Hummm.............I wondered how casinos were able to accept Visa/MC deposits from US players (except you have to phone them to give account info, etc.) It appears from this thread that they are "backdooring" the transaction by coding it as merchandise instead of gambling. Maybe I am naive, but isn't that a violation of Visa/MC rules that casinos agree to before they are allowed to process transactions? And why isn't Visa/MC completing their due diligence BEFORE they approve these merchants' accounts? Seems the ball would be in their court and any merchant circumventing the rules would be fairly easy to stop.

Difficult to pass judgement on this one but one can definately see the obvious warning sign that players should heed.

Goes to show how valuable the Meisters Accredited Casinos list is and why more people should be aware of its existence IMHO. Using that, legitimate players are unlikley to go far wrong.

Well said use this experience. Furthermore I was coerced into signing a contract with IGS that they did not honor. As Casinomeister stated IGS is in Argentina with no reputation in the gaming industry. Furthermore I have proof of their fraud and lies, and their operation is much like their casino license, worthless. No one in the governmental agencies of Curacao would recognize IGS. Amazingly they claim to have Cartoon Network, TBS's Sex in the City and many others as a portfolio of clients. Maybe this is lies too.
