I haven't been in that situation, but I imagine I would reach for a "what if it was snail-mail" analogy. "It's dangerous to honor whatever time the bettor wrote by hand, the postmark-time may not be fair if the mailman got delayed because of a half-illegible address or random USPS delays... So how about we go for when it was actually delivered to us?"
