I've had a P4F account at UK Casino Club for a while so today I thought I would turn this into a real account. No problems until the critical point - when I tried to deposit using my Barclay's Debit card, it was declined.
Online Chat told me the usual rubbish - it is my bank which is rejecting the transaction, and I need to contact them as they probably don't allow online transactions, or possibly I don't have enough money in the account. Yada! Yada! Yada! All not true.
They 'graciously' told me that if I sent the front/back copy of the card used to make the deposit (WTF????) and other proof of identity, they would attempt to manually override the deposit restriction. To which my reply was unprintable. I'm not giving away details of my bank card willy nilly to all and sundry, particularly to a Casino who won't allow me to use it in the first place.
I seem to be encountering this problem more and more - it really is pot luck as to whether or not the card is accepted by a new casino. At casinos I am already using there is simply no problem.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening? I am getting tired of the casino blaming my bank all the time. As I am using a Debit Card (not a credit card) the money in the account is mine, and surely the bank does not have the right to dictate as to how I use the funds?
BTW - I am UK based with a UK bank account.
