Today, I inquired about check cashing at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs (my frequently visited local casino which offers horrid video poker).
I was told that no matter what amount I have in my checking account, I can only withdraw an amount based on my credit score…and then there are limitations about how much I can withdraw per withdrawal in a certain time period.
The ATMs, I was told, have a $4 fee and limit withdrawals to $500.
Gift cards, too, that I might use to ‘transfer money’ purchased using credit cards, have limitations including a 24 hour delay for use and a $300 – if I recall correctly – limit per month.
What experiences have others had with casino check cashing, gift cards, and even ATMs? I would like to not carry around a large sum of money into a casino should I, for instance, decide to play 1/2 NL hold em with a $6000 bankroll. It’s also inconvenient to have to visit my bank beforehand…
