bookmaker withdrawl issue

I requested a paper check withdrawl from bookmaker and it was sent quickly with no issue. However i deposit it and expect it to clear by the next business day. The next day i call my bank and they tell me it will take a week atleast to clear. I asked bookmaker reps and they say its normal and nothing to worry about. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a 7 day hold like this? And is it anything to stress over?

thats normal   nothing to worry about

Thanks for the reply and i hope youre right. I never doubt bookmaker and appreciate their business.. just checking to see if others have experienced this

Normal,  thank god that you don't have my bank because they held mine for 10 business days, which means weekends and holidays don't count.  It's par for the course,   everybody just being on the safe side but it is very irritating.  But just business as usual.
