Are the checks from hong kong going to be ok with my bank?

they are payable through a US bank so shouldnt be a problem...my bank didnt even look at the check twice for a max cashout.

Fast forward, I want to cashout check by courier b/c the fees get ridiculous and Bovada allows 1 free cashout per month. Apparently not...if you deposit wu then you have to cashout wu and always pay ridiculous fees and have no option for check. The only way that you can cashout check by courier is if you deposited w/ a Visa card. 2 months ago they didn't (and still don't) accept my visa debit or 2 visa CC's (as I assume is the case w/ most U.S. citizens).

So then I ask, so if I go and get a prepaid visa card and make a deposit with that can I then cashout and get a check by courier? "No sir, you must generate all of you winnings by visa card in order to get check by courier. It is our company policy."

While I don't understand why you have to deposit w/ a visa card to get ur check by courier, I'll respect that and deposit to follow the guidelines. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND SAYS NOWHERE ON THE SITE THAT EVEN IF YOU DEPOSIT W/ A VISA DEBIT CARD YOU CANNOT CASHOUT CHECK BY COURIER UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR WINNINGS BY THAT OPTION?!??? ARE U KIDDING ME????

Now I'm talking to the manager and she goes on to tell me that I have to cash out all of my winnings....get a balance of ZERO, deposit with my prepaid visa debit card and build my roll back up again?!?!

This is certainly not correct, i would call CS and ask again. Afaik you can cash out using methods you have succesfully deposited with- I made one WU union depo, and was able to cash out as much as i wanted. If you are looking for a US visa card that works on merge and bovada get a netspend card its free... www.netspend.com

Has anyone else had trouble with the new cash out method on Lock. I attempted to cash out and got this message:

You cannot withdraw with an active casino bonus.
Your bonus balance is $xxx with a remaining playthrough of $xxxx. The bonus will clear once your playthrough or bonus balance reaches $0.

I do not play in the Casino. I have deposited through there as it was the only way to get money on lock at one point. Please let me know if anyone else has received this message. Thanks.

I contacted the Bovada Service Rep on here and within a couple hours a rep called me and said that I had to deposit w/ a visa card and I would have both options available (Check & Money Transfer). Exactly what I wanted so I'd contact the Rep on here and not call into the place b/c i was on the phone for over an hour yesterday and got nowhere.

yeah going to the bank tomorrow hopefully i wont have to wait a month for it to clear like kidpokerwi. ill let u know

wilmont:
not sure about lock. ps and tilt did though. but stars and tilt also had a double rebuy and auto add on feature so there is no telling.

yes to mc.

im not sure if you still have to. i know you used to. its not a big deal though transfer is instant.

support normally hits me back in like a half day or day. try live chat.

Yeah Lock Poker have really improved their time frame. My withdrawal was processed on the 26th of January and I received my check on the 2nd of February. I have another check on the way, that was requested on the 26th January and was processed on the 29th of January, So I should expect it next week. Big ups to Lock, I'm impressed.

As a bovada grinder who has crushed the mids and had several hi buyin scores in the last month I cant find a reason to stay here if lock can provide decent cashout time. The bovada fields will always be the softest in the online world but the software is pure trash. I just had a month on bovada where i bought into about 8k worth of mtts and made a little under 13k. Lock poker here i come.....

Just a fkkin shame that this is the only game in town..Is there any Carbon rep who is on this site to pm me and HELP me out??/

Just had a check bounce from carbon. 8 weeks for a bad check, not too shabby.

Im getting very fucking sick of this.....

bovada and lock both seem legit at the moment, tournament % cashes is consistent with my live cashes, which is a good sign, and they both improved on timely payouts thanks bovada and lock

sorry a lot of posts here. I currently have playersonly and carbon. I was wondering which of those is best for cash outs or if i should just sign up for a different site. I heard lock sounds good. basically im just asking which merge site has the best cashout times as ive been out of the loop. Thanks!
