Master Card seized all january receipts for online Gambling??

I posted this in another thread, but another example of Mastercard putting the halt on online gaming transactions.
As you have recently used a MasterCard to deposit into your QuickTender account we are writing to advise you that this card deposit option is currently not available. We will advise you if there is any change to this in the future.

However, funds can still be deposited instantly into your QuickTender account using a Visa card. Plus, you can also make an International Bank Wire or request a merchant payout to your QuickTender account. You’ll be surprised how quick an international deposit can be reflected in your QuickTender Account PLUS we do not charge to receive funds by International Bank Wire (although your bank may charge you a fee to send us the funds).

Rest assured we remain totally committed to supporting your payment needs at our expanding network of QuickTender accepting partner merchants.

If you have any question about this notification or require any further assistance about our other deposit options please contact our support team.

Hi everyone  - perhaps you should have a look at this article in the news section.

I have a QT account with my debit mastercard linked.  I know I can no longer make deposit that way.  I am either going to buy a visa gift card for the first time or transfer funds from my bank account to my QT.  Has anyone in the US done this with QT?  I know it is free with QT but what is your bank charging for the transfer?  I also could use some recommendations for a visa gift card if anyone has any.  I don't want to buy the wrong one.  If they are being denied also I don't want to waste my money.  Thanks for any help!  I really want to play! :-)

I just got my netspend visa card, transfered fund from my netspend mastercard to the visa one and closed my netspend MC.  I know at least the visa still works for at least another 6 months.

I opened an e-walletexspress account and wrote a check visa and mastercard be dammed!!!!!!!!!!!! Not all casinos have it but oh well.

I use a WalMart Visa debit card and have never had a problem depositing at any casino. I got several casino emails last week offering $50.00 to deposit my acct. with my Visa--I did at 3 casino's and they gave me the extra 50.00!! I'm in the USA.   

The government is Stupid! I have a Mastercard that is a Government isued Mastercard that i have not had any problems with. My SSA payments go onto it and thats the govenment. So funny

>:( Figures- THAT'S MY luck....I JUST got a new unsecured Mastercard in the mail the other day. ughhhhhh....Still stick to my Wired Plastic Visa & QT then I guess.

I dont think it will end up being a big deal.  We have been through this over and over for about 10 years in the poker world. One door closes, another one opens.

I miss how it was about 8-9 years ago when you had Party Poker as their own echeck processor, Central Coin, Citadel, Neteller, etc.  It was a simple time to get money in and out and everyone minded their own business.

Then we had the days of the prepaid "phone card", which was nice because it was also an ATM card and most sites would cash out instantly. IE.. you could win $500 and have it in hand 15 minutes later.

I have not yet figured out who has this agenda of shutting down offshore gaming, I know that a large majority of conservatives are against gaming for different reasons..oddly enough they are big supporters of less government and living free.. figure that one out? 

The casino owning tribes have a lot of pull, especially here in Arizona and in California.  People have tried to open non indian card rooms here and have felt the wrath of heavy litigation eventually leading to them being shut down.

Who knows?  What I do know is that I earn my own money and pay my taxes.. how dare you tell me where I can and cannot spend my money as part of your political agenda.  Tax it and make it legal here moron's.

Very nicely written Jocan.  I agree with you totally - particularly on the last sentence.  If someone told me what to do with my money after I've paid my taxes and all the other deductions this govt. levies on my pay, I wouldn't be very happy at all. 

I truly hope that gambling is legalised in USA as a human right.
