Use 3v voucher to bet online?

Sandals · 26-10-2005 05:06PM #1

Is this possible anywhere,
I have one topped up with 70 euro yet it wont work so far on Coral or gamebookers, is there something up with my card, or does it just not work on certain gambling sites?
are there any gambling sites where it does work?

Well I've never used one before but part of the pitch of 3v is that it is just like a regular credit card so you should be able to deposit on all sites. Try paddypower.com

but why wont it work on those other two nor sportingodds.com?

As long as the websites accept Visa there should be no problem.

it also wont work on bet365, its driving me nuts.

has anyone ever used a 3v card on a betting site?

On Paddy Power.com it
does not recognise crad type
and also what shoul d ienter for start date i put in 10/05 as i got it today!
(edit i just rang paddy power customer support and was told they dont accept them, although the girl didnt seem to know what she was talking about)
so are these totally useless or is there somewhere that
I can use my 70 euro?

This is a reply I got from sportingodds;

I've had the exact same trouble. 3v are advertising that you can use their cards exactly like a VISA card. Clearly the online sites can tell the difference, and can choose to accept normal VISA cards but not this one.

Is this misleading advertising or what?

I tried using it with partypoker and it wouldn't work, i rang 3v and they told me they don't do gambling sites, so what i had to do was sign up for something like paypal then transfer the money to my partypoker account :rolleyes:

well they 3v cards are abvailable to everyone over 16, and seeing it's illegal to bet/gamble till you are 18 they are bound to have to have some restrictions on it's use. i'd say it's the same with the p0rn sites 2.

Spot on. Most gambling sites will not accept virtual cards that are available to underage players. I have been told they (3v) are advertising that anyone who takes Visa will accept them but most wont unfortunately.

It won't work for gambling AFAIK because as people said 16 year olds can use them.

Can't paddy power send out cheques? Used to be an option anyway.
