What depositing methods do people use?

Im considering either getting a mastercard or a visa, does anyone use either of these on bodog? Does anyone know what debit/credit cards work on bodog?


thank you

epassporte might be the only way to go if your an american, but please be carefull with these online poker sites.

i just used my bank account and it worked. just cant put money back into it. best thing about that was, i lost my shirt on football and it took them a month the get the money, but i didnt close my account in time.

Unfortunately, I had to run to Western Union the other day and pay $80 to have $1,500 deposited on Full Tilt. That is absolutely the quickest way. If you want to deposit for free, you will have to wait probably weeks and/or months via epassporte.

How would I go about depositing, using western union? Wold I have to call Bodog first?

I don't play on Full Tilt because the last cashout I had took ONE MONTH (check by mail). Screw that. See if they accept MoneyGram. You can send any amount up to $2500 ($50 minimum) for a $9.95 fee. The Western Union fee is VERY HIGH.

I loaded up today on Stars using MoneyGram and it took three hours. It would have been quicker but the amount I specified in my initial request was different than what I actually sent. If they had been matching it would have been completed automatically within 30 minutes. MoneyGram locations are all over the United States. There are five within a few miles of my house. I did it at Albertson's.

For shits and giggles I bought a few $30 Visa Gift2Go cards from Walgreens the other night. They work on Stars and BoDog. There are other Visa gift cards from other companies -- none of them I know of work. Look specifically for Gift2Go. You can get them in $30, $50, and $100 increments in the stores. You can get them up to $250 at their Website, Gift2Go - Visa Gift Cards. I'm not spamming here, just trying to help my fellow Americans beat the Man.

If you are going to send more than $150, you will save money with MoneyGram. It's a flat fee of $9.95 up to $2,500. Again, Western Union will absolutely rape you. Those clowns are stuck in 1954.

I just went through the PS process for a prepaid Visa. PS was offering the prepaid thing in my deposit options, so I gave t a try, being thoroughly PISSED with the whole ePassporte bs. It works like a charm! The load was fast, only cost 4% plus .50 abd the whole transaction was done in minutes.

I don't like the 4%+.50 fee. Neteller was higher than that (at least for instaCash) and Stars always covered it. I don't know why they haven't provisioned for it on payTru.

If you use a Visa or MasterCard in the States to make deposits and withdrawals from any online gambling site, you are risking having your account closed by the financial institution which underwrites your card. Bill Frist's piggyback bill to the Port Security Act specifically targets banks and charge card companies which knowingly participate in customer transactions with gambling sites. I would be very hesitant to conduct business on my personal credit card.

While the fees are higher than I previously enjoyed with the now-offlimits NETeller service, I have used epassporte to fund my Full Tilt account for about six weeks now. I have had no problems with getting funds into or out of my poker account. Not sure why some other posters here have had problems. My deposits have been transacted within minutes and my withdrawals have arrived back into my checking account within three business days.

As far as the bank is concerned, I'm doing business with epassporte, which could be funding my transactions with any company on the internet. I could be buying lampshades and ostrich feathers, for all they care. They aren't going to pry for fear of violating my privacy. They are just as afraid of being litigated against for customer privacy issues as they are of being busted by the Justice Department.

FYI, the payTru Visa can also be used to buy lampshades and ostrich feathers. It can be used at any POS or ATM. They still haven't settled the enforcement of the Safe Ports Act as far as online gambling is concerned, and there is some speculation that it may never. Even if it does, with Neteller out of the picture now they will no doubt target ePassporte, the only remaining e-wallet for those of us in the USA to use on Stars.

I just hope those ePassporte guys don't ever come to visit the States. All it takes is stepping off of a plane, and the Feds got ya!

I was planning on using my debit card on Sportsbookpoker.com , which is a new site I found thanks to beathefish.com. They claim to be the only poker site that allows US credit cards, But you are saying that your bank will close your account if they found out? Epassporte was of no help to me and I am down to this or I guess Moneygram. This crap stinks and its getting me very frustrated .

