VISA gift cards that work?

**shawnh** · 23rd May 2007, 04:05 AM

Hi all...
Does anyone know of a VISA gift card that works in online casinos
(... and is available to Canadians) ?

It was looking like the Virtual VISA at www.giftcards.com would be the ticket until I saw in their FAQ that it cannot be used for online gambling transactions :-(

Thanks!
Shawn

Hi Shawn,
there is the "all access visa" which is prepaid and/or reloadable.. and there is "futura gift card" (futura has a charge per transaction and will deny it is from them) do not get vanilla visa as it will not work.. greendot also will not work..
all access (aka gift2go) can be bought at walgreens, gibbs gas stations or "on the run" at mobil gas stations.

good luck

Thought this kind of info was going to be PM'ed instead of posted in open forum. Not that it's a big secret but just the same. Just wondering for my own future reference.

Shawn,
A great member here helped me find the prepaid Mastercard from Money Mart, works great!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Mystic - I'll look for that All-access card, but we don't have Walgreens up here... nor Mobil stations. I'll have to give gifttogo.com a call and ask where I can pick one up.

Andi - thanks for the Moneymart tip. So that Mastercard does indeed work at online casinos? I didn't think any Mastercards worked at all for online casinos ...

Has anyone ever used that NetSpend prepaid VISA gift card? I just emailed their customer support and they say it will work for online casinos.

Thanks
Shawn

Sorry cmr.. you posted on the open forum, and did not mention PM'ing the answer.. all access and netspend are both awesome also...
If you want the answers PM'd you can post that too.. or click on a username.. it will bring you to profile and you can PM them from there..

We are all pretty open here, except to spammers... right guys!

Greendot works fine for me, but then again I have only been playing at the grandprive ones (and I mean playing because I've never had such bad luck at any casino....EVER!). They're the only one that will take my credit cards anymore. Roxy won't take anything I throw their way. I haven't tried netspend but I guess I'll have to to break away from the black pit at grandprive. Maybe that's why they will take any card I try, because they know I'm not going to walk away with anything. Hmmm...

Oh and there's a prepaid card called wwwcard or something like that that will let you fund it "instantly" using another visa card. Yeah, well their "instant" is more like let them contact the bank to verify a bunch of hooplah, etc. I tried it on a weekend and what bank is open on the weekend? I called CS and told them to cancel my charge (like $8.95 or something for setup costs) and they didn't bother trying to keep me. Oh well...

Be very careful with Greendot... I used them for years! then I made a deposit of $300 and they froze my funds... said "suspicious activity" ... I will not use them again.
I have stuck with prepaid allaccess visa and netspend visa ever since and have had no problems with them!

That wasn't my post that asked for the information. I did ask about how the information is shared. I had thought it was this board that prefered a PM rather than a regular post. Reason I ask is these kind of questions seem to get posted fairly regularly and I've been tempted to post a reply but unsure if I should. Could be it was another board where it was discussed.
