Credit Cards Accepted for Wagering on Sports in Vegas

Akillies · Mar 26, 2012

Cantor Gaming has become the first sportsbook in Las Vegas to accept credit and debit cards to fund wagering accounts. Cantor Gaming is the exclusive provider of mobile gaming and In-Running wagering solutions to the Las Vegas Sands Corp. and is the exclusive race and sports book operator at the M Resort Spa Casino, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the Tropicana Las Vegas and Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Mike Colbert, risk director at Cantor Gaming, said the gaming company saw "quite a few credit cards used to open accounts during the first weekend of March Madness."

"It's a convenience for our customers ... because a lot of people don't have a lot of cash on hand," Colbert said. "I think accepting credit and debit cards will increase the handle and our business."

Cantor claims they will accept million dollar wagers, they are that confident in their numbers.

i wonder if they let you do huge ml parlays. im sure they have no problem taking huge regular parlays, but i heard a couple pros say odds can be evened out with ml parlays, if done right. i know most books talk about how big there limits are for straight wagers and regular parlays, but never heard a book talk about ml parlays

4% fee on your deposit makes it a deal breaker for most.

Yes, because the risk is worth reward for them.
