can also confirm moneygram is excellent. money was available in 10minutes in my account. was charged $10 for the deposit and bovada credited me $20 to cover the fees.
WU might have higher deposit tho, not sure... MG was like $900 iirc
I always send my WU deposits online. There is a drop-down box where you choose what currency you want the receiver to pickup, USD or local. The money is always in my acct in mins. I have never had a problem depositing into bovada thru WU.
Someone posted earlier that there is a blackout for WU deposits between 4pm-midnight. This is true, but only on Saturdays. Whenever I run into this I just ask the bovada rep to get supervisor approval to put the funds into my bovada acct anyway and they always do. They just have to read me some disclaimer over the phone about if they don't receive the funds from WU blah blah blah.
Idk why people think there is such a problem depositing with WU. Its simple, call bovada and get receivers name, go to WU website to send the cash to bovada, call bovada with mtcn, watch funds appear in bovada acct in mins. Easy game and never have to leave the house .
