I have the same problem. I use to play at Fulltilt and bodog. I am still at Bovada (formerly Bodog). When Black Friday came and FT was shut down and I still had money in my account, I paniced! So I thought Bodog was next so I took all my money out of Bodog. Now of course, my old cc doesn't work there. I still play there for free and chatting with some players, they say netspend cards will work there sometimes but I have not tried it.

before black friday I used gift cards. They had to be International but most say US Only. After Black friday, I couldnt find any international gift cards, So I had to use Western union.
This is a guess on my part but I think some banking regulations changed for international transaction.

I do not think any gift cards currently work on sites. I have heard, not tried it myself, that the green dot cards work, not the reload packs you buy in a store, but he ones you actually get in the mail with your name on it. It seems to be off and on though from threads I have been reading

I was curious to this. Are they the gift cards or the green dot card where you can reload and have direct deposit to them? Because I know the venial visa cards don't work for international transactions, but the green dot card is more like a debit card where you can use it a atm and have direct deposit.

As far as the gift cards go....... I was in search of one and finally read the fine print even on the ones that don't say Us use only...... It stated as of April 2012 it is illegal to use gift cards for international purposes..... so i didn't buy it..... It seemed kind of odd because the package states "perfect for online gaming" they must be talking about regular games not poker......

However, if you have a Chase account you can call the fraud prevention line and have the International Purchase hold temporarily removed to complete your deposit.
The best way to do this is try and deposit... let it decline it and make sure you write down the processing companies name when it is declining. Then call the fraud department and tell them you are trying to make a purchase on for the exact amount including the processing fee from the "processing company name" and ask them to remove the hold so you can complete your purchase. I have made deposits at Bovada this way.

Hope that helps

To anyone having problem depositing since Black Friday i have worked through these problems already, really very easy Cake Network,ACR,and really every other one i have used Net Spend,Ace Elite Net Spend AffIliate ,Account Now. Most prepaid cards only let you use in us market accept these 3 i know for sure work,after about 20-30 times depositing every now and then it will lock after that then just instant transfer to Ace or vice versa for free,few days the other will begin to work again they are out of texas, you can use them internationally {unlike GREEN DOT CARDS} like wall mart or any of there cards will not work only american market. ever since 911 and terriost act and of course Black Friday. You can put money on- get this Speedway,Super Americas,CVS,HEB grocery FREE,wallgreens, ,and money gram,or western union's $3.99. oh yeah gas station at Wall Mart's trust me it works, tell them David Lane refered you. if you dont mind.ty

This thread needs to be updated because a new law went through i believe in march where most giftcards no longer accept international purchases. By using a giftcard on an online gambling site, like bovada, carbon poker, ect. The card needs to accept international purchases. And after the law passed in march i don't believe any do.

I thought Green dot would work i have one of those cards. But just went to there website and it says it cannot be used for online gambling.

So there are a lot of posts on this thread that were posted before this law went into affect, meaning the cards worked then but don't now. So it should be updated so new people looking for answers are not misleaded.

I am currrectly trying to find a card to use for carbon poker, and i have had no luck, If some finds one that works for Bovada and carbon poker it would be much appreciated.

Can i use western Union for carbon? how much does it cost, and whats the min you can put on there.?

I gotta say this new law makes things really difficult for me. Why can't i juse use a card!. lol thanks

The reason they don't take the gift cards are because you have to use a card with your name and billing address attached to it. Gift cards do not have that option. I use a green dot prepaid card for depositing, but make sure it's a Visa prepaid card, Master card will not work. Hope this helps.

hello everyone!

this is my first post so howdy! Just a recent update for everyone, on full flush you can use the green dot visas. you have to wait for your personalized one to come in the mail but once it arrives and you activate it you can make a deposit on full flush
