cheque from a betting site

[Deleted User]

Hi,

I'm surprised he was able to place a bet, ok, it was a free one, without first registering with a valid bank account.

You can deposit on certain bingo sites using a UKASH voucher (http://www.ukash.com/uk/en/home.aspx) you purchase one from the local shop and the winnings will be paid out to you as a cheque. You don't need a bank account to play games.

why would you put a bet on when if you win, you have no way of taking winnings?
if he was that bothered, he would open an account, cash the cheque at those special shops, or visit their offices and pick up cash.
i too, smell fraud...

yeah thats me mr fraud........

He has verified his account with them so its abviously not fraud.

All i was asking is, if he is with me,
1) can we go into my bank to pay the cheque in (not really fraud when he is with me)
2) Can he cash it in at a cheque place if he only has a out of date passport and proofs of address (would be very hard for me to fraud him as i dont look anything like him)
3) Can i do a bank transfer from the betting site with him into my account? (some guy mentioned above i could maybe do this) using just my sort code and account number.

I am asking genuine questions, i dont have access to his account as i am with him when he has shown me.

I dont understand it when people come on here asking questions like this.

the answer is simple: go to any high street bank or building society and open a basic bank account or a savings account.

how on earth a grown adult gets by or makes anything of their life without a bank account is beyond me
