cashing checks from Party Poker
First, Party Poker is impressing me more and more. Most recently, I ordered a check last Friday and received it today, Tuesday, 2 business days later.
The check is from M&T Bank in Wilmington Delaware. Has anyone cashed their Party checks at that bank? Can I do that without having an account there? I have tried calling "Advanced Marketing Solutions" and the bank but have not got through.

Re: cashing checks from Party Poker
You can cash a check at any bank you are a member of. Most out of state checks take 10 days to clear and therefore, depending on your bank you might only be allowed to deposit, you should call your own bank for more information.

Re: cashing checks from Party Poker
OK, sorry, i wasn't clear and jumped a step or two ahead. Cashing it at their bank is just that, CASH, and not subject to deposit review at your own bank.
Of course I declare all cash profits for income tax purposes but there are often other reasons I may have to not have checks go through my bank accounts. The legal questions of internet poker and how it may affect my career choices is one reason and there may be a few more.

Re: cashing checks from Party Poker
As far as I know, all banks will cash a check that is from an account at itself. You dont need an account to cash it but you will need ID.
And cashing a check at the institution it is drawn on will still be recorded. Its a law. Cashing it wont "protect" you from the "legality" of poker. But then again, poker isnt illegal so just cash it at your bank.

Re: cashing checks from Party Poker
How can the US govt say its illegal. If I am not mistaken, its a state issue.
Does this fall under the communication act that prevents you from phoning in bets to sports books in vegas?

Most legal experts however do not believe somebody could actually be succesfully under that law.
