Pre-Paid Debit Cards

Ok, first... I'm a "Noob" so if this has been discussed, please be patient with me.

Question:

Has anyone tried to fund accounts (Bodog, etc.) by purchasing a "Prepaid" m/c or visa which basically ends up being a "debit card"?

If so, how has your experience been?

If not... why?

Thanks,

I've had plenty of success with these. First of all, you have to get one that says you can make purchases online with them, by registering you info. They have to have a website where you can register your name and address. When you deposit, the sites use your address you have with them so they have to match. You also have to make sure the card doesn't specifically say they cant be used for gambling. I think the green dot cards work well. Also Agift visa cards (gift card mall) have worked for me. Secondly, some sites are better than others at getting them approved. Bodog is the best in my opinion. I've had cards rejected at most other sites but approved at bodog. Fulltilt is usually good too, but they have a 30$ min after first dep. I usually have $25 cards. Hope this helps.

Prepaid debit cards are pretty easy to use, and are quickly supplied into your 'cashier' or available money on poker sites especially bodog, or pokerstars. Just make sure the prepaid debit card you purchase is a 'all access' card otherwise you may be buying a card that is restricted for sites such as poker relation.
