MoneyGram is an excellent poker deposit method that is available to US players and other members worldwide as a way of making a deposit into your online poker account. Using a Money Gram poker site, you can deposit to your poker account paying cash from one of their convenient locations around the United States and worldwide. This poker deposit method is similar to using Western Union to deposit online.
In order to deposit to a MoneyGram poker site you will first need to find a poker room accepting this method, which we have listed below for you. Making a deposit with MoneyGram is a slightly different than most other poker deposit methods in that you will need to contact the poker site directly to get the information to complete the transfer. This can be done via email or is sometimes available directly through the poker cashier. Once you have the transfer information for the poker site, you can use this information to initiate the funds transfer to their account. Simply visit a Money Gram accepted location and fill out the forms with the information provided to you from the poker room, along with the deposit amount you are sending to the site. As a side benefit, poker players can now deposit to a MoneyGram accepted poker room by visiting the new online website for MoneyGram customers. The eMoneyGram provides you with the same benefits and guaranteed service as the local dealers without the trip to their stores.
Once you have completed the necessary forms, the agent will provide you with a reference number as a record of the transaction. You should hang onto this number in the case that the poker room does not receive your deposit or needs further confirmation on the funds sent to the account. Once the MoneyGram poker room has received your transfer, the funds will become immediately available in your poker account and can be used to play. Unfortunately Money Gram can’t be used for withdrawals however there are a number of easy withdrawal methods such as paper check that can be used instead.
In terms of fees for using Money Gram transfer, they are entirely dependant on which country you are based in and where you are sending the funds. As a rough guide the service usually costs anywhere between $1-$5 per $100 sent to the poker site. Money Gram will also perform a currency exchange automatically for funds sent outside of local currency, for which a nominal commission on regular exchange rates may be charged. In most cases, the poker sites will reimburse your MoneyGram fees if your deposit amount is over $100.
