He began asking what the check was in payment for, including could the funds be from a casino, I evaded the question without answering. He advised me NOT to deposit or cash the check as it may not be honored on his end. He needed to contact "his superiors". I gave him my email address and phone number at his request and he said he would get back to me in 48hours to tell me whether the check was good or not.

I personally do not believe these checks will be paid. I suggest no one deposit them until they are advised to be either the casino or the company issuing the check.

This is definately not good news. I waited and waited for ACH payment from 2 of these groups and got a check instead. I did not want a check.

Hey FootDr...I see you are also in Texas...the other day I went into one of the ACE Check cashing stores - I've gotten friendly with one of the people that work there because I re-load my prepaid Visa allot there - he was telling me about someone who came in the other day to cash a big win "at one of the online poker sites..." I didn't want to say something stupid, like, "What, you mean you guys are CASHING these checks???" but that is the impression I got - has anyone tried this???

You just have to pray the check doesn't bounce... as in this complaint...

Guess you didn't ask whether or not he cashed it. Next time you are there, ask the maximum amount of the checks they cash.

But, the problem is not that our banks won't let us deposit the checks for payment. The problem is they are not honored when our bank presents them for payment.

For example, possibly the bank the check is written on finds out that the funds are for payment being made by a casino. Then they refuse payment to our bank and our bank gets the check returned and we are charged a fee for the check bouncing.

So, when the guy who's number was on the check tells me not try to deposit or cash it until he speaks with his superiors, I will wait to make sure they are going to honor the check. Otherwise, the check will never settle.

Wow - that is very good news indeed...I have $7050 pending from VIP Casino and have been getting the same run-around, one email says it's been processed, the next says they have no way to determine if it's been processed yet, and still the next one says something different....they ALL seem to say it's going to be close to a month for payment to show up, however, so the fact that you got an ACH done in less than a week gives me a faint glimmer of hope. That being said, I think I'm going to stick to INetBet...they seem to be the only ones that consistently GET 'ER DONE!!

They don't have a limit on the amount of the checks they cash...I've cashed checks for over $10K there before...but I don't think it will work in this case due to the fact that these checks are PT checks... BUT I'M CURIOUS: HAS ANYONE OUT THERE SERIOUSLY DEPOSITED A CHECK FROM JACKPOT FACTORY, BIG DOLLAR (OR GRAND PRIVE) AND HAD IT BOUNCE??? (I know that is the fear, but would like to hear from someone it has actually happened to)
