Title: Moneybookers? Post by: Jim-D on January 14, 2009, 07:36:25 PM Does any body use Moneybookers for their poker transactions? I need a new deposit method other than neteller or my registered debit card, I've signed up to a moneybookers account but just wanted opinions on it before i make a transfer
Thanks Jim. Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: boldie on January 14, 2009, 07:50:59 PM I used to use it about a year ago, works like a charm. Customer service was very friendly as well. I use Neteller now (as moneybookers wasn't accepted by a lot of sites) but am thinking of stopping that because of the charges and every transaction back to my bank taking a full week every time.

I had to set one up to withdraw from Full Tilt (I deposited there using a switch/maestro card but when I went to withdraw they said you can't withdraw to a maestro card, despite the fact that I'd done so with no problem from Boyles & SkyPoker :dontask:). Tried Neteller first but found them impossible as they didn't even recognise my bank card. Setting up account on Moneybookers was easy, got bank account verified by scanning in stuff & emailling it to them. Withdrew from Full Tilt , deposited some on Pokerstars, withdrew rest to bank account. Had no problems. Title: Re: Moneybookers?

Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: MC on January 14, 2009, 08:07:25 PM Moneybookers is top notch imo, the only bad thing about it is the transaction fees and such...
Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: Jim-D on January 14, 2009, 08:08:52 PM Are the fees any worse than say Neteller?
Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: MC on January 14, 2009, 08:34:00 PM Probably not, though I haven't used neteller for a long time
It's like £1.50 to withdraw money to your bank account Just don't use it for sending money to other people, much better to transfer on stars/FT for things like that Speed is one + with moneybookers, it all seems pretty prompt...

Neteller is a 5'er Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: Jim-D on January 14, 2009, 08:37:57 PM OK thanks guys
It will only be used for depositing and hopefully withdrawing from FT, now to see about that deposit.. Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: Dino on January 14, 2009, 08:39:36 PM I withdrew £630 from trillion via moneybookers a couple of months ago and the charge was £2.58.The entire process from requesting the money from trillion to it arriving in my bank from moneybookers took 5 days.
Title: Re: Moneybookers? Post by: Thebat on January 14, 2009, 09:59:27 PM I can recommend moneybookers, its instant to deposit on fulltilt with it and when i withdraw to moneybookers its usually sorted the same day. the first time i withdrew it took about 3 days but the more i use it the quicker it seems to get :dontask:
