We have a banking issue here.
all due respect Dom, its a laziness issue.
there is NO way the banks can keep up with knowing that an account belongs to a casino if they keep opening new accounts under different names and paying that way.
Yes that is labor intensive. But it is possible and IS being done. I just received and cashed a check the other day for winnings.
the simple fact is that this is the cost of doing business nowdays.
Not so long ago when offshore sportsbooks first came onto the picture, you had to send and recieve money WU.
They had different names you sent the money to on a regular basis. I know this because I did it again and again and it always worked.
Then came the ability to use credit cards and eventually it went to ewallets.
Now I’m not argueing the fact this can be considered money laundering and all that. But the point is that this is a situation that should be on the player to decide whether they want to risk. The casino’s job is to get the money to the player. They are not responsible for the player’s situation after they get the money. We are after all talking about adults here who SHOULD have the right to make their own decisions on what they are and aren’t willing to risk.
right now, …. not one person has ever been prosecuted for recieving funds for a gambling win. (which I also point out would be very hard to prove if done correctly).
I agree Western Union should certainly be a viable option. I know they don´t “allow” gambling transactions but that shouldn´t be an obstacle.

The fact is, US banks have no idea the checks are coming from an online casino. I just cashed a number of checks from various programs. And U.S. poker players are being paid by check. Just read the threads over at the 2+2 poker site.
The casino’s payment processors are refusing to send checks to the US. That is where the problem is. This has nothing to do with U.S. banks not cashing checks.
Hi again all,
well Dom is not entirely incorrect just to set matters straight.
there have been issues (to what I’ve read) where checks have been refused or bounced due to the fact they came from online casinos.
Now that said: I revert to the point that its simply a matter of staying ahead of the game and that is the cost of doing business nowadays.
there is no way a bank can know a check came from a casino if it is done right! nuff said!

What happens is that a bank is chosen, the account opened and funded, checks issued (all of which takes time). By the time the check arrives, the issuing chosen bank has closed the account. The checks bounce.
