Using Credit cards on gambling sites

jeeves_2

Hello all
Apologies if this has already been asked. Iv had a look and cant find the answer.
Does any one know which cc providers allow their credit cards to be used in gabling sites without a fee?
Thanks in advance

I think most now see gambling sites as cash advances so fees and interest will apply to most.

Barclaycard and Nationwide still don't charge.

Thanks, just rang and checked with Nationwide and they have confirmed they dont.
Is it true that the sites themselves dont charge commision for topping up the account by credit card?

Thanks in advance

Their staff were technically correct in saying that - but very remiss in not telling you that Nationwide will treat gambling transactions as cash advances from 17 Oct (got the notice of change with my statement this morning).

In addition, the cash advance fee will be increasing to 2.5% (minimum £3).

So, time to switch all my accounts over to my debit card.
