Visa Netspend card

I use the visa netspend card to make deposits to pokerstars, very simple and instant though there is a small charge to load it. Haven't seen much mention of this among all the worried posts. It still works fine. Just thought I'd mention it to those looking to deposit.

How do you withdraw? Does Stars put the money back on your card?

No they won't do that, use paper check.

It looks like the trend there will be weird methods for depositing and cashouts will almost always be checks.

does this card work for fulltilt, absolute, ub, or doyles?

I bought a netspend card awhile ago. I was under the assumption that I would be able to put at least $1000 on it. The card arrives. I go to my local Von's to put money on it. $1000, limit exceeded. $750, limit exceeded. Apparently the max you can put on the card is $500. And I already have a VirtualVisa with $500. I bought the Netspend card with the sole purpose of being able to put more then $500 on it. Now I have a completely useless Netspend card.

I got my Netspend card and loaded it, but it didn't work for me at WildJack's Poker (Prima site). Anyone else have this problem? It looked like people before had no problem loading funds but it's not working for me at the moment.

Then contact the card provider and ask to have your limits raised. Can't hurt to ask.

Here is my Netspend trip report.

I was getting a money order for a friend when I walked into MoneyBox. I saw the brochure about the reloadable prepaid visa. This Visa allows you to stick with one card and add funds to it at any time. The fee is $9.95 to buy the card. I then had to register the card online. The website for the card is quite useful. Its very easy to track your funds.

You can basically pay $0 fee, and get charged $1 per credit transaction and $2 for any ATM withdraw. Or you can pay the $9.95 monthly pay, have no charges for credit transactions but still $2 atm fee.

Plus I notice something huge. You can do free transfers from Paypal to your card. Takes 3 days to post, but that is still an excellent feature.

I deposited instantly on Stars. I got the Vince Young endorsed card. They give you a temp card until your real card arrives in the mail. Current limit the website told me was $2,500 to deposit until you get the real card.

This thing is great.
