[manuels58]

Can I nominate that for best one liner?



p.s. Manuels...Mousey is a woman

Thanks.
I also have realized that by her profile actually, but only after posting (becoming a bit lazy... shame on me!)
Sorry "Mousey"

No problem.

I'm sure it has been touched, but can someone explain to me, why these casinos are not paying American players in Visa prepaid giftcards, with a minimum of $50 and then in increments of $25 ?
They don't have a problem mailing spam, so what's the problem mailing visa cards ?

It's a great idea, but I do not think we can use a gift card to receive cash at an ATM... It would have to have our name on it. I am pretty sure that gift cards are for POS only, But I would not be against having that as an option.

Isn't a Visa Card as good as cash ?
You can pretty much use a Visa card anywhere, to buy anything these days.
I think, personally, I would prefer that, for the problems people have, getting paid.

Sorry I have not added the the thread earlier but been down with flu. I meant to tell everyone that Jackpot has offered to credit fees back to my account if I have to send the check back. Thanks everyone for your replies.

I've just had a look at my banking account online. My last check deposited from Jackpot Capital did not clear and will be returned to me. I phoned the bank. According to the lady I spoke with at the bank, the Federal Reserve will no longer process Canadian Checks. (Thank you, big fat gorilla in my living room. )

My bank uses an intermediary bank for wires, so that's going to present a problem, too.

So... I contact JC support this afternoon when I get home from work, and when I get this squared away.... I'm done online gambling. I'll miss it even though I didn't play very often.

So how are we suppposed to get paid then? (well not me cuz I never win, lmao)

Aren't all the checks from RTG now Canadian checks?

I'll be interested to know how they pay you...please keep us updated.

I've had only a couple of withdrawals in the past year or so, and each and every one of them has presented problems and delays... well, the first check from JC cleared last year, but that was then, and this is now.

I asked the girl at the bank if we were at war with Canada. LOL She laughed and that's when she told me the Feds won't process Canadian checks. Sounds like bull to me, but what do I know? I think they'd like me to have that money in their bank if they could process it.

I think I'll contact the rep here and just skip frontline CS. These major SNAFUs always end up in the Rep's lap anyway.

Will let you know how/if I get my monies (I was going to use it to replace my old dishwasher LOL) At this point, I'd settle for Amazon gift credits.

edited to add: And I was so happy with JC, too. I withdrew on a Sunday evening and had the check in hand by Thursday morning.

Non Canadian checks

Last check I got was a Well Fargo check from Arizona if I recall correctly. That was in the begining of December.

Well that is not what I wanted to hear. I will have to just go get the check I guess. I with you I might be done with online gambling also. Not worth all this.

I Received a Canadian check last year. Just to deposit it somewhere I had to open an account at a major bank. Put me on the grid and I did not like that at all. Then I waited the 6 months and then closed acct. I will not do foreign check ever again. There are so many rules and regulations to a foreign check at these banks its ridiculous. When I was questioned about the check 3 months later, I said hey I do online work. When I accept a job I don't ask where they are located I do the work they send me the money. I played it off like I was just as pissed as the bank manager. I even said trust me I will red flag this guys acct and make sure its cash and or paypal next time. They left me alone after that. Then when I closed acct they asked why and I said business was slow and there fees were to high. It worked.

I did notice something interesting the other day. Skrill is opening there market up in USA big time. I looked at website and my state is still pending. I'm thinking Skrill may be setting themselves up for the online USA casinos. I took it as a good sign. I'm wondering if the states that have it already can use it at any casinos and or use it to deposit money into then take that money to web wallet like OKP then use OKP to deposit into casino and then reverse for withdrawal. You know me always thinking outside the box.

Yes , I agree with you that it sounds like bull. It is not possible. There is too much trade between US and Canada. It sounds to me more like the bank doesnt want to process such. Now I can understand it is a pain in the ass to process, It can take a couple weeks up to maybe a month and a half for a bad check to come back. The bank really doesnt know if every check clears, so in the meantime they give people credit and run the risk of people taking the money, having the check go bad, putting the account negative, and then having to try to collect back from the customer.

Question , you said the check came back, so did it bounce, or did they just decide not to process it?

customer service is the same

I used to think only the chat operators told BS, but it's almost all customer service reps everywhere. I cannot believe the Fed. Reserve is stopping the processing of Canadian checks. Possible, but highly unlikely.

As best I can tell from looking at my account online, they simply didn't process it at the 'home' bank. In other words, when I made the deposit last week at my local bank, it showed up in my account as a deposit. Today I looked, and voila! money gone. With a note that it was being returned to me. I see no charges for a bounced check, it isn't stated as a bounced check, etc.... so they just didn't send it on to the clearing house or whatever once the check got to the 'home' bank. pffffttt... Talking to the girl at the bank, the check is simply being returned ... either to them at my local bank or to me directly. Either way, here I end up scrounging around for a way to receive my 'ill-gotten gains' yet again....

I won't try and deposit it at my household account bank, either. I don't think it would fair any better there.

