Well, I Received a check for $2,900.00 and went yesterday to a check cashing place and they would not cash it because they had to call to verify my check, Now I'm not sure what these casinos do inorder to send these checks to winners, But if i go back today and they call the company on the check, everything should be okay right?

Anyone have any suggestions or any input would be great!
Or has anyone ever had this same situation before?

Thank you.

Sorry hon, I have only had one check sent to me from a casino and that was years ago. I do remember then that they had to call and verify the check and all was fine.

Well, This is bullshit!

I just went to 3 separate check cashing agents and they told me the following, Once they got off the phone.

I'm sorry but although this check has your name on it, When verified by the company the check was made out to another person and for another dollar amount of $2,000.00.

I also went to the bank, And they told me the same thing!!
What the hell is going on!?

I'm seriously fuming.

Can´t you talk to the casino and ask them to wire the money to your bank instead?

Never recieved a check so don´t know what you can do..

I never heard such of a thing! Calm down what you need to do is call the casino and tell them what has happened. Why are you not getting this wired to your wired plastic or netspend so you can take it out as cash? NO bank or check cashing place is going to cash that check trust me! The amount is a flag, the fact that the check is from another country is a flag, there are too many flags trust me

I was told by netspend that the only way, I could get money xferd to my card was by payroll and no other sources.

So, I'm not sure.

I know for sure you can have it sent to wired plastic. Here in the US they are funny about the checks. A while ago I received a check for 1000.00 from slotland. I took it to a check cashing place and they told me it was a bad check. It was drawn on a canadian bank. I knew there was nothing wrong with the check. I finally took it to bofa and they deposited it into my account no problem. If I hadn't been so confident that slotland would not issue a bad check I would really have been freaking out. I know it costs us to get our money but the best way to go is QT to WP.

Good luck!

I've cashed checks up to 2 grand at the check cashing place, they rang and I had no problem!

Badsmoker- I'd be pissed too! Even when they get it straight- you'll have to wait longer for funds!! We're gamblers we don't like to wait!!

gl gl gl to all

It isn't the casinos fault they pay a ton in processing fees trust me this as a fact. It is hard to get funds to the US for that thank your gov!

If you have a QT account you can wire money from there to a WP account.. it's really easy

I have only gotten a check once from Golden Tiger and it was drawn on a BOA bank in the USA

Called Intertops finally, They said that there was nothing wrong with the check and to try a different bank.

I'm kinda scared to walk into another bank and ask them if they can cash this check. It's from canada and I'm not sure if i would have to be a member at the bank or not in order to cash it.

Any ideas?

They said if it does not work this time then to make a copy of the check and e-mail it to them, But they cannot do anything until monday! Sigh... SO GOD DAMN COMPLICATED.

Then they say i made my deposit with quicktender, which i did but they said that they should have never sent me a check in the beginning because i used quicktender lol, I'm lost.

I guess I'll go walk myself to a bank tomorrow and see what happens, I really don't feel like getting arrested if it's possible.

Thanks for any input.

Sorry that you are having so many problems with this bAdSmoker and that I can't help you, here in Aus we just take an international check to our bank and deposit it and pay for international fees. It is obviously quite different in the US.

geeze, didn't think receiving a check would be so complicated from the casinos. I may have to rethink playing at Go Wild Casino in case i win, because i do not or am not allowed to use the options they have for withdrawal.

The stupidest thing that pisses me off about Go Wild, my only complaint, Is They do not have quicktender for an option for the USA players that have existing accounts.


(I know this has nothing to do with Go Wild)

My husband once received a check from a poker room one time, for like $500, i think he tried to cash it at Wal-mart, but it would not go through, so i ended up depositing his check through my bank's atm with the check depositing method.

He signed , i signed it, and then deposited it. They always hold anything over $300 until the check clears, but we get it cashed that way.

(He is not on my bank account)


Sorry to hear your troubles and hope you can figure it out.

I was gonna suggest trying wal mart, but they only cash checks up to $1500 unless its fromt he gov like the IRS.


So good luck hun.
