Default Canadian Funding Option - Visa

If you're looking for an alternative to online e-wallets, consider:

VISA TravelMoney Card

It is a Canadian dollar pre-paid Visa card that will work for deposits and withdrawals online at Gibraltar and UK based Sportsbooks (& Poker Sites).

I know from personal experience that you can withdraw back to a Visa card at these books:

Bet365
Canbet
Stan James
Mansion

Citizensbank in Canada also sells corp gift cards.. You need a canadian address, but you can buy 1000s if you want for your biz...

Yes, as long that you keep the card registered with the Book.

Very nice.

How far in the future is the expiration date usually, and if it expires, will they issue you a new one with your balance for a fee?

Their website says the cards expire two years from issue date.

The fees associated with the CAA / Citizens Bank pre-paid Visa cards seem to be much lower than other cards.

Yes, this is something you can do with a Canadian issued Visa card. Canadian issued Mastercards cannot accept payouts.

I think that most Mastercards, not only Canadian issued Mastercards will not accept withdraws from books.

How can you get the VISA* TravelMoney Card OR CAA prepaid Gift Card??
Do you have to join CAA? Can you buy them in stores?

That is not good news RobZ.

My earlier posts might have been somewhat confusing, I mentioned books that payout to Visa cards and that was accurate information. However, I mentioned the CAA Visa card as an option without ever using one myself, my bad, sorry.

Personally I use a CIBC Visa card and have had no problems depositing or receiving payouts to or from ANY of the UK books I use (Betfair, Mansion, Canbet, Bet365)
