entropay different funding sources?
 

Hello all forum members! hope you can help me.
so i need a lot of vcc (about 20). as far as i understand it's possible to create up to 30 vcc from one account.
but the thing is - i'm planning fund entropay with prepaid giftcards.i have only 25$ cards. so it is not enough for all vcc's. i already have registered with my real name, sent id, utility bills etc. but i need to get rid of those giftcards.
can i add those prepaid cards as a funding sources? i will need to send photo of each card to them? or if i have registered i can add more funding sources without a hassle?
thanks in advance!

Such a plan with entropay will not work.

entropay are being much stricter with the number of vcc that can be generated.

You can certainly expect entropay to ask for photo ID or in fact suspension of your account.

I would suggest you look to have more than one source of vcc :juggle:

Entropay will suspend your account if you will add more than 3 different funding source in 1 week, and will do the same if you will create many VCC in short period too

This is true as I have experienced it

You can still manage the accounts if you wait a while after the suspension, lol. For example, if I create 10 vccs in one go, I will definitely be suspended, but if I leave the account and log back in some time after that (like a week), I can still use the cards, create new cards (by using the "new card" option under the dropbox after clicking the "transfer" option from an existing card) and transfer funds between cards. The only limitation is that you will not be able to add funds using your external funding source any more. But if you loaded enough funds onto a "master" card to last you before the suspension, this is of course not an issue.

Elijah, how quickly do they axe the account after the 10 cards are created? Is it on the 10th card or some time shortly after?

Good tip, btw. :)

Should re-phrase that, do you get axed whilst making the cards or does it happen shortly after?

If I remember correctly, the limitation is triggered automatically once you go over a certain number. The example was 10 but I personally got limited after creating about 7 cards. I made the new card, transferred funds from my debit card to it and got limited right after that. But if you were to load say £55 onto your "master" card in anticipation of a limitation and then get limited after going over "auto-limitation limitation" number of cards, you could still go on and create as many cards as you like (max of 50 more cards in this example of £55, explained in the next paragraph...) after a week or so of limitation.

You just have to watch out for the 10p charge that applies each time that you create a new card with that "transfer" option (since you can't create a card the "proper" way any more)... after 50 cards, you would have been charged £5 in fees. So if you intend to do 50 cards after limitation, be sure to have at least £55 before your limitation.
