Lips, thanks!  What I need to know now is once I have deposited and won and cashed out to one the methods, how do I get my money back out and into my hands or my bank?  Preferrably without a wire transfer sticking out like a sore thumb.  And I think it's mypaylinq, with a y in pay.
For the poker players and some bingo site players, picclub and mypaylinq are hooked  up together, also and you can transfer between the two.

Hey Lips:
This is gr8, thanks 4 posting   Here's my dilemma, though:
Couple years ago, I was using my bank Visa debit card 2 fund casino account; I ultimately rec'd a phone call from bank manager informing me that if I continued 2 do so, my bank account would b closed.  He said this was the only 'warning' I would receive.  Needless 2 say, I stopped depositing this way
What's 2 say if I use the e-check method that my bank won't deny the transaction, or worse, close my bank account? 
I've thought about paylinq as well, but Lake Palace, etc., don't offer this as an option
FINALLY, ( I promise this is the last point!), say I DO deposit SOMEWHERE using paylinq...... does my bank know that the money is going in2 an online casino?
Thanks again Lips..you're the best :0)

Hi Tinman,

The beauty of this processor is that it can be used for many transactions and not limited to casinos like EWX was making it a bit more obivous. I am going to assume that the transaction is going to be a transaction number on your bank statement and not the name of a casino.

But assuming is not a guarantee. I will give you more concrete info today as soon as support is available later this morn and find out.

Great question!

Lips

Hi Tinman,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Got a bit behind schedule with holiday.

If you were to use your bank card it will be appear on your bank statement ICP INT CAP POOL - STOCKHOLM.

hi lips is there an option for some1 who doesnt have a checking account to deposit and withdraw (i only have a pre paid visa from netspend,and ive been doing it thru quick tender)thanks lips

I'm in the same boat. I don't have a checking account, I've been using a pre-paid visa for years. What do I do now?

        Hey Lips,  can you get Quicktender to wire the money on to a pre-paid VISA?  I recently closed my old checking acct.  and only use a pre-paid to deposit in to QT.    I  use to get ACH  with my bank but haven't withdrawn  recently  so I'm not  sure what method to use.

Update: Gold-Pay will no longer process gambling transactions as of 2/4/11.

Crazy Vegas is now offering players a new payment option:

PlaySafeCard is a alternative to using a credit card or wallet.

 

Neteller and other Ewallets now no longer allow US players to use their services for depositing and withdrawing from USA accepted poker rooms. Also, players reporting that their credit cards are being declined, so below the list all the deposit options for US players:
Instant Checks/eChecks
eWalletXpress
Credit Cards
Western Union
EcoCard/QuickTender
UseMyWallet
American Express
                                    From here LINK REMOVED you may get a list of various other deposit/payment options for US players.

I'm using my card with Western Union over the phone, it takes only around 5 minutes and its a really safe option. I don't know how many casinos have this option but I do recommend it

Thank you Mojack and Rocky for the info. It is greatly appreciated!

Are you sure all those options are available to US players??

No Chilly, NONE of these is available 2 U.S. players....  AND I can't even get my Visa Gift2go pre-paid 2 work now either.  Been since yesterday, and it keeps denying my deposits.....:(

Sorry Jack...these are NOT options 4 U.S. players....

Regretfully we US players are out of options for makinf any deposits. If you use a credit card (provided it gets approved) the card company will now charge you extra for any and all International transactions at the rate of foreign exchange for that country. Some now have a flat fee that is high enough to detour the depositing. Sorry guys, but we are all going to have to wait it out

          Just how much are we talking about?  I mean if I make a deposit for say $30 with a prepaid,  how much are the fees?

          What exactly IS left for us? (US)

I am still having success depositing using a debit card/VISA to the RTG casinos.  In fact, I just had some decent spins at Intertops this weekend, made WR and requested a check Sunday nite...just received an email from them informing me that my check is on the way via FedEx and yesterday was a US holiday!  Now THAT is quick service!  So for me...I'm still having success with Intertops and JC with both deposits and WD.  Just not sure for how long!

That's fantastic,hymacaw and congrats.

I too am still using Visa debit card to deposit at Rtg and Betonsoft casinos.

rialto but on a few only basis guess better be more careful i am so sick of this where is the freedom in our own homes.  guess have to hit a land base 2 hours away been waiting almost a month for a check from casino moons and they always paid me fast. not anymore

I have not deposited in the last week, but are the MST giftcards working for everyone in the US?  I know those have worked for me everytime, even with credit cards that get declined using normal depositing methods.

          Who has these MST cards?

Hi ya Bongo...
Personally I have never used this option because it's being uncommon and it is somewhat hard to find but I know that you will need to purchase your MST Gift Card prior to attempting to funding your online casino account. What it means,before you start funding the MST Gift Cards, you will have to find the casino(s) which accept it.
You must visit their site, create an account, and you will be fully ready to purchase the gift cards.(you will have to purchase one of the cards)====

1. Select one of the MST Gift Card Casinos-----
(Las Vegas USA Casino, Slots Plus Casino, Sun Palace Casino)----I believe these casinos accept this option if not please correct me and post away other casinos where it is accepted.

2. Contact the cashier of that casino and ask them for contact information for their MST Gift Card providers.

3. Visit the website of the partner they refer you to, and purchase a MST Gift Card in the increment you desire.
You will be prompted through the simple purchasing process.

