Even since Neteller shut it's doors, my main method for transferring money out of online poker accounts is epassporte. I have their Visa ATM card and can withdraw money at an ATM as soon as it hits my account or a transfer will usually hit my checking account in 2-3 business days after the withdrawal.

Epassporte does not accept payments to/from Bodog because they offer sports betting and epassporte will only deal with transactions from poker only sites. So, when I decided to cash out some $$ from Bodog, I wasn't sure the best/quickest way to get the money. It looked like my best option was to request a check.

The request a check form says to "allow 15 to 20 business days" to receive your check. It seemed a little long, but I wasn't too worried about it.

Well, yesterday I received my check in the mail - 4 business days after requesting it. I thought that was extremely quick, especially since it came via regular mail. I had read on some of the forums that people have had trouble/questions when trying to cash these checks. My check was from a US based finance company and looks like any of the thousands of checks that a teller would see on a daily basis. No problem cashing it.

I was pleasantly surprised with the cashout process.

  1. I cashed out the same way and received my funds within a week. Although when depositing the check my bank placed a hold on it due to insufficient funds. I'm hoping this is just an innocent mistake. I'm waiting till the hold is removed.

  2. That's how I cash out of Full Tilt as well (as opposed to dealing with fees and whatnot with ePassporte), and I think the longest I've ever had to wait for a check was 8 business days. I swear, I always hear horror stories about requesting checks from poker sites, but I've never had anything but positive results.

  4. Have also been pleasantly surprised by quick turnarounds getting checks from Bodog. Let's hope it continues.

  6. I tried to cash out of Bodog as a test and received an email stating they needed a form to verify my credit card info before they would do anything.
