Stars Cashout Trip Report - Post 2/2/07

[badblood44]

I apologize in advance if this is not useful information.

2/5/07 - Request cashout via Check from Stars, amount > $1k
2/5/07 - Minutes later receive confirmation email from Stars Support with notification to wait up to 15 business days to receive the check.
2/12/07 - FedEx delivers check to door (note: No tracking information sent via email in the previous week).
2/12/07 - Note that check is indeed processed by Chexx, Inc. and dated 2/7/07
2/12/07 - Cash check at local bank - no issues.

Side note: I couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy about the process. That's perhaps my own hangup, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable cashing and/or depositing such checks on a regular basis. YMMV.

To confirm I requested cashout by regular mail on 2/2/07
Was in mail bax 2/10/07
Chexx Inc
No issues

I agree this cashout method works for now but alternitave methods must be found soon.

Bank held my check and went as far to call me and ask what the check was for, specifically asking if it was for a "lottery." I would not tell them and they simply put a hold on it. We'll see in a few days.

Karak567, judging by our post count and lottery quote his check was good sized correct??

keep us posted, i should have no problem with a $400 check i would think.

if you tell the bank that it's from online poker, what's realistically going to happen?

i deposited a $10K check at my bank a couple of days before the Neteller fiasco and nobody asked me any questions.

I requested a check of $1,000+ from Stars on 2/5 also.

I haven't received my check yet. I e-mailed them about tracking and they said this:

"There has been a slight delay in receiving the FedEX tracking information but please be assured that we will forward this information to you as soon as possible."

So maybe they have a hard time getting the tracking info from the check processing company.

Anyway, hopefully my check will be here soon.

What will happen? probably nothing, but of the 3 options Id pick telling them its from some consulting work over either online poker or lottery. My bank didn't ask though so I really could care less

I requested one on the 7th, and haven't heard anything, so you're not alone.
