1. You wait weeks for the cheque

Cheques for $1,000 or more will be sent by courier at PokerStar's expense. It won't take weeks for a sub $1k cheque either, though it depends on the AU postal service.

2. It'll be some dodgy ass US$ cheque from some crazy little offshore bank your bank has probably never heard of, they might even accuse you of having a fake cheque :P
[/ QUOTE ]
I can't remember the name of the bank, but it's not crappy, it's in Canada rather than offshore, and we've processed literally thousands of them with very few problems at all.

3. You'll get raped on bank fees aswell as the exchange rate
[/ QUOTE ]
You can request the cheque be sent in AUD. We give our players the same rate that our bank gives us. Right now, that's 1.343544. If your bank charges you a lot for depositing a cheque, I suggest changing banks.
