It should always be limited, such as they only get to watch one video.
If you don't provide a limited trial, what stops a user from rejoining every once in a while and scraping your content? What would stop a pirate from scraping all your content? Now imagine this as free.

Most websites use IPSPs instead of gateway billing like what you have. That means your transactions are more likely to succeed, as you don't have a shared blacklist and can customize your scrubbing/fraud parameters.
As stated by others, the reason so many of your attempts are declining, is because seeing "free", you attract low-caliber users signing up with prepaid and near-zero cards. In places like the US, prepaid card use is on the rise, especially for online purchases.
Very simple solutions:
1. Don't provide full access. Provide limited access
2. If you wish, set the parameter in your billing to deny prepaids and force users to use a normal CC. That will drop your signup rate, but you'll get better-quality cards (although this is a very strict solution). Alternatively, do $1 trials
3. Work with a cross-sale partner such as bang.com or mindgeek, who are willing to buy your cross-sales, and probably give you tips on how to best manage these transactions, as it is their interest to get high-quality, chargeable cards as well.