Sounds like BS to me, too. How the devil would anyone do business with Canada?

I have an idea that the processor/bank account being used for these checks has been 'made' by the Feds, and is now on the banks/UIGEA 'no can do' list.

I have been informed by JC that I must return the check to them when I get it back and courier fees will be reimbursed... well... ok... but I live in a small town and we're talking an 80 mile round trip to find a store or shipper for the specified courier. **sigh** Maybe I can get the delivery guy to drop off an envelope for me next time they stop to deliver something at work. But then I'd bet it's going to be fun trying to make an international label online.... LOL

This whole thing just blows...

internet article about Canadian checks

I looked around the internet about depositing a Canadian check in a US bank. The article I was looking at was about selling goods on the internet- not gambling per se. They said if your bank will not accept a Canadian check to call around to other banks and ask if they will- some banks will accept while others do not. Also, the other advice they had is to deposit the whole check- and not try to cash. The bank is far more likely to reject if you are trying to cash it.

I don't know if banks are constantly changing their policy- and maybe there are more of them that will not accept foreign deposits. But, it may not hurt to ask a bank. If the bank asks what is from- you can always say you are selling items on ebay or whatever story you prefer. Good luck.

Really? Just a few weeks ago it was being said they were shutting down their operations for the u.s., since they really don't have operations for Canada and I closed my account cause of it I don't have to worry,lol.

 

[cheetahwind]

I haven't logged into my account for about 2 years, but I do know at one point they were processing transactions for online software. Like for Kapersky and some facebook apps. I just tried logging in, it said my account was locked due to inactivity. I would have to e-mail them to have it unlocked. Not that I could ever fund it for gambling purposes. The only way I could use my bank account or credit/debit card attached to my account. Was to have an "approved" US merchant ask them to process a transaction. Then and only then would they do anything with my bank information. Otherwise the uploading of funds or having someone send me funds was locked on my account, and I'm sure for the pure purpose of avoiding having an online casino. Disguise the true nature of the transaction. Then again I could be babbling for no reason.

Just a little update on my bank 'can't take Canadian checks' situation. I have phoned a 'larger' bank here in town where I already have an account, and they said they will take it for deposit - no problem. According to the lady I spoke with (went to school with her -- small town is nice sometimes LOL) they have customers that live in Canada and vacation here and are always bringing in checks from 'home'. There may be a hold period, but I don't give a darn as long as they have a way to process it..... LOL Will take it to the bank at lunchtime and see what I come up with.

I have PM'd Yasmeen (who has been great!) with this update also. Any problems, I'll let you guys know. I know some of you are interested in how this progresses.

 

[jimdog]

A question on Canadian checks deposited in US banks. Are the checks in Canadian funds so they convert them and you receive less? Or are they already in US dollars so you receive the whole amount-(eventually that is- after the hold time).

Checks I have received have been in US dollars, so no conversion needed.

Welll.... let's see... my little bank won't let an international wire thru - plus a wire costs me $100+ by the time everyone takes their cut-, I do not/cannot have a reputable ewallet, sooo... checks it is! So far my bank hasn't said anything... of course they've only had a couple to deal with in the past couple of yearsand they've been for less under $1k. LOL I hardly play anymore anyway because the money merry-go-round to/from casinos is beyond ridiculous.

My household account is with a larger bank, the tellers nearly had a stroke when we tried to split deposit a kind of large cashiers check from out of state my MIL sent us. We've been banking there 20+ years. We ended up depositing it all into our checking, with funds releases to our account gradually... which I don't understand... either the check is good or not, right? What's with 20% released after a week, then a larger percentage a week later?? Anyway, I don't think they'd handle a Canadian check without going nutso.

I swear, you'd think money itself is illegal, and we are at war with the entire world....

Same problem here Mousey. Just too much stress. My bank will take a wire, but none of the casinos I play at will send one.My bank will not take a canadian check without up to a 30 day hold. I cannot understand however, why your bank would only release funds to you on a cashier's check gradually. What is the problem? It is drawn on a US Bank and it is a cashier's check, I thought they were just like cash. Should only be 3 days for check to go from your bank to their bank and back again. Then all the money is there, so why the gradual release.That is how it works even with a regular check. Boy these banks are sure getting away with a lot with our money.

Unfortunately a cashiers check is not guaranteed, and actually takes longer than a regular check to come back. A cashiers check can come back 10 days or later. This is typically all because of fraudlent money orders. Lots of scams take place with fraudlent money orders. The bank that the money order is wrote off finds out that is fraudlent later on, hence the long time it takes to come back. It happens more and more often which is why banks are implementing procedures such as the one Mousey went through. A lot of how credit is handled is sometimes based upon your relationship with the bank. If the relationship is good and balance are kept, banks will give credit immediatley on almost anything possibly including IOU's on napkins. Regardless of however your bank handles it, the individual that deposits a Cashiers Checks or Internations check needs to keep in the back of their mind that it could be up to 30 days for that check to come back. Always be prepared to cover it. If its a very large amount dont go buy that new car just yet.
