my credit cards no longer work as of this AM

[VayCayMom]

I used one last night, I had 2 casinos and about 3 cards I could use but today everything is declined. What did I see written about a deadline? Could this be the reason?

 

[tennis_balls]

were they regular credit cards or pre-paids? netspend?

I'll venture that some 'slick' processors are running for the hills.
When the cat's away the mice will prolly overpopulate and begin eating their children.
I can't get a confirm or deny on accounts I control!!?!

Something big is in the air, and I want no part.

I'll take the fifth, gimme another.

I beg your pardon??



VayCay... it would help if we knew if these were bank CC, and which bank(s).

A few weeks back, Addisyn had a talk w/her bank and they basically told her 'no, no, bad girl' for online gambling CC transactions. There's a thread in here somewhere.....

So it could be your bank's processor just got wise and dug in...

Credit cards

yes they are regular credit cards, but the casinos disguised the sales with some odd name.

I've had a problem or two with the slick processors, but... (you know what I mean vacay? - pytp,csrv, etc.) but the account is not primary, so even if they leave stuff in pre-auth for a week before it goes through (and they hit it again and again and again up to ten times a day) it usually works out. The bank can not see it until it occurs, and then it is changed next time. I was concerned my account was being raided by all the hits on it, but it's just a safety thing to slide smooth. Sometimes it goes through sometimes it doesn't. Like I say though, it's not my primary account, and it really seems it's a don't ask don't tell unspoken agreement among the money people (like eco's email today)

I can't believe I ever got myself into wheedling around like this to play (but I tell myself its just chump change)
What a weird trip it's been, trying to gamble in this no-man's land after october. It really sux when it seems your money isn't good enough to just lay it down and play (not to mention wrasslin for a payout)

I notice there are a few people not posting here anymore, maybe they are wiser than us? Let it ride

HELP ME OUT HERE

I don't understand how your deposits get approved. I have tried and tried.
When you try to deposit, doesn't it automatically contact the card company for approval. So sometimes the information given to the company does not identify the merchant, as say joe blow casino, and sometime it does?

I ask because this may end up being the only way I can deposit from here out.

Pretty much nobody understands it, that's in our favor

For the moment I'd just use eco, it takes no time nor effort, and is as safe as... it's the best thing going.

Sometimes a debit card can be re-applied, bill to this bill to that, buy a book, a car, a widget. It's risky but it's easy for them to do. A credit card has it's own problems, not so easy to redirect. A cc is safer for the consumer but has less leeway.

I wouldn't suggest depositing 'sketchily' if you don't already have a tried and true way to cash out. You don't want that mess.

How about saving up for a nice trip to the spa and those great eats at the B&M? Man o Man, one of the best eats i ever had was this little mexican restaurant at the Mandalay... fried greens with garlic, three colors of rice... a couple of tamales... ummm! On the smoking veranda with a marga, oooh ummm! Twelve lousy bucks! One spin.

It's all good, relax, you deserve it

footdr --

I use my cc at Intertops. It doesn't go through right away but is conveniently pre-approved. I have never had a problem. Also, my 3 withdrawls have been done by wire transfer directly to my bank account and have usually shown up in 10 days or less. Hope this helps.
