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  ). 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

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
