prepaid cards

what is the best prepaid credit/debit card to use for a US player i know there is different ones but which do you guys have the best luck and the least trouble with?

[Pokerkitty6]

My favorite prepaid card is from Ace check cashing stores. A card called Netspend. I have never had any problems depositing or withdrawing. All casinos and poker have taken my card. When I win, I withdraw by printing my Netspend statement and it shows their bank called Meta Bank. My money then is deposited directly into my checking account. I never have any money in this account except for my entertainment so I don't worry about giving them my account number. I love this card!!!!! It also keeps me within my budget each week!

I use netspends prepaid cards....its actually a visa card but thye are prepaid...u pay a like 495 for them but can deposit any amout u want ...i have never had any preblems with them and they can be bought at anyu sunoco gas station,,,easy to use and no problems

[Pokerkitty6]

Real easy to use, the best.

I like the netspend cards but have been doubled charged on fees,i suggest the fee for each deposit.That monthly fee stinks they always double charge you, and if you don't deposit? It does keep you in your budget but make sure you keep an eye on your fees.

I also just purchased and all access Visa netspend. So far it has worked great for me. At first I was a little confused about the temporary card, but then my permanent one came in the mail. I have not withdrawn with it yet, so when and if I do, LOL, I hope it works as easy as the deposit. I have had only to pay the re-load fee each time, and a $1 fee at netspend per transaction. Gl

I would have to say to use a regular prepaid visa or mastercard. They seem to be the best to use.I used them a couple of times and had no problems at all with them. And if I am correct their is no fee to use them.

I used net spend and all access both very good.

fees stink but its the only way if you dont want to use your checking account or bank account.

[Pokerkitty6]

My prepaid card charges me $2 to reload and $1 for each transaction, but well worth it to have no problems depositing or withdrawing at the casinos. I love my netspend card.

[GloBug]

well i have used many but netspend is the best. i use them just to get on then cash out via a check. dont need a reloadable one. get money on and keep a hold of it. u can use all prepaid cards as long as u register then to be used online.

[thenutzaa1]

netspend is good if yu dont want to use your debt card.......for security reason......but i will agree glo bug netspend is the best

I used my Visa Debit a few months back to fund a casino account.
It went through ok until 3 hour later I was getting a call from
the fraud investigation dept of the card. Of course I didn't answer and they didn't call back.

[GloBug]

well i would never use my debit card online for gambling to much fraud goes on. kinda insane to use it unless u have a acct dedicated to poker. so when u do use it and cash out u can transfer to ur personal acct. thats probably the best way besides using a prepaid card.

Glo Bug which pre paid cards do you use? Most of the cards I have tried get denied.

ive used a prepaid card a couple of times aswell works just like any other credit card, in new zealand we have a thing called a "prezzy card" which works the same as a regular visa card.

You live in New Zealand?

That's so cool. Want to go but heard it was like a 23 hour plane ride and I'm not up for that.

No matter what. No matter what, I say.

The best way I believe is the reloadable visa debit cards. You can use them anywhere visa debit is accepted, and its up to you how much you want to put on the card. They also work at atm machines. Information is available at www.netspend.com GOOD LUCK at the tables.

For players in the US, Netspend is the best card. I first tried to use one of those vanillavisa cards that you can buy in the local 711 or quickiemart. I was pretty upset when I realized I couldn't use it for online purchases whatsoever and even more than that, I couldn't go to an ATM and get the cashback for the card. I ended up trading it to a friend for money and used that money to get a netspend card. I have never had a problem getting money on or off a card with any online site. Plus you have the added benifit of being able to go to any ATM and getting cash off the card if you absolutely need it. (fees do apply) The only thing I don't like about the card is that it costs you 2-5 dollars, depending on where you go, just to reload the card and a dollar every time you use it to put money into a site. Also, there is a 9 or ten dollar fee just for opening it up. The best pro for this card is that you can't overdraft, so if you don't have the money, you can't gamble it. This is especially good for people who have ran up their credit through the roof from gambling... kind of slows you down a bit cause you have to actually go somewhere to put more money on the card.

I am wanting to know where you can get one of these cards at?

[masterof88]

You can get one of these cards at a Currency Exchange or at other Cash Stores. They all have different names in different states: Some might have the name Payday loans... basically anyplace that cashes checks without you having to have a bank account. Also, you can refill them almost anywhere, although some places cost more than others (jewel, osco, dominicks, most grocery stores)

[masterof88]

Almost forgot... go to www.netspend.com and they have a zip code locator for where you can get one.

I have a wired plastic visa card. Go to wiredplastic.com. Apply-you get it in about 5 days. I use it for bills and on the sites here. I have made deposits and withdraws with it. They have live support. For 5 years now I have had NO problems with it. You can fill it any place that has money grams for $3.95 up to $2000. It loads the deposit in about 20 minutes. Can be used as a debit and pay 85 cent fee or credit (for the amount you have in it) for free.

[Pokerkitty6]

Pre-paid or reloadable cards are best for US players. I use Netspend and never had a problem.

[Hydrotrip]

All-Access NetSpend Visa Gift Cards, or re-loadable if you want to dump $1 per signature transaction. GC is best, IMO.
