Pre-loaded visa card

#1 28th June 2011, 4:10 AM

Can anyone suggest a international pre-load visa card that I can use online for Merge network ? .. and or other poker sites. I am running into problems with the pre loaded cards

You're probably going to have to just use WU if you want money on Merge.

Ok Ty..

I am a little upset at Lock right now. I have attempted several times to deposit money and sent several emails and have YET to receive one back.. ..

At any rate thank you

Just go deposit through Lock's Casino. You can use an American credit card through there to buy a gift card and then transfer the funds to the poker room.

i use a netspend prepaid card at sportsbook and have never had a problem

I have no idea how one would go about depositing at all these days. I imagine Visa won't work because Visa doesn't like online poker. Try Mastercard, those seem to have the highest success rate.

After that, you will probably have to look into an e-wallet sort of deal. Those you might have more luck with your pre-paid cards.

how much do they cost in fees?

Here, gift cards that can be purchased at the post office cost about 6.75% premium to activate. After that they can be used on anything.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about restrictions on cashing out, because nearly every site out there makes cashouts a nightmare.

Better yet > MasterCardGiftCard, which come in $25, $50, $100, & $200 (I believe it's ~4.5% charge on the $100 card at time of purchase). Very simple/easy to use for online poker sites.

I haven't seen the $200 MasterCard gift cards, but the $25, $50 and $100 are readily available at check cashing places.

Not sure whether you can cash out to a gift card. Probably not. And they do come with expiry dates.

Nope, can't cashout on a GiftCard. They're available at all kinds of places, ie. 7/11, ShoppersDrugMart, Safeway, etc.

Most sites I've checked don't process MasterCard for US players. Many offer Visa. I've been able to deposit onto PICCLub with my MC, and UMW (before it shut down) with my Visa, but haven't had any luck depositing on sites directly. I've heard Lock Casino is good at getting your money on via CC. I was under the impression that prepaids generally don't work anymore...... is this not the case?

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I purchased a wal-mart money card " Visa " The initial temp card number did not work. However, once I received the actual card it worked fine on the Merge. Just FYI..

*** use at your own risk !! but mine did work..

I have a "Netspend Visa pre-paid card" and i tried it on the Everleaf network and was rejected big time,lol . Then i went to my old faithful and tried it at Bodog and it went through with no problem. Next i will try it on Merge, as for Pic-club, they wouldn't take it only because i still need to fax them back the cc auth form
