Can a bank refuse to give you money?

refuse to cash my check? There is no federal law that requires a bank to cash a check, even a government check. Some banks only cash checks if you have an account at the bank. Other banks will cash checks for non-customers, but they may charge a fee.

Banks can place "holds" on checks for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, banks hold a check because the collection of the money may be in doubt or the check looks suspicious for some reason. Holds may also be placed when a large dollar amount ($5,525 or more in checks) is deposited in one day or when funds are deposited into a new account (opened 30 or fewer days ago). A federal law, the Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA), or Regulation CC, provides exceptions that allow banks to delay or "hold" funds deposited by check for an extended period of time. When this happens, you must be given a notice stating the reason for the hold and when your funds are available for withdrawal. Please see the Deposit Accounts and Deposit Insurance section for additional details. You may also want to review the account agreement you received when you opened your account for details about your bank's funds availability policies and procedures. A bank must give you a copy of its deposit availability disclosure upon request.

How much was the Quavo Drake bet?

College football bets between Quavo and Drake are nothing new - the Migos rapper appeared on a Bleacher Report podcast back in September and spoke about how he lost $50,000 to Drake on such bets - but this one figures to be the biggest of them all.

The Dawgs and Tide are going head to head on Monday night for the national championship.

Example video title will go here for this video

INDIANAPOLIS — As Georgia and Alabama go to battle in Indianapolis on Monday night for the college football national championship, Quavo and Drake look as if they'll be going to battle for bragging rights - and probably a good chunk of change - depending on the outcome. College football bets between Quavo and Drake are nothing new - the Migos rapper appeared on a Bleacher Report podcast back in September and spoke about how he lost $50,000 to Drake on such bets - but this one figures to be the biggest of them all. Quavo posted a picture to his Instagram from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy ahead of game time on Monday night, where he's attending the contest. He tagged Drake's @champagnepapi account and said: "U kno why I'm here @champagnepapi. We are locked in we are down." A proud Atlantan, it figures that Quavo probably has his money on the Dawgs. Drake responded, confirming who is on which side: "Just run me my bread right and nice and slow no sudden movements. #ROLLTIDEROLL" Neither of the two divulged exactly how much might be at stake, but we're guessing it's not exactly like the 20 bucks you and a friend might wager, or the food bet between the governors of Georgia and Alabama, for that matter.
