Re: I just got 500 bucks from absolute poker
 
whats the best way, i have none of those accounts to be able to transfer unless i pay 8 bucks for a check, will the bank just cash it and give me money? Not sure how it works.

ON a side note: from what i see, AP has more people on it this week than last or the week before. Not sure if its because of the money they gave back or the commercials on tv. I like playing there

Paying $8 to get a $500 check > no check

According to pokersitescout, they have less people playing there. However, you probably got the cause partially right. They're likely leaving because they had to be refunded money due to shady management figures ripping you and many many other players off for anywhere from $700,000-$7,000,000. Even if you like playing there, this should give you reason to reconsider.

Seriously... wtf is the problem. Stick it in a bank machine and wait for it to clear. No big deal, it's a cheque ffs.

it doesn't say "ZOMG POKER SITE!" on the check

They'll have no idea it's a poker check. If they ask, and you don't want them to know the truth, just say you sold some stuff on ebay or something like that.

The waiting period usually depends more on your average daily balance vs. check amount....from the sounds of things, might take a little bit to clear. (ask them, say hey, how long will this take to clear)

Precisely. I just got one from the Absolute Clowns. It's drawn from a well respected bank (that I already do business with) and it doesn't reference poker, the internet or anything similar. Never had any trouble with them before and I don't expect to this time either.

My bank used to cash these no problem, but since it's a non-US bank, they now go get the funds first. Several other people have reported this too. My bank warned me so I didn't try to withdraw or count on those funds, but other people felt a little screwed. At least two weeks, maybe more. Another reason not to play there.

On a side note, I think it might be because of all the fraud comitted with counterfeit and otherwise bad checks from other countries lately, and not a gambling online issue. Saw something about it on some news show.

Yes, you can stick a cheque inside an atm machine using a deposit envelope. Though I've heard rarely that some banks don't allow deposits using the ATM.

I think he means the bank won't let him have access to the cheque funds until it actually clears (his bank getting the funds from the other bank).

He likely means you cannot just cash the check- but have to deposit it and wait for funds to clear.

Which is somewhat routine anyhow.

I've cashed checks from worse/smaller sites- Golden Palace etc, and with likely far lesser known banks they are being drawn on, and I've never had a problem.

Sure there is some chance it wouldn't cash thru, but I wouldn't put money on it.
