Funded Matchbook with bank wire. Took about 8 days for it to hit the account.

[quote=BuddyBear;230159]where do we get prepaid VISA cards from...and how much can we put on them?

I get mine from Walgreens, the bad part is the ones they sell are only good up to $100 each, I had to buy 20 of them. However Bet Jamaica paid all the costs for the cards ($4.95 each) when I made the deposits over the phone.

It took awhile on the phone, because I had to give the cs agent at bj the card #s on each card, but she was very polite, and was very nice about it.

Check with your book, because it seems they only take certain brands of pre paid visa cards.They actually told me where to buy them from and what kind to buy.

I got my prepaid visa card at wiredplasticvisa.com

Order a card and it will take a little bit over a week. It has all kinds off funding methods (Wester Union, Money Gram, Eft, paypal, etc.). Read about all the fee's and how it works to make sure is right for you.

I am not sure how much you can put on it but i am sure you can find it somewhere on the website. Great customer service also.

Lol! Sorry, long week. Still, paying $100 to get 2K into a book doesn't seem like a sustainable business model... I guess books did pay instacash neteller back in the day though.

Reno and his partner Fendy load up every Monday morning when the HEB truck in Marble Falls TX come in they actually camp out in tents. They basically wipe the entire stock week after week.

prepaid companies= license to print money

I'm thinking about loading BetJM via cashier's check using FedEx. A few questions:

1) Who has used this method? Please share your experience.
2) What is the difference b/t a cashier's check vs. Bank Draft? If there any advantage of one over the other?
3) Besides BetJM, which other top sportbook accepts this method of deposits?

Thank you.

Used a virtual Visa card to open an account with BetJam in the last hour. I'm pretty f-ing happy to be back in the game!

BetJamaica is a great one for them and with netspend too there EaglesPhan. I have deposited several times with Bet Jamaica with my netspend card. Even after I got the one in that had my name on it, it still even works. I hope it keeps working for me, I will keep using it to fund BetJamaica as long as there is no problems.

I've heard about this but have been waiting to hear a first-hand account of the card having been successfully used for an online gaming transaction.

Of course even if it does work today, there's still no guarantee it will continue to work tomorrow.

Default credit cards

Was able to fund BoDog with a Bank of America Debit Visa, which is basically a card linked to my checking account. That option's pretty limited though, but WSEX is accepting $5000 a month on those and had no problem with that either.

Click2pay also remains an option for those who already have accounts. I've also hear positive feedback regarding "EcoCard", which I know is accepted by many online casinos (although I'[m not sure what if any sportsbooks are currently accepting it).

someone please explain how do you withdraw your money once your Prepaid Visa card is deposited and no longer working since it can only be use once, right?

doesn't the book make you fax all those BS docs of your Prepaid Visa Card and you personal info before withdraw??

keeping hearing how great Visa prepaid cards work easily at sportsbook. But I always wonder how do you make withdraw back to the card or you don't?

please tell us your experience of withdrawing from books making PP visa cards.

Many Thanks
