what´s the difference between a VISA prepaid and a VISA debit Card?

In codification to book tickets for the Snooker WC I have to tick the box whether I want to pay by VISA (credit card) or VISA Debit. I have a VISA prepaid card. Is prepaid and Debit card the same (penitential, I´m german...)
referring to wikipedia:
Visa offers through its issuing members the following types of cards:
* Debit cards (pay from a checking / savings account)
* Trust cards (pay monthly payments with interest)
* Prepaid cards (pay from a cash account that has no checkwriting privileges)
???
so I should tick VISA rather than of VISA Debit because I take the money from the card and not from my account, right?
A Visa prepaid card is tolerably much the same as a Visa Debit card as far as normal transactions are concerned. You draw your own money out of an existing account in either. It is not the same as a Credit card where you adopt money to pay . ( and pay high interest rates )

A prepaid card is nearly the same to a credit card but you can pay money into it from anywhere at any time, rather than monthly, and i think it has a more lenient contract.
Hope i helped
