Apparent CANBET is now on the bad boy list for US Credit Card Issuers and I need to fund my account before Saturday. Wire transfer won't be possible because UK Banks are closed Thursday and Friday. Neither will NetTeller satisfy my deadline since I only signed up today. Running out of ideas here and would appreciate some guidance

One idea:
Do Ladbrokes allow US customers to wager on sports?? If so, is it the same rules and payout as offshore bookies? Can I fund via mastercard??

Seancy - This may sound naive, but what about Western Union?

can i do a western union CC transfer online? How much do they typically charge??

The Canbet customer service rep believes that WU will not transact with known sportsbooks. He did not seem 100% certain though

You are probably better off getting cash, and going to a WU. and just making a transfer. imo.

Canbet may be a bad alternative for WU. Most books just send out a courier with an unrecognizable name to WU as a sportsbook agent, but since Canbet being publicly traded and in the UK does things very deliberately they probably force you to send it to a business account of theirs.

I just found out that canbet will not accept Western Union from the US. I'd call 1-800-399-8062 and ask Canbet about alternatives or open another book and send it Western Union.

Why not use Pinnacle? WU is a cinch.

Be careful when sending large amounts as many of us have had problems in the past...not only that but it is much more apt to be looked at.

Western Union charges $68 to wire up to $1000. So may be another $10-20 more for $2000
