betcris has a very high acceptance on credit cards,i would give them a try or get a ******** debit card

Bookmaker/Betcris has very high fees for book to book transfer. You should make sure that Matchbook would cover that cost before you go the Bookmaker/Betcris route.

bank wire

I'm only looking to put $100-$200 into matchbook. I assume the fee's are going be a bit high for a bank wire when I plan on starting small and working it into something respectable. Thanks for the help.

Wamu used to offer free wire trasnfers. I have not done one since it became Chase. You can check if that is still available.

I checked and my bank does wires but its $30...too steep for $100-$200 funding. I think I may just be screwed...

I would check into Michael's advice here... I used a few online casinos for fun. Ended up funding them with a ******** card...

matchbook will credit you $30 in commission credits

Unfortunately they only offer commission credits on wire transfer fees for deposits of $1000 or more.

It seems the best U.S. bank for initiating wire transfers online is the one referred to as "Shitty." As their website states, they cannot accept wire transfers from Bank of America.

The only real deposit options are wire transfer or the ******** (or competitive equivalent) prepaid credit card. The ******** card is technically considered a credit card, so MB will credit the 4.9% standard fee in the form of commission credits on any deposit amount. It kind of pisses me off because I initially funded my MB account with a $500 wire transfer (for which I was charged $520 by my bank) and credited only $485 after the intermediary bank fee. They can offer commission credits on a $50 credit card deposit but not on a $500 wire transfer.

******** works great for depositing small amounts.

I am interested in learning more about the ******** option. What are the fees like for getting the card, loading the card, and using the card? Is there a monthly fee you need to pay for the card? Thanks for the info.

I am definitely interested in this option.

You have to love the US online gambling restrictions...saving me from myself.

I ordered the card off their website and wasn't charge anything to get it. It costs $2 to fill the card if you go to a ******** reload center or you can load from paypal for free, which takes 3-5 days. When you transfer the money to matchbook ******** would charge you 1.00. All things considered very reasonable.

I always use my Chase debit card and never have a problem it always works

xyz · 04-02-09, 02:32 PM

fedex11204, for using your Chase debit card, do you follow the credit card link under cashier? Does Chase charge any fees for the transaction? Does Matchbook credit you with the 4.9% fee in commissions? Thanks for your help. I should be getting a Chase debit card soon, since Wamu is becoming Chase.

fedex11204 · 04-02-09, 03:09 PM

The fees are credited as you wrote in the commission credit

Homedawg · 04-02-09, 05:13 PM

I have never been able to use a chase credit card to make a deposit

fedex11204 · 04-02-09, 05:59 PM

Not Chase credit card I said DEbit card

The below books are ones that can transfer into matchbook but I don't have an account an any of the ones below. Do any of the ones below widely accept American credit cards/debit cards? Any help would be great. Thanks

You can now use the Gold-pay e-wallet to fund your Matchbook account. It's pretty simple, create a free Gold-pay account, fund your Gold-Pay account by MoneyGram, Western Union, Xoom transfer or bank wire. Then go to www.matchbook.com and load your Matchbook account using Gold-Pay. I have created another thread onthis that has more information as well. I hope that helps.
