Deposits via Western Union

austintx05 · Mar 4, 2007

I talked to a Bookmaker rep last night about depositing via WU and I like how they reimburse fees over $300, but I am curious how secure and safe this transaction would be.

With MLB around the corner, its about time to start my bankroll depsit and I am looking for the safest and most secure method.

Anyone had any problems with WU deposits? Or any suggestions as to a better method?

Thanks

Never any problems for me and Ive been using this method for as long as I have been wagering.

Better methods?? I think you should be asking are there any OTHER methods.

Ironman - Thanks for the post. In my short 2 years of wagering I have only been familiar with Neteller, so I am new to anything outside of that. I am assuming WU is prompt? Funds typically available same day?

Do you normally make the deposit online at WU site or do you go in person to a WU location? or does it matter?

Thanks

Yes, prompt. I go to a WU location (they're all over the place, can search on their site for closest). Fill out paperwork and let them send the money (5 mins). Get back in my car, call the book and let them know the control number. Within 30 minutes usually (up to an hour), the money is in the account. Never done it through their website. At location, you can bring cash or they can deduct from your debit card.

As long as you stay under 500$ you will likely not get any problem going in or going out. Its the big $$ that gets attention at WU. I have decided to go back to what you do as NT is gone and I see no other easy way. Fortunately for me, I have managed my BR much better since NT went goodbye and have yet to need to visit the local WU store.

WU has always been my choice, never (ever) a problem..........

keep it under a dime and your ok.........

austintx05 · Mar 4, 2007

what if you need to deposit over a dime?

CrazzyLarry · Mar 4, 2007

anything under $1000 is good to go at western union. $999 is perfect $1000 and over I.D. is required.

your probably still ok......... but you said, you need to get ready for mlb...

just break it up, over a few transactions....... youve got enough time to be all set for MLB......... or just fedex them a check........

or get several of the prepaid visas at walgreens and use a combo of all 3...

not that hard to deposit......... im more concerned with WD's

Trust me go to a bunch of different locations if you need to make over $1000 deposit. Or spread it out a little on mon. a little more on tues. and so on

austintx05 · Mar 4, 2007

ok...

I like the idea of a cashier's check cause I can track it via fedex...

I still use CRIS so I would man up and pay the $60 for a withdrawal...I don't withdraw until the end of a season so it would only be a one time withdrawal.

I've always gone to a location. The one time I did do it online, I had to call in and tell the operator that I actually know the person I was sending it to (Yeah right, like I know Pedro Gonzales Rodriguez in Panama). There is a location near my job so it is very convenient to me. One bad thing about WU is some locations service can be spotty and the reason behind that is because WU is a service that takes away from their main duties. I kid you not there is a Safeway here that has had its machine down off and on (mostly off) for the last 3 months. So when you find a good location, stick with it.

Parylayin hit it on the head with being able to use the debit card for your payment.

I like how when you do it over the phone and they ask you are you employed.

WTF does that have to do with anything?.

CrazzyLarry · Mar 4, 2007

is the payouts still slow with cris-diamond

trytrytry · Mar 4, 2007

ive had the ID kick in when fees plus deposit is over $1000 so dont shoot for $999....stay at $930 or so

parlayin · Mar 4, 2007

Yes, over $1000 and they ask for ID, soc sec #, occupation, etc.
