I am thinking about making a separate account just for poker and would like to be able to use a credit card. I currently have cards from 3 different issuing banks, and none of them are accepted anywhere for poker. For those of you who are able to use credit cards, who is the issuing bank?

The only site that I have ever been able to use a CC on was Empire/Party Poker and it only accepted my Citibank Mastercard.

i was able to use visa debit card with PP.
The bad thing about credit cards is that if you make any profit on your deposit they first will refund your credit card for the amount and then whatever is left over will be sent to you, it just sounds too much much of a hassle.
Or you could sign up through Neteller and you can use your bank account number directly, works just as great if not better.

I either totally missed the spot to get my credit card credited back or something because when i went to cash out i couldn't find anything that would let me put it back on my CC as a payment. I had to withdraw everything to my Neteller account and then make a withdrawal from my Neteller account to my checking account and then pay my CC from my checking account. Silly. I must've missed something but I just didn;t see it.
The only reason I even used my CC was because I wanted to take advantage of that bogus Empire 100% up to $500 bonus that was flying around. So to get $500 in there quick I used my CC.

Hi new here,
I used my Visa Debit card with 7sultans Poker. I was also thinking of a seperate bank as well with a debit card.

I also used my Visa Debit card at Royal Vegas. I tried at Party a long time ago and it didn't work.

Hello all,
Just wanting clarification on this.
I am living in the UK and have today received a new bank card which is a Visa/Debit card to replace my Switch one - this is not a Credit Card.
Can I deposit and withdraw funds from Neteller directly to this Visa/Debit card?
Cheers
Mxx

I dont think you would have any problems, but you should check Visa's policy in the UK, I know in Canada I have no problems depositing on E-gaming sites, but Visa's new rules forbid cashouts to the card in pretty much every civilized country.
-edit- sorry, I should have been specific. You should have no problems depositing TO neteller, but I'm not sure about withdrawls FROM Neteller due to the new regs I mentioned above.
-hope this helps-
