would this help USA players ??

[sattty]

it must be a nitemare trying to deposit if you live in the usa..

dont know if this will help you but its just a thought i had this morning

we have a thing in the uk called ukash..u can go to a shop ask them for a ukash voucher give them ur money and u get a voucher with a 18 digit code on..most casinos except ukash to deposit with..u simply go to cashier enter the code and the money goes straight into ur account..

if you have friends in the uk perhaps you can get them to buy a voucher for you and send you the code via email

u can send them the money for the cost of the voucher....

i mite be wrong but u may even be able to buy ukash vouchers online as they can be used for many different types of purchases..think there popular with people who dont like given out there debit card details when making online purchases....

was just a thought ..perhaps something for you to look at

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Hi Satty,

Nice of you to try and find a solution, but I fear this one may be a can of worms.

Lets say it works, and the player gets around IP screening and all the rest... creates and funds an account... and they win.

They then get asked for docs... including a bill which proves their address in the UK.... and their UK passport.....

boom.. bye bye big win, account closed.

IMO... a nice idea but wayyyy too risky.

 

[sattty]

i hear what ur saying..

but not sure u have to live in the uk to use ukash vouchers....its simply a way of paying for goods and services online

im no expert on it so dont know...perhaps someone like mark at 32red could comment on it for us

As a us player, we are able to use ukash vouchers at the casinos that accept ukash. i know that you can purchase online--i don't know the links though. i have to travel to germany occasionally, and buy them from a gas station. Works pretty well, just need the 18 digit code as satty mentioned,

Oh yes, depositing is 'fun'.... but trying to get a withdrawal... well... that's even 'funner'. LOL

 

[sattty]

ohh well seemed a good idea at the time lol

If you can find a place that will sell you an Ukash voucher online. Most of the times they come with a pretty hefty convenience fee on them. Mainly because someone had to go out and buy the voucher. Then there reselling it to you. So of course there looking to make a profit.
I have found when nothing else seems to work. Ukash comes to be my savior for online gaming, but I rarely do it because of the fees. As for documentation and what not. Considering there anonymous and what not. I don't see why they would want any form of documentation. As long as someone doesn't report it lost/stolen/fraudulent. Then you should be fine with this method.

 

[sattty]

no need to pay for fees online...id think most american players on here have a friend on here from the uk they trust and could deal with

u read so mant threads where people say how hard it is to deposit in usa..just seemed like a good solution to me..granted it requires trust like i said just seemed like a good idea at the time

virtual visa as opposed to ukash

While I haven't been gaming as much, I had a hard time getting my hands on ukash. Even so, I've lost plenty to converting currencies making funding accounts nightmarish in general.

I did some research and came across a site called entropay; it allows for a virtual visa card.

The fee to load the card is like 5%, and it seems to work well with international transactions. You'll be limited to 50$ on the first use before verifying and then cashing out will be a separate issue, depending on limits and such.

I like the entropay too except some casinos like inetbet didn't accept it yet the entropay logo is in the cashier...confusing. As gas as ukash I went to sites that offered it and could never complete the buy.
