eureka! success. i don't know what happened with my first wu attempt, but the second try went though in seconds. i wish i knew what the problem was if for no other reason than to try and spare someone else the hassle i've gone through trying to deposit the first time. can't wait to play again.

For anyone looking to deposit on rpm i was able to use western union online to deposit the fee seemed a little higher than in person to use the transfer in minutes option but it was fairly quick.

1. go to western union online and make an account
2. go to send your rpm cashier and open it and put deposit with cash transfer
3. go to where it says transfer to person , enter the info and name rpm gives you and it will have a place to check send in us dollars obv chec kthat.
enter your debit card info and complete.
4. go to rpm cashier and your money control number they give you and you should have funds in 15 mins

thanks for the suggestions. do i just ask support for an invite for umw? this seems like the quckest way to make a withdrawal from what i've read so far?

I've read a couple of different things about this. One person said they were told that they had to have made a deposit prior to getting an invite. Another said support made no such stipulation.

Personally, I've made a deposit prior to The Demise so support gave me an invite no questions asked.

As far as being the quickest, I would imagine that this is true. However, there's a premium to be paid. QuickTender/UMW charges a $30 fee to go from the wallet to your bank account, while RPM will charge you $15 for a check. QT/UMW, I believe, sends out their withdrawals via Bank Wire (I may have misread this on their site) and your personal bank may or may not charge a fee for an incoming wire.

My $0.02

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.

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.
