    Prepaid Gift Cards At Books?
    anyone else try this route?..I know BetOnline is using this as an option. Seems a bit safer, however, they need to be able to be used "online and Internationally". But some of the fine print on the cards say won't be processed for online gaming. Where can I find these cards and do they work?? Don't wanna get stuck with a gift card that can't be used

    best way to do it is ask the book directly.. if they wont answer i guess i can answer in pm.. but no way im posting it on the boards.

      Buy the gift card with your CC in the cashier. No need to go out and buy one. Worked for me!

              I joined BetOnline because they had this option. Go to Cashier and select the Prepaid **** Option:
              Now you make an Express Payment and get an "Prepaid Gift Card" to fund your account right through the site using your favorite CC. It's easy, fast and totally secure. Please note that you may need to allow a pop-up in the deposit process.

                Why are we so secretive about this? Do we really think that if somebody found this board... they couldn't figure out how to join a sportsbook and ask the sportsbook this question themselves? We act like the gov't has no idea, but they probably know more then anyone on this board does.

                    How much can you load on the G2G cards at one time?

                        At CVS you can get ones that you can load from $50 to $500. Be sure to look at the card in the picture of the package you buy and see if in the bottom left on the card it says valid only in the U.S.. Make sure not to get that one.

                                I have to disagree seeing how I've gotten a card there about 20 times and used them. Maybe it's different where you live.

                                    There are 2 types of Vanilla V!sas one is Domestic and one is international. You have to look on the packaging of the card to see, usually majority are US only, but you can usually find a row that allow international use. Also there is the Bill Pay card at CVS that will work at books if you need it, not sure if you have it in Louisiana though.

                                          Most places don't even take cc anymore so even if you buy a gift card it will be hard to use.

                                                  i saw legends have that option. which is very good to have a instant quick deposit without approval from the legends agent.

                                                  "Express Payment"

                                                    ********

                                                    so this weekend I was trying to find a proper deposit method using a money card/prepaid and literally went through about 4 cards and $10 in fees in getting them only for all the cards to get turned down

                                                    brands: walmart money card (GE capital) -doesnt work
                                                    vanilla gift card (bankcorp)- doesnt work
                                                    green dot money card (synovus)- doesnt work *worked at intertops only*
                                                    "major comapanies" prepaid (bankcorp) - didnt work.

                                                    bookmakers tried at : Heritage sports, 5dimes, bovada.lv, and finally yes Intertops (*green dot card worked after multiple attempts)

                                                    cards that do work at all the above bookmakers is :Net-spend (MetaBank) I will be using this card from now on for my deposits you can go to the website and find a reseller. I got mine at a cash advance location and the initial activation fee ranges from $0-$4.95 but on average you can find them for $3 activation. good luck!
