Newbie question about safety of depositing via moneygram?

[Pervis Ellison]

First time betting on anything, found the reviews here and decided to open an account at bet jamaica. I decided to deposit using moneygram, and the customer rep gave me the name of some random guy in Nicaragua to receive the money. Is this normal procedure? Like I said, I've never bet before so this all seems very inconvenient (and underhanded lol).

Thanks if you guys can help me out so I can start laying some money on this weekends' games.

Yes, thats normal. Good luck this weekend.

Thats what happens everytime with moneygram and western union - you get a random name. If your lucky enough to win a random name will also be sending it to you.

It's normal, and it sucks. But it's what we're stuck with these days.

Very safe, money gram and western union is the way to go

not just these days.
This is how it was in the 90's too as far as I remember. It was always some random name.

Interesting to know. Some folks (like me!) were seriously spoiled with NETeller. The Moneygram option was so new to me when getting ready for this football season. It felt dirty (LOL).
