Debit Cards to Deposit

[thielcats]

This might seem like a dumb question but do Debit Cards still work on poker sites?

Not for US players they don't. If you find one that does (or someone claims theirs does), then it's either a lie, a fluke and/or is in the 0.0000000001% that hasn't been blocked yet. But for the US masses, no, personal debit cards do not work.

I used mine at bodog in Feb.The bank statement don't say "poker site".It reads "e consultant"or something like that.I'm sure it'll work still,if not the worst that will happen is they refuse it.Give it a shot.

Ahh yes, thanks for that, forgot about it in my list. I'll update that now.

So E-checks and Moneygram are basically the only ways a Amercian player can buy in?

It's simple.Now let me get out my crayon and draw you a picture so you may understand.

1.Go to poker site you wish to deposit at.

2.Under methods of deposit select credit card.

3.Enter your number.

4.If it works,then it works.

5.If it don't then it don't.

Easy as 1,2,3,4,and 5.

are you sure its a debit card? not a credit card?

debit= typing in your personal identification number (PIN)

you don't have to use your pin number for all debit transactions and the poker sites don't ask for it . I use my debit card to deposit at bodog and pokerstars.

I am not sure if this is going to be much help as i'm an Aussie and dont have the dilema you US players have,
There are two types of debit cards,
One uses a PIN number which as far as I know can't be used on the Internet, as it does not have a card verification number.
And then there is a visa or mastercard debit card which is linked to the same account as your PIN Number card, but has the card verification number, which is required to make transactions on the Internet. This number is sometimes refered to as a ccv number (credit card verification Number)
The other thing you need to know is that Visa And Mastercard do not allow you to be paid (as in winnings from poker) into these cards.
I hope this has helped.

well nvm then, dont listen to me

i use the visa all access non reloadable $50 gift card for my deposits, so i dont run into the problem.

No site, even before the laws went into effect took my credit card. I use either all access visa or my bank debit card. Not that I actually deposit much money online anymore. Actually pokerstars just gave me back the online echeck option also.I used it for depositing to play the ccop.

Yeah cards still work @ bodog. Go for it and they arent 2 bad after you confirm it using one of those lame forms.

This is kinda interesting. I used my wachovia visa debit card under the visa option on Full Tilt. After it was declined an option popped up from full tilt saying although visa might not work "Debit" option may work and it gave me an option to run the SAME CARD as a debit card and Viooalah! Deposited on Full Tilt with my visa debit card. Showed up on my bank statement as www.resolvepay.com.

[bustermoves]

[ruffcut68]

Visa gift cards that sounds like a great way to do it. Thanks

 

[WVHillbilly]

Used my Visa debit card on FT last week. It was initially declined and the bank called me to report suspicious activity from fulltiltpoker.com. I told them I wanted it to go through (that it was me trying to use the card). They said if I tried it again it would work. I did and it did.

 

[KtarzanOB]

party poker accepted my debit card.

Just tried my debit card to deposit at vegas for the ofc and it also worked. Guess most sites are back in business accepting them...much to my eternal woe.
