Can I use my amex card to join any books ? Or I can only use mastercard and visa. Everywhere I go it only offers MC/VISA

Thank you

Years ago WSEX took AMEX, but that is long gone. I haven't heard of any others.

I would say that if it doesn't list it as an option it won't take it.

Amex is very strict against gambling, no books openly take it

1st ...Discover Card & Amex said it's had a policy for years to not do business with any site that it knows participates in online gambling. If the company finds out that one of its clients is running an online casino, it pulls the account

2nd....Amex charges such a high fee to process their cards that most books wouldn't dare accept them.

3rd....Amex has no problem to charge back the merchant

not trying to talk about dep methods...

I thought about using WU, and right before I got to the page to confirm, there was a huge warning about using WU for gambling purposes....

i stopped. I hear WU is widely popular so I had a hard time believing everyone ignores this warning (hell, if they do though, I would too)....just made me think I was doing it incorrectly. Is there another way to WU or does everyone agree to this?

They probably use it for legal purposes as a disclaimer.
