prepaid visa card problem

Every time i go to use my prepaid visa card that i bought from walmart for any poker site out there it keeps denying my my card. I dont have another card so i need to figure out what the problem is. could anyone help...? Thanks

Most prepaid cards will not be accepted by poker sites. The one that seems to work is the VISA All Access card. You can find VISA All Access online or at some stores. I last used one a couple of years ago. I found a gas station that was selling them.

Good luck. This will continue to be a problem until US laws change.

I use one of the pre paid Visas for depositing on UB, FT, Carbon, and a few others. I've had no problems with it. First off, if you've only put the amount you are depositing on the card, you need to check the balance. I think the first time you load it, they take out a few charges that might be making it deny when you try it. Hope this helps.

all acess only, I think it has a green dot on it. And it is really expensive!!

The Visa I use is issued through Green Dot. It's not expensive though. It cost me $3 to load it no matter if I put $10 on it or $500. And it works at all sites that accept Visa.

yea ive tried a few of the prepaid cards like vanilla visa and such...i kno on FTP you cannot use those because they are to be spent in the USA...just open a bank account depending on where you live and make a deposit thru a debit or credit card

Many VISA cards say in small print..."for U.S. purchases only"...others can be used outside our borders and online...read the requirements and you should find the right card...hope that helps!

I'm in the UK and my visa debit card has worked for every transaction on every poker site, but today it won't work on any, and i have plenty cash on it

I just talked to FTP support and they said the visa servers are down and MasterCard put a stop to all online gaming charges

If you get the All Access Visa from Netspend it cost 9.95 for the card in my area. In the Big Apple they ask for your id. It cost $2 to reload and in 3 weeks they send you a card with your name. I have used it at a number of poker sites and only had a problem once when the system was down. As someone mention in a earlier post you need to add a dollar because they take a dollar per tranaction. If you are depositing $50 have $51 on the card

i can't deposit on Bodog because of the restrictions. Even though I am a Canadian depositing to a Canadian site, I am blocked because of US law. Ridiculous. You would think Visa/MC would have subsidiaries in foreign countries to avoid precisely this problem.
