So, about 2 months ago I tried to make a deposit onto an online poker/sportsbook site for twenty bucks. I was a but tipsy, and messed up on my decimal point and deposited 200. After a week or so of messing around, I still had 258 in the account so I said for once Ill be smart and cash out. I got the check a few weeks later and promptly sent it in the mail (endorsed with name and acct number) to my credit union. Weeks later, nothing recvd. So I called back the company (emailed actually) for a stop payment only to find out it had been cashed by someone at TD Bank-----obnviously not my credit union. Callled TD Bank, very helpful but cant find it as all I have my my name---no info on the check or company that made it out as Im sure its an offshore account.
Here is where the f*cking fun starts. 3 phone calls, 19 emails, and 2 weeks later-----still no help from the website. They do not have a copy of the check, cannot provide me the routing or acct number and continue to tell me that my signature matched the one they have on file so pershaps someone cashed it for me at TD Bank. I have told them nicely (and by calling them Indian f*cktards) that the signature is mine, but I did not authroize the transaction and I do not want their money---just the info to initiate a fraud investigation with TD Bank...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..........nothing. I am a$$ raped for 258 bucks of my own money while someone who stole my check is laughing their d!ck off. Thank you for nothing Bovada and how my neurotic and one track mind is supposed to just let this go and move on I will never know. Mother F.

Otherwise, it's the bank that screwed up, assuming someone didn't intercept the check in the mail - I've had friends who sent money and money orders in the mail and they never reached their destination; some postal worker might've grabbed it. You gotta call the bank; the money should be in your account, and if its in someone elses, they're committing a crime
Either way, no doubt your check was intercepted/stolen/etc but not sure how they'd track it with TD Bank. Maybe somehow match your signature in their database??? No clue....that's some CSI stuff right there.
But what about your credit union account info? Was it compromised? If you mailed it in for deposit at did you have any personal info (like a deposit slip) in the envelope?
IF so, watch out ---- a thief could do real damage with that, lots more than $250...

I think as of right now only Delaware, Jersey and Nevada have state laws allowing online gambling. I'm not sure where you live, what you were playing or what country the online site is based out of but there are all kinds of state and federal laws that range from prohibiting individuals from gambling to making it illegal for the actual sites to receive US banking instruments for gambling so I would research on what laws apply to you.
