of the online gaming environment in the US, Mastercard has imposed "

I have also been seeing posts from people about netspend pre-paid online visa. The posters are stating that their netspend card isn't allowing transactions thru when depositing to casinos. This really friggin' sucks!!! Land of the free my arse!!!

And I have read and experienced also, the same with Wired Plastic. Transactions being denied. All I have to say is thank goodness for QuickTender (for now)!"
"
Also, in my original post, I stated that this may affect all MG casinos. I should have said this will affect all online casinos, I'm sure!

"

I have experienced this problem with my mastercard at Microgaming casinos. Used my Netspend Visa and have had no problems yet. Crossing my fingers they won't cut that off too.
