[Penero101]

I opened an account just to try to cash/deposit my check from Bovada and I haven't made any deposits and I didn't research this info at first it was my first withdrawal and I assumed the check would be converted by the time it reached me....this wait has me going crazy is it because my balance is low that extends the time or what I enjoy Bovada, but this is alot to wait around on is there anyway to speed this process it's been roughly 17 business days since it was sent to processing and I'm seeing different answers from different forms so I ask what now?

Sorry I'm struggling a little bit to understand what you mean,. Are you still waiting for the check from the casino or are you waiting for it be cleared?

Hi there Penero. Welcome to Askgamblers forum.

 

Firstly, I must comment on the post that you have put forward. There isn't much details given, and worse still, it's all put in one long sentence...from start to finish...with no fullstops! The meaning of your long sentence can easily be misread by anyone who reads it!   

 

Now, let me get the points right. You played at Bovada Casino, made a withdrawal, and the casino paid you with a paper cheque/check. You then opened a new bank account to bank in this cheque, correct? You have not made any deposit into this new bank account, just that cheque alone, if I got your meaning correct.

 

Now, it has been over 17 business days since you banked in that cheque but it hasn't been cleared by the bank as yet, correct? 

 

If all the above is correct, then the delay is purely due on your bank side. Have you asked the bank why the delays and why it hasn't been cleared yet? That cheque from Bovada may have been rejected by the bank, but the bank has not informed you as yet, which is typical of all banks, if I must admit, until much later.

 

I have had rejected cheques banked into my bank before, and I only received a notification from my bank about 1 month later! When that money wasn't credited into my bank account, I informed the sender, and got a new cheque banked in. Problem solved! 

 

So...maybe you should do the same now, if you haven't already done so. Ask your bank if the cheque was rejected, and also ask if that cheque was acceptable or not in the first place, because some banks do not accept certain kinds of cheques. If it was rejected, then inform Bovada about it and get a new cheque, or payment via an alternative method.

 

There have been several similar issues posted here before in Askgamblers about banking in cheques from Bovada Casino. The banks wouldn't accept the cheques.

 

Hope this helps!

I can't believe that casino's issue cheques. Mental.
