WSEX not processing Moneybookers withdrawals?

[new2betting]

To summarize:

1) I open a WSEX account due to the good reviews

2) I fund my account using moneybookers

3) I do some bets

4) I want to withdraw

5) I choose moneybookers to withdraw by

6) I wait for my funds to appear...

7) Funds do not get transferred

8) I email WSEX customer service regarding my small moneybookers withdrawal

9) I get this reply:

Dear Customer,

We are currently having technical difficulties with Moneybookers, so it is
temporarily unavailable. If you wish to make a withdrawal, you need to
request a bank draft.

Regards,

If they had a problem with moneybookers, then it would be a 2-way problem (no deposits and no withdrawals). Apparently, it is a funny excuse to say that they cannot do "pay-outs" to moneybookers but they can receive funds from moneybookers.

Doing a bank draft would just be too costly since I am from Asia.

Does anybody else have the same problems or is this just the "keep your money with us longer" strategy?

I just find it unfair that they would let you "easily" deposit and then give you a "difficult" time to withdraw.

Most of bookies who concentrate on US market do not have moneybookers as an option at all as they primarelly use(d) neteller for their transactions. Try to deposit something through neteller and you should be able to withdraw it to neteller as well.
My guess is that they just do not have any funds in moneybookers ATM.

My country is not allowed in Neteller but is allowed on Moneybookers.

And based on their website "cashier" area, they do accept deposits and withdrawals via moneybookers.

If they have given a "warning" that "we do not do moneybookers withdrawals" then I would not have joined-in in the first place.

So, this is another case of easy-to-deposit but difficult-to-withdraw.

Unhappy for now until I get my withdrawal. And it is not a large amount (which makes it worse).
