I was making up a list to post here but dear Rainbow1 already posted this on PC (Poker Crush) so I thought I would share with you all here.
Thanks Rainbow1 for the hard work! I already spent 6 hours trying to get this together and you saved me a lot of extra work.

I love color coding! Use it all the time myself in personal records.

One color coded page is worth a thousand pictures, as far as I am concerned!

I have been trying to sign up to ECO card. I finally activated my account but now have a question. On the bak account adding page what is a Swift Code? Is that the bank routing number? thanks all

Thanks Geno great idea!

valeria- call your bank and ask them for the IBAN / SWIFT code info --
i had to do the same thing a while back ... this info is not easily available ... couldn't even find it on my banks website

Hi, I just bought a pre paid visa card to make a deposit at Everygame, which they suggested I do, said it would be accepted. I am in the USA in NYS one of the banned states. When I tried to depost it was denied. after several tries, I read the back of the package ( which I should have done before I bought it ) and it said can not be used for gambling. Support told me that I should get a plasticwired visa card. I went to my local stores that sell pre paid cards, but they all look the same. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for as far as the plasticwired card goes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, nikkidog

Sorry I ment wiredplastic

I use a Netspend visa card for my deposits to Everygame. You can go to netspend.com and sign up. They will send you a card. It is a reloadable visa. I load mine right at the local grocery store for $4.50 fee through western union. Some places in NY also sell reload packs for the netspend card. They are a very good option. There are no fees except what you pay at the store to load it. The highest fee I have encountered is $4.95 so far. The fee verys depending on the store. I use the Haniford supermarkets and Price Chopper. I am also a NY'er and know how hard it is for depositing. Let me know if this helps. Also netspend will give free money still I think. It was $5 for every referal and the new user got $5 also. It may be over though not sure. Check it out.

Good luck

Thanks for your reply. I will check it out. We don't have Price Chopper here, but do have a Super Walmart, Wegams, Tops and P&C. Thanks again.

Thank You for the very useful information, everyone! luvslots

on the netspend website you can search reload locations. Just punch in your zip code or city and state and they will give you a list of where you can go.

How do you tell the difference between a wiredplastic card and the regular pre paid car.

The car has wheels?

P.S. to my post just above:

I', sorry! I really don't want to be a smart-azz. But the Devil just wouldn't let me resist!

Sweetie, I have no idea, but I'm hoping someone will answer because I want to know too!

Hugs!
