Hello Triptanes,

Thank you for your email. As you may be aware the movement of checks has not always been ideal since the signing of the UIEGA. CakePoker employs a number of processors to help us move checks out to our players. While we have continued to deliver checks to our US resident players, checks in excess of $2500 US$ have been handled by a specific group of processors that has proven to be less effective over time. In an effort to compensate we are introducing a few new processors this week that we expect to bring check processing and delivery times down significantly. With these new processors we are required to formally confirm the identification of the individual before a check can be dispatched. As a result you will be required to provide picture identification in the form of a driver’s license or a passport. Although you may have provided this or similar ID is past we do not keep these documents on file so unfortunately you will have to forward it along again to our support team. Once you have provided this identification you will not be required to provide it again on subsequent check requests.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.



Kind Regards,

Cake Poker Support

I assumed they probably process the echecks for stars, and so the bank deals with them. I have nothing at all to back that up, but it made sense when I thought of it.

On my banks end it appeared as "TIGRASUPPORT EFT".

Whatever it is, they don't appear to be dealing with the site directly.
