I live in the Dominican Republic. I want to send some money to Neteller and discovered that they do not accept wire transfers anymore.

I posted my Visa card to Neteller, attempted a deposit and they said the card was rejected by my bank.
I went to my bank and they said they didn't reject it and I said Neteller said they did.
We went round and round and I asked if they have objections to money being used for gambling and they said no.

They have no record in their system of the attempted transaction reaching them. The in-person representative spoke to someone at a higher level and the answer they came up with is that Visa must be the one blocking the transaction.

What is up with this non gambling / gambling choice? Is this universal? Who started it?
Does it emanate from governments or card companies or something else entirely?

some visa card block gambling and NETELLER

yes it's universal applies to Philippines as well

just use a different visa card

I have one debit card.
My only other option is to make a wire transfer.

I play on 888Poker and PokerStars and they don't accept wire transfers in.
I'm currently looking for a trusted site with a casino and poker that accepts wire transfer in and is affiliated with Neteller in case I want to move money around.

Try with Paysafe

I have been using the Skrill payment system for a long time and I have never had any problems. But about two years ago, I switched to cryptocurrency, and to make transactions, I use my crypto wallet. It's convenient and fast. Skrill and Neteller payment systems have certain restrictions on financial activities in different countries around the world. This information can be found directly on their website.

Thanks for responding.
Paysafe is not available in the DR.

It is highly likely that the card issuing corporations are to blame. The card itself is not intended for this operation. But sometimes the rules are set on the cards and the party receiving the money. Mastercards are not accepted on 888. But the visa works. I do not use NETELLER and SКRILL. Operations are expensive.

Hello Sir I'm a newbie from PH as well, so what bank (Visa CC) are you using in PH? I got a mastercard from BPI but it's rejecting my transactiom whenever I try to fund my pooker accounts

hello i think you need to make a direct bank payment to the site you want to play takes a little longer between 2-3 days, or to try with a crypto wallet.and restrictions have a lot of countries towards online betting.

which offers a crypto wallet?

I believe that the problem is in your Visa Card, it's a Credit Card Visa which is only for machines and not for online transactions... Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think governments are putting some pressure on gambling, but it's more likely that Visa is trying to separate legal from illegal money flows.

I tried to sign up for Skrill, but it didn't work.

I use pre paid credit cards.
