I've seen "Wired Plastic" mentioned a few times and I'm looking for any information that y'all might have in regards to Wired Plastic. Have you used it? Any problems with it? Anybody have withdrawals paid to their Wired Plastic? Can you deposit at the casinos with it?

I have looked at their website, and it almost looks too good to be true, there has to be a downside to it somewhere. I really like the thought that maybe withdrawals could be paid to it (via wire transfers or ACH) and then a person could just go to an ATM and withdraw the money. Sure beats QT and the international wire transfers (and fees) directly into a personal bank account. I, personally, like that it isn't connected to a bank account (in my name).

Any information would be greatly appreciated!:)
 
i cant give you much info on it myself but i also seen it mentioned several times in the posts.
 
It works exactly as it says.
Yes can be used to deposit and withdraw to your card via ach.
Downsides are:
1) customer service very very very poor
2) very expensive 3.95 every time you load it , 45 cent any transactions, 95 cent everytime you call em .
3) withdrawals from ATM limited to $480 per day and not all ATM take it.

Hope it helped:D

Just got one. It will work for deposits? MG and 3D included?
 
I get charged $30 to withdraw from QT. $10 to somebody else and about $5 (varies) from WP to internation wire. My ATM charges are about the same as any ATM fee. But what I do it have it put in WP and then withdraw and put in Netspend card - not all of it because I can use WP at all the casinos I play at so sometimes I just play out of it.

Like I said, works for me. Takes about 2-3 days after ordered at QT to show up.
 
I guess it all depends on whether or not you trust them. Until they scew up with my money, I will continue to use them.

I have read about the Netspend, bank, QT, etc. horror stories. Everybody has trouble with something once in a while. I figure if I am going to trust a casino in BFE to send me money, QT in Dubai? or wherever to send my money to me when they get it, I will have to trust Wired Plastic to take care of it when it gets to the US. We trust the casinos to charge our credit cards. So, you gotta use what you got.

Tomorrow, I may have to eat my words but today all is fine. :D

I agree for the most part, but if you type "Quicktender" or "Netspend" into Google, the first result is their home page, not a list of complaints. For Wired Plastic, it is the 4th result, and isn't even wiredplastic.com, it is galileoprocessing.com (which is where wiredplastic.com redirects to if you type that address into your browser).

The complaints page and the redirected URL both seem like red flags to me. Your mileage may vary. :)
 
adedpoet,

QT charges $30 per withdrawal. Then there is a $10 from somewhere that shows up (middle man, I guess) and then WP charges $5 or so for international wire. I always figure it will cost about $50 per withdrawal for all the fees. :eek2:
 
$30 for a withdrawl?? Kind of steals the fun from low rollers eh?? I can't believe anyone uses such a method. Annie, doesn't netspend work for you?? it's only $1 per transaction with a $2-5 load fee. The only time I pay anything for any casino withdrawl is if its a bank wire transaction. Then it is my bank only that charges me $12. Sorry to hear you are getting screwed like this!

Netspend only accepts ACH transfers. Many casinos send payments via Wire (not ACH). If a wire payment comes through to Netspend, it'll sit there for a good while and eventually get sent back. It's not really worth chancing it to Netspend to me.

As far as people getting screwed having to use Wired Plastic and QT... unfortunately that's what our government left us with when passing the unlawful internet gambling enforcement act. Good 'ol USA. Pfft!
 
I know what you mean daera, so much for us here in the land of the not so free as it was originally intended to be!! I never cash out to the netspend card, I have it wired to my bank account. That costs me $12 from my bank for the fee, but still, beats $30 with QT. 3 Dice doesn't charge me a fee on their end either.

Last time I withdrew from QT to bank, it cost me $55 in the end. Withdrew $450 --- received $395 after fees. Which really kind of sucks. :p

Getting money out has become more of a pain than depositing. Of course I haven't had to worry about that much post-UIGEA....

(Boy, do I miss the pre-UIGEA days and NETeller!)
