Absolute/UB cashout (US only) options?

txbarbarossa · #1 08-11-2007, 03:59 PM

Well I'm ready to make a withdraw and noticed B.S. fees for a check by airmail - $8. That's kinda lame. I don't have a epassporte account but perhaps I should set one up? I know it costs $5 to "deposit/open" an account with epassporte, and $2 for each ACH to a bank.

I'm not crazy about third party processors post UIGEA.. so what recommendations do you guys give?

ask for a regular check. i have gotten checks from both ub and absolute in the past 3 months and none took longer than 2 weeks and i paid no fees

Yeah well apparently they now charge $8 a cheque.

correct. He was referring to "regular" checks in his OP. I just got one today and it appears to be a cashier's check. That is probably why there is an extra charge.

I transfer money from AP and UB to stars via epass and request a check at stars, but I only played at the smaller rooms for a month or so, take that with a grain of salt as now stars is my home just becuz of software

You can't request a regular check anymore, right?

Can anyone give me an idea of how much time it took for a ub cashout to get to epassporte?

Epassporte is garbage. You will hate it. They also charge a fee, and without a limit increase you will only be able to deposit and withdraw in incramaments of 300 every 24 hours.

AP epassporte withdraw takes about a day. I imagine UB would be similar.
