Alternatives to Firepay/Neteller?

xSCWx · #1 10-22-2006, 06:31 AM

Alright, I have a visa credit card and have been using firepay since I started playing a good while back. With all the chaos I decided to take a break. Neteller is making me send them a photo of my SS card which I don't really want to do, and is quite a hassle. Also, to my understanding I believe they are closing down soon.

What are some alternatives with the new legislation that I can use to start playing again?

Thanks.

check in the mail...just got the first of my life last week...simple, very cheap if not free. Just harder to deposit back on the site is all....so I keep a bigger roll online than normal.

I still use neteller though for 99% of my transactions...going to continue to do so until they shut me out....that is, if they shut down U.S. players, it's not FOR SURE yet.

I'm sorry, I'm confused by the first paragraph, could you explain a little more?

I guess I could go through the steps to get my Neteller account reactivated though.

sure...there is moneybookers, mycitadel - those 2 ewallets have great reputations.
i know with mycitadel, you can use your credit card to fund your account. they will send you this device called secureswipe in which you swipe your card with.

That sounds interesting, I'll look into those.

Thanks!

i don't quite get the point of a "secureswipe" ... what's the difference between that and typing in your card info? other than to defeat extreme laziness, i don't see why you'd need it.

I would guess the data is encrypted as soon as it swipes, so this would somewhat protect you from trojans and keyloggers getting your CC info.

That's a good point... I guess I don't think about that stuff since I tend to avoid downloading random programs.
