Bad checks issued by Bodog

[winbig]

And always remember that if you have a casino check for $1500 or less, you can take it to your local walmart. They only charge $3 max to cash any check.

They claim that it has to be a payroll or federal check, but how can they prove it's not a payroll check?

Of course they could come back some time later and say the check didn't clear, but I've yet to have that happen. It seems their bank has quite a hard time (if they even check) to see if a passed check was from an online casino or not.

I've cashed checks from Bodog there in the past without any problems.

"Whoa-oa here he comes....watch out boy he'll chew you uuup....who-oa here he comes.....he's a yaaaam-eater...."

Sorry yam - that song just came to my head and I had to have a giggle

I know hindsight is 20/20, but with all of the current problems, why would someone go ahead and spend the money from a check that may or may not go through, based solely on it being from an online casino?

Surely one would wait to make sure the funds have cleared before spending it...

FWIW, are you assuming the check came back for NSF, or did you actually see the NSF stamp on the returned check?

because it showed the funds in my online account 5 days later as if the funds had cleared. I didn't just assume it was NSF...believe me, I stood in the bank while they actually inquired what the problem was. Writing a bad check is still illegal my friend, and weather it is an online casino or not one just doesn't expect it, you know? I'm just making people aware of the situation so they can make their own choice to play there or not. I for one will NOT.
Just to update... a new check is on the way and the bank has offered to hold it, and let me know if and when the funds clear.

yameater, it's actually a Felony to tender a bad check for over $300.00 or $500.00 depending on what state you live in...the Magistrate or DA's office can issue a warrant for the arrest of whoever signed that check...

Take 'em to small claims court....in most states if someone passes you a rubber check, you can sue for 3x the value of the check

I can guarantee that nobody will show up to contest it.....hehehe

You can only collect certain checks through the criminal courts - those given for goods delivered or services rendered at the time the check was written. Checks written to pay past due bills for example are collectable only in civil court. False imprisonment is also a felony

If asked by the judge, how would one go about proving he or she took the check in exchange for goods or services of valuable consideration? EEEK.

And if they do show up I'm sure the FBI and the fed and interpol will offer you a hefty reward for someone from bodog stepping foot in the US

No yameater, you misunderstood, it's a felony towards Bodog...not you, you're the one that needs to bring the charges against Bodog...

Sorry RobWin, I did misunderstand. I'm a little touchy right now...frayed nerves, cross eyes, nail biting...all the side affects that go with bounced checks. I see your point now. thx.
