Ty that is what i was wondering, if the visa at the check cashing store would work,,, because the virtual visa to me is the same thing,,, I do not want to use my checking account anymore, too easy to go over, I want a card that I only use for gambling and always top off with cash... Thank you all so much for your advice, help and suggestions.... thank you and happy holidays

Your best bet is to get yourself a "Wired Plastic" card, Netspend is nothing but trouble...I dumped mine about six or so months ago and went with "Wired Plastic" and can deposit anywhere without any trouble at all and there are never no holds put on the card, at least mine has never had any holds placed on it and I use it a hell of a lot...lol
Robwin, and what may I ask is a "wired plastic" and where can it be bought?
Is this in USA??
I have had my WP card for over a year and I don't pay those kinds of fees. I think it is $3.95 per month with no per transaction fees unless it's the usual ATM fees. They charge $6.95 for an international wire received and that's about it. I haven't looked to see if they have changed since I got mine.
Prindi said:Once you buy your giftcard and activate it, it takes 33 minutes to be able to use. So! Don't rush home and think it will be ready to go in 10 minutes. Not going to happen. Do not call customer service for a balance as it will deduct .50 from your balance. Hence, your $50.00 gift card is now only worth $49.50 and your trying to deposit $50.00 wondering why its rejecting.
They come in denominations of$25, $50, and $100. Thats what I have seen around here. You can go here to find the locations for the gift card. Just put in your zip code. Its really easy, the fee is like I think 4.95 or 5.95. For me its 1/4 of the distance to pick one up then to go load my netspend.

I have been using these cards along with the all access prepaid gift visa card without any problem..
the only thing i need to stress here is to wait at least one hour after purchase before you even try to fund your casino account..it seems it takes an hour for it to actually become valid for some reason..and if you try it too early and receive a rejection from the casino, it takes forever for that rejection to clear the system..but anyway..this is what i use and I have had no trouble at all..
You might want to check where you purchase these cards to see if they have a "Reloadable" card. The reloadable card is a one time fee of about $9.95 when you purchase it (there is a reload fee for each time you reload it), when you get home you can access thier site or contact them by telephone,. Once you give them your information (register the card to you) You are good to go!! AND you will get a reloadable card in the mail with your name on it within two weeks. You can still reload the temporary card while you wait for your personalized card to arrive in the mail, but you don't have to wait to use it . There is a "reload" fee., but you are already paying fees for each of the cards you purchase that is NOT reloadable.
In the long run, I find it's much more practical to have the reloadable card. I even used mine to rent a truck when we moved!! And it's much easier to reload one or two hundred dollars than run out to the store every time you use up the funds on your $25 or $50 card.
I remember when I used to buy those gift cards, I made alot of trips to the same store .... IMHO it's alot more practical to have a reloadable one.
Just make sure you do NOT to get the Greendot brand Mastercard. It's no good for online gaming at all.
