Hi,
I'm assuming there are other Green Dot/Walmart credit card users here 'cus I've seen some references to it. I have a Green Dot VISA that I've had for a few years, and use at all the Bet on Soft casinos and a couple of RTG's I play at.
I got an email from them yesterday. In 3 weeks they're changing the bank that back the cards to their own bank - Green Dot Bank - ---
"As of February 11, 2014, your card Walmart MoneyCard, which is issued by GE Capital Retail Bank, Member of the Federal Insurance Corporation (FDIC for its acronym in English) will be issued by Green Dot Bank, Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation * (FDIC for its acronym in English). Please review the new agreement to the Cardholder and Privacy Policy of Green Dot Bank. Charges on your card have not changed.
Card, PIN number and current account will remain the same, and no action is required on your part.
Please note the following three changes:
Remains in effect from 21 days of receiving this email, you can not use your ATM card outside the United States."
First, they reference 3 changes, but I only see the one. Second, at first I read this as we won't be able to use the credit card outside the US, but now I'm seeing it says "ATM card".
Did anyone else get this, and how are you interpreting it? If we can't use the CC outside the US, that kills all our casino deposits.

There just not allowing you to make a cash withdrawal outside of the US.
Otherwise as far I'm seeing there not restricting foreign based credit / debit transactions. There just basically locking your card to US only cash withdrawals. Otherwise for all other activity your fine.
I'm guess just going along with the paranoia that foreign based cash withdrawals can be risky and if your card is stolen. It can be hard to recover your money because it was withdrawn in cash. -

Lips, I won't call because I don't want to call attention to my account for any reason. Several years ago I had a Green Dot MC I used everywhere and had for 2 or 3 years. One day they called me and said I was using it for gambling and they cancelled my account. I then went to Wired Plastic which I used for about 3 years, then they did the same thing.
I've had this Green Dot VISA for about 3 yrs now, and use it regularly at Casino Extreme & INetBet. It's the only prepaid card I use so I don't go around from casino to casino trying to use it because I don't want Green Dot to pick up the wrong code from someone & cancel it.Rated:5/ 5

BE VERY CAREFUL USING A WALMART MONEY CARD FOR DEPOSITS. I just recently had my Walmart money card shut down because of "suspicious" unallowed activity. Just trying to inform everyone what is going on. I have been very successful using my netspend visa for my deposits. I have never been questioned or ever had a problem. I have been using it for over a year now, frequent without a single issue.

Hi I also use a walmart /visa green dot card all the time. I have had it for over a year and used it at over 20 different casinos and no problem or denial so far.
I also just got the up date a few days ago about the new changes. I also took it to mean only cash withdrawals in foregin contries. Well lets just hope for the best when Green Dot takes over.
I will be so happy when online gambling is legal in all of US and not this state bye state crap.
Now that it is legal in three states I think it will be moving fast in other states. I live in CA and I know there working on online gambling here. -

I have a walmart moneycard. Visa. I got a call yesterday from Miami Club informing me my credit card charged back 3 charges! I had been unable to log into my walmart moneycard account for a while, probably because of the changes they were making.
I logged in just now and there is another charge back. Looks like a bet on soft deposit.
My card now has a balance of over $100 and it should be 0.
Do they really have a right to just cancel a transaction without notifying me?
Miami Club was very nice and have not closed or halted my account in anyway.
I need to resolve this and have the CC return back the funds. I just read through all the new changes and it does state the new Green Dot is now allowed for use at online casinos.
Any suggestions as to what to say to the CC so they fix this?
Thanks! -

Are there any merchants where I can’t use my card?
Walmart MoneyCards may not be accepted by certain types of merchants such as casinos, gambling web sites, and merchants in certain foreign countries.
Does this mean Green Dot does not allow it or that it is the casino's discretion to accept it? -

Hi
I have a Walmart Green Dot and a debit Visa card I use for Pay&Paste.
I use my Walmart Green Dot card almost everyday. Never have had a problem been using it for several years. However It is not accepted at Paste&Pay. that is why I use my Visa debit card.
I had a Net Spend card I was using at Paste&Pay worked great for a long time. Then about six months ago it stopped working at all sites outside US. -

I cannot say enough good things about the Tmobile prepaid visa. Accepted everywhere, free to load for tmobile customers and absolutely no fees at all. Never had a problem with it.
Where do you buy those, Jodi? I'm not a TMobile customer.
Any Tmobile store should have them or you can order one online. You can refill through money gram or a reloadit pack too. Reloadit is only 2.95 never had it declined anywhere. -

My green dot money card gives me issues at literally every casino except win a day casino and all of the club world casino group casinos. I loved it at first but that thing costs me like $5 to reload it every time, $6 maintenance fee they claim is once a month but ends up being almost 2 times a month because they move the date they take that fee off of your card closer and closer to the last months date. They charge a foreign transaction fee IFFFFFF they even approve the foreign transaction which is almost never. lol i feel like i was super debby downer-ish about this card....but honestly...this thing sucks...lol.I would not recommend it...find a card you can use internationally and the casino you want to play at accepts it.

I had trouble with Green Dot and paste and pay. I suppose for whatever reason paste and pay is blocking prepaid cards. If your having issues with having it go through, my suggestion is to find a small local bank that doesn't have foreign transaction restrictions on it's visa debit card. Open an account with them. Then only deposit gambling money into that account. That should fix the problem with paste and pay.
Also if they happen to take wire transfers, then that solves your getting money out of the casino problem to boot without exposing your personal home banking account. That's at least what I do. -

Hi
I have a Walmart Green Dot Card That I've been using for over 4 yrs. I have had no problems.
The two things you cannot use it for are Paste & Pay and PayMyCard.
I had a prepaid Net Spend card that worked great for about a year. The nice thing about that card was it worked at Paste & Pay. Then one day I tried to use it at Paste & Pay about 6-8 months ago and it would not go through I really never tried to find out why it stopped working I just quit using it.
Finally I just decided to start using my Visa Debit card at Paste & Pay.
