Hey guys,
Ive been following this forum and reading the different threads for the past couple of months. I was wondering how each of you add money to your online accounts. I used to use either visa gift cards and occassionally my own credit card however neither of these work anymore. Anyways any info would be greatly appreciated.

You could western union that money to them. I'm suprised the Visa thing doesnt work. I work with a guy that does it all the time at sportsbook.com

credit cards never have worked directly for me. I use western union. Hassle free and also actually free. It is usually in my account in 30 minutes.
I use 5dimes and Bookmaker.

5dimes takes Western Union or book to book tranfers . If you send over 300 through western union they cover your fees
Last time I deposited into matchbook I used my visa check card but that was over a year ago so I'm not sure if it still works.
I've heard from many people they bought a reloadable netspend card at a gas station and it works at many books .
What book are you looking to deposit into ?

My MC and Visa are accepted @ sports.com. They charge me 1% for international fees, and they're not the best book for MMA/Boxing, I'll be the first to admit that.

I've used bodog, betus, and 5dimes before and have tried depositing money (with the gift cards) at other books as well. I've never used western union before and am unaware how reliable/trustworthy it is or even how to go about using it. I've thought about trying the reloadable netspend card but for some reason I chose not to purchase one. Probably because of the uncertainty regarding if it would work and I think there was a waiting period on the activation.
Edit:
And I reside in the united states if that makes a difference, but I figured most on this board do as well.

The netspend isnt risky at all. If you end u not being able to deposit with it just use the money you put on it on anything else(gas,food etc)
To use western union call the sportsbook you want to deposit with and tell them you need a western union reciever name and location. Then go to a gas station,CVS ,rite aid or walmart and ask them for a western union form. Fill it out pay them and then call the sportsbook back with the tracking number . Its thats easy and is safe
My credit card works fine at Bodog, Bookmaker, and Sportsbook.
I had it working at 5dimes but some retarded security shit fucked that up for me.

I used to pick the sportsbook by whichever accepted the deposit method I had available to me. I like the books that have mma prop bets such as win by decision, ko, etc. 5dimes does this and im not sure which others do, but i dont know if 5dimes accepts western union.

5dimes takes Western union because thats how I deposited some of my money with them
If you deposit over 300 they cover the fees also

So would western union fall under person to person transaction or person to company?
MMA_scientist
11-15-2010, 09:14 PM
It is person to person. Just use the chat help or call them and they will give you a name and city... like "Jon Doe - Manila Phillipines." Then you go to Wal mart/bank/CVS/gas station and just put that person's name as the receiver, you as the sender and hand the money to the cashier, make sure it is in US dollars. It is the brown and yellow icon on the site.
It is reliable and easy.

I just use a pre paid visa card from Walmart, I've used western union once but it was a pain in the ass. I don't have a credit card or a debit card because I am lazy so I just stick to those reloadable cards.

It is a Visa Walmart Moneycard. Just go to Walmart and go to the customer service and ask about one.

Couple questions: When was the last time youve used this moneycard? Are there fees associated with it? and which sportsbook do you deposit to?
And if you dont have a credit/debit card does that mean you walk around with just wads of money

1. I use it all the time for stuff online. I haven't deposited on a sportsbook in awhile though.
2. Yeah, they take $3 a month after so long. This fucked me once because I ended up being like negative $6 before I put money on it the other week to buy something, I went to buy it and I didn't have enough funds.
3. 5dimes
4. No I put cash (I work under the table at a local restaurant) under my mattress and walk around with $20-$a few hundred depending on what I am doing/where I am going
I work under the table at a local restaurant
Are you a Mexican?

IF you havent deposited since about may or so then it might not work the next time you try it. Mastercard has put a lock on all betting transactions and I dont know of any1 that has used it to make deposits with sportsbooks. I have a friend who uses his parents' visa card like once a year to make a deposit but that card has a really high limit and is used for alot of things so I dont know if that makes a difference. The wal mart card sounds alot like the netspend card tho so it seems like it would work.

It'll work. It is Visa, not Mastercard. I have a Mastercard pre paid card as well that I get free money on from my school (refunds each semester from my a scholarship and a pre-paid program that isn't needed to pay my tuition) and I used to be able to use that for deposits but not anymore.

I don't know. I had a visa prepaid gift card from Walgreens and it wouldn't work on Bodog (I use 5dimes now so I don't know if it would or not). I got the Walmart Moneycard for Christmas with money on it already, and I just kept it, loaded it, tried it on 5dimes, and it worked. The last time I deposited was in July.

Alright i'll pick one of those up and give it a try tomorrow or wednesday. thx.
Also, the last time I purchased a visa giftcard at a wallgreens and I used my credit card to buy it and the clerk gave me shit about it and called her manager up to run a check on my card thinking it was stolen. For some reason my drivers license wasnt proof enough that i was the person I said i was.

I haven't had any problems with my MC and have definitely deposited onto sports.com since May. I think they don't identify it as a bettting transaction though and they have some fugazi way of appearing on my statements or sending me random checks from bizarre shell companies when I cash out. Goodluck though!

What's the book again? I remember I tried to use a regular money card with 5dimes and they told me to fuck off. Apparently for them it has to be a Netspend card. Specifically that brand.

Yea it was 5dimes. What other book has decision props that might accept the card?

For props, 5dimes is the best. Bookmaker also has some, but the odds aren't as good and the selection isn't as big. They do have them, though. If you don't already have a Bookmaker account, you really need one anyway.

bookmaker doesnt accept credit card deposits as a deposit method.

They take mine. It's the only way I've deposited with them.
But if they won't take it, Bodog has just started offering some props within the last couple of months. The selection might be even more limited than Bookmaker, but again, they have them. Plus, I know Bodog will take those cards. I funded my account with one forever ago and then blew it all playing blackjack.

I decided to try this method because if it failed it doesnt cost me anything and it didnt really cost any money to try it. I've never used western union before and wasnt sure how long it would take to get the money into my acct using western union.
Like I said, I think Bodog might take it.

I ended up deposting about 300 with betus. Not my favorite book due to the ridiculously horrible lines they put out and no props but o well. Might give 5dimes another try after the card comes in the mail, if theres still funds on it. Thx for the help tho.
