I think the bigger question is why does America make it so difficult to get money from PokerStars:shrug:
I guess dunclock has a point....no use in getting a cheque if ya can't cash it.:nono:
To give ya an idea how different it is.......I was at the bank when my brother deposited the PokerStars cheque. The teller said "congrads on the win". I don't think that would happen at Wells Fargo:mj07:
Maybe the GSP route is the way to go:142smilie
it is not difficult to GET a check from them...the problem arises when you want to put it in your bank....for a while, the big banks were freezing your account and making balance of -$888,888.88 and then you were blacklisted from opening another account for 5 years...have not read up on it lately...I guess you could always take to a check cashing place and pay a fee:shrug:
