Western Union? - Yes, I've been out of the loop

cdsmoney · Oct 2, 2006

Between working and studying for an actuarial certification, I'm lucky to have time to even wager on my games (currently, have an account at BetJam).

I've already contacted Pinnacle and am going to send a 4-dime deposit through Western Union tomorrow.

Since I've been gambling online, WU has always been my preferred form of deposit. I've never been a fan of using my bank accounts for such transactions.

So, can anyone in the 'know' and not the naysayers tell me what, if any effect, this will have on Western Union fundings in the future (provided the offshore books find a way to continue to accept WU deposits on their end).

Thanks for any and all insights

Pinnacle is accepting Western Union again? Is that starting today because for the past month they have stopped using WU's. That would be cool if they did because I only use WU and Moneygram myself.

Now I have to call. Someone responding to my e-mail at Pinnacle said I could use WU. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in stating I was from the US. That really will suck. Shit, I was hoping not to have to use Cascade (and not because I haven't heard good things about them).

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with Cascade. Quality shop there. I know for sure that BetCRIS accepts Moneygram and Cascade accepts WU. I did a deposit at both places on Saturday via these methods.

Actually, I've only ever heard good things about them. As you noted, Pinnacle indicates they don't know how long WU will be unavailable. They apologized three times for the representative for the e-mail and had great CS. Hope they have that (WU) figured out by the start of next bases season. I'll be WUing my 4-dimes to Cascade tomorrow.

BTW, pokerpills, if they have any sort of referral bonus, let me know and I'll mention you when I send the money control number.

I can definitely recommend Cascade. I've been using them for this entire baseball season and have been very pleased. They are a good out for baseball. They do have a referral program because I referred a friend over there before. If you can mention me that would be cool. :103631605

Cds, drop my an email(under my profile) if you're still opening an account with Cascade tomorrow so I can give you my info. Thanks bud!

I have only funded my acounts with western union for the last 6 years. It is easy. Hope this whole Bush Republican Bible Thumping congress gets voted out at the next election. I used to be a Republican, but now I am officially a Libertarian.
