Funding Matchbook

[JPT III]

Anyone fund matchbook recently? They're telling me Moneygram and WEstern Union are the way to go, and I've done neither before. I'm wondering if anyone has had a good (or bad) experience funding via either of these two methods at matchbook since the Neteller debacle.....


Thanks in advance for any input.

bump. i too would like to start playing at matchbook. bodog sucks as a primary book. how easy is a wire transfer? will my bank give me dirty looks for wanting to wire 2k to lloyd's tsp bank in london?

Do they have inter-account transfer options? I don't see them in the menu, but maybe if you contact CS they would be willing. That might be the easiest way.

i found an easy way after being inspired by this thread.

giftcards.com let's you buy visa giftcards of up to $500 for a $2 fee. These can be purchased with any credit or debit card, and I can confirm that they are treated as a purchase, not a cash advance. after you buy it, it takes a couple of hours for them to process, then you get the number and can do a matchbook credit card purchase. i've done one $500 card, am waiting for a second to process so i can deposit $500 more for the "big boy special."

if you are like me and have been paying bodog's ridiculous juice, i'd advise you to try out matchbook with a giftcards.com visa, apparently they also work at FTP and stars.
