Racing2day Frequently Asked Questions

General

Q/ Credit Card Deposit Issues

Some Racing2day customers may have been recently affected by trying to legally deposit funds using their credit card into their existing Racing2day wagering account, only to be informed that the deposit request has been declined.  These transactions are being restricted or blocked by US Financial Institutions and are not intitated by any Racing2day staff or management.

This is an industry wide issue which is affecting all legal and regulated online ADW's in the horseracing wagering industry.  Racing2day and other industry stakeholders and regulators are working with the common goal to resolve this problem for the player and horseracing industry as a whole.

In the interim, in order to continue to enjoy the great wagering service offered by Racing2day, we wish to suggest and recommend using Bank Wire or Personal Check (Details) below to fund your wagering account. Note please do not send cash.

We continue to strive to serve your needs and we thank you for your continued support and patience during this period.
