Checks from Bookmaker, wow sort of...

GoBlue34 · Jul 1, 2008

I've never requested a payout from Bookmaker before but had a nice run recenlty and cashed out $5,000. I chose an E-check thinking this was the $50.00 fee type where you get it via Fed-Ex within 7-10 days and had to sign for it.

Well I got my check in 3 days (fast turn around time) but it was just a standard check with a .42 cent stamp on it? $5,000 check and they just send it regular mail? It even looks like a check one of those where you have to open it a certain way.

It was a free fast withdrawl which I'm happy about but still a little surprised at the shipping method.

what bank? US check? I thought E-check was an on line option you sould more like a cashiers check.

I didn't even look at what the bank was and deposited it today. Unless I chose the check option but the site says that takes 30 days.

Ah well, I'm happy I got it so quickly.

It says up to 30 days, ive gotten checks in 2.

e-check is an electronic transfer of funds directly into your bank account from the book. You chose a cashier's/regular check.

3 days is quite good. No reason a check has to sent Fed-ex. Regular mail worked fine with Neteller.

YOU DIDNT NOTICE THE BANK IT WAS ON. You must do many large transations every day. Was it a US bank? Ive been doing WU and MG withdrawals, Im afraid I will get a check on Bank of Brazil. Take 1 year to clear.

It was a US bank, sent from a US address but no I didn't look.
