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.

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.

Yes.
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.

How long a process from when you withdraw from the site for the money to get to your bank? and are the charges fair?

Moneybookers is top notch imo, the only bad thing about it is the transaction fees and such...

Are the fees any worse than say Neteller?

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

OK thanks guys

It will only be used for depositing and hopefully withdrawing from FT, now to see about that deposit..

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.

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:
