Bookmaker Payouts...or any offshore payout...

[Three Jack]

Thanks to many people on this site, I have made a killing in the tourney and want to withdraw funds from Bookmaker. I just spent 10 minutes on the phone with them understanding how it gets done as well as the fees involved. I also know from reading a couple of of threads on this topic that the max I should ask for is under $10K...but a couple of questions for the board-

1. The ONLY way to withdraw more than $5K from Bookmaker is via bank wire...no paper checks. Is this going to send up a red flag with anyone that I am having $8500 wired to my bank account and, potentially, more than once?

1. I find it compeltely ridiculous tha Bookmaker doesn't allow withdraws between $3K - $5K. I asked the customer service person at what point do they stop offering paper checks and she said $3K. She then said they offer ONLY bank wire transfers above $5K...and nothing in between. Has anyone else come across this?

I know this subject has been neaten to death but the first question is the one that I was hoping to get answered. Thanks guys!

You could do withdrawls of $3K in paper checks every few weeks.

Thanks Weazel...that is what I am leaning towards....but could use a large chunk now to payoff a couple of bills. I think that is what I may do if a wire transfer will raise a red flag....
