I had a recent complaint about 3dice casino and the fact they do not allow U.S. customers to use Visa. They said there has been a recent change in the law. I cannot find anything anywhere whether its a statute or not. I have never been able to use Visa at 3dice in the last year I have tried and first and foremost I am curious if anyone in the U.S. can tell me if they have ever used a Visa at 3dice? I just think they should state this to new players especially if it's a new law, not allowing everyone to know this is a bit shady in my opinion and I just recently found out that Full Tilt Poker has now implemented this new policy as well. Full Tilt Poker will no longer accept Visa, but they also are playing it rather quiet. Full Tilt Poker told me that they currrently will not allow U.S. customers to use Visa for situations beyond their control. This is something Full Tilt has decided to do as of last month. 3dice casino stated that there is a new law prohibiting them from allowing U.S, customers to deposit with Visa as of july1st, or as an email sent to me from their support stated June1st.
Obviously something is going on with Visa and I would like to know the truth as to what happened, So, if anyone can find the new law or what has happened in the last few months please let me know, because I am always trying to keep up with these laws.
Another intersting thing that 3dice said was that will not call themselves a show company or bowling alley to illegally accept Visa. Does this mean that before June 1st they were illegally allowing people from the U.S. to make deposits via Visa by calling themselves a bowling alley? The reason I ask is because every time I deposit at any online casino using my visa card they call themselves a computer company, a flower company or some other strange name. This happens at every single online site! From Bodog, Full Tilt poker, pokerstars, and tons of accredited sites, they all use the same methods to get my deposits to clear. If this is illegal as 3dice casino states than I am very upset at all these sites. I always just figured that they did this to make sure i could continually deposit because the U.S. frowns upon online gambling. I am honestly feeling like if i live in the U.S. it is a mistake to deposit and play anywhere because technically it is illegal. But I really find it funny that most sites hide behind the unlawful internet gambling act as a way to protect themselves, because technically it has always been illegal to play online from the U.S., even prior to the internet gambling act. however this is all a "GREY" area, and obviously it only matters if the U.S. actually really cares or not. Guess the bottom line is that I would like more information on what has recently happened concerning the VISA situation,,, thanks
