I used to play before black friday on PS and FT but have not played online since. Recently decided to start back up again. I have an account on Carbon but have had troubles depositing.

First, I tried the old Debit Card method.. only to have it denied and a Hold put on my card (ugh). :eek:

Secondly, I went looking for a visa Prepaid card and although several stores in my area were mentioned as sites to sell according to the online site, none actually sell them. :confused:

Third, I found a MoneyGram card at a local store and after being told by Carbon chat, it would only take 40-45 minutes to have the money on my account once activated, I went back to the store to buy the MG card. Turns out the store could not sell me the card. The cash register would not allow it. :mad:

Fourth, I spoke to a friend who used to work for Radio Shack for many years and they told me that Vermont wont allow such transactions. Only official banks can issue Prepaid cards in Vermont.

Does anyone have any advice on what's the best way to go about depositing money to my account?

I don't know if Carbon accept neteller or skrill, or similar organizations but if they do, it is fairly simple (and quick) to upload some $$ from your Debit Card to them and then transfer it to Carbon from there.

Neither Netteller nor Skrill is available in the US. :(

You need to find a Netspend prepaid Visa. It's kind of hard to believe Vermont won't allow you to buy prepaid credit cards for international online purchasing.

Wasn't aware of that.

Thanks, just in case I ever move to the US, I'll remember that. :)

My latest research says I need a Prepaid International Visa Card as.... without the International designation, it's hit or miss. I'll take a look at the Netspend Visa next. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Months ago I tried to deposit on carbon for the hell of it, and my card transaction was on hold, my bank called me and asked what it was for ... I told them an online transaction and they cancelled my card and issued me another one.


Will not try it again!

But if you want to deposit, WU or MG works.

I had a "hold" put on my Debit card as well when I tried to deposit. I had to go down to the bank itself and straighten it out. Was not happy with my bank but I guess it isn't their fault. They are just following the law as set by the Feds.

MoneyGram is not an option here in Vermont. Stores have them but are not allowed by law to sell them I'm told. Most stores don't even know they can't sell them until they try to ring them up and the transaction is denied. Calling the number on the MG card does no good.

I am still reading and studying to get back into the game but am getting itchy to test out my skills :(

My understanding is.. the prepaid Visa has to be "International". Without the "International" designation... it's a crap shoot as to if it works or not. I'm still told Western Union will work for most sites including Carbon. I didn't bother. Instead I built up a small bankroll using the World Cup freerolls!

I live in the US and I have a Skrill account just need to send them proof of ID and mailing address, sites like Carbon, Betonline, Bovada, and Goldbarcasino all accept my payments. I also use live help and have them manually process a transaction that's the easiest way.:congrats:

In which state do you live?
