Poker : Giftcards.com Shut Down their Business with Online Gamblers

Giftcards.com closed the Virtual Visa Gift Card option to online gamblers. Just a few days after it came back as a paying option, an addition to the giftcards.com FAQ affirmed that the card could not be used for online gambling.

Byran Micon, a spokesperson for pokerdeposits.com and neverwinpoker.com, said “They very abruptly shut it down. I know they wanted to get into this market, it had a very large potential. But it's done now. It's all done." He was promoting the Virtual Visa option at pokerdeposits.com as the best depositing method on the Internet. Unlike e-wallets like epassporte.com, the Virtual Visa option allowed gamblers to deposits funds in a matter of hours, not days. Micon mentioned he did’t know who ordered giftcards.com to stop the transactions to all online gambling casinos.

Casino City announced that the Virtual Visa Gift Card was a viable option for online gamblers, but after a few days disappeared for more than a month. And it seems a spokesperson at giftcards.com told Casino City that the company was "restoring their fraud system."

After spending a month in indeterminate state, the Virtual Visa became available again this week, but has since stopped working. Attempts to contact giftcards.com went unanswered. Micon proposes using epassporte.com, Netspend.com, or paytrue.com for online gambling transactions.
