Visa Gift Card

Moneyneversleeps · Feb 18, 2007

Looking for a way to fund my Betjamaica account. Does Walmart sell these Visa gift cards? Once I deposit using a gift card is there any withdrawal limitations that Betjamaica will put on me? Thanks.

Wal Greens does for sure sell them

They are much too expensive at those stores. For what you're going to pay at a Walgreens, you can get a permanent gift card at a check cashing place that allows you to reload for $2 in the future.

Depositing with a gift card has no bearing on your withdrawing. You just can't put the withdrawal back on the gift card and have to withdraw via anothe means.

www.walgreens.com

buy the GIFT 2 GO card
it's YELLOW packaging

I think they charge $4.95 for the $100 one
and a little less of a fee for the $50 and $30 ones

another option if the all access wont work for you

I live in WV. We ain't got no Walgreens. The all access card looks good. I just hate to go into one of those check cashing places.

I bought the all access Visa card at Safeway. Took all of 20 seconds to load at Bet Jam.

W/d via Western Union and Bank Check.

Now a days, it's one of the best options out there.

Do the check cashing places require an SSN to get the card? What information do they ask for? What is the fee? Is there a way for Visa to decline the purchase for internet gambling? Thanks.

Have you guys tried your banks debit card at betjam??

Mine works just fine as of yesterday

stolidog · Feb 18, 2007

No SSN or any info needed. Nothing but the $104.95 which includes the $4.95 fee.

Arodd · Feb 18, 2007

so just to confirm,

you can buy one of these cards, and they will work as a deposit method at Pokerstars?

It seems Visa could decline these for internet gambling just like they do for credit cards???

I noticed on the all access website they have a note stating that if you want to use your code for internet purchases you have to register the card on their website. Do you actually have to do this to fund a betjamaica account?

Can the governemnt just arbitrarily tell Visa they have to take the cards off the market? If that were true there wouldn't be any baby laxative for sale anywhere in the US.

No but I am surprised Visa allows the transaction to take place. I would think that the transaction code would be blocked just like it is with a regular credit card. I guess they don't care since it is prepaid.

ProPokerPlayer · Feb 18, 2007

they cant take em off the market and just last week or Visa started requesting cash sales only for them so they can deny all knowledge of what they are used for...they want no paper trails back to them....they probably wont last forever but they working fine now...

Dsethi---use it at Poker Stars under the regular Visa deposit option...takes 2 seconds guaranteed.....but remember they sell 2 cards..a 'gift to go" and 1 they call a "green dot'...gift to go ONLY!!!! yellow pack cant miss em....

everything good and convenient always goes the way of the dinosaur. we're always one step ahead of those a$$holes who are legislating moality and then they inevitable catch up and close down our outlets.

You would think the transactions would eventually have the same technology as visa/mc getting rejected 98% of the time

What becomes gray is the books are smart enough to offer 'memberships' so it looks obvious it's gambling related but legally it should be fine?

NetSpend Prepaid Debit Cards are issued by Inter National Bank or MetaBank, members FDIC.

ok let me get this straight....

i can buy the $100 visa gift card at walgreens (yellow pack).......... the total cost will be $104.95

i can then go to Betjamaica or Pokerstars and deposit under the regular credit card method.................

then i can withdraw any winnings by WU or Fedex from either place.........

do you have to fax any info to either betjam or pokerstars to withdraw....

thx for answers............
