Sportsbooks that Accept your Credit Card.

**pags11** · 12-18-05, 07:23 PM

serg, many books are hestitant to accept credit cards because of all the charge-backs...meaning, a player will play at a book and if he or she loses, she'll call the company and say it was a fraudulant charge...

I'd just open up a neteller account and use cash that you actually have (I'm a firm believer that scared money never wins)...

i've heard that wsex seems to accept alot of them. so, you might want to give them a try with your card.

if you fax in your credit card and license there is no way you can say it was "fradulant" Cant they report to credit union?? I th ink someone was talking about that earlier

I thought you weren't allowed to use a credit card to gamble online in the US.

David, there is a thing called UNCODED merchant account. What this means is that if your bank doesn't allow gambling transactions the credit card will be charged as something else and the book can still process it. I know only a few company that allow it, if you want you can talk to the book and use your credit card with Western Union and some books will take the fees on that. Just make a couple of phone calls to customer service and see what they'll offer.

If you dont have the cash to deposit with, then using a Credit card can just get you in trouble when using it to gamble with. I dont recommend it.

I agree, there are much better methods of payment. I would never use my credit card to fund a sportsbook.

onlooker, I completely agree...

I don't use credit cards to deposit either. Don't like betting with "borrowed money"
I use the credit card only for necessary things. Very seldom really

scared money definitely never wins...

Yes there is and many solid books use these. Unfortuantily within 10 days most are blocked as they get "hit up" heavy during that time and have to move to new uncoded merchant.
