Can’t get check cash from poker site.

[capped again]

I cashed out some money from several sites via check for the first time. Boy do I miss Neteller.

My credit union deposited all of them into my account except one. They told me that it was on a foreign account and that they did not accept foreign checks.

So I went to a check cashing place and they told me that there would be a 6% charge. Hey, at this point I just wanted the thing cashed. I had to fill out paperwork and wait for it to be processed. Next thing I know they are telling me they can’t verify the check and will not cash it.

The check is from Paytech International LTD, Barclays Bank out of London. I’m not even sure what poker site issued it. I’m thinking about going and opening a bank account at something other than a credit union and seeing if they will let me deposit it.

Can anyone tell me who issued this check and how they have cashed them?

I have deposited foreign poker checks from two sites with my bank (Chase) and havn't had any problems.

This is just your credit union's nitty rules. Try a different check cashing place, or open up a bank account somewhere.

You have a check from a poker site but you don't know which one?

I cashed out some money from several sites "at the same time" via check for the first time. Boy do I miss Neteller.

My credit union deposited all of them into my account except one.
At this point I have no idea which site it came from “Payteck Interenational LTD ?”.

Open an account at a real bank, not a tard credit union.

Barclay's is the third largest bank in the UK. They are buying and going to name the arena where the NJ Nets are planning on moving to play basketball. They are listed on the NYSE (ticker:BCE). I bet your credit union isn't traded there. HAHAHA!

I am confident that most real banks like money and will be glad to create a new account and accept your deposit.

I guess you're one of the few lucky Americans not to have their money stuck in Neteller.

Credit Unions that 'do not accept foreign checks' have never heard of this.

I got most of my bankroll out of Neteller when things got shaky. I left more than I would like to lose at the sites I play because I was afraid there might be a problem getting money in. When it started looking like there might be a problem getting money out at all I asked for checks and only left enough at each site to play.

I have been doing this as a profitable hobby not for a living. I decided to let things settle down and shake out. Have not been following where things are at for a while.

Would love an update on the best way to get money in to sites and out! Can Americans feel safe having money at sites now or is there still some nut out there that thinks I am immoral that might screw me out of my money?
