    Funding a 5dimes acct

    I’m having some trouble getting money in and wanted to get some feedback.

    I’m trying to avoid wife aggro as well as any imperial entanglements (IRS).

    that leaves me with cash and a v1sa account. I’m in New York.

    Ive been trying to find a prepaid m@stercard I can buy with my v1sa that will then let me fund the account, but all the ones at my local stores aren’t enabled for international.

    similarly, attempts to find a way to buy bitcoin also hit the same snags on my v1sa.

    any avenues I might try? Any brands of prepaid m@stercards that people have used recently that worked well that they can recommend?

    thanks,
    Brian

    Yeah what’s up with V1sa cards not being accepted? I’ve tried to find an account the last few days with no luck. Bookmaker, Lowvig, and youwager all no luck! Any one have a sure that has taking a v1sa charge.

    I tried to find ways to buy bitcoin, but ran into the same problems, ie my v1sa. That’s why I’m asking for feedback and help.

    Open a bank account the wife doesn't know of and use that to fund Coinbase or Cash App to buy bitcoin.

    There's also Localbitcoins website to buy, but you have to be careful and make sure you're buying from people with a good reputation.

    Localbitcoins is the easiest way to buy without all the verification b.s. Just buy from someone with a good reputation. You will pay more than you would from exchanges but at least it's instant and don't have go through verification process and wait a week.

    i think u fill in a ssn, but not like they check it... that and name and address to get ur card and that's it...

    to get it, the card was $10 (1 time fee) lasts 3 years

    atm fee just $2.00...u can transfer large amounts and get them out same day

    and u can use free of chage anywhere Vsa is accepted just like any other card

    its awsome

    Do this and use some with a top rating. You can just send a cash deposit at a Bank nearbye like BkofAma. It's a real easy and quick process

    Thank you DaColts! V1sa worked with Youwager! I guess that’s the sportsbook I’m going with for the moment.
