Bank of America declines to deposit my check.

[love2winalot]

Hiya: As i posted earlier, i sent my check from the online casino, thru click2pay, to my wife in Las Vegas. BOA refused to allow her to deposit it into our acct:, siting UIGEA regulations. I have deposited these checks before with no issue at all. She will just send it back to me, and i will deposit into my PNB bank acct: here.

I also called BOA 800 # to complain, and my Acct: has been Flagged as, "Having unverifiable source" deposits. ie, checks from the tribes, singaphone, and so on. My Local bank manager, who knows me, told my wife the, "Flag", is what alerted the teller to not just accept and check, or wire transfer into our account. The Bank mgr said sorry, but it is out of his control.
Look like I left just in time......................hehehehe.

PS: Each time i made a deposit into PNB in the Philippines, from on line gambling, and they know it, they tell me to go Win more money.........

B.O.A has alaways been known as a royal PITA as far as gambling transactions goes, i used to have an account there and got questioned on an international wire coming in, needless to say i use an old credit union account i have had for years now, hopefully no problems should i ever get lucky again.

Hiya: The only reason i posted this is, "by looking at prior post", I always thought that living in Las Vegas, being a Gambling town, and a International tourist destination, that deposit from overseas always had a much better chance of going thru without question, vs Topeka Kansas local bank, as example. I am going to deposit/withdraw via check from Bodog and see what happens. I also have a Wells Fargo acct:, and i will try that also, and post the outcome.

Wire transfers sent to BOA all the time, no issue

I send wiretransfers from QT to BOA and then withdrawal the money via ATM and deposit in another bank. no problems. but must keep transfer under certain dollar amount to avoid questions.

Same here. QT wire to BOA no problem. Of course I haven't tried since June 1st, yet.

BOA never questioned any of my wires.. guess they really could give a dog turd less, especially since they're getting $60 just for putting it in my account.

Have not had problems since june lst....

have two wiretransfers on the way. There is no possible reason for any bank to deny an incoming wiretransfer, they may call to question it, but "business transactions" are not illegal. Wire transfers unlike, credit card transactions are not coded as to category. This is why the system will not work as evidenced by the fact Credit Transactions are not. The Bill did more damage then good, it made using debit/credit easier.

I actually phoned DOJ regarding a fraudulent continual abuse of EFT transactions by one particular company, while they were aware of this company they advised they didn't have the manpower to enforce this Legislation. Nor do Banks. And Visa makes a ton from overseas banks and unless there is blatant evidence of a crime, won't do anything to cut off this source of income.

The Bill was doomed from the getgo! To enforce it to costly, no way to enforce it and it was a waste of our tax dollars to implement a law when Banks and Financial Institutions clearly advised that the only system in place to police it was through Credit Cards.
