i boought a $50 visa orepaid card today at my gas sation got home waited the hour nesscary to activate my card and it didn't go thought because internet gaming restriction i was told this would work by many of my friends i guess not anymore well that 50 bucks down the tube.

Surely you can use the $50 for anything else you might need.

No need to throw the card away.

This is going to sound like an obvious question but you didn't try to deposit for exactly $50 did you? those visas usually have some kind of fee so maybe try depositing for $45.

If it mentions 'internet gambling restriction' , you bought the wrong kind. You can always use it for gas.

Why?
Did you throw it away?

These cards haven't worked for the longest time...

rely thank i did try it for the full 50 i will try 45 bucks i will let u know if it works

i didnt throw it away but i wasnt planing on spend 50 bucks on anything else thats why its 50 bucks down the tubes

does micro bob repsonding to one of my thread make a true 2+2 user
have i made it in some way

i got no car i walked to the gas staition just for this and the card did say i could use it online pokerstars told me it was internet gaming restrictions

i just tried only putting 45 bucks and it still didnt work so cealry it just wont work

Live with your parents?

yes i do live with my parents why do u ask im 22 years old

Use the gift card to take your parents out to dinner.

hell no they would be mad that i even have the gift card when i tell them why i bought they cant find out they i got it or i might have to move out

Tell them you traded it from a friend for $40 cash.

Tell them that you bought it for emergencies.

Tell them that you bought it to save up for a night on the town.

Tell them that you won it in a raffle.

Tell them you were going to buy something online, but it ran out of stock.

dangeraw - so there's nothing else anywhere that you would buy?
Those gift-cards should be good at Starbucks...or the book-store...or even at a bar I think...or hanging out at the mall food-court with your friends. Whatever.

I can't believe that buying a $50 gift-card that doesn't work at the poker-site is really the same as throwing it down the tubes. What you were planning on doing with that $50 cash previously? Whatever it was you can just use the gift-card instead in most cases.
So if you can never use the gift-card then essentially you were never going to use the cash anyway so losing that cash must not matter at all.

So, you're saying that for the rest of your life you can never use it to spend $50.

I'll bet you could sell it fo $40 tommorow so long as you were prepared to accompany the purchaser to the place where they wanted to use it.

Suggesting someone lies to their parents?

That must be at least two commandments down the toobs.

For shame.

If you really are 22, when do you plan to grow up and become an adult?

This is the gambling talk that I had with my mother (I turn 23 in July)

Mom: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Playing poker."
Mom: "Ok."
Me: "You have any concerns with my massive gambling addiction?"
Mom: "I don't care what you do as long as you graduate in May (Software Engineering at RIT)"

My Mom is awesome.

I still say he should spend it on his parents as a thank-you for putting up with him all these years and making sure he's not dragged off by dingos or other predators who prey on the weak, infirm and feeble minded.

i wish my mom was that cool. but the main problem is my dad is afriad that the cops are going to arrest for palying poker on the internet. my mom afaird im going to get addicated since addctions does run in the famliy. but that is mostly with alchool i hate beer so thats no issue. to answer micro bob what was igoing to with the 50 bucks before problay go use it at a casino. so i guess i dont ease my mom's worries one bit she hates that i play with fake money has much as i do which is nothing compared how much u guys play for real. thats why my parenst can not find out about the gift card on another note pokerstars told that they know a card that will work for sure called all access thats no resctions i wll be picking one up tommmorow and if it dont work i want compsation from pokerstars since they told me it would work for sure.hopefuly i can buy it with the other gift card.

this descirbes how i flet for most the day perfectly
