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 :)
 
From the time the withdrawal was finally "approved" to when the fedex guy knocked on my door, it was 2-3 days.

The delay from when I first hit the withdrawal button though... that was weeks.

And more curiously, I got a different withdrawal from a different CR casino, which was still pretty big (over $2k), but this one was processed to my quicktender account. So I'm not sure why that one was a check anyway.
