Will NY Banks accept checks from offshore betting sites (Heritage and 5Dimes)?

Hardknocker · Feb 2, 2016

I live in New York and I'm looking to sign up either at 5Dimes (http://www.5dimes.eu) or Heritage (http://www.heritagesports.eu). I am leaning towards Heritage. My questions are.. If a receive from a check from withdrawing and I go to the bank, will they accept the check being outside of the US? I mean I don't want to draw attention just in case or have them having me questions about it.. If they do what is the right thing to say? I wanted to ask more towards the people who live and play in NY about this but anyone reply would be great. Also, the name of the bank I use is Northfield Bank (https://www.enorthfield.com). Not sure if anyone knows if they will accept or use them currently.

My next question, living in NY, if I deposit through my Vis'a credit card at Heritage/5Dimes will it go through or will Vis'a not allow me to charge?

Would love to hear all your input and thoughts. Thanks.

Banks will take a check from anyone as long as it clears. They don't care or research who or where it is from.

Is Heritage known for clearing their checks? And a few other questions I have ---

What are the best ways to deposit and withdraw from there? I heard they might ban people if they use a credit card? Is that true? I am thinking on using a wire.

Also, when it's time to withdraw will a US bank cash a check from an offshore check? If so, will they ask any questions about it? I really don't want to draw any attention. The bank I use is Northfield Bank (https://www.enorthfield.com) Does anyone know if they accept checks outside the US or used them before for that?

Any other withdrawal and deposit info. for Heritage and 5Dimes (moreso Heritage) you guys can offer on what to do or not to do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's been about 5-6 years since I received a few checks from 5dimes. Had no problem cashing at Bank of America. The check could be from ISIS and you should be fine. The bank only reads the routing and account numbers and probably processes so many checks a day...

If you're that paranoid try finding a local. You're pretty optimistic but I'd worry about winning first before cashing out.

Depends on the amount. They will ask some questions if a larger amount

If they ask, how would you answer/ what would you say? Sorry, this is a first time for me so I just want to be prepared if ANYTHING happens.

DUDE! They're not going to ask! Keep all checks under $9999

Find a local. Shouldn't be hard in New York.

I always deposit with moneygram or western union and get check on cash out. Got check from 5D a few weeks ago out of a Canadian bank and it cleared np. Of note, I requested another check this past Monday and still haven't heard nothing from FedEx...I usually put in cashout on Monday and check on my door on Wednesday...everytime in yhe past. This time they did say 7-10 days to process...which seemed a bit unusual but maybe it has just chaged.

I also use Heritage for short time, no cashouts yet. The 5D reduced juice is much better than Heritage, although heritage ok on sides and totals for game..no reduced halves or ML that I've seen so far.

I've had similar experiences with my check requests from 5D and made another request at about the same time as you. Previous checks had always reached me three days after the request, preceded by email from FedEx confirming delivery date. Haven't heard anything this time. 5D notice when sending check has always said within 7 to 11 days, and their response when I asked about the status if this request was to say I had been "lucky" on previous checks. I hope that's the case, but I am a little concerned. At the time of this request they also started pushing payout by debit card, which makes me wonder if they're having a customs clearance problem with checks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Got a message from 5D today apologizing for the delay in delivery of the check but stating that the payout should still be completed by the end of the week. I asked if they could tell me the cause of the delay and they said only that it's a delay on the part of their check processor. Customs clearance is still my guess, but since they said it should still be completed by the end of the week I'm going to wait those few days.
