I have a Vanilla **** Gift Card that I would like to spend at one of the books. I tried betjam but they said it didn't go through. Does anyone know of any other good books that accept these cards? Amount will be a few hundred dollars.
Thanks.

You can try BetOnline. A lot of people don't like them here, but they always paid me timely and have a nack of processing cards that others could not. They also don't put a hold on your funds like other books do when you deposit with cards.
Carib is solid too, you can see if their processor processes cards.

I had problems with this gift card, so I chose to get a ******** card, which is working much better for me

It didn't work sorry. I was just told that it went through, thanks, bye but it never went through and they called me back to tell me.
Is this card of any use to me for making a deposit? Maybe there is another book or some sort of proxy, ect?
Thanks.

Let me tell you about a story pertaining to Vanilla gift card. In say 95 or 96 the Vanilla gift card had a flaw. If i purchased a card, say $100, and spent the $100. Almost exactly 24 hours after the purchase, your balance would come back to $100.
This cycle would run 3 days. basically you could spend $300 to $400 on a single giftcard if you picked this up. This flaw lasted about 3 months since I first noticed it.

You can use it at pokerstars, also after buying one wait 60 minutes before using.

I used it once to fund betmania maybe 3 1/2 years ago via Western Union. From a $100 gift card I got like $70 something. You are better off just saving the card for gas.
