A U.S. based company issuing pre-paid debit cards used to illegally fund online gambling? Yeah, that's going to last.
At this point, I wouldn't even bother getting a Netspend card just for gambling, especially given the hassles you are bound to encounter if you are actually fortunate enough to have a win and try to cash out. For us here in the U.S., wouldn't we all feel like schmoes if we started getting paper checks from casinos, then our banks refused to accept them.
