I've been using Money Gram to fund my account and I'm wondering is there a more convenient way to do this.I book with FiveDimes also andI'm aware of the laws the United States has on funding using a debit or credit card and is there anyway to get around this?I always have to leave the house to send money which is a drag in it's self so any help here would be greatly appreciated.Are US players only able to make deposits using Money Gram and Western Union?

I think that each situation is different, each site offers different options and each bank restricts certain things. I came back to 5Dimes briefly for the Roland Garros, but I was never successful funding my account. Customer service had me trying all kinds of methods, finally leading to a phone card that would act as a credit card to fund my account, instead it resulted in my bank account being frozen. I'm not sure how common that is when it comes to phone cards, I'm not sure if my bank flagged it, I do know that the funds were pulled from my account, but the other end was showing no purchase. After straighting things out with my bank in the morning, I returned to my usual site and avoided the headache. It's really hard to trust any of these sites, if you decide to enter new information into a site and deposit I would keep a close eye on your bank statements to make sure everything remains professional.

I have the same issue. I use ************* which is convenient but expensive for the transfer. I tried to deposit to 5dimes but they said they won't take ewallet anymore. There isn't one nice method that works for several of the top books. I really don't want to open any new method to fund so I'm sticking with ewallet, bookmaker, and bodog.Comment -
use a check card on a legit site that allows US players, etc. matchbook,betjamicia, sportsbook.Comment -
The reason why I use Bodog is because it is the only book that allows me to deposit using my debit card and doesn't charge any fees.Comment -

You can use betjam and moneygram online to send them a deposit if you don't feel like leaving the house. www.moneygramonline.com
Just make sure you use the Same Day service. Betjam will reimburse the fee's. Usually is a 45 minute process, but from the comfort of your own home.Comment -

I love mailing a cashiers check by courier using the book's account number. Awesome. Just call and give them the tracking number and amount and you are ready to go. All you will spend is a little time getting it done. Don't give anyone your credit card number for gambling, a big mistake in my opinion.Comment -
i paypal my funds to JJ who then calls in his vegas guy's phone acct. if i lose, i just do a **********Comment -
Brock, Do you use a reloadable card or the one time gift card? I have used the one time gift card to fund Poker accounts I have. I read that the reloadable card doesn't work on the poker sites so I didn't even try. I know the one time gift card has a max of $250 on it. And I think the reloadable card has like a $5 fee every month.Comment -
i don't know why more people don't use bank wiresComment -
western union and credit card.Comment -
That does sound easy actually, I looked into bank wires with Matchbook before posting up last NFL year, tried it online through my bank but they wouldn't service me. Ultimately I figured for what I was sending, I'd just up and go to ** instead of into my bank because it was quicker and less confusing.
I'll have to look into which banks let you send the wire online, because 2 days isn't all that bad.Comment -
The bad thing about bank wires is the fee your bank charges, I just did one today and it cost me $30.Comment -
I try not to fun a lot because of the hassles but when I do I use western union online, pre paid visas that work and online checksComment
