I've been thinking about this today, do most books take credit card payments from non-US citizens? I see it advertised at almost all sportsbooks and casinos. Been thinking long and hard about the easiest way to move money around from book to book and was thinking that if most places take credit cards from overseas maybe it would help to try and get a credit card from a non US bank or CC company and use that like a neteller or other e-wallet. Is this possible to do? Wondering what the europeans do if they want to use a credit card.
My debit & credit cards -- Mastercards & Visas from BÁC San José, Costa Rica -- all work fine everywhere I've tried them (namely PokerStars, Party Poker and WSEX).
When I opened an account with BÁC, they required a bank reference from another Costa Rican bank though. Rather bullshit, so not sure you can setup an account while on vacation.
What I am more curious though is whether withdrawals will work thru the Visa debit card (in excess of amounts deposited). Haven't tried it yet. Stars claims it works with Visas from most European countries, but doesn't get more specific than that.

Sean,
Just a thought --- why not get an out of U.S. credit card ---- overpay the balance due several thousand, resulting in a "positive balance". Than move money in and out with charges (Book deposits) and refunds (cash outs).
Could make any out of U.S. credit card a neteller? Transactions would be under the radar?
What's wrong with this picture?

Never used a credit card for deposits. Do they show on your bill as a cash advance, with associated fees?
I thought books insisted on credit card chargebacks equal to credit card deposits before they would pay out any other way.
Can you deposit up to your full credit line --- i.e. multiple thousands--- or is there some limit imposed somewhere?
