Does anyone know of a good quality sports book where credit card deposits never fail? I've been searching for awhile and keep getting denied. Thank you.

[mocash]

i've been searching as well

[ktorp18]

I use to use sportsbetting.com but about a month ago they stopped taking deposits from my card so I had to cash out. It seems every major sportsbook gets denied.

i know what you mean im led to understand sportsbook.com accepts most cards but am unsure on how safe playing there is

Linesmaker is safe.. Don't believe everything you read on these forums, if you don't take bonuses at multiple sister sites and try to bet against them, you're fine.

They just added a new feature which poster Shamswoof wrote about, where they track your payouts through DHL on the site for you and show you where your funds are every step of the way.

[ktorp18]

yeah I'm gonna steer clear from there...i'm looking at world sports exchange right now, they have a system for instant check deposits, so i'm going to try that.

[ktorp18]

i just tried linesmaker.com...denied again

[frostno98]

Intertops or YouWager both B book's will accept some credit cards and most debit cards. Bookmaker is also another book with high credit card acceptance, but I don't play their anymore because their payout option sux.

Wait..

Did you go into "my account", and add your zip code? You have to do that before any card is accepted.. It still might be after that, but I had a card declined until I did it, live chat told me to.

It might not work every single time, but it will work more than not. In case you do not know, here is how it all operates. CC companies key in on certain merchant names that are suspicious and will block the transaction UNTIL you call them. Understand people, if the processing name they are using is not something obvious like "Sportsbook.com" (which nobody uses their real name) then they don't really know for sure that those pre-authorizations are really for anything other than a new dildo or what the hell ever. You never have to tell the CC company what the transaction is for EVER, and most would NEVER ask. You just say that you are trying to make an online purchase and the merchant is telling you that it is being blocked and you were told to call. These transactions are being blocked because they are suspicious, not because they are potential gaming sites. Not to mention, they are electronically blocked by focusing in on suffixes and prefixes and unfamiliar names and web addresses. They are not blocked by a person anyway. Once you call and request the block to be lifted you will be able to make your deposit, EVERYTIME. You will then find that certain casinos, Bodog is a good example, has hundreds of false billing names and some will require you to call in and release the block and some will go straight through. For example, when Bodog uses "msinfo.com" my bank will always block it. I've been using the same CC for 2 years and have made no less than 2000 deposits at Bodog, Sportsbook, SBG, and BetUs, all occaisonally requiring a simple call to the 800 number on the back of the card. If you are too lazy to do this then just go get a Visa gift card. You MUST activate it online and then go register it online also after activation. As long as the registration information (name, zip code, phone number) matches what your casino has on file for you then it will ALWAYS work. If your asked if this is a gift card, say no. Casinos get sick of gift cards not working because people do not register them and when they run their little test to see if their information matches the card, nothing comes up. So they sometimes say they don't take gift cards, but as long as you register it, then it appears no different to them.

Welcome to the SBR forum, and thanks for the tip!

[undertheover]

I should have also added: Just because your card has gone through multiple times without a call to the CC company once your favorite gaming site has found a billing name that your CC company likes this doesn't mean it can't and won't sometimes all the sudden be blocked and require a call.

I've been able to use mine at intertops, sportsbook.com and matchbook with no problems.

[BigOrangeTitans]

nine.com
matchbook
wsex - call if its denied
betruss

[bigboydan]

Here is a list of the books that haven't been mentioned above that accept credit cards at a very high success rate:


BetOnline (SBR rated A-) must phone-in transaction
Carib (SBR rated B)
PayOffsPlus (SBR rated B-) The entire First Fidelity family accepts them from my understanding
BetEd (SBR rated B-)
FiestaBet (SBR rated C)
Betruss (SBR rated C-) They did 3 weeks ago I read
SportsInteraction (SBR rated D+)

[FreeFall]

it's the bank that denies your card not the book, as far as I know.

Didn't read this thread, but wanted to contribute. Sorry if others have already said these things. Here is my understanding:

Some credit card companies allow the card charged by these books while others don't. Some new charges are being made as CASH ADVANCES which incur additional costs by your bank/credit card company. Some books are better at getting the funds than others.

[bigugly]

Anyone know of any others?

[bigboydan]

Intertops (SBR Rated B+) is the only other book I know of off the top of my head that accepts credit cards (visa) sir. Of course you can use that Mypaycall to fund account with a CC, however the last I heard some books were having issues with it.

[bigugly]

Thanks. Do you have any idea if Visa or Mastercard brands have higher success rates?

[SSLP]

Yes , there is a higher success ratio on Visa than Mastercard

If so, be careful. If they are charged as cash advance, the interest is approximately doubled (I think) - and you have to pay off any "regular" balance before you can pay off your cash advance. (In other words, the doubled interest will apply until you pay off the card in full)

As SSLP mentioned above, it's mainly Visa that has the better success rate. However from what I can remember, I recall reading that YouWager had a decent success rate with MC transaction. In fact I can't remember offhand which First Fidelity family book it was, but one of them could process Discover a few months ago.

[bigugly]

Thanks guys. Good thread.

Any of you had a CASH ADVANCE experience with WSEX/MATCHBOOK/BETONLINE? Those are the main 3 I am looking at right now.

I have used a visa with Matchbook recently. The charge appeared as a normal charge. I don't mind funding them with Visa because they give you commission credits. As long as you don't lose all your money right away, funding your account with a card doesn't hurt.

Does anyone know if Matchbook's payment processor is the same as WSEX's?

Thats actually a good question, however I don't know the answer. Although since they are affiliated with each other, I would have to believe so sir.

[InTheHole]

Any book that uses a third party such as superbook, sportsbook, or sportsbetting.com.

Undertheover, not having luck with my credit cards. I've used a good number, and only some luck with one debit card. What kind of credit cards have you guys been using? I want to know what you have had luck with. I haven't tried a CITI card yet. I may try that.
