anyone have a clue about this site or used it?

i got the link from a propoker email, but they are NOT a propoker owned site.

does anyone know if other poker sites take this?

any and all info (and digging) would be appreciated

A PrePaidATM Merchant Account is the ONLY payment processing system geared for you, the online Merchant. By accepting payments via PrePaidATM, you eliminate FRAUD, CHARGEBACKS, RESERVES, AND UP-FRONT FEES. Merchants worldwide are welcome and can begin accepting payments via the PrePaidATM Card within 5 minutes

Can't find out who they are yet, but the question is WHY does nowhere else take this?

We take it through our Sportsbook (www.betCRIS.com) where you can then transfer directly to your cardroom account.

We are also in the process of linking directly through our cardroom cashier a new method that will once again allow the use of PAYPAL. We should have it up and running within about 2 weeks and I will let everyone know more about it then.

Kind regards,

Pokerroom.com takes this deposit method, but I haven't used it yet (though I've been tempted to try it).

huh?? WITH approval and knowledge of paypal? i use paypal alot, and if this is a backdoor method, it would scare the snot outta me.

i use them everyday still, and they are SOOOOO known for seizing accounts for misuse and investigation. i would LOVE to hear that this is a legit loophole you have found, so please keep us posted.

we need some fish back.

on first glance, it looked fee-free, and instant.

I've been tempted Granny, but I believe (and do not quote me on this but I'm pretty sure I remember it) that they require your social security number when applying for the card. Call me paranoid, but I'm not really comfortable giving it out (and I got in with Neteller before they required it). I just don't like giving this information out to businesses I don't know too well. What do you think of this?

Also...Neteller has an ATM card now, but there are some fees. They take 2% of what amt. you designate to put on the ATM card from your Neteller account (so $20 for transferring $1000). I mean, the fee is annoying but since I already have a balance there I am considering getting one.

What is the advantage of getting a Neteller ATM card if you already have Neteller? Or you want to use it at other online merchants other than gambling?
