Here’s how they answered a similar question I asked:

"Whenever feasible, all withdrawals will be sent back to the specific payment account used for the initial deposits. If you've topped up your account using various payment methods, we are obligated to distribute your withdrawal request proportionally across those same methods."

I've used my standard checking account debit card for deposits before, and there's even an option to withdraw funds directly to my bank (though I might be limited on how much I can pull out that way, but I usually only withdraw small amounts anyway)....the thing is, I'm a bit stuck on what to actually enter for the SWIFT and IBAN codes.

For the SWIFT code, you can find the details right here:

As for your IBAN, just log in to your online banking portal () and you should be able to locate your specific account number there... it's pretty straightforward once you're in.

Anthony Davis19 said:If you're looking for a SWIFT code, you'll usually find it right on your Bank of America statement or tucked away in your mobile banking app under account details. It’s basically the digital fingerprint used to identify the bank during international transfers. If you can't find it there, a quick call to their customer service line should clear it up.

Logging in to my online banking account...I was browsing through the latest updates on the Bank of America portal today, and honestly, it’s one of those things you don't realize how much you rely on until you're staring at a login screen. It’s pretty straightforward stuff—just the usual digital banking tools and service updates we all deal with. Nothing too flashy, just solid, functional tech to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. It’s easy to take this kind of seamless access for granted, but when it works, it just works.You'll find your account's routing and account numbers right there too.

Thanks to both of you. 🙏 🙏 🙏

I think I'll go ahead and do some reading now.

Where did this one-time passcode come from? When I was picking up my card, my phone actually died on me that day, so I couldn't get the mobile banking app set up. They gave me one of those hardware token readers, but I haven't used it before, and since I left it back home in Chicago, I won't be able to get to it for at least ten days.

Is there any chance this info is on some of the paperwork they handed me or sent via mail?

That one-time four-digit code is generated by the physical token you have in Chicago—or by an intelligent card from Bank of America if you happen to have one of those. It’s only valid for a few minutes once it's generated, and you need it to authorize your transactions. Honestly, without that token, you're pretty much stuck, especially since you'll likely need a PIN for the device itself too.

Where did this one-time passcode come from? When I picked up my card, I actually lost my phone that same day, so I couldn't set up mobile banking. Instead, they gave me one of those little card readers I’ve never even used before. It's sitting back home in Chicago right now, and I won't be able to get to it for at least ten days...

Is there any chance that info is on some of the paperwork they handed me or sent through the mail?

Personally, I always log into my online banking using that little gadget. I just slide my card in, type my PIN, and then it spits out a one-time password that I enter on the website, and that's it. You're logged into your account and you can see absolutely everything...

Now, I'm not entirely sure if the routing number is listed on the bank statement or not. I'd guess it isn't. I just checked mine, and it only shows the account number and the PIN...

Edit: Now I have a question for you 🙂 I was reading some things on this thread about how American banks can sometimes cause issues when you try to deposit winnings from a sportsbook into an account here in the States. Some people say they make trouble, others say they don't, and some say they'll call you to ask where the money came from, blah blah blah. What's the actual truth behind that? Can I just transfer the funds to an international account so nobody asks questions? (It's about $500 total from two different sites)

Edit2: > might have gotten mixed up or misunderstood us, because that one-time passcode you need to access your online banking definitely isn't four digits. At least it hasn't been for me; it's always been 7 or 8 digits every single time...

Can I just transfer the money to a foreign currency account to avoid any questions? (It's only about $500 total from two different sites)

I haven't actually tried withdrawing anything myself, so I can't say for sure, 😬

but I have read quite a bit suggesting that even larger payouts don't usually cause any issues.

The security token from the Bank of America account I rarely touch provides a four-digit code, while my Chase smart card uses six, and I couldn't tell you the exact protocol for Wells Fargo or Bank of America, though they all follow a similar pattern—without that specific number, you aren't getting a transaction authorized.

Which US sportsbooks actually offer a sign-up bonus where I don't have to deposit a single cent first?? I'm looking for something where if I hit just one bet, I can actually withdraw the cash without having put my own money on the line in the first place.

I see DraftKings is doing $50
BetMGM offers $25
FanDuel has $100
Betway is showing $200

Are you actually being serious right now? Go ahead, double-check those numbers and let me know. I’ve honestly never heard of anything even remotely close to that happening.

Nobody is crazy enough to hand over that kind of cash—let alone an amount that large—without a deposit upfront. 🤣

Hey man, I think you've seriously misunderstood how this works. Basic logic tells you that what you're asking for isn't really possible... 🤣

I find this hard to believe... does anyone actually give these away? I'm looking at BetMGM right now and they say it's 50% of the deposit, but how many times do you have to roll over the winnings before you can actually cash out? Does anyone know? It feels like none of the fine print actually explains that part.

Man, I have read so much absolute nonsense on here lately.
It reminds me of myself a few years back, thinking I was some kind of genius who could just grab a sign-up bonus and vanish into thin air.
Do yourselves a favor and actually read the fine print on Terrence’s terms for every single sportsbook out there; you'll see you usually have to roll that bonus over at least 3 to 5 times before you see a dime.

Go ahead, check the fine print on any sportsbook out there—you'll see you usually have to roll that bonus over at least 3 to 5 times before you see a dime.

That’s completely irrelevant. Just find me a sportsbook that offers a no-deposit bonus, and I’ll roll it over 10 times if that's what it takes.

So, Dobet.com is throwing out a $10 no-deposit bonus. But here’s the catch—don't get your hopes up about actually seeing that cash, because you can't withdraw a single cent unless you put your own money on the line first. Honestly, the whole sportsbook is a total joke; the odds are garbage, the selection is thin, and they pile on all these annoying little restrictions on how you can even use the bonus. It's basically a trap.

betting 🙂 isn't the issue here. If I can turn those 10 bucks into something useful, I'll deposit whatever amount is necessary, grind through some 1.10 odds just to clear the requirements, and get my money back.

I just started using BetMGM, and they’re offering a 100% deposit match to kick off the season. To actually use the bonus, I have to wager it three times at minimum odds of 1.5. Then, to withdraw any winnings, I have to roll it over another six times. So, that’s nine total playthrough requirements. It probably works the same way for the initial deposit too.
