Prepaid VISA not working now???

GatorLuck · #1 07-16-2007, 10:19 AM

Hey all, I don't post much here, and I have scanned the official threads so hopefully I did not miss something that answers my question/problem.

As you know, the deposit options for US players are increasingly limited these days. Recently I found an easy way to get money onto PS, and that is via prepaid VISA gift cards that you can purchase at your local drug store. This worked for me a few weeks ago, I made some profit, cashed out because I am a poor college student [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], and now yestarday I tried doing the same thing again. But this time, my deposit request using the same exact type of card was declined. I am positive I entered everything in correctly. Has there been a recent change in pokerstars or maybe VISA policy that I'm not aware of?

Any input at all would be appreciated, thanks and sorry if this is a redundant thread.

Make sure it is a "gifttogo" visa (yellow package sold at walgreens) or "netspend" visa(found at check cashing stores). And be sure the card was activated by the person who sold it to you.

I thought I read on here a while back that the Visa cards no longer work for Stars.

gift2go is no longer working on pstars. all-access gift cards are still working.

I did this just last week. Gift-2-go was rejected. I called the company to check the balance and make sure it was purchased correctly, and the recording stated as of 7/10 their cards were no longer accepted at gaming sites. I picked up an all-access Visa gift card, and it worked. You can go to the all-access website and find a location near you where it can be purchased.
