WU worked great and took 3 minutes after entering the MTCN. Just used a grocery store and paid in cash (just to be safe). I've used All Access Visas in the past and this was much less of a hassle.

I've heard the online version works, and if it can't verify you you'll get a coupon you can use at a live store which is nice.

my visa is off and on with merge....im going to just stop playing

Do I have to physically walk into a WU location, or can I make a deposit via the WU website? Thanks!

What Visa Gift Card works on this site? My credit union visa debit card usually works on poker/gaming sites but does not work on rpm. All my money is tied up on stars and tilt at the moment. I know western union works great but unfortunately I don't have $112 to deposit right now.

WU tells me I have to wait for snail mail verification, any way around this?

edit your profile. Like add global phone number or whatever, save, and for whatever reason the next day (within 24 hrs) it gave me option to get text or phone call verification. Wierd

Also to the 3 or 4 posts prior... The answers you seek have been posted multiple times in last couple pages. Yes to Online. Not many Visa's especially pre paids yadda yadda yadda.

Lastly, I didn't wanna do it but broke down and went ahead and deposited using WU (couldnt wait on p2p any longer ) The whole deal was surprisingly easy AND RPMSeth hooked it up with a bonus. Now just have to get verified so I can hook the rest of yas up!

Hi, Noob WU question. I see posts stating $12.00 fee up to $1,000. However the agent was quoting me a fee of $43.00. She was also talking about about a currency conversion. Is the extra fee due to the currency exchange? Do I need to request a transfer in $ only? Can I ask what country the transfer is made to? Your help is most appreciated.

Thank you for this.

You definitely have to make sure to send it in $US. Those fees may be caused by sending it in the local currency and the exchange fees that result from it.

The clerk that helped me quoted me at something similar, but when he entered all the info in it came to $15. I think its way more if you transfer within the US for some reason.

Would greatly appreciate if someone could pm me the name of a VISA card that works and has successfully deposited on Merge after Black Friday. Thanks in advance.

My visa is from one of the big banks and would not work, I ended up using Western Union which was located in a supermarket. I funded the payment to Western Union using my bank debit card. Obviously Western Union charges a fee, which in my case was $12 for the amount I sent. I went back to my office and entered the trans. # in the appropriate field on the cashier page, and the money was in my account in just a few minutes. It's more hassle than using echecks obviously, but it worked fine.

That's exactly what I did sent $100 to someone through BOA and they transferred the RPM money right over and I quadrupled up already since Black Friday. If you do your research throughout the forum you should be able to tell if you are getting scammed or not.

Tried Visa from BofA looking for a suckout one time!!! but denied

Damn it WU sent me a verification code by snail mail... I got to feed the monster and now gotta wait longer!!

Used Western Union.

Made sure to state that the currency transferred must be in US dollars and even wrote it on the sheet. This is not sufficient. You must state the payout amount or the currency received must be in US dollars. The clerk I used today had a hard time figuring out how to do this. Once she located the proper box all went smoothly.

The clerk I used yesterday checked a box that indicated that the currency be sent in US dollars. This is the default box but the default box will result in the currency being sent in US but received in Pesos.

If this happens to you do the following:

1. Set up another Money Transfer in RPM. Copy down the new person and city.

2. Head to your local Western Union. Once there call Western Union customer service. The clerk at your local Western Union can't help you. Cancel the Money Transfer. You will have to fill out a Receiver Form to get the funds back. On the form you are both sender and receiver. You will be given a new MCTN number for you to get your funds back. Cancelling and getting new funds back took about ten minutes. WU customer service was excellent.

3. Fill out a new Money Transfer Send form and put in new person, city, and country. Be sure that the clerk is positive that the box for the payout in US dollars. If this box is not checked correctly, you will have to go through the entire process again. Get your new MCTN number and enter in appropriate spot.

I don't think RPM was very helpful in resolving this situation. I sent an email to customer service and to RPMSeth. Response was extremely slow and no one told me how to resolve the situation, though they did tell me I had to talk to Western Union.

I also think that the instructions for the Money Transfer on RPM are not specific enough. It states to make sure the transfer is made in US dollars. I clearly made sure that the clerk knew this and, no fault to her, she thought she had done so. What needs to be made clear is that the payout needs to be in US dollars.

I also contacted Live Support. I asked what to do and the help person said I had to go through Western Union. I checked 2+2 and found someone who had gone through the same mixup and he gave me the exact steps to rectify the situation. I went back to Live Support and told the help person what I had found out at 2+2. The live help person said he had nothing to do with WU customer service.

I think RPM needs a FAQ on this so that folks can quickly find out what to do when they encounter the same problem.

One last unrelated quibble about RPM: I asked is the player funds are kept in a segregated account. Poker Stars did this. Full Tilt did not. The Microgaming skins that went into liquidation did not. I only have a small amount on RPM. Before I feel comfortable keeping larger amounts there this question needs to be answered.

Cliffs:

1. Western Union first attempt failed due to money payout not being in US dollars.
2. 2nd attempt successful.

did this and I had the money in my account in less than 5 minutes.

Did I mention the part where the one who leadeth you the way gets percentage of winnings!??!

But seriously, glad I could help as after I posted that LOTS of people started wanting to trade for RPM funds and the supply was just not there.

Have any of you folks using UMW loaded your UMW account using a debit card? Trip report?

It says 5% fees. Did you bank charge additional fees? Any declinations?

Confirmed 5% fee, no fees from the bank (WellsFargo). EZ-PZ for sure.

Sweet. That's my exact set-up. I'm just waiting for Tilt monies to come in before depo'ing and jumping on the first time bonus. grinding away with $130 roll until then......boooorrrrriiinnngggggggg. I could use my stars money, but I vowed I wouldn't redeposit until I got all of my roll back. Since Tilt was 2/3rds of my online roll I feel like this is the prudent thing for me at this point.

At first I didn't mind because there werent really any 3/6 lhe games running, but now they seem to be going at peak hours so I am salivating to get more money online.

They didnt make you snail mail verify your account at WU online?

Not everyone has to do the snail mail verify. Some get a phone call to do it. My theory on that is if you use a land line phone number then they verify it over the phone. With a land line phone number they can verify your address. If you use a cell phone number as your primary contact they can't verify your address and therefore snail mail it. Some people have had luck switching their phone contact a day later and being able to verify over the phone.

Is this required only for checks? Or do you need to do it with UMW also? Not that it matters, just curious I guess.

If I use the ******** prepaid VISA card, do I need to wait for my real card to arrive in the mail first before I can deposit on Merge?