4. You will receive a series of confirmation emails.
The last email will contain the confirmation and/or PIN number associated with your MST Gift Card.

5. Return to the cashier page of the Casino Accepting MST Gift Cards at which you are playing, and select MST Gift Card from the deposit method options menu.

6. You will be prompted to provide the MST Gift Card number, as well as the confirmation or PIN number associated with the card.
You can then designate how much of the funds on the gift card you would like transferred into your casino account.

It can be purchased using a major credit card, debit card, or prepaid card.
This in essence allows players to use their credit cards to fund their casino accounts even though credit card companies no longer approve gambling related transactions.
Because the MST Gift Card is a buffer between the player and their credit card company, there are no restrictions to the purchase.

Hope this will help.

        Hi Wnanhee,  thanks for the info.  I tried the Express Payment method at  a CWC site and it sounds fairly similar.  It was remarkably easy and I thought very quick and efficient.  I guess like you pointed out you are using a card to purchase a card, etc.  Then transfer the 2nd card over as a deposit.  I wish more sites would use something like this, it would definitely make it easier for us.
          I'm assuming the MST is a virtual card in cyberspace?

Hi,jacksrain.

Thanks for the info and it's greatly appreciated.

Just an FYI, none of the list of casinos except Club world group, are US friendly since they are MG casinos.

you still can deposit by visa or mastercard to most RTG casinos.  Look for blue prepaid card under the cashier and follow the instruction, very simple.  I used this method for deposit and withdraw by check courier $25-$35 fee, depends on which casino you play with.

I am still using my Visa Debit card at Rush more group and EH casino.

I don't know how you guys do it. I could never use my personal credit/debit card.

I think it might depend what state you are from or what bank. But i really wish i had that option

Since day one I have always used my bank debit card to deposit.  No fees.  And I had withdrawals sent to my quick tender account.  But no more for me right now.  It's too risky now on whether withdrawals will be paid and how they are done.  I really only played RTG casinos but I haven't gambled online since right before quick tender went down.

Even though you are purchasing a gift card, does it still have to be your own card? I would think it shouldn't matter, if it takes it. I used my husbands and it worked, but I have a feeling it does matter. I guess good thing I didn't win on those

          By the way, which specific kind of VISA  or  M/C prepaids can you directly deposit with?  Many of them flat out don't work.

I don't personally use any prepaid cards well, I used to use Netspend card but now I just use my bank Visa cards simply because it's convenience and no fees involved.
But if you don't like that option, check out few new(?) options listed under banking thread like OKPAY, Moneygram Prepaid Card.(sorry can't be more helpful)

I have been using money line wallet....until yesterday.  they are apparently having some problems..sigh

hey does anyone use the echeck method to deposit???? well and if so is it dfficult to use.i am in the united states,dont know that it matters but,?????

hello Taylor,

I do not use echeck to deposit, based on my knowledge, I don't know any casinos have this deposit option for US players. 

ok thank you TAAADAAA : )

oh regarding echeck deposits i was looking at mypayliq and it says you can deposit by echeck through them o.m.g. i was gonna deposit at Jackpot Capital until i saw the impossible 60x playthrough WOW,forget that!

Visa Gift2Go gift cards no longer allow international transactions..effective 4/1/12

:(

      Since it now appears that my once reliable Visa prepaid went belly up to any overseas transactions, etc.,  does anyone know if there are anymore deposit options that might be in the works?

Don't know if any e-wallets in the works but I doubt it as they have all been shut-down due to DOJ and doubt any companies will risk it.

So, why don't you just get a debit card for your bank account?  Works with no issues for me.
instead of loading a pre-paid card, you deposit to your bank account with no fees.

Hi Footdr, I've posted this elsewhere but i think it's worth posting again, if 4 no other reason than 2 share my experience.  I, 2, used my bank debit card.  It is tied 2 my checking account @ my bank, where i've been a customer 4 many years.  Well, after using my bank card 4 many on-line casino deposits, i rec'd a phone call from the bank manager.  He rather rudely informed me that it is illegal 2 use U.S. bank accounts 2 fund on-line gambling casinos & that if i continued 2 do so, my bank account would b closed, w/ no further warnings.  We're not talking about a hill-billy local bank, either.  That being said:  since that happened 2 me, the on-line casinos have gotten a little clever about noting the transactions as 'on-line music voucher' & the like, so maybe the banks aren't able 2 trace the deposits 2 a casino.  I know from reading others' posts on here that many have used their bank account debit cards & have never had a problem, but i just wanted 2 post this as a potential result.

Same here i use my debit card from a large bank, but knock on d they didn't call me yet and i have several accts with them. So i use one of them for line gaming only so if they close that acct no big deal cuz i only put enough fund in there to cover what i used.

        Hey Kynettie,  just curious why a debit from your bank would be so much more reliable than a prepaid Visa (for example)?  I had been using my  Visa prepaid for a while with no problems  QT (until  they put the kabash on that),  buying prepaids to use online and recently using My Paylinq.    About a week and a half or so ago the deposit didn't go through on My Paylinq.    Freaked me out, man. I call the company and they say (politely) you cannot use the card for so and so.  So now I guess it's about as useful as a Vanilla Visa only good within the US.    I mean this just came  totally out of the blue.  No notice, nothing.  I had to find out the hard way.  So now I don't know what to do,  I have a MC credit card that I have never used in that capacity,  little nervous about it.  Any suggestions,  anybody?
