Understand Your eCheck Deposit
When you deposit instantly by check, you are requesting an electronic transfer from your US or Canadian bank account. Please be aware that such requests, by Internet or by telephone, will constitute your authorization for such transfers.
The description on your bank statement for the transaction will read "Citadel"
To avoid penalties resulting from insufficient funds, ensure that funds remain available in your Bank Account to cover any bank transfer deposits you have made.
Please understand that if any Instant eCheck Deposit transactions you initiate from your bank account result in Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), your bank will levy heavy NSF fees for each NSF transaction - such NSF transfers will be re-billed to your bank account resulting in multiple NSF fees if the transaction is subsequently returned.
To ensure collection of funds, your banking information may be forwarded to your bank, or to a designated collection agency.
All delinquent accounts will be reported to the Credit Bureau. If for any reason your Instant eCheck Deposit is un-collectable, all activity funded by the purchase may be cancelled, voided or reversed at the sole discretion of the company.
Understand Your eCheck Withdrawal
Payout requests cannot be processed until funds are received for all deposits made into your account (7 business days after a deposit is made).
If you fund using an eCheck Deposit you will not be eligible for withdrawals until 7 business days after the original deposit - We need to first clear the deposit transaction before withdrawals are able to be processed.
You will be required to credit any winnings back through our Citadel Commerce payment method (eCheck Deposit) into your checking account, up to the amount originally deposited via your checking account. Once the original deposit amount has been refunded the other withdraw options will then become available to you.
