Hey Guys,

new poster here...been playing offshore for around 10 years

about a year ago i tried depositing money thru wu...got a call half hour later from a WU rep telling me they wouldnt be able to process the transaction and i got my money sent back to me...then about a month later, the EXACT same thing happened with MG...

my question is, can I still pick up money using WU or MG? I havent tried receiving money since this happened...im wondering if im only banned from sending, or if im banned from both sending and receiving

ever since this happened ive been playing at 5dimes bc you can deposit with ur visa card and i have been getting my payouts via check...the first several checks they sent me were fine, but the last check they sent me had issues and is currently "under review" from my bank...ive had a good first few days of march madness and was thinking of taking a cashout on monday or tuesday via WU or MG, but am worried the money might get confiscated...

any comments from people who have experienced this would be really appreciated, thanks!

I dont know why I was blacklisted...I guess just for sending a certain amount or a certain number of times in a certain timeframe?

I sent relatively small deposits, anywhere from $200-$600 at a time, didnt really send that often...i guess somewhere along the line i just popped up on their radar? I really don't know...ive tried sending a few times since and each time i get a call 20 minutes later, some rep asking me questions and ultimately telling me they wont be processing my transaction and they send me the money back...have not tried receiving money since this happened tho, hoping im able to receive money without a problem...all they are doing is throwing away business...

I was looking to withdraw somewhere between $500-$900

probably sent a dozen times a year and received a dozen times a year

deposits were $200-$600

withdrawals were anywhere from $500-$1,000

really didnt seem like i was doing enough transactions to get banned, i had heard of people getting banned but i thought you had to be doing nonstop transactions for that to happen

I have had sending transactions intercepted and blocked because they went to sports books. Since then ive received plenty. You show a matching ID and youll get your cash. Dont sweat it man youre worried about nothing.

damn. are you physically sending the cash by going there and doing it or are you trying to do it online/phone because I have never been able to make a successful western union transfer using the website but going in person I've never had a problem receiving funds.

I have never not been asked for my drivers license when picking up money...i have thought about this, but there is no way to get around the drivers license # and address...you can use a different name (middle name) and phone number (google voice) to SEND (I've done that a few times) but i dont see how that would work receiving...

Been blacklisted on MG and barely avoided it so far with WU.  If you send over a certain amount over a 30 day period or in a year they must either investigate, report it to the gov, or blacklist you from what i've been told.  They know people use their services for gambling and other illegal purposes.

As for receiving, I don't think it's a safe bet if you're sure you're blacklisted. 

I don't use 5 dimes any more, but I've had heritage ask me if I'm blacklisted before sending me money.  That leads me to believe that it has been an issue in the past. Most books have no problem sending the money to another person if you have verified your account. So I just get my gf or one of my buddies to pick the money up and drop them like $50. It's a small price to pay for never having to worry about reporting your winnings, just make sure it's someone you trust.  And obviously don't have them pick up more than a couple grand a month so they don't have any issues.

Degen-

so you are saying you have received cash outs using wu/mg despite not being able to send? if so that is good news

you can still pick up money, i was blacklisted by WU and still picked up money from betonline recently.  doesnt matter cause you only need your name and the confirmation number to pick it up and there can be more than one person with your name. they keep you in the system based on phone number mainly.

i dont think they enter your drivers Lic number when picking money up , but regardless it doesnt matter because when picking up you reeally arent considered a customer to them.  And i always wondered how do they really even know the money is going to a book? i think it's more that the person you are sending to has their name flagged and then draws attn to you and then they ban you just for good measure.  Imagine how many pickups one person does a day for certain books.  Moneygram hasn't banned me , just WU has but since then havent had to make many deposits and use my VISA card now at 5dimes.a lot easier

you can put any number and no you dont need a number when picking up, only when sending. they dont ask for a phone number on the receive form.

Dude...quit asking. Find out for yourself and do it. If so worried then get paid a different method. You must be wanted for arrest or something. Show your id and pick up the funds.

and it's not like if the book tries sending money to you and you can't pick it up, that then you are burnt and they won't go pick it back up and send a different way. lol.  i made sure of that ahead of time way back when i got banned.  They said if it didnt work then they would send a check or do a bankwire.

and if you are so worried about sending then just send in a 3rd party name. you can go send money in my name if you wanted to and just tell the book the name of the sender is all. easy as 123
