    Are there any Poker sites that can actually take credit cards?

    Party Poker won't take mine...I tried 3 different VISAs...but I can pay a $5 fee to epassporte and transfer the money that way. Kinda sucks.

    I really wish I could use my Paypal money...but I know that's no dice.

          Its not the poker site, its your issuing bank.

          Most banks have policies against using credit cards for gambling sites. (I'm guessing people with gambling problems don't have great track records when it comes to paying their bills)

          That's why the gaming industry created netteller....similar to epassporte where you can fund your netteller account and then use that money on a gambling site.

          I use a check card at party poker and poker stars and haven't had a problem, but they won't take my "credit" cards.
          sig too big

                  I tried two bank cards too. They all said issuing bank wouldn't allow it. Ah well. Keeps me from gambling the house away, I guess.

                      I use the phone card option they have. Click that and it sends you to a prepal calling card site from the UK. buy a $50, or $100 phone card with your credit card. then after purchased click where it says to go on from here, and that takes you back to partypoker cashier, enter the $ amount and that's it. I know it sounds hard but it's not. As long as you go thur party poker cashier, they will walk you thur it.
                      Trump haters gonna hate. that's all they can do
