If your gambling site doesn't have this feature, it's time to find one that does. If your site does have this feature, you should use it frequently-like every time you place a bet. If the site offers delivery by a courier such as Fed-Ex, it shouldn't take more than a few days to receive your money. If the site says it will mail you your check, it may take a few weeks, but anything more than, say, three weeks, is too long. Also, make sure you fully understand the site's policy on payouts before you start gambling.
Some sites require a lot of personal informationsometimes too much information.
Most sites charge for Fed-Ex delivery and that's to be expected, but others charge just to withdraw money, so you need to find out the deal in that regard as well. While this point may seem blatantly obviously, it's still important, and it's not pointed out often. Copyright 1999, The Player's Advocate. All rights reserved.
