Pokerstars Question

Been playing on PokerStars for years and have always used the Echeck method of deposit and withdrawal. The last several weeks they have had problems with the Echeck processor, and the only options for withdrawal they are giving me is a wire transfer or a check by mail.

My questions is has anybody else ever received a check via the mail from them? Have you had any problems at your bank with them cashing it or anything else?

Would like to withdrawal a pretty decent sum of money, and am a little worried that it might raise some flags at the bank?

If its a big amount I would go with the wire. I have got many checks through them Via mail and never had any problems but they were not for super massive amounts.

How long does that normally take to receive?

I had done two with drawls from PS, for about 1K and $500, both done by transfer and in just a couple of days ( this was about 5-6 years ago so Im not sure how relevant it really is anymore)

I've done wire and check. Wire is obviously faster 1-3 days. Check usually takes 5-8 days. Both ways are fine. Never had a problem.
