Israel banned online gambling recently, so many casinos will no longer accept players from Israel. Credit card companies based in Israel will of course decline any transaction they believe to be related to online gambling.

The card will probably work if the processor fakes the category on the amount, often helped along by using a non-rounded number, such as charging the card $49.99 for a $50 deposit, making it look more credible that it was a purchase, rather than a casino deposit.

There are some non-rogue casinos that will do this, however, it doesn't alter the fact that it is "fraud" (lying about the category to force a transaction through the filters).

Casinos have become pretty good at getting card transactions to go through, mainly because they developed these to bypass former VOLUNTARY restrictions applied by many US banks before UIGEA came along. Now that UIGEA has come along, many US players can still play at casinos prepared to do what it takes to get the transactions through.

Whilst they will do all of this for US players, it seems they are less willing to do the same for their much smaller markets. Many casinos have simply banned Israeli and Turkish players since both countries passed laws making online gambling illegal.

Look for casinos NOT in the rogue pit, and then search for any information on them. These may be safer options than continuing to play at a rogue because it is the only one so far to accept the card for deposits.

You could also investigate alternative deposit methods, although many of the big players have pulled out of the Israeli market.

US players had some success with prepaid cards, or gift cards, rather than normal credit cards.
