    Credit Card Question

    Hey everyone. I recently loaded into my 5dimes account using **. I also did the *************** option with Matchbook and they are good methods. However, ** you can only send under your name once every 8 days usually.

    I would like to know do you guys get charged with depositing with a credit card or debit card into a sportsbook? The thing i find frustrating is the maximum one can deposit with credit card debit card... i use BkofAma is $500. However, when i deposited into Bodog a while ago, i was hit with some 3 percent transaction fee. It was called the foreign transaction fee for about $15 or so. I am not sure if i deposited with my credit or debit card that time but i was hit with the fee.

    Does anyone know if they still get hit with 3 percent fee? Does anyone know the limits? Is it different at all the books? Would it be possible for me to do 5 deposits of $500 each in a month? I certainly don't mind depositing this way as i get world points as well

    Matchbook will credit back the 3 or 3.5% into your account as commission credit.

    1.Each credit card is different from the next is my experience. Some of major banks that claim to be on your side are full of shit. The only thing they care about is profit, and that means sucking you dry of your cash every chance they get, and inventing ways of getting more of your money. BofA is the devil imo. In this environment, any way of getting your money transported is a plus, but read all the small print on everything so you will know the fees, and not have transactions voided also, cause you will still get charged many times for failed transactions.

    2.Limits are different with different books. You got to check with your credit card carrier, but I wouldn't do that either as you are making gaming transactions, and this will cause more harm than good, believe me, if I understand your question correctly.

    3.I would do the simplest way, and I would avoid BofA completely, as they have a no gaming rule for their bankwires and cc transactions last time I checked. Play it safe, you don't want to get burned.
