Debit card..........?

Question

Has anybody had a transaction blocked for online bingo betting etc. even though card is in credit.

Answer 1

It is generally a good idea to use an "ewallet" when playing on gambling sites.  This makes it easy to deposit and withdraw your money from a bank account and deposit winnings, as well.  There's a list of methods at http://dagus-statistics.com/funding.htm for a list of methods US residents can use to transact with gambling sites.  Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes, some cards block payments to online betting sites. You may get a telephone call from the card issuer asking if it is OK to process the payment. Beware some cards also have some cash advance charges for online gambling, check your terms and conditions carefully...
