just got a check by fed ex from bookmaker/betcris for 1,000. I bank with bank of america. I've heard some stories from posters who say their banks are putting hold on checks. I cant recall for what amounts or what banks. I bank with bank of america. Is it safe to try and deposit? or am i better of going to one of those check cashing palces that charge 1-2%. My apologies if this is a stupid question but this is the first time I've done a payout after all the offshore problems happened. Thanx all.
