Western Union policy against gambling.

Toddy · #1 07-05-2005, 11:06 AM

Unfortunately my bank and my credit card will not allow me to send $$ to my PS account so I have to use Western Union which I have done for the past year. A couple weeks ago I deposited $1K which kills me because you have to pay a fee. I realized the lady at the store spelled the receivers name wrong so I had to call WU and have her change the name. The lady at WU asked me who the lady was. I had no clue that it was illegal to send money WU to gambling sites. I told her that it was for poker (foot in mouth). The lady went off and told me it was illegal and I had to go back to the store and get my money back, and WU mailed me the fee. I thought it was perfectly legal. WU said they were cracking down on this stuff.

Get a Neteller account. This sorts out everything.

I have 5 credit cards and none of them will allow me to deposit into neteller. I kept getting more cards in the hopes that one would work but no. I called them up and they all gave me the same story. "Neteller is used for internet gambling." I tried to convince them that I wanted to use it for paying for auctions and stuff online and they said to use paypal.

The only way I can fund Neteller is by EFT. I have also used Citadel in the past which is and Instant form of EFT that works great.

Have your bank issue you a MasterCard or Visa that accesses your checking account. Or us IGMPay to make your deposit.

You can deposit to neteller from your checking account.

I have a visa that draws out of my checking acct and it won't work either. Same policies.

I have a visa that accesses my checking directly. Neteller, firepay and IGM have all worked, the last one seems the best(despite being a bit of a pain to set up).

Then use IGMPay or deposit with an e-check directly from your account.
