Work in progress means they are working to find any way possible to screw you out of your money.Sounds like they have one this time.I have to laugh when they ask for scanned documents "to protect the player".How does that protect the player?They really mean if the name,address,ID dont match grab your ankles.they dont care if someone fraudulently deposits and loses.Irt doesnt cost them anything unless they payout.MSWILS411 said:When she made the deposit her name was on the account and the check was good. Now this is where i am shocked, She requsted a withdrawl by check by courier not only are they proccessing it but the casino flushed it for her. My theory is the company that processes that casinos payout checks will interveine. Any opinions on this? The fact that they flushed it and it says work in progress does that mean anything?
silkprint said:I am still wondering why she can't just put the money in the bank if what Lord have mercy said is right on . Whose money was it that was sitting in the bank account ? You see my point .
You can't expect a casino to front you money to play with a then split with you if you win or take the loss if you lose. It just doesn't work that way and to hope it will 'slide' through without them knowing just isn't right . Obviously noone informed the casino which was suggested in one of the first posts so already it would look bad even if what you are saying is totally on the up and up .

MSWILS411 said:I WAS NOT GETTING UPSET THATS WHY I SAID SORRY FOR THE CAPS. DID NOT MEAN TO SOUND RUDE. I REALIZED WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. IN MY FIRST POST I GUESS I WAS NOT THAT CLEAR. I SAID THEY HAD AGREED TO LEAVE THAT ONE OPEN, MEANING HE CLOSED THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT. MY APOLOGIES. I DO WANT INPUT AND APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.
MSWILS411 said:NO SHE WAS NOT MAKING A TRANSFER TO THAT ACCOUNT . IT WAS ALREADY THERE. SHE WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO PAY A BILL AND WHEN SHE WENT TO CHECK THE BALANCE OF HER OTHER ACCOUNT DURING THIS PROCCESS SHE FOUND OUT HE CLOSED IT.. AND NO SHE IS NEW TO ONLINE GAMBLING. THATS WHY I BELIVE EVEN SENDING THAT MONEY ORDER IS NT GONNA HELP HER ,
winbig said:IMHO I think that if she can prove the account was open and had the funds available to cover the deposit when it was made, she shouldn't have any problems.
pacers31 said:Guys, the casino doesn't care about any of these details. All they are concerned with is whether the debit goes through when presented for payment. If she doesn't get her ex to reopen this account very quickly, the debited item will go through and be returned as an NSF item! All this stuff about her being a nice person doesn't matter. She better make nice with the ex husband long enough to get the cash in the account or she can kiss it goodbye. I wish I could give you a warmer and fuzzier version of this, but it is business pure and simple. Like I said previously, if this casino is willing to payout on NSF checks, I'm going to play there all day. Get my check ready casino X, I have lots of blank checks!! Not that many of them are any good though LOL!!! Character doesn't matter, only $$$$$$$ to the casinos
silkprint said:This is an interesting thread and I will be curious to see what happens.
Interestingly very true regardless of any excuses. Why did she not know the account was closed? It doesn't happen overnight.Someone writes a bad check and wins.. Of COURSE they're gonna offer to send a check right away to cover their deposit.. They lose and I bet they're not going to be so complying.
IT WAS ALREADY THERE. SHE WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO PAY A BILL AND WHEN SHE WENT TO CHECK THE BALANCE OF HER OTHER ACCOUNT DURING THIS PROCCESS SHE FOUND OUT HE CLOSED IT..
You can close an account if you're the primary (First Name on account with one signor required) but cannot close an account if you are the secondary on the account, but you CAN have your name removed and all responsiblity pertaining to the account.Unreal that someone can close an account with 2 names on it. I have a buisness account with my buisness partner and we tried to close it not too long ago - she went in alone - nope, can't do that without my signiture
MSWILS411 said:Ok I am not gonna say names because it may make it worse. A few nights ago i wona good bit of money as posted in the screen shots. i called my friend and so she logged into her account and decided to pla as we were talking on the phone . She also won and way more than i did, problem is she deposited by echeck 200.00. okay so the next day she decids to do a withdrawl by ach bank transfer. She called her bank because she has 2 accounts there and wanted to transfer some money. Her husband has taken her off the bank account. They had a agreement to leave that one open until the divorce was finale. Why i have no clue other thanhe was getting the housing allowance allotment sent there cause hes military and until the divorce is finale that has to go to her. My question is, She won over 20,000.00 but when that echeck does not clear she will not get a dime of it is what I'm thinking. Any suggestions, Someone said maybe she should try to make a deal with the casino , I'm coming here where I know people will be honest. Thanks you guys any suggestions would be so appreciated

If she had lost she would be rushing to withdraw the money through an ATM wouldnt she. I doubt whether she would engage herself in this sort of a predicament.

The chances of this player getting her $20k are almost nil.
Some members have said that if she could prove she had the funds at the moment she wrote the cheque then she should be paid.
Don't think so!
Eg Write a cheque, get hubby to withdraw all the money and close the account, plead innocence to the Casino.
I am not saying that is what has happened here but how is the Casino to know?
A casino I play at has recently removed my 25K limit. I could theoretically pull that sort of scam and go for a 100K plus win with no risk if I lost.
I am afraid there is too much at stake for Casinos for them to pay winnings on bad cheques.
