I have been having this same problem. Any credit card that I have ever had has never let me use it to gamble online. Period.

I have been able to use my bank debit card, however. I have always preferred to use my debit card b/c deposits and withdrawals are processed faster this way than with Neteller.

Last week I was able to use my debit card at Allslots. This past weekend however I could not use my dc at Allslots, Big Dollar, Royal Vegas, or Vegas Palms. My mil could still use her dc at Royal Vegas, so she added her card to my RV account and deposited money for me. I got an email from them this morning. Evidently a third party card on your account is a big no-no.

I spoke with an online casino support desk over the weekend. They pretty much told me the only deposit options for US players anymore is a credit/debit card or an Eco account. I signed up for the Eco account, but I doubt I will ever use it. It is kinda like Western Union. You wire the money, which takes days to get to the account (Europe based) and there is a fee involved. And I have read on the net that this may not be an option for the US players for much longer.

Unless the online casinos come up with something soon, it looks like online gambling is going to be a thing of the past for the US players.

I love our government and George Dumya. They really need to tell me how to spend MY money. If it wasn't for them, I don't know what I would do...........

I agree with the atmosphere side of it, but in dh's and my case, online casinos are really the only option for us right now. We have 3 young kids and very few offers to ever have a babysitter. It is just plain easier, and in the long run, cheaper for us to be able to play online.

I read on compatiblepoker.com that a new e-wallet option is going to be available to US players starting tomorrow. It is called wirecard. It is like a pre-paid Mastercard. Here is a link with some info

I am planning on signing up for this. I am going to try it out and see how it goes.

As for doing better at land casinos vs. online casinos-to be honest, we have done much better in the last couple of years at the online casinos than we have in Tunica. I have racked up lots of *free* cash points at the casinos and have been sent lots of bonus cash in the mail for the online casinos that add up to way more than I ever got from the Tunica casinos. And we are by no means high rollers. Not even close.

My mil tried her bank debit card last night at Royal Vegas. It does not work anymore. It worked Sunday, but not now. I read an article on gambling911.com about the online gambling law. Kinda interesting. I read an article somewhere else on the net about how the government has been secretly sending subpoenas to major credit card companies like HSBC, Bank of America, Capital One and Chase, requesting copies of any transactions that has to do with online gambling. The government, according to the article, is not going after individual gamblers per se. They are going after the financial institutions and anybody from the US (stockholders, CEO's) they think is making money off of the online casinos in any way.
