Visual / prepaid credit card, cannot play lottery abroad?

[bubblegum]

Was feeling lucky so I wanted to play in the New York lottery but both my banks decline the payment? I can order food abroad no problem??

Are your banks Thai? Assuming they are they would possibly not fund illegal transactions (gambling, even online is illegal here).

Lottery is legal in Thailand, maybe they don't like foreign competition.

Have you tried buying tickets with your credit card?

Visual/prepaid credit card, dont have the real thing

Does NY lottery allow players outside the US to play? It's quite possible that it was lotto who decided not to accept your payment.

 

In reality I doubt we will ever know.

 

EDIT From the NY lotto website Terms and Conditions

The Thai National Lottery is legal, but can you tell what other Thai lotteries are legal?   

 

Yes, plenty of underground numbers lotteries in Thailand, but with the exception of the Thai National Lottery all the rest I'm aware of are illegal (underground) lotteries.
