Prepaid Visa gift cards no longer accepted?

[kaymay24]

I was told that I can't use Visa gift cards anymore for gaming purposes, has anyone else heard this?  I used one just a few days ago and now I can't....just wondering

I haven't used a gift card in such a long time that I don't know what's up with them lately, kaymay."
"
But since June 1st, when the law went into full affect, nothing surprises me as far as what depositing methods may all of a sudden stop working. "
"
I hope you have other means to deposit by.

I know slots jungle will sign you up for usemywallet immediately without having to deposit more than $500 to their casino and you can use the gift cards to load usemywallet.  Just contact live support and ask for an invitation and within 24 hours you are signed up.Minimum dep. amount is $40 into usemywallet but are accepted almost everywhere.

Hey thanks, I have usemywallet and I didn't even know it could be funded via prepaid gift card.  I'm still earning I guess.  Good luck all

I know that you are only allowed up to 3 registered cards as funding methods at QT. (you are allowed more when you move up in levels. I am at the Silver level and am allowed to register up to 5 cards.)"
"
So, once you add and register the gift card as a funding method, deposit into QT with it and deplete it, you would have to register another for more deposits into QT. Once you hit 3, you will not be allowed to register anymore cards until QT drops one or more of the cards that are registered. You have to contact QT to drop your cards. I think all that would be a hassle but a great suggestion from firebird."
"
Why not get a reloadable card instead? Load it and then register it at QT and use that as your funding method at QT? "
"
Remember that QT only takes Visa now too.

That makes sense, too.  Being in the USA, and with all the changes going on, you never know what is going to work anymore.  Thanks for the suggestions

I had the same problem noone takes them anymore but i heard they might be changing that law they still take prepaid debit cards i use net spend

I use the Walmart pre-paid Visa and the only casino I have issues with is Inetbet so I do not deposit there anymore. You have to wait a few days for the permanent card but it works for me.

Im not sure if this answers your question but i only use pre-paid visas (ALL ACCESS, MYGIFTCARDSITE.COM) and  lastweek i bought one at the same place i aways do and when i tried to use it at the casino i usually play at it was declined, so i looked at the card again and it says for US USE ONLY ...I contacted allaccess and they said they are changing the visas at most of their vendor locations for domestic uses only. I found a place where i live that still sells the International Visas and just used it today....so pre-paid visa still works for me...
