    Default OK, What's going on with xxxxxxcard?

    I had posted earlier about this funding method. I've reloaded several times with it at the Greek (damn casino!).

    I fund the card very easily with my **** card. And the Greek accepts the deposit from xxxxx with no problem. And the transaction immediately shows up as a pending transaction on my **** card with those pending funds not available. All as expected.

    However, after a few days the pending transaction drops off, and I am not charged anything on my card for the transaction. I don't know if this is because my bank is rejecting the transaction (remember it's initially accepted) or that xxxxx is not actually charging me. I'd rather not contact my CC folks about this; I'd rather not draw attention to anything gaming related with them.

    Maybe you would think this is a good thing, but I know there are no free lunches and this evntually will come around to bite me. I sure don't want the Greek to somehow think I am scamming them; I feel like I could win a buck or two there if I stay away from the casino.

    Any thoughts on this?

    I've used xxxxx a few times, as my check card linked my checking account will not put a deposit through to any kind of gaming website...never had any problems, you might want to contact your bank directly, or just check your statement online.

    I just checked my CC balance and I'm experiencing the same thing. This is kinda odd... Anyone else having this issue?

    same thing happened to me. The charges showed up on my bank account, then disappeared later on that day like nothing ever happened.... then about 2-3 weeks later the charges hit again permanently.
