    Moneybookers

    Hi,

    Depositing via CC a hassle. Seems like a lot of issues with Wires. Looking at using Moneybookers. Opinions?

    Thanks!

    Instant free deposit to books, free mastrcard for VIP customers, great promotions (6 week 1% cashback on all transactions just ended recently), what else do you need to know? Best e-wallet out there IMO.

    and the **********'s daily cash withdrawal limit was just increased to €500 or its equivalent ...

    a VIP gets a free securID fob, which combined with their new policy means you are protected against acct misuse/hacking

    I was thinking about signing up for it because a service I wanted to pay for uses it.
    I wasn't sure about it though.
    Is is more or less like pay pal? Is pay pal better?

    Thanks.

    Moneybookers is a great processor, but be warned; they will gladly tell books if your account is linked (via p2p) with other accounts that the book may not find to be favorable.

    Paypal is far inferior, especially for bettors.

    It has been discussed at length both here and elsewhere on the internet. If you read their terms you can find evidence of it there also.

    It is part of their business model and why they are so near and dear to merchants in the online gaming industry. Occasionally suspicious merchants will request the data (it has been speculated they do this for a fee). Other times Moneybookers simply volunteers the data.

    ComeOn Sports - Thanks Moneybookers

    I have found Moneybookers to be invaluable. Better than Neteller.
    But if you're a Yank they are no use for funding bookies.
    And don't try anything dodgy or they will come down hard on you.

    Neteller is not even in the same league as Moneybookers.

    If you can get yourself their "Pro Gambler" status then you will feel like the king of the world.

    I believe Moneybookers doesn't accept US customers. And even if they do, you can't use them for gambling transactions.

    Yep. As I understand it US customers can open a MB account but can't use it to fund gambling related businesses.

    US Citizens can have a MB account for gambling purposes as long as they do not live in the US.

    WOW, I'm thinking of moving.

    I can't seem to win (less action).

    They certainly let me open an account. Figured I was home free and now the cold water.

    The problem in the US is that the feds/states have so much at stake with the lotteries that they will spend billions trying to squash any kind of legitimate gambling where you might actually have a chance to win. Maybe if they just legalized and controlled sports betting they could solve the national debt and not become the next Greece that they appear to be.

    So apart from linking your CC to your account and paying for goods or services you can transfer money to your moneybookers account from your bank and then deposit it to another account you have at another bank?

    They do but unless you have an address outside of the US you won't be able to transact with gambling related businesses.
