Just a warning, my bank debit card company finally wisened up

eoghater · Oct 10, 2009

I used to be able to flawlessly use bookmaker's and quicktender's deposit options via debit card, but they are finally being blocked by my bank's fraud department. I called to make sure no restrictions were put on my card, and they weren't. Also, they wouldn't authorize the transaction when I asked them to because they recognized it as gambling activity. Is anyone experiencing some difficulty recently or am I the only one?

If you want to know the name of the bank, pm me because I know this is sensitive information on a public message board. I'd also appreciate if you guys can give me some banks that are a bit more lenient with the debit card transactions (within the private message please). Thanks.

If it doesnt work online many times you can call them and they can do it by phone...

is it an automated service? I wouldn't feel comfortable giving my cc number to a representative.

Why do they get blocked by the fraud department? Have online casinos been known to use the customer's credit cards for fraudulent activities?

I guess my bank's department characterizes gambling as a fraudulent activity. That, and they probably didn't like the random deposit names that my statements had. I deposited twice in 7 days so it wasn't like i was overloading my bank's server with transactions.
