Virtual Debit cards actually

I'm not sure this is the right place for this post. Im currently Matched Betting and as the gvt won't allow credit cards anymore AND my prepaid card being recognised as a credit card I'm looking for a virtual Debit card to use for the short term

  • Why does it have to be a virtual debit card?
    Surely any card  linked to a bank account will do?
  • Agree with above there is no such thing as a virtual debit card and but there are plenty of real debit cards you can use instead

    There used to be prepaid card accounts with cards that were recognised as debit cards rather than credit cards with their higher fees for the merchants (and often for the user for air ticket purchase etc), but as far as I know none now exist.

    As mentioned, you very probably need to use a 'real' debit card issued by a bank.
