Need help with full tilt poker.....I wanted to deposit $50 with this visa gift card my friend gave me but I don't know if it is allowed or if it is smart to do. Since i cant get any response from full tilt poker except for them telling me that you must open an e passport account, which i already know. So i must turn to the forums for help has anyone made a deposit with Visa gift card on full tilt if so what happened? ............I just don't want to waste my gift card cause if it does not work then I lose 50$

You won't lose the $50 if it doesn't work. It will simply decline the transaction. What kind of Visa gift card is it? It makes a difference, because some will work, and some will not.

I say just give it a try. The worst thing that can happen is the bank will decline the transaction. Then you'll just have an extra $50 spending money (wee! New shoes, anyone?

).

If it doesn't work, use the gift card to buy a prepaid card that will.

hey i used to do the gift card thing 2 man but unfortunatley they stopped allowing them to follow thru due to the fact that anybody underage can just go and buy 1 and play poker which i was in fact guilty of 3 years ago but yea they pretty much wont accept any of them srry man

I actually had no trouble funding my Full Tilt account with my Wells Fargo visa debit card (ran it as a credit card). Hope that helps someone.

Thats exactly why I am very reluctant to play real money with these sites. You never know who has access (or lack of in your case)to your money. I am still not convinced on the "safety" of these sites. I'll stick to Brick and Mortar.

But all the pokerstars on tv play on these sites.. how can it not be safe! lol

i have been putting real money on fulltilt for a while now (via debit card) i have nvr had any complaints( besides i always seem tol lose money due to lack of withdrawl methods) but i have found out that the best way to go now is epassporte because if u deposit 1 time with this method u may also withdraw str8 back into ur account via epassporte...real convienant
