Does anyone know of a prepaid debit card that can be used at casinos? I don't like debit cards attached to my banking account! |

there are 2 prepaid debit cards that i know about that are accepted at all the sites i've used and there are a lot of sites they are green dot and netspend i personally use netspend and have never had a problem, u can reload it online if u want thru pay pal 1. Visit www.mynetspendcard.com to purchase your card online or search for a nearby retailer at netspend.com 2. Once you receive your card in the mail activate it online and enter the referral code REFERRAL CODE: No credit application. No Bills. No hidden fees. if u do decide to search online for a prepaid card make sure it is ALL ACCESS if it is not some sites will not accept it ALSO I OPENED A CHECKING ACCOUNT IN A DIFFERENT BANK....THAT HAS NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, AND I LEAVE 10.00 IN IT SO THAT IT STAYS OPEN....I HAVE ALL MY WITHDRAWALS SENT TO THAT ACCOUNT SO MY PERSONAL ACCOUNT IS SEPARATE |

I have been using Greendot for years. I have 3 Cards..two Gold cards, and a Premier card. The daily load limits on the Gold cards are $500., each; so if you are a big spender, you should spend the one time fee of $20. and get the Premier card, and get a load limit of $2000. load fees on that one are $7.95; $4.95 for the Gold. www.greendotonline.com |

I'm from US too, it doesn't have anything to do with that. A lot of casinos have problems with VISA/MC, and sometimes it is the same with these. Most of the cards have rules against gaming. If you are lucky, your casino will debit it under an inconspicuous name, so the transaction goes thru. You just have to play around with the cards and casinos that are available. I know Villento, Rich Reels, and Casinos at Fortune Lounge take the Greendot. (off the top of my head..it's getting kinda late, I'll check some tomorrow) |

I also recently learned about ewalletxpress too and as I understand it we in the USA can fund that with e-check and use that @ casinos! If we were not under a dictatorship here in the USA we could spend our money any way we choose but...Big Brother always has to watch out for the USA idiots because we just don't know how to spend\manage our money so we need dictator Big Brother watching over our shoulder to protect us from ourselves! lol |

I used to purchase prepaid visa cards at the mall which costs $2.00 each card but it only worked at micro gaming casinos so I got myself net spend card and it works at almost every casinos but fee to reload is very high(4.95) so I tried to put highest  $ If I can afford.I can not use ewalletexpress because of my hubby, he would kill me if I touch our banking account with any gambling reasons so I don't let him lecture me for hours and hours. |

I guess you are not winning! :  hey, I just look at it as if it is finance charge. It is actually much cheaper. |

Hey ladybee43,
The netspend card works at ALL casinos, well every1 I have tried so far.
www.netspend.com You can check out their website and even order a card on line. Here in California it is easy to reload with money at check cashing places. Also try www.metropcs.com/visa Metro is actually a cheap cell phone service, but they have a card that works everywhere also, you can order it on line also. I reload that 1 at moneygram, which is very convenient.
GOOD LUCK HUN!!!!

You know after I sent that I said, I hope she has a good sense of humor because I am such a wise-guy  I can't help it...I am the same way, win it all, give it all back Sometimes I think I am better off just playing for fun so I can get a fix, then it doesn't cost anything, and I still have money at the end of the night |

if the visa or m/c is distributed thru a bank, very few casino's accept it if the visa or m/c is purchased by u, and is a prepaid card....make sure you can reload it also in order for it to work AT ALL SITES.......MAKE SURE IT IS AN ALL ACCESS CARD |
