    I'd be careful pulling that much through WU on a monthly basis. Maybe mix it up and get paper checks every so often.

    Correct, WU doesn't have any restrictions, but I'd be careful moving that much through WU on a regular basis. Had a buddy who won a bunch a little while back and WU closed his account because they said the large amounts he was moving on a regular basis was questionable. Don't think you'll have a problem, but be careful.

    It's not the government you have to worry about. darn them. What you do have to watch is the amounts you're dealing with when it comes to Western Union. Their magic number is $1000. That's when you have to show ID sending or receiving and anything over that number starts to really stick out.

    Use odd numbers below $1000 like 781, 829, 946 and you won't have any problem.

    Be careful, Western Union has a whole division that investigates this type of stuff.  They caught on to me in 2006 and I've been banned ever since.

    Mac- You're correct. The big difference is when you're picking up less than $1000 is they just check your ID to make sure it's you. If it's over $1000, they write down some secondary information on the form such as driver's license # or state ID card # before they pay you. That's what you want to avoid.

    Also, try to do your Western Union transactions at one of those check cashing places. They deal with a lot of cash all day long and don't even blink at transactions under $1000.

    If you use Western Union a lot, buy one of those piece of garbage throwaway phones every couple months so you can use a different phone number because that's a key piece of information that Western Union uses to track transcations.

    Bling- They do and they're like the government. A bunch of nosey phucks that want to know everyone's business. It's called their compliance department and they're located in Colorado. They banned me quite some time ago so I didn't use them for a while.

    Soon after that I started banging one of those skanky women that I like so much and she worked at one of those check cashing places. Besides having an incredibly tasty snatch, she was pretty sharp. She told me exactly how WU works and how to fly under the radar.

    Western Union knows gamblers like convenience so they know if you have $1700 you want to send, you'll try to do it all at once. No, split it into three transactions. The book will pay the fees so always do smaller transactions. Change the phone # once in a while but make sure you have that throwaway phone handy if you have to talk to Western Union. They'll call the number you put on the form just to try to trip you up.

    Bling- They do and they're like the government. A bunch of nosey phucks that want to know everyone's business. It's called their compliance department and they're located in Colorado. They banned me quite some time ago so I didn't use them for a while.

    Soon after that I started banging one of those skanky women that I like so much and she worked at one of those check cashing places. Besides having an incredibly tasty snatch, she was pretty sharp. She told me exactly how WU works and how to fly under the radar.

    Western Union knows gamblers like convenience so they know if you have $1700 you want to send, you'll try to do it all at once. No, split it into three transactions. The book will pay the fees so always do smaller transactions. Change the phone # once in a while but make sure you have that throwaway phone handy if you have to talk to Western Union. They'll call the number you put on the form just to try to trip you up.
