Simple Question on Credit Card Deposits to sportsbooks

[trytrytry]

if a book takes a credit card to deposit (im looking at 222.ibetX.com) is that a cash advance or a purchase? Seems very expensive way to send funds if its a cash advance as the sportsbook will not cover that big fee.

Second question. If you win and you want to collect funds via credit card. How does that work. IF you win a bunch and they send to your credit card does it just make you a positive balance on your credit card until you spend that much? Will the credit card send you a check for a large positive balance? Id hate to pay all the fees of a cash transfer in collecting from my credit card in an ATM or whatever (2.5% or so?).

It depends on if the processing is coded or not. if its coded meaning they show its gambling related charge then it can either be declined depending on your bank and or accepted with or without a cash advance fee. its up to the cc company.

know this if it goes through as a cash advance it CANNOT be charged back in the event you are a scammer or a dispute arises.

most books only credit back what you deposited. ant more than that and u send up flags. u already are by crediting back the card but more so by crediting back more than u purchased.

My experience has been that once your take ANY withdrawal out on a debit\credit card, that card seems to be blacklisted almost instantly.

...and yes, assuming that you do not pay the CC bill in full, it usually is a cash advance, and is very expensive.

depending on the amount and the frequency of depsoits i know some books pay the cash advance fees for you.

Normally books will cash back the deposited amount to credit card.The rest of winning amount will be sent by cheque.

tttinco if the book stays with one processor the whole time and never changes the coding or company on the transactions then yes eventually all cc's will not go through but if they stay on top of things always changing names of codes and working with different companies then they will stay ahead of the game.

Thanks for the info Jay....I'll have to look into that. I would LOVE to ditch Neteller & their fees and go back to my beloved Visa debit card.

I use a cc for my account with linesmaker, and it goes through as a purchase. SoI think it just depends on the book......GL

i tried just to see and my credit cards were not even accepted by ibetx.com. They were turned down for some reason. My company must flag gambling sites and not allow to send cash. Can they do that? Its my money?

yes it it your money- but using their electronic transfer system takes the cake- no go my friend

Legally by VISA MASTERCARD agreement that have to credit back card the original amount. Go to the mall and buy something with a cc and then try and return that item and get cash. They won't do it.
