How long to receive checks from Battlefield Poker?

How long does it take to get checks from Battlefield, and are there any other withdrawal methods available for Americans?

The only other option they have is EcoCard. The battlefield software lists "swift/direct bank transfer" as an option for usa, but support told me they are no longer doing wires to the US.

I would like to hear about checks too. Surely there must be some us players who have done check withdrawls from battlefield who can answer? I asked support and they said 5-10 business days for regular mail, and 3-5 by courier. So probably just double that to get a better estimate...

note:I just started playing on battlefield, and made an Eco Withdrawal on the 17th. It's still processing, but I'm very concerned because gambling 911 says eco is pulling out of the us market, and the ecocard website seems to be down right now. All that being said, I have yet to hear anything negative about Eco.

I have used their check option from BF before and it took me around 3-4 weeks to receive the check.

Sanjeev: Hello, how may I help you today?

you: hello, i read on a poker forum that ecocard was leaving the US market

you: and their site is currently down

you: do u know anything about this?

Sanjeev: It appears that the Ecocard servers are currently down. We have been informed that they will be leaving in the near future however this appears to just be downtime at present

you: oh, so they are leaving the US market?

you: do u have any other options in line after they leave?

Sanjeev: From what we have been told they will be leaving in the near future. However we have a new payment and withdrawal system coming into place to replace them as well

you: what type of system will the new one be, similar to ecocard or neteller?

Sanjeev: However we aren't able to give you any information regarding the new processor until closer to the release date

you: well, can you say if it will be similar to ecocard or neteller?

Sanjeev: Sorry the information we've been given is just that there is a new processor and that its coming into place. We don't have access to that information at present

Sanjeev: Sorry.

Sanjeev: If I did I would give it to you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

you: so it is pretty safe to say to get your money off ecocard if you have any in there?
Sanjeev: I would suggest getting in contact with Ecocard directly as they should be able to inform you further regarding this

you: also, how soon will the new option be available?

you: well, getting in contact with ecocard directly is like trying to reach the fkn president

you: in case u did not know
Sanjeev: From what we have been told, it should be brought out around abouts when Ecocard card are leaving

Sanjeev: [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sanjeev: Sorry to hear that

you: well, that is good news, and i thank you for your help sanjeev
you: so u have no time , just that ecocard is leaving the market soon?

you: is that correct

Sanjeev: My pleasure

Sanjeev: Sorry for the inconvenience [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sanjeev: We don't have a timeframe on Ecocard yet, thats correct
