First of all, I use bodog and have never won any money. I am curious though, at what point has anyone run into any legal trouble sports betting? For example, has anyone ever ran into any legal trouble after trying to deposit a bodog check at a bank or anything? Any info is appreciated. I am nervous as hell.

I would never trust a check.. withdraw using western union and receive cash.

I don't think bodog gives you that option. Do they?

Why would you never trust a check?

I with lakers on this one; there's no way I'd ever trust a check from a book. I've made a considerable amount of money this year and have been withdrawing slowly via Western Union and then cashing them at local store. You get cash and don't have to worry about the check bouncing and dealing with the bank hassle.

I always recommend my friends do the same thing when they win.

So what will you do when WU catches on and you can't recive money through them ?

Give CS a call, they will be happy to walk you through the available payment methods and answer any question that you may have.

I hate the hassle of Western Union and Moneygram. I almost always take a payout via check and I've never had a problem. There's no reason to be nervous about depositing a check from a legitimate bank into your bank.

Too bad Bodog doesn't use one!
