So i sent 270 via moneygram. they received my money i actually won 200 on the monday night game last night. i sign on today and my account is suspended because apparently my moneygram transfer was blocked. I call moneygram and they tell me they blocked the transfer because the persons name that the sportsbook gave me was similar to a name on the govts. list not to do business with. However they still removed the block and apparently are going to put the money back in my sportsbook. This is real shady, and im kinda nervous about it.

Has anyone else had any similar situations to this and what was the outcome. Is this shit legal or not let us know. Because if it is illegal why the hell are there literally millions of people in the us betting online.

The laws are posted if you are concerned about that, its not illegal to gamble online

Can you read dude! i tried transfering money into my book using moneygram and they blocked it cuz the name the book gave me was suspicious or something

I've never heard of any such thing to that nature before sir. Usually when I read about stories like this it involves a sender call back in order to block the transaction.

**phillyhata1** · 11-04-08, 07:18 PM

No i definately didnt call them to block it, is this something i should be concerned with.

**phillyhata1** · 11-04-08, 07:22 PM

Now the book is telling me i have to wait til tommorow to get my account unlocked because moneygram is closed and they cant confirm they unblocked it all i know is moneygram doesnt close til 8 and its only 730

If you didn't do that then I would be a bit worried then sir.

**phillyhata1** · 11-04-08, 07:25 PM

worried as far as what, cuz this is making me not want to use online books anymore

**pimike** · 11-04-08, 07:29 PM

Which book?

**phillyhata1** · 11-04-08, 07:31 PM

betonline i just got off the phone with them. i called moneygram they took the block off but now betonline is giving me a hard time about giving me access to my account

**bigboydan** · 11-04-08, 07:34 PM

Contact BetOnline and see if those funds are in their possession. If so then that should rectify the matter on this fluke event IMO.

bigboy thank you for all your help truly appreciated, here is exactly what happen i sent the money yesterday, they put the money in my account at 530pm. i bet the mnf game won and my balance was 415 dollars. i went to go in my account tonight. Said account suspended. Now betonline is telling me that they have to get the funds again from moneygram it should take about a half hour. i still cant log onto my account, and are they gonna credit the full 415 back to me. i reallly dont give a shit about the money, im worried about this shady shit moneygram told me about the name betonline gave me

If that was aimed at me, yes I read well, why come on here asking if its legal or not, it says on ever online site to check with local officials to see if its legal, they also have the information on various sites about the legality, dont come on here asking if its legal or not. The truth is you are a pure fool if you think they dont know why youre sending that money.

I say Dan is correct in what happened.
