******** decline gambling transactions

Fiasco · 05-29-10, 02:00 PM

Starts June 1st I think.

I got the call too.

sucks

bettilimbroke999 · 05-29-10, 02:04 PM

Wow, this is gonna finish off US online gambling, basically only leaves ** and ** (probably only a matter of time until they're gone as well) and for average bettors its ridiculous to drive down to stand in line at **/** every time they want to deposit 200 bucks

ShamsWoof10 · 05-29-10, 02:09 PM

I just got a call from that number (answering machine is off) and I imagine it's for the same reason..

That does suck!!!

Did you answer the call or did you get a message? I haven't gotten a call yet but i actually want to speak with them when I get the call.

michael777 · 05-29-10, 03:30 PM

it is a recorded message

BigD · 05-29-10, 04:27 PM

I sent an email to betjm this is what I got back not good

Thanks for the email. As of yesterday, customers have been receiving voicemail messages from ******** indicating that as of June 1, 2010, their cards should not be be used for gaming activities. We assure you that we are aware of this new regulation imposed by the US government, and our processors are currently working feverishly, to have new options in place in a timely manner to make this transaction be as smooth as possible for our customers

Naz18 · 05-29-10, 04:28 PM

gonna be pissed if this happens to me..

tullamore · 05-29-10, 04:47 PM

mtneer1212 · 05-29-10, 04:58 PM

it was a recording, but I answered.

mtneer1212 · 05-29-10, 04:59 PM

This just means there will need to be another intermediary -- like use my wallet..... which will lead to more fees

DoubleEM · 05-29-10, 05:03 PM

I guess I'll be using Gold-Pay more.

BigD · 05-29-10, 05:03 PM

What a joke we can't plug a hole in the bottom of the gulf but we can stop sports gambling good job

JW Cash · 05-29-10, 05:13 PM

anybody use Fed Ex for the Greek.........my first deposit to them in late 90's was Fed Ex and they picked up the fee....

Fasttrack · 05-29-10, 05:16 PM

Thanks for the heads up. Hope they change their policy.

Brock Landers · 05-29-10, 05:36 PM

[QUOE=JW Cash;4794581]anybody use Fed Ex for the Greek.........my first deposit to them in late 90's was Fed Ex and they picke
yep, as mentioned this is UNSTOPABLE

big joe 1212 · 05-29-10, 05:48 PM

I use to love the good ole days when we could echeck. When I use to request a payout, it would be in my bank account within 2 days, hassle and fee free!

Brock Landers · 05-29-10, 05:50 PM

the books best come up with new means...

Though Fed Exing a cashiers check, the ONLY thing they need to do is credit your account UPON arrival...if they want to hold the funds so you can't withdraw for 7 days till the thing clears, fine, but make them AVAILABLE to play with upon recipt. This is what Pinnacle did, and its is UNFUKKINGSTOPABLE. You can't stop people from sending a fed ex package, As long as there aren't drugs in it anyway.

Exactly back when i started gambling with offshore books that is the way i deposited. I would get a bank cashier check, fedex it to the book and as long as it was over $300 they would cover the $30 fedex fee. You could fax them the fedex receipt and they would usually go ahead and credit your account.

And by the way the books i use to do this with (back in 97-98) are the good books that are still around, minus WSEX. GL

CREDIT UNION CARDS will work

Rollins08 · 05-29-10, 09:19 PM

I used it today, no voice mail yet.

Carseller4 · 05-29-10, 09:47 PM

Looks like MoneyGram is the way to go from here on out.

heathcliffm · 05-29-10, 10:38 PM

how about the moneygram prepaid card?

JW Cash · 05-29-10, 10:48 PM

I am open to any alternatives.....like I say.....my first deposit to Greek in 1998 was Fed Ex...so i am ok with that......

till I get to Vegas.....

Climate · 05-29-10, 11:29 PM

We shall see...Hopefully this mess will get somewhat cleared up, and there will some sort of regulation. However, I fear the government and greedy, stupid corporations will find a way to screw it up.

as long as they credit it once they receive it, all is good, if they put lengthy holds on the funds before allowing you to play, then we got a problem

LiarGame · 05-30-10, 01:26 AM

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably deposit before June 1st now.

stikymess · 05-30-10, 06:39 AM

Guess I will put the net spend card in the drawer next to the net teller card. Thanks for the info and updates guys.

So much for the home of the free.
