WTF is up with everyone thinking that if you play online poker you are gonna be on TV someday?

Because besides online and TV where else could you possibly play poker?

Re: Received very strange check from Absolute
 

I went back to my bank and spoke with someone else. She was more informative and helpful, and explained to me that the reason they had to send for collections was that there were no routing numbers on the bottom of the check. Does anyone remember (or someone still have a check) if your check had routing numbers?

I even told her it was from an online poker site and she didn't blink an eye at that. I could tell that she was trying to gauge how nervous I was by saying things like "hmm, I got one of these foreign ones before and it was no good." But she didn't act like the collections thing was the end of the world like the first teller did.

I requested an amount over $2000 in order to get free courier service. I guess they are no longer doing this?

I also received a check from the German bank via snail mail, for $25 less than my cashout.

I have emailed UB, but have not had no response in the past to email correspondence, so I'm not holding my breath.

I also got a check that I paid for the courier service but it came normal mail except that it took the exact same amount of time to get here as the last check I got which came via fedex....so whatever UB.

Also, they've always responded to my emails fairly quickly - maybe you're a criminal.

I requested a cashout from AP on the 11th and still havent received anything.

Re: Ultimate Bet withdrawal short $25
 

i received the same check in german, for 5k from AP. had no problems depositing it, but they did put a hold on it for a week. which is fine by me.

also to note, fedex wasnt an option, but i somehow still got the check in less than a week. i was surprised and pleased.

You guys who haven't had any trouble depositing/cashing these checks - what banks do you use?

I use wells fargo.

I'm at an advantage I guess, cause my mom worked for them for 22 years as a teller (although different branch than the one I use, but a couple of the tellers have worked at both places)

Also been a customer since 1997 (I'm only 22, so yes, a good chunk of my life)

They even know it's from online poker, they don't play or anything, but they also aren't ZOMG IT'S ILLEGAL!!! They just cash it just like any other checks I deposit (like from my renters)

Re: Ultimate Bet withdrawal short $25
 

No, I'm not a criminal. I am happy to report that they did respond to my email within a reasonable time frame and refunded the $25.

Yea, my mother still asks me that constantly.
