That's it. They covered every loophole. The two main prepaid card brands, Visa and MasterCard, shut down their entire Wave Crest affiliation. No more Gibraltar cards for now.
Options left is WageCan. It's a Chinese card provider so they have their own rules but they still do strict KYC/AML checks. Now that MasterCard shut down their Gibraltar issuer, WageCan will make their card fee of $200+ even more non-negotiable as it is now so if you want it, be prepared to pay.

You guys seem to have missed this:
"All plastic and virtual cards will be reissued for free after we implement the card platform from our new provider which is about to happen soon."
Let's wait then, and see, I'll write to the support today about this and see what they reply (which provider? Estimate date?).
For now, we have time to withdraw and find a back up solution in case we need one.

In fact, I think all people saying it's "a disaster" have not understood that the failure point is most probably Wavescrest, as it happend before with Visa cards all around. I think they will shortly find a replacement processor. |

I think they will shortly find a replacement processor. instead, you are not considering that, if there was ONLY one issuer, a single point of failure in the entire world, probably there was a reason. Do you really believe that as of a sudden, another provider will be found, and no one in the entire world has been able to find one in the last months? Consider that visa cards gad been shut down for no-sepa in august. And nothing has been done since then. anyway if you like espress your vote in my poll: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2812087.0 thanks |

Is it possible to deposit with ETH, BCH, XMR, LTC, etc? Or is it just BTC?

payeer.com has been on the market for a while, looks like an interesting alternative. They deliver Mastercard / Visa, they even support ETH. I know a friend of mine who has a card with them and it works fine. Anyone else here?

I know a friend of mine who has a card with them and it works fine. Anyone else here? Payeer its only available for thoose who already have the card, new customers cant order. After a intensive search i found that right now the only card working is the mistertango mastercard card issued by WIRECARD! The only problem is that when you send bitcoin to them the convert the money instantly to fiat, and you pay a minimum fee of 0.0025btc! |

Just received my brand new shiny AdvCash card recently and then this.... I'm a bit disappointed as I tried withdrawing once and it worked like a charm.
MisterTango still works I can confirm that. Good thing they offer a free SEPA account with the card so you can sell BTC on an exchange and then send a sepa payment (free or 1EUR fee?) to your Mistertango card. Then you can avoid the hefty loading fee.

It was a suprise for everbody that visa and mastercard (!) suddenly canceled theyr contract with wavecrest. Its not a problem caused by the owners of advcash! They always made staight business. |

But, the BTC rate to EUR, on their BTC-exchange.com is very low... That's the issue with all services providing a mastercard and a wallet in bitcoin (or ethereum), they take a massive fee on all exchanges. Advcash was just the same with their Top Up service, not many in the market right now, that's the reason why. Tough times. Now there is the possibility to register at Exmo and send bitcoin to them directly, then convert to fiat and send to a mastercard, the problem is I don't know if we can trust Exmo, I have been reading so many negative comments about them (they won't even validate my legit documents anyway, no reason given, not the best start). |

EXMO always has the best BTC/fiat ratios, and while AdvCash card work it was the best option...now they have limited withdrawal options with significant fees. |
