    Is matchbook ever gonna make it easy for US players to deposit?

    I don't want to deposit via *************** with a minimum deposit of $500.

    I don't want to transfer from one book to another. I just want to be able to deposit easily. Why is this so hard to do?

    The fact that they can't overcome this "obstacle" makes me question their whole operation.

    You consider breaking the law an "obstacle" then?

    I'm lucky to be outside the US so I can use Neteller and Moneybooker freely and deposit/wd here are very fast and easy.

    Dear Lord, just tell us what deposit method you want MB provide to US customers that exist in Universe?

    There are reasonable concerns with Matchbook (B2B relationships, seeding markets, WSEX). This isn't one of them.

    I never bet big ever. Even when I won 12k at sportsbook I only put in $55.

    Matchbook has no option for someone like me that wants to deposit $50 at a time.

    I used ******* already this week and they only let you use them once every two weeks.

    I don't understand why they cannot do a wire transfer to and from a bank. I believe the big two poker sites (Stars and Full Tilt) have this type of deposit and withdrawal option and I also believe that some of the big sports books allow this as well, but I could be wrong. The UIEGA legislation does not concern withdrawals so it would just be deposits from a wire transfer that would be a concern. I doubt that all US banks are able to check that closely to those wires. My understanding is that banks and specifically credit card companies are required to do their best to avoid deposits to online sports books but you would think that the sports books could create an easy way to funnel that money through a third party. I have used ******* and they just do not inspire the same confidence Neteller used to

    MB does wire transfer except bank wires sent from BkofAma. Information is posted on their website.
