This thread is now locked, and I deleted the last post, because I am not going to allow people to use Lottery Post to unfairly bash an excellent company like PTS. Somebody had made a good comment in one of these threads about how they are not a huge company like GM or Ford -- they are a small company providing a great service, and they do so without scamming people or ripping them off, unlike so many other outfits out there.They have said repeatedly that they are seeking more payment methods in...

It seems I was lucky to succeed earlier. Since then, nothing has worked as I tried some more times. I hope pts to solve any problem as soon as possible, no matter what it is.

It seems to me that M/C works, but not visa.

Lottery Post members: has anyone aside from Todd been able to successfully place an order w/ PTS? Chewie, while I share your frustration, it does appear that PTS is trying to remedy the situation. What you've mentioned is true, though. Not just for the past 2 weeks, but rather for the last 2-3 mos. they have been having these credit card decline issues. The difference is, when it would happen in the past few mos. I would go back a few mins later and the card would work. Not so, the last two... [ More ]

My credit card is no where close to the problem, it is a problem PTS created and is not working fast enough to resolve. The problem has been going on for months. That is validated by the continiuous comments about declined credit cards. Why should the customer be required to keep joining multiple credit card companies to use PTS? Because PTS has problems, not the consumer. Because it is gambling? Nice try! They choose the way the billing is accompilshed, not the customer. They should be i... [ More ]

To their credit they already told me in an email that they are looking for alternative billing such as through firepay, neteller or some other 3rd party. I doubt it will be in time for this drawing but they should be fine for the next big pot.

I'm afraid I am still getting declined as well. I'm trying all of my credit/debit cards and none of them worked. I also called all of my banks earlier in the week to ask if they had restrictions on PTS or any services like it and they said there were not such restrictions in place on any of my cards. So, I'm afraid this problem seems to be coming from PTS still not from their potential customers. Kind of frustrating when you're sitting here saying HERE, TAKE MY MONEY! and they can't seem t...

Who issued the card you used Todd, I had the same problem where the card company BOA stated no attempt was made to even charge the card which would be different then them declining it.

The best I can say is try a different credit card. The fact is that these days anything related to gambling has very touchy credit card fraud prevention, so that's just a fact of life. The credit card I successfully used didn't work a month ago with their service, so that should give you an indication that these things change.Chewie, your comment implies that somehow they don't want you to win, which is just preposterous. They run a great service, and lots of people were affected by their rec... [ More ]

I just tried a few minutes ago. I'm still getting declined too. Once again, my bank says that there is no record of my card getting declined. The last time I was able to successfully place an order was Dec. 30th.

I am still having problems getting them to accept my order. The card keeps getting declined. Didn't have a problem when I had a winning balance. Now it hasn't worked for weeks. Just declined ten minutes ago. They blaim it on VISA, I think it is their credit card processer company.

I successfully placed an order today -- issue fixed.

Yep I got the same reply. The numbers I would've played on euromillions better not hit tonight...

Yes, I got the same message -- things should be back to normal with the next day. Excellent

This morning, I received a reply from Prime Ticket Service. They said that their credit card processor has located the problem and is working on a solution. They said it should be fixed in 24 hours. Perhaps just a enough time to make Powerball/NY/UK for those interested.

Try another card. That is the only thing that worked for me. Cheers

OK just tried again and my attempt failed. Might try one more time in the morning. Good Luck to those who get through. Fraser

I can't even figure out what you're saying. You're going on about something, but lord knows if I can figure it out. I don't think PTS e-mails people asking them to buy tickets, so I think you probably are confused.

I have had two people tell me that their bank is now declining transactions with any type of gambling.

acronym007 — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 03:42:45 GMT

I had the same problem. The only thing that worked for me was a different credit card. This problem happens every so often with PTS I don't know why but I have mentioned this before. Hopefully they can find a more stable long term fix.

I'm having the same problem as well. All through December, I had no issues. This week, my card keeps getting declined even though it shouldn't be. I called my bank and there is no record of any transactions getting declined. I too reported the problem to PTS -- yesterday.

Hi Todd and CB. I just tried to purchase tickets and the transaction FAILED. I have purchased from PTS before so they must have a problem. I will try later tonight and let you know what happens. We should learn from Todd and try early and often. LOL Regards, Fraser

I had some problems myself, and I was told that they are working on it. They say many orders go through fine, but more than usual are being declined. I got my Euro Millions tickets last Friday night though, so I didn't have any problems at that point. Hopefully they clear up whatever problem it is soon.

Prime Ticket Service in January?

CalifBoy — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 21:50:25 GMT

Is anyone else experiencing trouble completing orders with Prime Ticket Service? Thanks to Lottery Post, I've been using P.T.S. for a few months now and am very impressed with their service and their relatively low prices, not to mention the $100 + I've made from winning tickets through PTS. But, for an entire week now I have been unable to purchase tickets on PTS. I've tried EuroMillions, PowerBall, NY Lotto UK Lotto. My credit cards always get declined. These are two visas and one debit... [ More ]
