WHAT TO DO IF ONLINE CASINOS REJECT YOUR CREDIT CARDS
In recent months the Major Credit Companies have begun to restrict online gambling transactions due to fraudulent activities by card holders (not casinos, it is the players who are the problem). As a result, a lot of casinos now decline your credit card deposits depending on your credit card provider.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
1. Play at Casinos that won't decline my credit card, no matter what!
2. Sign up for free with a new kind of online purchase company
1. Casinos that always accept your credit card
Here are some links to Casinos that have no problems with credit cards, so you can keep using your credit cards to your heart's content!
2. New Payment methods
The most popular methods for both players and casinos are Firepay and NETeller. Please note that after registering for either a Firepay or Neteller account you must go through a verification process, which can take up to 4 days. If you don't want to wait that long to gamble, you can try the casinos that have no credit card problems while you are waiting to be approved. As soon as you have your approval you can start gambling at whatever casino you want without fear of your payment being turned down!
Here is a little bit about both NETeller and Firepay:
NETeller

How do I register my bank account? How long does it take?
Funding directly from your bank account is a 2-step process. Why?
In order to allow you to fund directly from your bank account, we
need you to register your account. To make sure that it is truly
your account, we'll make what we call a validation deposit into
your account. You let us know what the amount is (normally this
takes a few business days), and you're ready to start funding.
But, please be patient. Do not fund until you have confirmed our
validation deposit amount.
Register your bank account and benefit from:
100% accepted transactions
Real-time access to funds
An additional payment option
Faster withdrawals directly to your bank account

page will be displayed. Follow the onscreen instructions to fund
your account directly from your bank account.
