    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

    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

    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

    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
