Betonline no longer accepting credit cards

You see the same logo for merchants that want you to send through Paypal. They want to tell you that it is possible to get here from there. Unfortunately this is the nature of the industry today. Next week it may go back through **** directly...a constant evolution with processing.

Except this isnt Paypal.

You just have to click on link to see how bizarre this is.

Try finding out the terms for this payment provider, check out the FAQs

They were very proud of the fact they could process credit cards when we were there a couple of months ago. I think what BetOnline is learning is that the bigger you get you can no longer slip under the radar with payment processing.

probably got killed on chargebacks

Moneybookers, please, and I'd be in there with 5 dimes in a hurry. I've done the wire thing with them beofre, but what a PITA.

I made a deposit yesterday with a credit card and it took 2 minutes. They are just using a third party processor and it even takes ********** from the US. You do have to verify by phone, immediate call from computer, and enter in the on-screen code to complete the deposit. I thought it was easy.

I was told they aren't using ********** as of yet?

This is an ewallet, not a 3rd party processor. There is a big difference.
If you ever need to do a ********** you will find this out.

Clicking on the **** logo now takes you to "Bestcardz".

You can no longer fund your betonline account directly with your **** but no have to go through this payment solution.

Worries me a bit, it reminds of when Pointbet promoted **** on their site only for the link to be to Moneybookers.

I have always felt a little more secure with sites that accept **** as it is not in Visas interest to allow total deadbeats to use them as they would have to pick up the chargebacks.

Yeah betonline doesn't even use bestcardz anymore now, you can only deposit by calling in. Ive been playing there for 6 months now, but online transaction is suddenly no longer an option at the beginning of football season. Hmm, is this a good thing or bad thing?
