Official Rosarito Thread - Page 21

Is that an annual fee?

What's the typical waiting time to cross from MX to US (pedestrian or by car)? It used to be a half hour or less on foot, but that was quite a while ago.

I spelled it wrong, it's Sentri Pass. So it looks like $122 per person is good for 5 years:

At the morning times when everyone is going to work, it can take up to 2-3 hours to cross back into the States, by car or foot.

I live in Las Vegas, but I've considered moving to San Diego and commuting to TJ or Rosarito to play online poker a couple of times a week.

I have only crossed once recently from MX to US, it took an hour and 20 minutes on a Saturday at 10 PM

Has anyone set up an account with Pinnacle Sportsbook yet? Any sportsbettors down there? I'm not a poker grinder, just sports.

Took me 2 days to get my pinnacle account back open... Had to send in the same thing I sent to stars to prove change of country.

Caliente is good for recreational betting. I do high volume and the lines/vig make a huge difference over the long run.

Damn...when I came back from my first visit, I'd say it was about 30 minutes, that was on Tuesday at around 6PM.

BTW, what cellphone company do you use? I got a Tellcell prepaid phone but I don't think there was any "contract" involved.

Has anyone done a) eCheck from Stars to Mexican bank or b) wire from Mexican bank to US bank...

Are there issues and/or fees associated with either transaction?

Theres always fees with Wires. Standard fee is usually 35 dollars.

eChecks are usually free, but I havn't done one personally from stars to my mexi account.

Maybe this belongs in MX banking thread, but does MB require any docs beyond what PS requires?

MB has been way worse for me than PS. I'm still waiting to have may account verification transfer from my Mexican bank be received. I sent it on 9/23 and final received an email today saying they will credit it in 2 business day, sorry for the delay. And address verification is a lot of fun too. Mostly because their integrated support system takes forever. I can't find an email address for them.

sorry if covered already, but if you are maintaining a place in the states (sounds like a lot of rosarito people are) slingbox is good option for tubes
