US Players and withdrawal by check

Since many online payment processors have decided to pull out of the US market, many players are wondering if it's still safe to make a withdrawal via a check from online gaming establishments.

Most casinos use funds drawn on US banks and the funds can usually be verified. With the billions of paper checks going through the system, it's almost impossible to verify each and every check that goes through to see if it's coming from an online gaming establishment. Most checks won't even list the casino on the check or may have Proc-Cyber or one of the other processing services on them.

For now, it's pretty safe to say that the checks won't be held up at the bank but we won't know if there will be a system put in place in the near future. Several gaming sites have also been using the ACH (Automated Clearing System) process to send funds to players and that is still working as well for now. Since Click2Pay isn't accepting anymore new signups for US players, and credit cards are pretty much blocked, many US players are also looking to prepaid debit cards, which seem to be working and then withdraw ling via ACH or check.

There may be a way to verify the funds of your check once you receive it from the gaming site by calling the bank listed on it. The ethical gaming sites do not wish for you to have problems cashing their checks, as this would halt their business and tarnish their image. For now, trust that the check is good and until further notice, don't give up your right to play online.
