Egg Money has anyone ever been charged a 3% cash advance fee for gambling ?

Hi there

Just so you know, most card companies treat payments for gambling and payments on gambling websites as cash advances; this is standard practice. You will also be charged interest from the day of the purchase.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply KIKI
I believe egg money are a different animal and want to ask anyone if they have actually been charged by egg money

I have never gambled so have no experience, but Egg Money do work in the same way if you are using them as a credit card.

If you are in credit with them, I'm not sure what the practice is.

Egg money say they work in the same way and its in the terms and conditions that they charge 3% BUT I believe they have never updated the systems

Thats why I ask
has anyone ever been charged a 3% cash advance fee for gambling with Egg Money?

But surely systems were updated by all card companies to START charging the 3%? AFAIK they def charge the 3% if you're in negative balance, don't know for positive balance. At best it'll go through as a cash transaction, you'll be charged processing fees by the bookie and won't get any cashback - so best to use a debit card!
