Hello all been playing on ACR for just about the whole time they have been open. I Remember getting the phone call when they first opened up. Hello Mr short they said, we wanted to tell you about the next big card room. I guess they bought out doyles room or something because that is where they told me they got my info.

Well after making countless of 110 dollar payment fees to cash out via western union when I find it odd the most it has ever cost me to send money to them was maybe 15 dollars depending on the time of the day.

If your wondering why I did not just us CC and cash out through check. They would not let me. They said due to some filter system that runs checks I was deemed a cash only player. Could not use CC or any method other than money transfer to deposit. Another thing I will never understand, I was allowed to use my card for maybe two months of the sites first launch then boom no more. Never used diff card or anything oh well.

So about a week ago I requested my name in the cashier window, which is a big improvement on having to contact support for money transfer deposit.

I got my name went to the store sent the money. Got home entered my mtcn waited ten min checked it said blocked. Which was odd never have seen that before. So the system has done this before most the time resubmit a few mintues later it goes through. Not the case this time.

I contact support they tell me what I was guessing I needed to call western union. But most the time I have to call its to fix something the agent mis entered or to correct the what currency the money was sent in. But this time they said I needed to call and say my friend was having trouble picking up the money. So I was told to pretty much call and lie to the agent so the
funds could be picked up. So when I called which is a pain in the butt by the way takes at least 20 min to get stuff taken care of on the phone with western union. I give them my info, the agent then says please hold. Gets back on tells me sir your money transfer is canceled you need to go back and pick your money up. You are no longer allowed to use any of our services ever If you have questions I can transfer you to our restrictions department. Well yes I have questions and please do. Bottom line was told this Mr Short you have many transfers out of united states to many other countries around the world. I Say something smart at this point like yes I am a well rounded aristocrat. Get no laughs from them. Then proceed to explain to me how many online gambling websites use similar forms of money transfers to get money onto their sites. I knew the rest of that story so I said ty. They said TY sir but YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE WESTERN UNION FOR ANY PURPOSE EVER EVER EVER. WTF.

Im chatting with support while this is going on explain what has happened all they care to know is how they found out. I explained how I was a cash only player and now have no way to deposit or withdraw now. I also explained how I was banned from western union now. Pretty much was told this was none there concern.

I know nothing will come of this just wanted the support of winning to know I have been playing on your network since it opened. Paid to much money to think about in fees for deposits and withdraws. Paid ten times that in rake to the beast which I never get a piece of. Due to the fact I have a life and family I remember when the site first opened and the beast for debuted the same guy won it like 7 months in a row. Anywho ACR I have no way to deposit now banned from western union for life ACR support could care less. GG ACR Peace

I really just feel like this is bad business ethic but hey that could be just me.

Sorry to hear, you may want to check out the Netspend prepaid cards now. Not as effective as WU but it does the trick. Anyways can you give up an idea how many WU transfers you were making? So the rest of us can attempt to avoid this from happening?

I know that a lot of people get banned from using Western Union for making a lot of transfers overseas. It's not all just poker related. They seem to be really concerned about money laundering. They've probably gotten threats from the government and don't want to get shutdown like has happened to other wallets.

Didn't I read somewhere in these threads that some players are using bitcoins at WPN? If they are, maybe using bitcoins might help your situation.

Yes I have been sending or receiving about four times a month. Since about the start of site. with maybe month here and there with no activity. Also I already own a netspend card I did not think they would let me use it since I am set up as a cash only player.

Make an account with 5 Dimes sports book and deposit with Bit Coin. Not only can you cash out an unlimited amount in minutes or hours, but you can also transfer money between WPN, EPN, and the 5 Dimes poker room within seconds. You'll still be able to play all of the same games and even get 27% rakeback. The BTC option doesn't show up so you'll need to email them. The minimum deposit is $100 and there is no maximum.

If you're not familiar w/ BTC there is tons of info on the forums.

Ok TY very much I will look into it. I never tried btc before I always thought it was a scam. But if I can transfer to three sites from that one place I am in. I looked at it and I am assuming that the shark tank room is WPN network.

OP,

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to deposit via MG for Sunday mtts and for the hi-5 series. Guess I will find another option now.

I am pretty sure Money gram will be fine I have never had a issue using them unless I was trying to send money online. But the times I have used them in the past at a agent location. I never ran into any sort of problems.

Both options are fine as long as you don't use them a ton for both deposits and withdraws.

The only downfall to depositing with a CC compared to using western union or moneygram is that with CC you have a 72 hour wait period before you are able to transfer funds but if you use western union or moneygram their is no wait time.
But i have made over 10 deposits using western union or moneygram but i have tended to switch between the two of them and never use the same one over again.

So my question is .... what happens to his $?

I feel like if it was on a site like Bovada they would work with you.

I am a NY player (and I hope there are others) that wonder.... what if.. what if I ship the 100k and all of a sudden have 25-30k in my account>?

What am I suppose to do to get this cash? Better yet, ship the 400k in a month, get 80k... I am allowed 1k WU max per week... 80 weeks to get paid? no thanks.

I wonder what they would do?!

Sounds like its time to take a vaca. Fly to where ACR is located and carry out cash???
