Full Tilt check withdrawal |

I had to send my driver's license and a bill into Full Tilt to get approved for check issuance. After about 2 days, I made a withdrawal. The check was requested on a Wednesday and was received the following Friday (9 days). It was drawn on Wells Fargo, so I am confident that it will clear my bank OK.

This is a very interesting post for a couple of reasons. Number One is the fact that you received the check--always a positive indicator.
Number Two is the requirement for the DL and bill copy. I can't help wondering what that is about. I assume that the check came to your address of record with Full Tilt.
Number Three is the fact that the check came through Wells Fargo!!! I mean, this is a relatively major US bank and just screams out, "How can they do this?" US banks can't process payments to online poker sites so how do they get money to pay from an online site? Was it an ordinary check or did it seem to be a cashier's check or money order?
Very, very interesting. Congrats on having enough to cash out--or was this precautionary?

I have never been comfortable leaving much in an online acct-so I make frequent transactions.
I had to send in a DL and proof of address when getting a check from Pacific many moons ago. I think that is standard.
It was drawn on a different acct name (NOT full tilt) with a PO box as their address. I am sure it is a shell where FT wires money in to cover withdrawals and the shell company cuts the checks.
What shocks me more is that deposits can be made using ATM/Visa cards drawn on US banks. That is clearly illegal (for the bank accepting).

The poker companies are clearly just skirting the issue by illegally changing their merchant codes so banks accept the transactions. Like the flowers you bought right Dave?
