$79 Western Union Fees for a $500 Withdrawal - Las Palmas
Called to make a withdrawal and was informed that any deposit made required the amount and bonus to remain in the account for 30 days. Asked about the once a month free withdrawal and was told that the no longer do them. Here's what on their wedsite;
Initial deposit and bonuses must remain in the account for a minimum of 30 days before any withdrawals are made.
To receive the free payout you need to wager your deposit in full, if not, the fees will be covered by the customer.
Apparently
I was asking to many questions so I was told my WU fees for a $500 was $78. the Cocky manager said that's what WU charges. I called WU and was told the fee was $36. Obviously this book is no longer honest with their clients. Beware

I've never cashed out using WU, but have deposited a ton through WU in the past. One time I got stopped when I tried to make a 8k deposit to Pinny when the courier's name was "Jennifer Hussein", lol.

Higher Western Union fees across the board?
could it get any worse for players and books in terms of money transfer?

Not when you send only when you receive it back.

MSchild (off subject) you need to stick with A rated books and only A rated books right now. I'm a bonus whore and will jump on a good bonus quick... but not right now. Pinnacle Cris 5dimes and some would say Bodog. Keep your funds with these guys and your in much better shape. Just friendly advice.

great advice aces...this is highway robbery by these books to charge customers these rates...it's one thing to charge customers the actual ammount, it's one thing to double it...
funny thing is I've talked to my respective books CS departments zero times this year (other than the initial times on the phone signing up and depositing with cascade and legendz)...haven't had to call or email pinny, betjamaica, betcris or matchbook yet this year...

Dont use WU then , pretty simple. You have to be out of your mind paying thse fees. I wonder why many people use locals no bull shit. When you pay fees like that its like betting -120 on ever game and you will get eaten alive.

When books send money via WU, they have to go through agents who tack on an additional fee. WU has been cracking down lately, so it's not all that suprising that the fees the agents are charging the books have gone up. But Laspalmas has a history of screwing players who win.
