Prowan52, Of course they say if you ask them no gambling transactions. We all know the cards have worked since May. The casinos use processors which make the transactions not go directly to casinos, but if someone says gambling to them, the transactions will definately be declined. Dont say "gambling" to any sort of bank or to netspend.

Thanks Prowan, but I have been using my Netspend right along.
But an update, it worked yesterday. So It was probably just a problem with their system. Also, I tried my card later that day at Villento and it worked.
But again, thanks.....

I cant use my NetSpend card at iNetBet right now either. But it is working at Intertops. iNet upgraded a week or so ago and since then my card hasnt worked. But it worked up to that point. I emailed them and was told they hope to have the processor up again soon. We will see.
