Fellas- I've been threatening to start playing online for a couple of years now, and I think I'm about ready to make a deposit with Poker Stars.

I bank with Wells Fargo. When I cash out and request a check from Stars will I have a problem depositing it into my account?

I think I read somewhere that the cashout checks from these big sites (Stars, FT, etc) are from US banks. Is this true?

Thanks in advance....sorry for the ignorant questions.

You will not have a problem I bank at Wachovia (now Wells Fargo) as well, and I've deposited checks AND used direct transfers. Both fast and convenient.

NP. I always took wire transfers from Stars, but I was curious so I requested a check, and I got it in less than seven days.

Do you have an account on any site yet? If you're signing up a new account on FT, you can get rakeback, which they deposit directly into your account every week. Stars doesn't offer rakeback at all. I was already a FT player, so I had to send a bunch of emails and be a pain in the ass, but I eventually got it hooked up. They use RakeBackPros.

Even if you play small or infrequently, it is definitely worth it.

A WHILE AGO THEY PASSED THE LAW MAKING IT ILLEGAL FOR U.S. BANKS TO ACCEPT PAYMENTS FROM GAMBLING SITES, MEANING IF YOU HAVE A CHECK THEY WONT DEPOSIT IT FOR YOU. THE PPA GOT IT DELAYED FOR 6 MONTHS BUT THE 6 MONTH ENDS EITHER THIS MONTH OR NEXT. IM WAITING TILL I HEAR WHATS UP WITH THAT BEFORE I DEPOSIT MONEY WITH THEM., I DONT WANT TO GET FUCKED WHERE I WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO COLLECT IF I WERE TO WIN.

I just got a wire transfer last Friday. I used the money to buy a keyboard that has lower-case letters.
