There have been some threads where people trying to cash online-gambling checks that looked a little different/funny would actually get Q's from the teller about "who sent you this money and what is it for" and other nosy none-of-their-damn-business type crap.

I understand but I don't think the two issues are related.

I've always had the sense that the stories with checks may just come down to the nature of the relationship you have with your bank. If you're a regular adult with a long account history without anomalies and you deposit checks via the ATM I doubt you'd ever have a problem with a check from a poker site.

If a person in their early twenties with a new account is looking to get a check cashed that has an address which is a P.O. Box in the Netherlands the bank might express some trepidation.

These issues should not impact the convenience of a wire transfer.
