Default anyone living in the US done a wire transfer to matchbook?

so according to things i've read online, it is not really illegal to gamble online in the US. it is only illegal to fund your gambling thru US entities (aka US CC, check, other)...
with that being said, has anyone here in the US funded their Matchbook account by using wire transfer with a US Chase account or some other US bank?

added: when you goto the bank did they ask you what it was for? if you say online gambling do they reject you?

I would just fund it with ** or **, book covers your fee if you send at least $300, alot better than your bank account showing a wire transfer to a sportsbook.

It doesn't go from your bank straight to Matchbook. lol

And your bank has no business asking you what it is for. It's just a financial transaction that they get paid for.

I agree. It's non of their business. I fund sportsbooks here and there using my CC but it's never more than 50 bucks.

Otherwise it's with a Wal-mart **** green dot card with my name on it and if it's over 500 it goes from money wire. I've only done 2 deposits over 500 in my lifetime..so. Low gambler.
