Would like to make another small depsoit this weekend, my only other option would be a Visa GC, but not sure if anyone of them work.
I made my initial deposit with Western Union. I deposited a grand, it wound up costing $1,058, and ACR covered the fees (in other words, I had $1,058 in my account when the money went in). I believe if you deposit more than $300 they cover the fees for initial deposits (but not withdrawals, which is why I withdraw by check). I have not deposited since then (extremely mild brag) so I don't know what their policy is to covering fees on re-deposits.
If by "weird" you mean "I have to send the money to a random person with a crazy name in the middle of nowhere", the answer is, yes, but that's the way it is with online poker in the US right now. I have no reason to suspect they're going to use this process to steal my money though, as ACR has been very forthright and awesome with customer service and resolving whatever mild disputes I have had. They are just forced to navigate roadblocks with regard to putting money on the site and sending it back out, due to things out of their control.

Also, I emailed about rakeback, and never got any replies. ANyone else have this problem?
I joined through a rakeback affiliate so I was signed up immediately when I started. What did you e-mail them about?
