Check casinos
Checks are written orders to instruct your bank to transfer money
from your checking account to the checking account of the check-holder.
Most casinos will accept checks to fund your casino account. However,
please note that some casinos will not accept personal checks.
Checks are often used by casinos to send you winnings that
exceed your initial deposit. Depending on the casino you may have
a choice between various shipment methods. Below you will find a short
discussion of the various types of checks and shipping methods that
are available.
Check casinos
The following casinos accept checks, either as a deposit or
withdrawal method or both. For each casino we list in the second and
third column if they support checks as deposit or a withdrawal method.
We also provide you with a link to our full review of the casino.
Below a couple of generally known checks and shipping methods
are described. More detailed information about checks and shipping
methods is often available at the casinos mentioned above.
Types of checks
There are many types of checks available today. We will discuss the
most relevant types of checks below. Depending on the bank and whether
your are or are not a customer, you will be charged a fee, both to
issue and to cash in a check.
Personal or Company check
This is the most common type of check. A personal or
company check is issued against a personal or company
checking account. Because it is not certified by the bank, the
risk of 'bouncing' is higher than that associated with a certified
check. |

Certified check
A certified check is considered less risky than a personal
check, because the bank has certified that the funds are available
to the payee. The bank will check your signature, and determine
if there are sufficient funds in your checking account to pay
the check. Furthermore, the bank will sign the check and certify
it by marking, stamping or perforating it, in order to minimize
potential fraud. By certifying the check, the bank guarantees
payment and becomes liable for the amount certified. |
Cashier check
You don't have to have a checking account to write a cashier
check. In fact a cashier check is drawn by a bank against
itself, provided you pay the bank the amount to be transferred
plus a fee. A cashier check is safer than a personal
check and less expensive than a certified check. |

Shipping methods
Regular Mail
Checks send by regular mail are free of charges, but can take
up to 4 weeks to be processed and delivered, subject to your
location and country. Furthermore, you run the risk the check
is 'lost' in the mail. |
|
Express Mail
International express mail services are offered by shipping
companies like FedEx, UPS and DHL. You will be charged a fee,
depending on how fast you want the check to be delivered. In
general a check may take approximately 2 to 7 working days by
courier service. |
