I need your EXPERIENCED guys!!! MC/VISA card

[Underdog7]

First of all I would like to mention that Olympic is no longer accepting Mastercard after Nov. 23 for reason of MC is not paying charges to merchants who are involved with Internet Gambling. On the other hand, I noticed that WSEX is still taking MC with a note stating that "before you used your card, check with your bank if e-commerce is taking the charge as PURCHASE or ADVANCE PAYMENT".

Few things I wanted to know basing it from your experienced in dealing with these two shops.

Which is better of the two using card as deposit. Olympic or WSEX? If so, why? Does Olympic or WSEXtaking it as PURCHASE or CASH ADVANCE? Or it's all you to your bank.

Excuse my ignorance here, but few of the times I used cards for transactions and I need some clarifications here. Obviously, I am thinking of just dealing with these two shops mentioned. If there is any suggestions it is very much welcome. Thanks in advance.

udog,

the charges that might appear all depend on your particular card, although the choice of processing company used by the book affects whether the card recognizes it as an offshore gambling charge. All of my cards at olympic now have a fee, while they did not several months ago. These same cards do not have a fee for perplexa type books yet.

Wsex is better, imho, because they say they will put all money due to you back on the card first, but my experience is they are flexible, moreso than any other book. OLY will surely make you put any deposit back on the card before sending you cash money.

Last note: fee is less likely, though likely, at wsex, and wsex more flexible with cc charges.

Chilly - What really confuses me is the fact that the charge WILL BE CONSIDERED AS A "PURCHASE" OR "CASH ADVANCE". Purchase of course is better to avoid interest within 30 days. But from your experienced with these two shops mentioned, which has the PURCHASE?
Or do I have to call my bank to know that? Thanks for responding though.

And by the way, what is the MAX you could send in a month's time using CC? Thanks.

UDOG, most sportsbooks have their own policy about the maximum that can be sent using a credit card, in a given time such as per month.

I think Olympic has a limit of 3,000. Not sure if it's per card or total.

Hope this helps.

May all your bets be winners
