Matchbook and moneygram issues
Does anyone have any insight on the problems with Matchbook not being able to process moneygram deposits? Any idea if they will ever be able to accept them again?

I'm sure at some point Matchbook will be able to process MoneyGrams once again, however I'm not sure as to when offhand sir.

For right now I'd say just use bank wire or the new option they're integrating.

I was going to use MG today but found out it was no longer accepted and don't want to wait 7+ days for a bank wire to clear so hopefully the netspend card will work once I get it loaded.

That was a few days ago, I think it has gotten worse since then. This aint good news people. If moneygram is not an option right before football then matchbook could very well dry up.
I cant believe they were using a company in the USA in the first place. What did they expect would happen? This is going to drive a lot of people away from offshore books for good. This is as big as losing Neteller, maybe bigger because there are no other options. When Neteller left there was still moneygram. Now there is nothing to fund your account same day.

I agree. I wish I knew what was going to happen, but I don't. The MB option seems flawed from what I've read elsewhere, before the threads get deleted. I'm afraid to use that or MG at this time, CC's never work, I don't use wires, echecks are a rarity, not much left.
It's looking very bad.

MB is essential for great lines. Might as well quit without them.

Exactly. I'm not going back to paying -110 when I average no juice at all to -102 at matchbook.
This is big people, it could be the end.

They are accepting wire transfers, book to book, and credit/debit card if you can find one that works. Maybe call them and ask them what kind of visa gift card would work on their site. Maybe that is a solution.

This could be bad for forums,too. Why should a book pay to advertise when customers can't deposit w/o a bunch of BS.
I think many players will just not reload, either quit entirely or use a local.
Not a good time to be a forum Mod.
