You may have become aware recently that some of the online casinos are now accepting virtual checks.
Virtual checks, otherwise known as echecks, are like writing a check out of your checking account but when you do it on line you write in all the necessary information the bank would need to cash your promissory note.
Simply enter the routing number, your bank account number, the name of your bank and if you’d prefer (and I would recommend) add your check number and then tear up the check.
If you always add your check number and tear it up then you’ll never have to wonder about things later when doing books because the number will be assigned – the problem with not using a check number is that if someone were to charge you for a deposit you never made you would never have to question yourself about whether you made that deposit or not, that is, assuming you do write your checking down.
Bottom line: assign a check number and tear up that check.
