Stars Paper Check Monitoring Thread

[DrOlson]

Yes, same from Stars. Stars does mention something about being phoned when cashing out 1k or more. I have never receieved a phone call though. You will need to have someone home to sign for the check, thats about it.

After seeing the Bodog situation and Full Tilt suspending paper checks, hopefully temporarily, I'm feeling a bit nervous. To be clear, I have yet to hear about any Stars paper checks having problems, but hopefully, this thread can become the depository.

Is there new info on Full Tilt? the following was posted in the check thread that started re: Bodog:

Ross,

One more thing. Are there any issues with Americans cashing paper
checks? I have always thought this was a method of funds transfer that
would not go away, but I hear that a check from BoDog is not cashable in
the US. It obviously made me wonder if the same is true for FTP as I
play here exclusively.


Hello Ryan,

Thank you for concern.

Currently, there is no conflict with issuing American residents with a
check. However, if this happens to be an issue in the future, rest
assured there will be enough information in advance for customers to
adjust.

Thanks again Ryan, and if there's anything else we can help you with,
please let us know.

Regards,

Ross

Also, I emailed Stars today to ask that my withdrawal options be changed so I don't have to withdraw the most recent deposit back to neteller (obv) so that I can request paper checks, and I asked if paper checks were still viable. I'll post a response here when I get one.
