Getting money to the WSOP: wire or certified check
Are both methods working? Has anyone had trouble wiring money to the Rio or getting a certified check cashed? Is the Rio the best place to wire money? What method works best?
Since I posted this, I called the Rio and they are recommending using a cashiers check, saying they are overwhelmed with wire transfers and the wires could take over a week. |

I thought about it and the Rio may really be overloaded with wires. There are so many people who were getting signed up for the online sites for the ME last year who need to get the buyin there themselves now.

Re: Getting money to the WSOP: wire or certified check
If anyone is already in LV and looking either a) to get funds quick, or b) to withdraw from Stars/FTP instantly rather than wait a couple weeks for a check, I've helped a couple people in this regard: they've transferred me $ on FTP or Stars and I've just handed over cash in person (just like the online swaps I've done, though, I ask for 4% of the amount transferred). I don't have unlimited funds, though, so preference will go to 2p2'ers with > 1,000 posts. And I'm preferably only interested in swaps for > $1,000 (sorry, low-limit grinders, but lower amounts prob wouldn't be worth my time...)
Mods: if I shouldn't have posted this, feel free to delete. p.s. i wired $ to the Rio last week and had no problems. Wired it on Friday afternoon, and picked it up Tuesday at noon. I was stuck at the cage filling out paperwork for nearly 45 mins to pick it up which was a PITA, but otherwise no complaints. |
