joined betfirstclass few weeks ago....based on all the good things i saw here at madjacks.

hit a nice round robin and requested withdrawal.

cust. service was great and withdrawal was no-problem....sent me a fed-ex check and got it few days later.

deposited check and was told 4-day hold at bank.

did my banking today and they told me my
check wasnt good yet. told me to talk with manager. she called fraud department and they tell her since the check is international there will be a 45-day hold on check.
they wanted alot of questions answered about where check came from etc. i told them it was an real estate investment company that ive dealt with for along time and basically i was gettting my own money back that i had invested.

well they told me if i can get a phone number and contact person at the bank that the check is from they could process it faster.

called betfirstclass and was told i would need to talk to a manager who wasnt there. they took my phone number and told me the manager would call me. ...called later and talked to manager he said he has never heard of such a thing ....that they send checks out everyday with no problems like this.....told me if i cant clear it up they could figure something out...send me another check.

ive deposited many checks from betjamaica with no=problems at all...usually 2-days and its in my account...

One thing i noticed that was different with betfirstclass check is that it was handwritten versus betjamaica is computer generated typed out check.....didnt look to close but the bet jam check i think is drawn from us bank....while betfirstclass was from costa rica bank....


has anyone else had problems like this ?
if so how did u handle?

bank im using is pnc largest in this area.


not bad mouthing betfirstclass....so far they have been pretty good... as advertised here...hopefully i can fix on monday....
would appreciate any suggestions

thanks burgh.

PNC are motherfuckers!! I w'd from a site and they told me the same. I told them I have another bank and went to National City and it took 5 business days! PNC told me 4 to 6 weeks before I'd get my money. It was a check from Canada!!

Steel, I am sorry to hear about your problem at the bank. This is the first I have heard of your dilemma but we have had one other problem like this with Bank of America but no other problems that I have heard of and we send out checks daily.

Please shoot me an email at Judge@BetFirstClass.com and I will look into this for you right away.

u think its just a pnc problem lee?

i dont get why it went to the fraud deperment
unless because it was handwritten is all i can think?

im fuked now that ive deposited with them...like i said never have prob. with bet-jam checks...so wasnt expecting this.

like i said the the bank manager......45-days...i could fukin walk to the costa rica bank and cash it myself faster.....dont understand what takes so long?

thanks lee

A little off topic but do all banks in USA do this? It seems they take 200 days for a cheque to clear and ask you 700 questions. I have been a member of my bank here in Canada forever, and never in my life have I been asked one question, not one. Longest it has ever taken for a cheque to clear is 4 days. And I am talking about cheques from US banks, cheques from banks in the UK and even some from banks in Australia. The banks job is to make sure cheque is real, that's it. If there is a problem then ask me questions. But seems banks in USA grill ya as soon as you hand the teller the cheque. I mean fuck that shit.

Also never had a problem with a bank wire. They never ask, "who sent that"?, "where did it come from"? I mean it is none of their business where the money comes from, or why or whatever. If it isn't fraudulent that's all they should care about.


Guess you can see why I always cheer for the bank robber to get away once he steals the cash:SIB

Cant they just wire money into your bank account?


Every time my bank gets a international check they look at me like im fawkin crazy and then the check gets passed on to at least 5 different people at the bank seeing if the check is legit.

Steel, sorry I haven't responded!!

PNC sucks. Nat City took it and it was 5 business days.

I think it's just PNC bud!

update my check problem.....

it was a problem with my bank and no fault of betfirstclass.

the check looked suspicious to them so it went into the fraud department...anyway my bank manager did whatever she could for me and got the check thru in a few days.....it took 10-days from when i deposited it...much better than the 45 bussiness they told me initially.

the judge noticed my problem from my thread here at madjacks and i contacted him.
the last few days ive talked to the judge a few times and he was ready to do anything to get me paid.....he was very helpful and was very concerned about making me a happy customer.

nothing but high marks from me for the entire betfirstclass operation.....everyone i talked to was very helpful from cust. service to the manager. i def. reccommend them
they are a 1st class operation!

gluck all burgh..
