Apparently things are speeding up a little.

I requested on 8/31, delivery on 9/14 (today).

I requested payouts from both Bodog and Absolute at the same time for the same amount a few months ago. Without going over the hiccups I had, I eventually got both payments. But I don't know which check was from which place.

What my question concerns is that one of the payments was not a "check" literally but a "draft" ("draught"?) or something, because it didn't have any routing numbers on the bottom, from a (major) German bank. It did have lots of colors on it and a mechanically inscribed amount, so it looked pretty official. But the upshot of it is that it added another several weeks for "collection"--and 2% in fees.

I can't find anything in search about this (maybe I suck). Has no one else seen these? Anyone know which site it is. (So I could at least ask for a fee rebate.) Fedex charges at Absolute (else 2 months waiting), and now collection process--yet more things sucking about online poker.

edit: I strongly suspect it's Bodog, but I'd like to confirm before I start asking them questions...

taking a loooong time for checks to roll in.
originally requested maybe 7 wks ago for 40k.
still waiting on 2 more checks.
about 1 check for 5k comes in every few days.
sortof randomly. sometimes they come back to back
sometimes a wk long interval btw them.

8/19 req 3K by courier rec'd 9/11
8/16 req 4K by reg mail rec'd 9/15

3K cashed/cleared just fine
4K still in my wallet-good thing got an email from bodog that it was a duplicate check number. New one due within a week.

I usually keep an eye on all the Bodog threads and I haven't seen anything like this. The last check I got from Bodog was in mid July and it was drawn from a high profile US bank. Cleared immediately at my bank. I have never gotten a check from Absolute.

Requested payout by courier - 9/7.

Just got my tracking number 9/19.

Only confusing thing is that I got two tracking numbers, but only have one request for a payout in.

I just spoke with 2 CS ppl at bodog. They won't let me withdrawl via check, ONLY by NuCharge. I withdrew to NuCharge and had CS close my bodog account down.

I'm done wtih bodog, newbodog and bodoglife. f'em

you might be getting two seperate checks for the whole value of the cashout.
