cashing Bovada check

[weplant]

hi. Well I received my Bovada check..It says to deposit your check via ATM..Maybe this is a silly question, but does that mean I should not
take check inside bank and deposit? I use a relatively small local bank and have never used a ATM machine..thanks

Weesie,

My answer would be yes. If you take it inside and have a teller handle it, then they will physically look at the check. Chances are they will question it. ATM deposits are usually only read by a machine and as long as the codes are right, all is good.

I would follow what Bovada suggests. My first check from Bovada stated to deposit only thru ATM. My second check stated to deposit only with Bank Teller or Check Cashing Store (do not use ATM).

If your still unsure, just shoot them an email or if you need an answer immediately, call them.

If your check isn't drawn on a US bank, there's a very good chance the ATM will reject it. You may as well try, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. Just deposit it at the teller. Despite what others have said in this thread, chances are nothing will be asked. If the teller does ask, they are just verifying that it isn't a scam check from ebay or craigslist or something. Just say the check is payment from a trusted source. If they press further, tell them you do pornographic webcamming for money, and that you'd be happy to go into the specifics of your particular area of expertise if they're interested.

Exactly what bpb said... Online casinos like Bovada state this because they know that
some people might fold under pressure and state that the check comes from online
casino winnings when asked. This causes headaches on both parties, the winner because
they will forever be scrutinized by the bank and the online casino itself because they have to
issue out another check or find the player an alternate method of withdraw.

On a side note, after replying, in my mind online gambling in the U.S. nowadays is similar to the
prohibition laws we had in the 1920's... Kinda.

You can also just mail the check to your bank with a completed deposit slip.

I love it...Especially pornographic webcamming

Just deposit it..

Anytime a bank has asked me what one of these checks was, i tell them i do freelance writing work for whatever company is on the check..

They always clear…

Bovada probably has the best payout processor for the US right now.
