[censored] Chexx Mix, theyve been reducing the amount of garlic bagel crisps in each bag for years now. Youre lucky to get 3 these days.

Yeah, and once they took the peanuts out of the Cheddar Chexx Mix, that's when I quit...I mean, now the fish won't go to the trouble to buy it, so all the sharks will sit around eating each others snacks, until we gradually just lose all our crumbs to the couch cushions (unless you're on WSEX...then you sit on the floor).

Answer form UB

Kevin,



Chexx is still available, and any changes will be announced. Please be informed that any withdrawal methods changed will be replaced. Should you still wish, you may withdraw funds by requesting a check. The check can be requested from “My Account”, and is displayed as CHEXX in the menu.



We expect to implement more withdrawal methods that are timelier and convenient by the end of the week and will announce any formal changes soon.

Hello davebreal,

Thank you for your email.

At present, we are continuing to send cheques to US based players, and
we plan to continue doing so without any problems. We use multiple
cheque processors and do not expect any interruption in the provision
of service to our US players.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

i guess it's still game on for me, but I'm really nervous about having my bank cash large poker checks in the near future.

Having worked for PokerStars, I had a chance to confirm the multiple payment processors for checks with one of the senior-level employees there (Ellis).

He confirmed that they indeed do use multiple check processors and that no disruption in service is anticipated. The accounting and deposits team at PokerStars is arguably the most efficient department within the company in my opinion, and I have full faith in them to continue servicing US players with multiple options.

I got the exact same email that was posted up there from "Ellis." I responded asking to know if I can get a 100 % guarantee that my money will be sent quickly and efficiently after 2/2. If they say yes to this, I'll trust them.

but can we have full faith in US banks to process these checks going forward? without delays?

Yeah, I know - Ellis gave me the standard form letter, but elaborated further with regard to the multiple payment processors and said that there should be no problems going forward.

Obviously I can't guarantee the safety of your money since I don't work there anymore, but I would certainly bet on it.

There's always going to be delays when the checks are drawn from foreign bank accounts or tied into them - it's pretty standard, unfortunately. A hold on the money until the check clears the US clearinghouses should take 3-5 business days and nothing more.

I don't understand. Even if all the check-drafting companies fell through, wouldn't ePassporte still work?

It works today, but will it work 30, 90, or 180 days from now?
