We should know more in the coming weeks. I am sure everyone will do what they can to continue the status quo while doing what they must to keep the gov off their back.

Dear Cora,
Our records show that you may have used your NetSpend Visa® Prepaid Debit Card for internet gambling transactions in the past.
Beginning May 31, 2010, MasterCard and Visa will begin complying with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act by blocking all online gambling transactions attempted by U.S. cardholders. This means you will not be able to use your NetSpend card or account for internet based gambling transactions. Internet gambling transactions will be automatically declined to comply with these federal regulations. NetSpend has no control over this change.
Don’t forget there are many great ways to use your NetSpend card. You can pay bills online or over the phone, shop online and make everyday purchases anywhere Visa debit cards or wherever Debit MasterCard is accepted. At NetSpend, we make sure that you are informed and in control of your money.
Thank you,
Your NetSpend Team

Quicktender lowered the min deposit to $47.50, so you can use the $50 pre-paid(s)
