Online gambling at your favorite online casino. One hundred dollars. Winning it big in online blackjack. Five hundred dollars. Trying to add more money to your online payment processor to gamble more. Two hundred dollars. Having Master Card come after you and your money because of the freaking online gambling ban in the United States. Priceless.
We all know the commercial. Some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s Master Card. Apparently if you want to get your account seized, they can take care of that too.
This just in: Master Card has begun to seize money on its way to online casino sites through their credit cards. Once this money is taken, the online casino no longer has access to it and it is unclear when the money will be released to the player or casino. Well, don’t that just suck?
Online casino sites must now scramble again to locate alternative payment processors who can handle transactions made with Master Card which don’t set off alarm bells, red flags, and other things that would cause someone to be royally screwed. Otherwise, it’s just not fair to the players who simply want to gamble and may have their money taken away.
Good to know that the important dangers to society are being focused on rather than, you know, rape, murder, homelessness, and the United States not winning the gold medal in ice hockey. Online gambling and the associated casino games have ruined for too many lives and caused too much fun. Thank you, Master Card, for looking out for us!
