    Bookmaker question

    can anyone tell me why all of a sudden they cant take **** cards anymore? they dont seem to want to answer the question, and dont even want to say when they'll be able to again. instead they just tell me they can take **..... any ideas on whats going on there? seems kinda shady

    Could be a problem with their processor. Might need to find a new one. Wire them the money instead.

    I would not do it online. Wire it in person if you have an agent in your vicinity.

    I just find it odd, i managr a large retail corporation, and anytime your dealing with the publics money,i would think your ability to take the most used form of payment would be priority. but hey...what do i know?

    Clearly not much about the offshore industry. Do you not realize processing payments to/from the US is somewhat dificult these days? Every book experiences processor issues from time to time for various methods.

    I would not compare your retail business with an offshore gambling shop. It's a horse of a different color.

    I understand that its different,I just think I'd have a different answer than just " we offer **" .and when my customer asked me when they can expect to be able to use their card again " we have no further information" . at least enlighten me and tell me your having technical difficulties and we'll call or email once its resolved. hopefully its fixed soon

    When they say we take v card, it does not mean any v cards will work. It is really a hit or miss, but the problem is not at book's end, more likely the receiver is flagged by the card processor.

    I tried using my **** card on the 15th but they said they weren't able to process cards from the US. They said I had to do the **** Voucher thing but that has turned into a pain. I'm not a big gambler just wanted to deposit $100 so the CC route is really my only option. I think bank transfers and money transfers are $500 min.

    Usually money transfers are about $100 minimum.
