Anyone ever have trouble depositing a check into their bank? I cashed out 5k from my Betus account, got the check and when I went to deposit it the bank literally gives me the 3rd degree about what the check was from, where did I get it, how did I get it etc. They just stopped short of calling it a fraudulent check even though it looks fine to me. Anyway I'm a bit worried now. Betus has been fine so far to me but..has anyone ever had a check from them turn out to be invalid?:shrug:

I never used Betus but I have never had a problem with a foreign check.
One time I had a bank say the funds were in Canadian but I pointed it out on the check that clearly says US funds. It took 5 days the first time and after that I had it available the next day.

have not had any complaints come thru My or Jack's end.
also agree w/ the judge's comment..
yes, i had problems with vipsports giving me a check for 5K...bank confiscated the check and said it was counterfeit, only reason they didn't call cops was because they knew i wouldnt intentionally try and deposit a fraudulent check....to this day, vip still owes me $5K, but i'll never see that money....i hope the mf'ers with vip rot in hell

I had a check that took over 2 weeks to clear one time from SportsInteraction. I think that was back in about 1997.
That sucks
That sucks
What bank did this to you? Anybody else had issues like this? How do you guys normally accept payouts ?

I've never had any problems with Bodog checks, other than the confused look on the 90 year old bank teller when I hand her the check. Apparently they aren't familiar with those types of checks. However, none of my checks were that large. Biggest was maybe $300.00
I also agree with this.
Tell the bank, if asked, that it's a business check, and after that if asked any more questions, tell them that you don't want to discuss your private business - that the information is confidential and that you'd like to know how long it will take the check to clear.
If they hassle you, or state an unreasonable amount of time for the check to clear, ask for the check back and walk - speak to whoever's in charge and state that you're going to find a bank which appreciates your business - and then do so.
They are out of line grilling you about your depositing a check.
In some cases they just want to find out that it isn't a check from Olejawanda Obejon, the former finance minister of Uganda, or some other scam check.
If you let them know that it's a business check, a reasonable bank should be satisfied.
