General Poker Discussion: Visa Gift Cards

They have worked in the past and still may work in the future here. I think they use fictitious or front businesses to launder the money so Visa or MC doesn't know it's a site. Sooner or later they catch on, stop the transactions. The cat and mouse game goes on.

Here's what I did after trying to use a gift card here unsuccessfully. I went to a rakeback site (rakemeback) and signed up there, then signed up at Absolute and deposited with my gift card and it worked. Now I get 30% rakeback that I never got here and the visa gift cards work. I had to call to verify after deposit this time. They will send you a check for cash out but there is a $8 fee to keep yahoos from cashing out every time they get 50 bucks in their account. I don't want to sign up for another payment processor and give out all my banking info again plus I have heard some bad things about epassporte.

So far so good. I couldn't make any money on this site after being successful on several others until they closed to US players. My BR would go up and down slightly until I ran into long spells of bad beats. Maybe I played different or the competition is tougher...whatever. I have a acct at PS but hard to get money on and off there too without processor and no rakeback.

Yes, i went to my local super pantry store bought a visa all-access gift card for 54.95. NetSpend is written on the back in the bottom right hand corner. My name on full tilt poker is exactly the same as the one that i typed in for the card? Can anyone help me get my 50 dollars on here

Who's backing that Visa gift card?

(It should be listed on the bottom right of the back of the card)

These gift cards work for me and they might be the best way to deposit out there. The 4.95 fee is worth not having to deal with hassles like neteller and other payment processors.

Netspend all access visa worked perfect, got location online. It was $60 to get $50 or $100 no fee so i got $100. that was at a check cashing place. that after weeks of messing with netteller and the like....

if you win how do u plan on getting your money? it can't be transfered back to the gift card and FT doesnt issue paper checks

There may be a delay as noted on the web site and make sure that your name is EXACTLY the same as listed in Full Tilt.

Let us know if it still doesn't work.

PS: I'm buying one as a Valentines gift in the morning, I'll post about success/problems soon after.

Also, there is a section of the site where you can put in address information. Click 'cardholder information'.

Thanks. I looked at their site online and found a retailer a couple of miles from my house and made a deposit without any problems.

And, I won double my deposit in a few hours so I sent a bit your way

i get mine at my gas station when il ooked them up online to find the nearest one if said nearest girft card 1.8 miles away i was like where in the world is that thats just a walk away lol. But i drove it was at the shell gas station

Don't forget the usage fee - do you have the one time 2 dollar fee or a monthly? Deposit the amount into the site less the fee. It should go through

This also worked for me. Just I got mine at Vons which is basically the same store as safeway and it worked here and on PS.
