Details on 888 Wire Transfer?

[stillshadow]

Shortly after the Neteller garbage I switched my 888 payment method to bank wire. Does anyone know when these will be going through and/or if they will be accepted at all by US banks?

Not sure on when they go out.
Most people are getting wires from other gambling sites with no problems but for whats its worth if you use a large bank:

My bank declined a wire transfer from Mansion and also gave me back my Bodog check. Basically they have my account on a watch list so they monitor all my transactions now. They compiled a list of clients who did a high volume with Neteller.
I opened a new bank account at a smaller bank and have not had any problems.
When wires bounce it can be quite a pain trying to work with both sides to track the money back. The first time this happens it will take much more time to straightened out then it does to open an account at a smaller bank.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had any issues so far with checks or outgoing transactions so I hope that incoming wire transfers shouldn't be a problem, either. The bizarre thing that I understand with Mansion is that US players can request wire transfers for withdrawals, but affiliates cannot request the same thing? Why don't they just dump your affiliate earnings into your player account? Perhaps I'll go ask my AM about that right now. Was your Mansion wire transfer for your player account?

you can transfer your earnings from your aff account to your player account then request the wire

Mansion was for my player account. Not sure it matters but it was mid 4 figures. That bank has it out for me though.

Just as an update, I received my 888 wire today without issue.

would i be possible for PAW to create a "Banking Issues" thread as a sticky and have people report declined checks and wires?
