casino euro advice needed

[winna12]

I opened acc with casino euro,i deposited by uk visa electron debit card,i was succesful at the tables and tried to withdraw back to my visa electron card(same card as deposit),i kept getting a "not a visa card"message,so i filled the bank wire withdrawal option and thought it was on its way to me,couple of days later got a message from payments dept asking me to withdraw back to my card as they had cancelled bank transfer,i telephoned cs and they sent a query to payments regarding the system would not allow me to withdraw to this card even though it is visa,i emailed payments(no reply)and also emailed them a security form and back front of my card and passport,still no reply,cs are no wiser too,so any advice as what to do next??also is there a representitive of casino euro on this site??

I had to deal with theyr cs and I find them very good and fast, how long have you waited now?

Oh not long,the cs are great but its the payments dept that seem to be slow

The key is the fact it is a Visa ELECTRON card. Electron is the "red headed stepchild" of VISA cards (to nick a Casinomeister expression without permission ). If you look more closely at high street outlets and petrol stations you will usually find small print that says they accept "all cards" except "Electron" and "Solo". These were originally issued by the building society banks separately from the so called "big five" original high street banks. Likely, the payment systems do not recognise ELECTRON codes as being Visa. It may be that withdrawals cannot be processed back to that particular card. I am not sure even why deposits worked in the first place.

Since the reason for a bank draft request was the refusal of the system to accept a "back to card" request, it is yet another example of poor and disjointed communication and service expected of less well run casinos for CS to tell you to withdraw back to the card and then cease all further communications for the time being (likely they are just really slow at responding, like BelleRock CS).

I have one of these "Electron" cards, I find it as useful as a match in a squall (somewhat less useful than the usual chocolate teapot). Last year, I managed to use my Electron card for something other than withdrawing cash from an ATM (first time!) by managing to get a payment from it through to an online credit card account!

The UK banks have started to use Electron and Maestro cards much more frequently but unfortunately they are much more restricted. Electron is actually a damn sight better than Maestro which is about as useful on the Internet as a bucket with a hole in it, and not just for gambling.

I tried opening a Paddy Power account with a Maestro card - it registered but wouldn't take a deposit. So then they locked the account and they asked for docs because apparently the card name has to exactly match the account name. So a card with "A. J. Stupid" or "Mr Alan John Stupid" won't match with a Paddy Power account registration of just "Alan Stupid". That's just stupid. So they asked for docs...tried sending, bounced back 'cos they might apparently be dangerous attachments (JPEG!) and gave up.

I hate my Maestro card with a passion...always fails online despite Natwest assuring me wherever I see "Mastercard" I can use it. Bollocks can I. Electron is slightly better and I have used it at Wagerworks, Microgaming and RTG properties without any problems generally.

True, while I have found at least ONE site that accepts my Electron debit card, I have found nowhere that will even allow registration of my only Maestro debit card. The big problem is it uses the same card number format as my Nectar loyalty card, or my Shell petrol loyalty card. Online sites recognise the 16 digit 4/4/4/4 format of standard Visa, Mastercard, and most Delta debit variants. Maestro is an 18 digit 6/12 code, and cannot be validated as a card in the first case.
The adverts for the Maestro card depict a penguin (or two), and when by my computer, I would find a REAL penguin just as useful as the Maestro card currently is

PS, if you merely had a hole in your bucket, you could still fetch water if you ran fast enough

Nah I prefer to play Thunderstruck. Same result but more fun

Simmo - I really think it unwise to post your real name on the forum...
