edited January 2010 in Poker Chat

In order to isolate my poker budget i have decided to get a pre-loaded debit card. I got a visa one from 02 and when it arrived it said in the information of use that i could not use it on any gambling site.

Can anyone please tell me if there is a deceent one out there that i can use on Sky poker that i can load up at a pay point preferably that puts your balance on the same day.

Thank you very much all

    the talksport card ive used it on here and other sites for the last 2 years plus if you have to go out to top it up it gives you time to sometimes calm down a bit after all the bad beats your gonna get haha.

    paypoints load the money quickest usually within half hour the card issuer charges 3% of load or minimum £1 or post office charges flat rate of 75p no matter how much you load but that usually takes a day for loads to clear. they are a good idea to keep your poker monies seperate hope this helps.

    Have ordered one now but thank you.
     
    It costs me a quid or so to load it which i can do 24 hours a day 365 days a year instead of in banking hours which was part of the reason for doing it. Even if i get cleaned out at 2 in the morning i can nip to the garage and be back playing within 30 mins. Also there are no monthly fees whatsoever.

    Fingers crossed its sorted. Thanks very much to everyone.

    Incidently, i got a 'bread' card. seemed the best value. It costs £7.50 and i can get extra cards for my lads or the missus for the same price.
