This isn't actually a useful post, I just thought it a nice microcosm of how convoluted things are nowadays.
1) Try to make a deposit to a casinorewards casino via credit card. It's predictably declined. And gets me an automated call 5 minutes later from my bank's fraud department. (they're cool now)
2) Make the deposit with a debit card. It's surprisingly accepted. And gets me an in person call 10 minutes later from my bank's fraud department. (they're cool now)
3) Actually manage to win a bunch of money.
4) Request a cashout, to quicktender (which I haven't used yet) of almost $3k.
5) I crossed a CR threshold of some sort (probably around $2000), and my withdrawal just sits there for a few days. When I contact a CSR I'm informed I need to provide ID verification docs. A smaller withdrawal didn't require this.
6) I find a scanner, and send the verification.
7) Couple days later, get an email that my withdrawal has been processed.
8) No sign of the deposit in my quicktender account for a couple days. Start to get impatient.
9) This morning, before I leave for work, knock on the door from the fedex guy, who delivers me a CHECK from CR for the entire withdrawal amount. I guess quicktender was out of the question. It's actually drawn on the Bank of Montreal (but the New York Branch, so it's still a US check).
10) Deposited the check at the bank. The teller didn't complain, we'll see if it clears
