Anyone ever accepted a check via FedEx from an offshore?

With the recent crackdown do I need to worry about a check clearing my bank from Jamaica-mon or Costa Rica?

Is anyone else worried about cashing a check from an offshore, or does the check come from the book's bank account in another country like Brittain?

Thanks in advance.

Gambling offshore is NOT illegal. Cashing a check from offshore is no prob. You will be fine.

Cashed many of them.Most came from a Canada postmark.Some had US postmarks.The checks were both Canadian banks and US banks.

havent done it in years, or since neteller, but same story and that is most were drawn off of us banks, and had no problems

the checks will not say "congratulations on your big hit at bodog"

when i first got away from the local hassel it was western union in at the minimum to cover the fees and fed ex out

i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread

the trip the store will keep you from playing wreckless and almost force you to use good money management cause you wont pull out till you have something to line your pocket as well as leaving enough offshore to keep firing

thegreek was it back then and i'm sticking with the old reliable, cause if he folds you know it's over

just dont go deposting over 9k at a time

I cashed many years ago in amounts from $2,000 to $5,000 and never a problem and most were drawn on US banks.

I actually prefer this method, all this stuff seems like play money if you never hold it in your hands

Have done it several times in the past, but now I'm awaiting my first withdrawal check since the latest problems. Doubt things will change and don't expect check-cashing problems, but it will interesting to find out if banks will start treating them differently, too.

I got a check from Bodog before by mail and it did not say bodog on it, It was from a bank. I think it said midalothen on it. I do not know if other books do the same. The best thing would be to E-mail support at the book you use and then ask them.
