Alternate Payment Methods
For U.S. citizens, the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act (H.R. 4411) has made it prohibitive to use certain payment instruments, such as credit cards, to fund transactions for online gaming. As a result, some banks have a policy to refuse payments for online gaming transactions using credit cards. This bill does not make online gaming illegal. If your credit card (VISA, MasterCard) is rejected when you try to deposit funds, it is recommended that you use one of the following alternate payment methods: ewalletXpress, ePassporte, Add Funds, Bank Wire, FedEx, Western Union and MyWebATM. ewalletXpress, ePassporte, Add Funds, Bank Wire, FedEx, Western Union and MyWebATM are fast, secure online alternative payment methods, and may reward you with extra bonuses. Opening an account at these sites is FREE. Most online gaming sites accept these alternative payment methods, and you can deposit and withdraw your funds easily and quickly. You have instant access to your funds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the world. Sign up and open your FREE account today!
