Who plays pokerstars and cashes out using regular checks? For U.S. players?

Question

I'm just wondering who uses the cash out option of receiving checks via mail for their money won on pokerstars. and If banks do accept checks from pokerstars, does that apply to all banks and credit unions?

Answer 1

PokerStars checks come about a week after you request them.  They are probably about the fastest among all gambling sites at processing and sending out payments.  Your check isn't from PokerStars...it's from their bank with no indication that it is from a gambling sites, and all banks that accept checks will accept these.

Answer 2

I recieve checks in the mail from Pokerstars, and I know Bank of America takes them. And im sure if they take them anyone will because you can't use anything of theirs to deposit money. The checks don't say from Poker on them. You can't even tell.

Answer 3

the regulations only apply to payments, not deposits.
