So i just went to the store and purchased a Netspend card. I put some money on the card, planning to go home and activate it and try to deposit to Bovada. Now i wasnt expecting for the deposit to Bovada to go through, i was just hoping it would. If it didnt work, oh well, i could just use the card for shit i needed to spend money on.

Now what i definitely was not expecting was that the activation for my Netspend account would send me into crazy town. First i tried to activate it online, It said it could not be done at this time and i needed to call customer service, so i did. After waiting for 10-15 minutes i finally spoke with someone who i could barely understand. I gave her all my information to activate it and after being put on hold she told me she could not activate the card at this time and that i needed to FAX my ID and SS card.. I asked her why and she said there was a block on my account... Why the hell is there a block on my account? I have never used Netspend before and i just bought the card like an hour ago....

I got her to clarify like 3 times that it needed to be FAX'd in. I couldnt scan it she said i needed to FAX the documents.. They really expect people to just have easy access to a FAX machine? I could easily scan the documents and send them, this is just really ridiculous and absurd and i am very ticked right now..

I am about to call back and talk to someone else that i can actually understand maybe even try to speak with a supervisor.. idk...

I didnt want to make another post for this.. But sometimes the forums wont let me edit my post, so...

EDIT: As yall could tell i was very aggrivated lol. But i called them back and talked to someone else and he told me i could take a picture or scan the documents and send them in. But it is going to take 6-8 hours for them to verify the documents -.-

Lets hope that the card works to deposit to Bovada later on tonight. Woohoo :D

Conclusion of Netspend.

Buy the card in stores. Activate it online. If it says you need to call them to activate it do so. If they say you need to send in a Goverment issued ID and SS card, do so. It will take a few hours to get verified then you will have to call back the customer service number and go through a about 10 - 15 minutes of useful information and setup of your debit card.

It worked for Bovada :]

Thanks for that info Aces but besides for the fact that my debit card has never worked for online poker since BF, I wouldnt really want to use my bank debit card online where i keep most of my money. x D

Thanks though!

Agreed with Ace my visa debit card works like a charm for depositing...also side note I keep expendable money in that account like 1k-1.5k just incase someone does get my debit card info...keep bulk of money I suggest this to you all in a credit union, they always have better interest rates then your typical bank. Lol I understand the fear that someone would get into your account, but sending photo id and ss card over fax to people you don't know now that sounds risky. Anyway welcome to Bovada the fishings great!
