I just did it tonight. Couldn't be easier. On from Cashier on Minted select WU and the amount. It will create a pending deposit, gives you instructions, and asks for the MTC Number from WU.
SO I went to WU website. They make you create an account.
In my case they needed to call my home phone and automated voice provided a pin to activate my account. WU said this is a one time only ID check.
With that out of the way it was point and click. From WU account paged clicked "Send money" Selected the country and entered name of person (both provided by Minted). Minted also provided an address but there was nowhere to put it on WU website. WU indicated the person could pick up money at any WU in the country.
[b]One caution. There is an option for "pay out" in USD or local currency (scroll down to see it). You need to select USD it defaults to local currency. Cost $12 to pay by CC. Cost $8 to pay by savings/checking (but it takes 3 days to clear). I chose CC, $200 deposit. WU hit me for $212.
From there the deposit went quick.
About 1 minute later got an email from WU that money had been wired and was ready for pickup.
I entered the MTC Number on Minted deposit page.
About 2 minutes later (yeah 2 minutes) I got another email from WU that money had been picked up.
About 10 minutes later I got an email from Minted that my account had been credited $200.
Logged into casino and there it was in the lobby.
Easiest poker deposit I have done in a long time. WU is the way to go.
