hello.

i was sure i knew the answer to this, now im not sure as i cant find it on the Egg T&C.

1. currently Egg Money doesn't incur charges for "Gambling" transactions but from the 1st september it will, is this right?

2. can you withdraw "in credit" cash from the hole in the wall without incuring "cash transaction fees"?

thank you.

    Is there a list of sites that egg consider as gambling sites ? To mention it in their terms and conditions and not name names may lead to speculation !

    which obviously now makes me have to ask...what about in credit gambling transactions?

    thanks for your help.

    If your Egg Money Card is in credit you can withdraw up to £500 per day from atm's with no charge. As long as it remains in credit.

    My reading of those T&C's is that they don't differentiate between in credit and in debt when it comes to applying fees on gambling transactions. They'll charge the fee either way.
