My Credit Cards Won't Approve Deposit

I've tried 5 credit cards and two debit cards---and all of them were declined when I tried to make a deposit to Poker Stars and to Party Poker. I've seen that there are sites that charge a fee to get around the problem, but I'm trying to take advantage of the deposit bonuses not pay a fee just to play. Is there some method to make credit card deposits to these poker sites that I don't know about? Anyone's help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Neteller is the best way to deposit and tranfer money around online. its easy and free to use, try it out, just go to neteller.com, there are other ways(such as firepay), but i hear neteller is the best

You can use your debit card to deposit to an alternate provider; neteller or firepay etc. then deposit to your poker site. Most CC wont let you deposit directly to gambling sites. Hope that helps.

On pokerstars you can western union the money and its got to be at least a 50 buck deposit. This is what i use and if you deposit under 100 its there is a 15 dollar fee from western union.

Hey man, Whatever you do do not use firepay or Neteller. Not good programs. I would suggest western union or something of that sort. They are offshore and not good if there is a dispute.

are you bust LOL!! Credit cards decline for 4 main reasons:

1. The address you specified on the billing information held by the company you are paying the money to does not register with the details of which the card is registered to.

2. You are incorrectly Typing in your Credit card details. Expiry date, security number, name Exactly on the card. OR maybe you dont know that you have to put the 16 digit number in. You would be suprised how many people dont know how to do this. I work with a company who sells stuff over the ohone and we regularly take ppls credit card details, its amazing i would say about 80% of people dont know how to use their credit card. When i ask them for the name stated exactly on the card they say "my name" or "Joe Bloggs" when it is actually written "Mr Joe M Bloggs" or they say "Halifax" or "Royal Bank of Scotland" or when i ask for their credit card number they give me their sort code. etc...

3. you dont have the funds in your account to transfer the requested amount of funds.

4. Certain Banks do not allow you to make payments to gambling institutions online, it is againt their policy, one way to get around this is as the other people said previously register with neteller or firepay and deposit that way.
