Because, frankly, they’re a pain for us to deal with.

When dealing with their Australian online channel, Western Union only allow us to transfer up to $999 AUD in any 60 day period, which isn’t anywhere near enough to pay out the volume of prizes we handle. Also, they only offer payment to a fraction of the counties they can send payment to.

So, all Western Union payments are made manually, which takes a lot of writing, walking, and waiting.

It’s not all bad though — Western Union are extremely reliable and will always deliver your payment within 10 working days.
