    Default Why not just go pre paid?

    Is there any reason why players from the USA are not just using pre paid credit cards or gift cards to make deposits at their favorite casino? I mean they never get declined and have no effect on your credit and they are everywhere. gas stations, wal-mart, 7-11, wherever there is a store there is usually a pre paid visa or mastercard stand. So players can buy their milk duds and pick up a card and play. Am I missing something?

    Cards are also available at moneymart in the USA and Canada which give you a cad with your name on it and you can upload funds anytime you want. I'm not sure why so many issues are coming up.

    I'm not a professional, but to my understanding the card still needs to go through a processor of some kind to get to the casino in the first place. This is where the issue lies. If there is no processor, the card will fail.

    I'm sure Gooner could probably explain this better since he used to work in that industry.

    What Renee is saying is correct.

    Try finding an e-wallet that will allow US players to make deposits to a Gambling Merchant.

    Try doing this as a US citizen - find and fund an ewallet, which will give you a prepaid card. Then use that prepaid card in a country outside of the US. I found it impossible to find one.
