sportsbook deposit

[frankie]

what is the best way to fund your account, credit card or western union?

[wayne1218]

not Western Union unless it's a big chunk cause they charge.

credit card is the easiest i think.You can go direct or fund a swiftpay or paypal with the credit card also

[PhilJr]

Western Union will charge, but all sportsbooks add the charge to your account. If you send $1000 and the charges are $80, your account will show $1080.

It is worth mentioning that most credit card companies have cracked down on offshore book deposits. I routinely am required to deposit via Western Union as my credit cards won't allow me to deposit with my book. However, you can use your credit card to make the WU transfer, and as has been said, most books reimburse you the fee (unless the deposit is small, say, less than $200).

Just some fundamental thoughts

I am a very paranoid person...
Do not ask me why but it turned from a little bit of paranoia into something very...well let's say "weird", since I started betting.
However, thanks god that in Germany it is legal to bet over the internet, but even I am have some rules:
I have several bank accounts from which I send the money to my bookies. I never use credit cards or this pay pal sh't.
I close my bank accounts every three months down and open another to prevent that anyone is looking into my accounts and see how much money I send to the bookies.
It became too easy for the police to f'ck you up thanks to the new communications.
So, why am I writing all this? To show you what a sicko I am? No, not really.
:D :D :D
I do not know too much about american bank laws, but I think you should use a bank account for your transfers and close it down after you sent the money. As far as I know will the data only be stored for 6 months and after this no one can track you down.


OK, back to the topic:
If you do not care about the informations stored away about you:
Use a credit card, otherwise take Western Union.

I fund my offshore accounts using Netteller. Netteller withdraws the funds directly from my checking account. The only drawback. It takes 4-5 business days for the funds to become available.

WOW! Paraniod! and you say we have problems here in the states.

western union

millenium & Gibraltar both pick up the charge & add it in as stated above

[BettorsChat]

Most books pick up western union charges and add it in as a bonus to your account.

Neteller is usually the same way too.

[GermanBettor]

Sure Frank....
Because there is one big difference:
I choose to be paranoid...you HAVE TO cause the cops are hunting you down.

[Cabomike]

I use firepay and Neteller. both have worked quite well.
