#1 Posted: 4/2/2012 5:45:46 PM I read in an earlier thread that vanilla cards that are blue with a shopping cart work. I've seen them in the store but I find it hard to believe. Gift 2 go as of 3/29/12 is USA only. Does anyone have a gift card in mind as of today? thanks |

#4 Posted: 4/4/2012 8:15:37 AM Seems that most these gift cards (gift 2 go & vanilla) are no longer being authorized for international transactions. There's even a gambling disclaimer on the gift 2 go' website when you register your card. Sucks, because I always deposited with these cards. |

#6 Posted: 4/6/2012 5:50:15 PM The LAST option is to get a account now card. www.accountnow.com, I just found out today that all visa debit and gift cards are restricted for international use (I wonder why....). It's either the money transfers, or a bank account. The good thing is that those cards are like having a bank acount so you can authorize those purchases because you actually control your money. What sucks is that there's a 4.95 international trasaction fee. |

So what just buy a visa gift card then deposit on that site, then use that site to deposit in the form of a cc on a sportsbook? |

#9 Posted: 4/7/2012 12:10:41 AM Western Union has gift cards that are allowed for international use, it's a 5.00 fee. Also, it might be safe to register with western union on there website so you can do money trasnfers online. The thing is most books has a min of $100 to do money transfers expect betonline.ag, I think its 25 or 50. So by default betonline.ag is now my book, |

#13 Posted: 4/9/2012 8:26:41 PM most "credit card" gift cards can no longer be used for international transactions.
basically you have to use a card where the user is not anonymous. The govt wants the ability to know who you are if making internation purchases. I think it's homeland security/big brother BS.
If you get sometype of cash card you can add funds to it via cash in a store and that will work for international purchases, however you have to register the card with all your information and even social security number possibility (not 100% sure about that).
