Hi all,

I just want to say hi to the folks out there that play cards just like me. There are a few reasons why I joined on here.

1. I just won $5k+ and I am having trouble knowing how to get my money. I received my checks via the mail and deposited the first two. They both got returned do to the bank finding out the are foreign gambling checks after 2 weeks.

***The checks are from Ignition Poker***

I just received the checks back in the mail, and they have my bank stamp on the back. My bank is a small local bank, so I am wondering if I can bring the checks to Chase (I keep reading they take the checks) or go a different route. I am trying to stay away from bitcoin as my State does not use it yet

This is where you guys hopefully come in! I just would like to hear from people that have had to go through this before and what should I do with the checks at this point. It is frustrating for me to just have $5k and no way to get it. Right now they are just paper 😡

2. I love poker, and it is my favorite hobby. I have been playing for 15 years now and always love a good bad beat story

3. I always see your site has freerolls, and hopefully can play with the folks on here to talk trash to each other for bragging rights 😉

I use cryptocurrency to withdraw money from most sites, and have never had a problem. If you've been playing poker for 15 years, then you're an experienced player and I think it's time to use more modern methods. I hope you can solve your problems soon.

My State doesn't use it at all, and if they did I would love to use it. Unfortunately converting bitcoin to USD is a nightmare from what I can see.

You got to withdrawal to your wallet... then get it to coinbase... then sell it and I am just not familiar enough with it to put that amount of money in it.

Jonathan Little helps a little, but it sounds really like a nightmare the amount of changes he says

The problems that you described above are currently haunting many players and the fact that bitcoin will continue to be a strong currency with which you can work also does not inspire confidence.On my account, what should happen-because a lot of payment systems and payments are closed to people and this means something.

It's easier, cheaper, and quicker than what you are currently trying to do.

I'd suggest learning how to set up a BTC wallet, it's not hard.

At first, I also thought it was very difficult. But I tried once, learned to do it, and have no problems. In order not to risk a large amount, try to withdraw for example $ 100 and you will understand that this is a really good method.
