    How reliable is Moneybookers?

    Does it work just like paypal? I was thinking of buying prepaid debt cards via moneybookers so I don't have to transfer thousands to my bank acount(for tax reasons). has anyone tried this before? Thanks for the help guys.

    Moneybookers are very reliable,haven`t tried the prepaid CC yet,but i would imagine that it is ok.As long as you have money in your Moneybookers account then you can use it wherever you want.

    I use Moneybookers all the time. They are better than Neteller imo. If you are from the US, you won't be able to open an account though.

    Both Moneybookers and Neteller are great. The are the easist, fastest and cheapest ways of transferring your money to and from bookies.
    Ther customer service however is VERY poor in the rare instances where there is a problem/issue.

    Why do you say this? I am from the US and I opened an account. I haven't funded it yet though.

    Only for vip I think. It's a **********, online only. Works quite nicely, just like a normal credit card, only fee is 2 euros per transfer to get cash out of an ATM. Max 250 euros though, so that's not too ideal - better just to use the card for purchases.

    I have trusted them for several years without problems.

    Service is poor until you turn VIP, then it is great.

    The ********** cannot be used for gaming, but "everything else" I believe. (Obviously I have not tried Everything!

    If you live in the U.S you won't be able to use Moneybookers at all.

    You have to check with moneybookers to be sure, but from memory I think the rule is that if you're in US, you can sign up and use moneybookers for everything BUT gaming activities (so no sports betting...)