Epassporte looks like a dead end. I made one deposit without a problem about a month ago. I just tried it again and ALL 4 of my credit cards were declined. Looks like I'm back on the rail for a while.

PS. Nice avatar Nitram. You look very slippery.

i have been using click2pay for 2 years now not sure how long it is going to still work in the u.s so i may have to resort to using prepaid phone cards or some other form of deposit method ...would like to here more input for other thanks everyone...

Prepaid Visa: www.allaccessgift.com (verified to work on Stars, FT, UB)

All access didn't work for me at Poker Stars. Any of the green dot gift cards won't work for poker sites.

What does work is the Gift to Go cards. You can get them at Wallgreens drugstores or online as the other poster suggested. The cards have a yellow background and everyone I've gotten have worked for me.

I have heard that All Access does work for some people, it didn't work for me though so I thought I'd pipe up and throw doubt on that one.

For the all access cards you have to "register" them on their site for use via phone or internet. Perhaps that was the issue?

all access worked for pokerstars and UB.. you MUST go to the website and tie the card to your name and address first though, its quick and easy and is the only way you can use it for phone and internet purchases.

Ive used nucharge @ bodog and it works well. You buy a phone card with youre credit card, and bodog turns it into cash. u have to buy at least a $100 card. and IE7 wont display nucharge for me, but I have no problem with mozilla firefox.

So do they give you back $500 calling cards?


BTW These LAWS SUCK!

giftcards.com

virtual visa... takes 1 day to get it in email. $2 for it. easy.

visa all access works too. (this is NOT a greendot card)

If you think about it it costs you nothing if you make a big deposite like you did.
All this sites have reload bounses so you got more then the $80 it cost you to send the money.

all access $25 cards work for sure on pokerstars...

I'm in America and I play on Full tilt. I use mywebatm.com to get my funds. its a way to transfer ur money from ur bank account to mywebatm then to your poker site. Not sure if it works for bodogs, just figured to mention it it could be worth a try.

I HAVE BEEN USING THEM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEY SEEM TO BE FRADUALANT. THEY HAVE MY ACCOUNT ON HOLD SINCE 4/23 AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE HANDLED BY A SUPERVISOR AND THEY HAVENT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONECALLS THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. SINCE THEN, FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS WHEN I CALLED I WOULD GET NOTHING BUT A MESSAGE SAYING THEY ARE HAVING TECHINICAL DIFFICULTIES. I HAVE ALSO SENT 6 EMAILS AND THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ANY OF THEM. UNTIL NOW, JUST THIS WEEK I HAVE SPOKEN TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THE SAME THING I WAS TOLD WHEN I GOT THROUGH TO SOMEONE A MONTH AGO. IM TRANSFERRING IT OVER TO A SUPERVISOR AND THEY WILL RESPOND IN 24 HOURS. IVE SPOKE TO SOMEONE 3 DAYS IN A ROW NOW AND HAVE NOT RECIEVED A PHONECALL BACK FROM A SUPERVISOR. MY MONEY IS STUCK ON THE CARD. CANT WITHDRAW FROM AN ATM OR DEPOSIT INTO MY FULL TILT POKER ACCOUNT. I DONT KNOW WHY FULL TILT IS STILL AFFILIATED WITH THEM.

So how do people cash out from PS in the US?

You can cash out thru ePassporte if you have an account with them or the payTru prepaid visa. I have used both wethods, and they work. BTW, it's a lot easier to cash out thru ePass than it is to deposit.

I've used my debit and credit cards before and they worked fine on FullTilt.

Gift cards are out now most banks I have check dont even let you use gift cards to deposit money to any site. Doing this cause me 2 days of calls just to get my card active again

Yep - said in another thread I was on a conference call about a month ago which included fraud management from most major credit card companies - they all agreed that they would be auto-blocking epassporte transactions. We are doing it as well.

The prepaid visa on pokerstars works for now - you need to get money in while you can though. Bank of America is already blocking those - the rest of the credit card companies will catch on soon.

(if you pm me I will tell you which ones still work lol)
