For gaming purposes, Colusa cardholders can transfer funds, in real-time, utilizing Sightline’s proprietary closed-loop SPAN™ network, to and from Brick & Mortar and Interactive (iGaming) Wagering Accounts for use at the cashier cage, table games, social gaming sites and iGaming sites*. Using the open-loop general purpose reloadable prepaid card, which runs on the Discover network, cardholders can make cash withdrawals (including ATM) or purchases within or outside the Colusa property for travel, dining, hotel and more at locations everywhere Discover cards are accepted.

Colusa cardholders can prefund their accounts online, through their mobile phone or load funds at the casino with cash, jackpot payouts, check cashing and numerous other ways, including chip redemption.
