Just tried to deposit on BOL for the 200% reload bonus, and my BOA Visa debit card was rejected
. Don't know whether this is an issue related to Chico/BOL's recent problems or something new with my bank. I searched the 2+2 forums to see if there was any discussion about this, but didn't get any hits
I've used this card for at least 6 years on multiple online poker sites without no problem, and deposited successfully on BOL about three weeks ago. Recently used it to purchase other things and have checked my account online, so I know there's no problem with the card itself or the balance. Somewhere around 2009-2012 you couldn't deposit with Visa on most online betting sites, but as I said I've not had any problems for a long time.
I'm wondering if BOA is starting to crack down on some things which they previously allowed. Recently they did something I thought was a little strange. I logged into my account, and it said I needed to re-verify all of my personal information. It showed my info which was all correct, but they added a new question asking whether you have duel citizenship with any other country. It was a required answer. I 'assume' BOA is asking this from all their customers, since there should be absolutely no reason to target me personally. I was born, raised, and have spent virtually 100% of my life in the US, except for a couple of vacation trips to Mexico, and taking several cruises that visited various Caribbean ports.
I'm going to call BOL customer service and see what they have to say. I see they have a new "Voucher" program, where you buy a voucher from them and then they redeem it. Maybe that will work, if my Visa won't. I'll report back what I find out.
