When can I deposit with Mastercard?

I can't use my Mastercard to deposit. Is this a permanent depositing problem with casinos?

[scuter]

I'm having problems with my Mastercard at some RTGs but it works fine on other casinos like Microgaming and Playtech. The RTGs have charged my card with "pre-authorised" amounts, then claimed that my bank was doing that and that they couldn't do anything. I checked with my bank and it's complete nonsense - of course. Might be worth keeping an eye out for that little trick...

I'm just informed that One Club Casino continues to accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express!

 

They are also accepting US players!

That's funny. After 5 weeks of not removing my "pre-authorised" charge [apparently MasterCard rejected it, and they told me I had to contact my bank to remove it], I have just ordered my bank to remove it forcibly after they responded with this:

 

When a merchant comes up with "Your Account Has been Pre-Authorised", it means that the transaction has been authorised (approved) to

be actually charged to your account at a later date.

 

Of course - as well all know - the definition for "pre-authorised" is:

 

What is a pre-authorisation?

A pre-authorisation is when a merchant reserves funds on your card to ensure payment of services. Often, this is done by restaurants, hotels and car rental outlets. For example, a restaurant may pre-authorise a set amount when you open a tab at the bar. If your final bill is less than the pre-authorised amount, then they will refund the difference to your account. However, they may not always do this straight away. The refund may take place up to several days later.

 

Why is my account balance sometimes different from the money that should be available on the card?

If a merchant has carried out a pre-authorisation (see above), and reserved more funds from your card than you actually spent, your account balance may appear lower than it should for a few days until they refund the money they owe you.

 

This is OneClub's email:

 

DEPOSIT PRE-AUTHORIZATION

Your deposit has been identified as PRE-AUTHORIZED from the casino One Club Casino for an amount of 300.00 USD.

 

This amount has not been debited from your card or posted to your account because your issuing bank or credit card provider will not approve the transaction. The reason being they are not a part of the pre-authorized scheme. Should you wish to continue with your deposit you are eligible to use our own SBN Credit option which offers for a limited time a 300% bonus, please contact our duty support angel via Live Chat to finalize your transaction.

 

My bank was not impressed. I don't know what the procedure here is - my manager will handle it - but I'm certain it will not be all peaches and cream for merchants who do this.
