Mastercard UK for deposits at MG

[XSX]

Hello everyone!

I've got Lloyds TSB Mastercard and Barclays PLC Mastercard. Both are always declined at ANY MG casinos. Do you have similar problems? If you do, which Mastercard can you use (UK issued)?

Regards

I think MC is out of gaming for good!! Visa will stay as its big business for them and they have a real interest!!

I think the above post is correct - it's MasterCard themselves who block casino transactions, not the individual banks.
(I'm not 100% certain about that).

The only casinos I've used a Mastercard at recently are those linked to bookmakers sites which seem to be exempt from the 'ban' for some reason.
The only MG's off the top of my head who fit this are Ladbrokes and Intertops.
(Maybe someone else knows some more...?)

I would really recommend though that you seriously consider an 'online wallet' such as Neteller, etc...
Takes a few days to set up, but then it's so much easier and you'd be good to go at ALL MG's!!

Bet Direct, also very much legit. You deposit into the spoortsbook then transfer into the casino, so it'll probably work.

Hi XSX,

I think you will find that most of the Chartwell powered casinos take Mastercard - with each having different rules re:withdrawals back to the card - ok in UK, but not in mainland Europe - is generally the case.

Best regards,
