Upset Omega Depositer

[MrExacta]

Used Omega to deposit some money last week via Western Union and all went through in about 30 minutes. Deposited via Western Union tonight to place some bets on the evening games, only to end up waiting forever while my deposit was "in process".

Finally I get on the live chat and am told that "the western union service is down right now, the earliest we can process your deposit is tomorrow".

Some advanced warning on the front of their site or some sort of notice on the western union deposit page that the service was down would have been nice.

I was able to deposit on another site via Western Union, so I guess the ** service is only down for Omega users tonight.

I will never use that service again. I didn't deposit money tonight so that I could wager on tomorrow's games. That is assuming they really do process my wager tomorrow as they have stated.

Not a good way to get things going for an upstart service like Omega.

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum MrExacta

Thanks for sharing your experiences with this processor.

Something seems fishy about them, I'd just stick with ** for right now. Also welcome to the board bud.

[bookie]

When you tried to deposit via Western Union did you do it on the internet, or go to a ** office?

And to whom did they have you wire the money? A person? Or the name of a business?

Also, if you know, is this the Omega based in Kentucky?

No, I believe they are located in Cascade's back pocket.

Western Union or Money Gram only

Be safe

If you are going to use **. Why not just send the money directly to the book. WHy send money to omega and then to the book

Is Omega still taking deposits for Cascade? If ithey are, there's no way I'd use them.

all these places are fly buy nights trying to make a quick buck, it will not work with usa customers, way too many obstacles.

Omega posted in the Cascade/Omega thread that Cascade canceled their plans to add them.

Sorry to hear that you were disatisfied with the service. Depending on when you make your deposit with ** or Money Gram will affect when the transaction is processed. Basically if your ** or ** is made after 8 PM EST it will be processed the following day.

Just for general information you can use your credit card to send a Western Union or Money Gram up to $1000 to Omega.

I am glad to see that there is no follow-up response, that must mean the second transaction you mentioned was processed successfully.

Thats what I didn't understand.

The transaction was not done after 8pm EST it was around 7pm EST and wasn't completed until Monday at about 2pm EST.

That is crappy service.

Just to give it one more shot, I'm waiting on another one that was done just now, we'll see how long it takes to process. It's before 8pm EST.

** Transaction

Mr. Exacta,

Let me know if you have any further difficulties and I will be happy to do what I can to assist.

Advantages of using Omega versus going straight to a site are as follows:

Omega can be funded by ** and ** using a credit card.

Omega can simplify your transactions to multiple sites.

Omega does not have the same limitations that some sites have on the weekend with regard to conducting ** and ** transactions.

I know some of you have wanted to see lower payout fees from Omega and Omega will be making an important announcement later today on a reduced fee for payouts.
