    Default My Matchbook interbook transfer experience

    Good grief! A few weeks ago I easily transferred funds from my Matchbook account to three other books. No problem. Today I tried to transfer funds to WSEX and had a totally different experience. Because the first interbook transfer was using funds that I had originally deposited via Neteller everything went smoothly. But because I had made a subsequent deposit using my CC I needed to fax MB a copy of the back and front of my CC and a copy of my driver's license. I did that and thought everything was in order. But no! I need to first have MB send me a check and THEN I can make an interbook transfer! But you see, I don't want a check from Matchbook. Not to mention that I want my money transferred to WSEX before two weeks have gone by. I told MB to forget it. I'm just going to deal with these books directly. Isn't this carrying identity verfication too far? Or am I being unreasonable?

    I hear you. They have good intentions, but can get a little too anal sometimes when it is regarding a CC. That's why I just used **, was able to transfer to WSEX fast and easy. I hate having to fax stuff.

    Default Update to my previous post

    Surprisingly, my CC deposit was accepted by WSEX! Other books don't accept it. Go figure.

    ************ are risky for books, because players are doing charge-backs. Example: deposit 1K at one book, another 1K at another book and play opposite sides. Then do a charge-back for the losing bet.

    Is it pretty much standard for books to reimburse the fees of ** when depositing a high enough amount? There is a ** location close to where I live. Maybe I should just stop depositing with ************. What do you think?

    Usually it is only 2-300$ and they cover fees. And yes, I agree you will have less headache by just going to a ** location with cash.

    Ok Doug you have me a bit curious as to why you think this.

    I personally have never used Moneygrams before, because I've read that people seem to have much more trouble trying to get their funds sent to there books using moneygrams than whether **.

    I've heard too many horror stories from people about ** asking too many nosy questions, and even cutting people off from using their service.

    Both have issues. I think it's a reason why books are folding ( or at least stealing) now. Too hard to send them money, and deposits are smaller than they were with NT.

    I thought it was because ** is cheaper than **.

    The books like people using **'s for that reason, However the books pick up the fees if your sending them cash. So needless to say the players don't care from that aspect of things.

    ** is expensive. ** is a standard 9.95 for up to 2500 i think.

    ** is easy and fast sending to Matchbook - I know that. 30 mins and your funds are in your account - no problem

    How much do you send at a time though? I have read before that sometimes their is problems with larger sums of money being sent, unlike anything under a dime.

    I agree, the books that require ID before withdrawls are a bunch of thievs and it's real shady and I wouldn't trust any of them.
