Received a check but question about cashing it.

bAdSmoker, I also just thought about this...

If you don't want to open a checking account at a bank, you can always sign up for the Wired Plastic card which functions as a checking account. The card account gives you a routing and checking account number just like a checking account. I just opened one and received my WP Visa Debit card today, 8 days after signing up, in the mail and activated the card/account. Extremely convenient when you can withdraw from QT to your WP account and access your money at any ATM within 3-5 business days (normal time it takes for the QT wire to hit your WP account).

WP is the only prepaid card out there that allows bank wire deposits to your account. All other prepaid cards i.e. Netspend, AccountNow only allow ACH deposits which most if not all gaming sites and QT don't offer. For future withdrawals maybe you should sign up for a WP account this way you can receive your cashouts faster via bank wire from QT to WP or the gaming site directly to WP. Plus you will elminate the headaches associated with waiting for your check to arrive, cashing it and worrying about it bouncing.

Just a thought.

It is odd what you write. Normally a cheque is accepted without any hassels, like mine. It was taken and I got the money. I think the company where you took that cheque wanto to pre check the cheque to lower the risk in case it would be fake. It means they will call the institute that issued the cheque. If I am right, it has nothing to do with the casino, but they will call the check issuer bank. This part of the story now is independent of the casino. You have to go through this procedure because of the place you took the cheque to, and not the casino (I think for first read).

Got the following a week ago as we just went thru the same thing. The Payee's bank was a check cashing place and by all means don't use the "G" word if asked what it's for.

We have informed Payee that Payor's bank offices are open 8AM - 5PM
EST Monday - Friday

Payee's bank can therefore contact them at the above time using the number
given on the cheque.

This is the only way for Payee's bank to verify the cheque to speed up
clearence.

I'm just going to wait until monday to see what Intertops is going to do about this, This is very frustrating and time consuming. I had no idea i would have to go through so much trouble just to cash a check lol. Now I know better.

Thanks for all of your input. I appreciate it!

I'm just going to tell them to A) Put it back into my casino account, B) Cancel the check and send it to my Quicktender account, C) Wire it to my Wired Plastic card.

Thanks again.

Best option other than having someone deposit it for you. Is there a reason you don't want to sign it over to a relative or friend who can deposit it for you? You would have your money in as little as 5 business days.

Hi All,

Please be assured that Intertops checks are cashable and there should not be any problems with cashing a check through your bank account.

All check cashing agents have to verify the check, before cashing them and this is where the delay could occur.

A Quicktender payout was processed in solution to this case, however, we would like our customers to be aware that the best way to receive the check funds fast, is to deposit it into their own bank accounts.

Best regards
Intertops Management
