Default Re: disputing a visa debit charge for poker-has anyone done this before?

Well, think of it this way. Someone under 21 goes to Vegas, get inside of a casino, plays a slot machine, and wins a jackpot. Once security finds out he is underage, they will not pay him his winnings, becuase he wasn't allowed to be there in the first place.

Silly. Unless you can say if said underage individual LOST money at a casino, and then told them he was underage and they gave him his money back, your analogy makes no sense.

Good thing you didn't post this in the internet forum... you would be flamed left and right because everyone here knows there is no boyfriend, you donked off your money, and now you want to try to get your gambling debt off your back under some false pretense. Live and learn. Ask your folks for the money, get another job... hold yourself responsible for your actions.

Okay, since you're going to say it really isn't you, and it's your boyfriend yada yada yada... in the slim chance that's the case, deal with it with your boyfriend. It's not any institution's fault you have a scumbag boyfriend. If it's a joint checking account, take him to court and he will be held responsible; if it's only your name on the account, it's your debt because you gave him permission to use the card. Whatever. It's not the law, the site, the bank's problem- it is your problem.
