Not many online casinos seem to be keeping their players in the loop in regards to payment processing and I think that should be changed. I know that there are several hoops that online casinos really need to jump though in order to keep their credit card payment processing in check but I think that it would definitely be worth it for them to give players a warning indicating that the transaction may not go though thus giving the player the ability to brace themselves for the idea that it may not actually go though. This way players can know whether they should go and try playing at another online casino or alternatively look at using an alternative banking account like EcoCard or other if they have an account with such an alternative banking option or otherwise go and create an account with one of these alternate banking options.

No one currently does this and I'm not sure if it's without reason that they do it but it should be done in order to make things a little more smooth for us players. I'd like to know for example that if I'm going to download and install an online casino whether there are going to be issues in my ability to make a deposit with said online casino before I bother with downloading and installing their online casino software on my computer. This would otherwise be a real waste of my time and has been on a few occasions now.

All the best everyone...

I suppose they don't want to make it obvious to players that there could be issue.

As soon as people start thinking that there might be an issue or they may not be able to deposit funds regardless of what they may be they start thinking about how things are going to be when they attempt to withdrawal funds from their online casino accounts.

I don't think that it would necessarily beneficial to the online casinos but rather it may be more problematic then it's worth.

Yes I too agree that casinos revealing too much to players especially when it involves the financial element which the US is trying to cripple right now though the regulation of the UIGEA is probably not the best move from them. They need to remain a bit incognito in this respect especially in the future and with respect to the processing of Visa and Mastercard transactions.

I for one think that we as players should be respectful of the fact that things aren't easy these days and when we do find an online casino that's able to take our deposits using our credit cards we should stick to playing with those casinos if possible for as long as possible. Eventually all casinos get burned in regards to their credit card accounts getting closed, etc...

I suppose that you're all right as the reasons you've mentioned make sense as to why online casinos don't really want to reveal too much when things aren't working too well for them with regards to accepting payments or more importantly as it was mentioned paying players out. I know that if I heard that an online casino was having trouble paying players out because of issues in getting the funds back to players that I'd be kind of reluctant as to how much I'd be willing to put forth with them in the first place in terms of my depositing with them.

Agreed they have their reasons for this and better not to question them as they have only the interest of getting our money in mind. Thus they're going to do everything possible and that they can to ensure that they can take our deposits.

Good Post
Something is going on for the USA players. I no longer can use Master Card and Visa is now charging international fees what next ?

I guess that we'll really just have to wait and see. You're probably having problems cause you're trying to play at new casinos that you've never played at before. If you're a long time depositor at online casinos you shouldn't have any problems really.

I really wish that things were as easy as they were in the good old days where credit card and depositing at online casinos was very easy and without problem or even when using Paypal to make deposits at online casinos was easy and without issue. Oh well it's a real shame that things have gone in the direction they have with regards to online casinos not being able to process transactions for players who want to play. It's so stupid and I'm really pissed off at my Government and let down quite honestly once again!

It's a real piss off that they're making things more difficult for us US players to play at online casinos and gamble online in general. The fact is that if someone wants to play online and they're not able to use their credit cards that they'll find another option.

In response to this thread though I do agree that it's likely that the online casinos don't want to reveal this kind of information as it probably exposes them somehow.

Things definitely aren't easy to say the least these days for online casinos that are accepting wagers from American players. Most banks are rejecting the transactions attempted on credit cards and now visa and master card are doing it on a higher level even so it's a real pain. Hopefully something will change relatively soon for us though!
