Western Union Casinos

Western Union is a big name in the financial services sector and for its foundation we go back to the 19^th century to the year 1851. Originally started as a telegraph company Western Union grew rapidly and bought out smaller companies at a fast pace. Now Western Union is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and reports yearly revenues topping $5 billion. Its core business is facilitating person-to-person money transfers from and to over 386,000 physical locations throughout the world. It’s also a popular payment method for online gamblers, as Western Union casinos accept payments from all over the world. 

Western Union offers a large number of payment options, but the easiest way to transfer money to a Western Union casino is in person to the bank account of the casino. Only two things are important: the banking details of the online casino and finding a nearby Western Union agent location. 

The best way to find out the banking details of the Western Union casino you picked is to contact the support staff. Log in to your Western Union casino account and select the option “live chat”. You then explain you want to make a Western Union money transfer and the casino clerk will tell you the exact course of business. Most Western Union casinos have pre-filled forms with the banking details already printed on them. You can complete this form with your personal details (name and address) and the amount you want to deposit. Once you have this form you are ready to go to a nearby Western Union agent location.   

To make a payment to a Western Union casino you don’t have to register an account. You don’t even need to show your ID. You take the cash you want to deposit and walk to the nearest Western Union agent location. In the US alone there are over 46,000 Western Union agent locations.

The fees you pay when depositing funds to a Western Union casino can vary depending on the country you live in and the amount you deposit. At most Western Union casinos the financial institution of the online casino pays for the transfer fees when the deposit exceeds a certain amount (usually around $250). When the amount is lower or the Western Union casino doesn’t cover the transaction costs you can calculate the fees beforehand using this Western Union price estimation tool. The fees charged for a transaction usually are between $15 and $25. In general a deposit to a Western Union casino takes between 2 to 5 business days to appear in your casino account.
