    Sportsbetting won't write a check to Canadian players.
    And won't pay moneybookers either, although they are more than happy to take in moneybookers.

    I put in for a $1500 withdrawal, couldn't get it moneybookers, now it got returned because they said they are not issuing checks to Canadians "at this time".

    Leaves me with only a bank wire as an option. Bank wires are a pain in the ass IMO, I am going to play my funds out instead. If I go broke, they win. If I get it up there a bit, I'll wire, at least I will have an amount worth getting annoyed about.

    They do pick up the wire charges.

    No processor for the friendly Canucks?

      Yes, sounds like a processor problem. They hope to get it fixed.

        been using bank wires from them for awhile. real fast and easy. why gamble if you really do not want to. they need very little infomation. and of course you know they pay fee's on up to 2 wires or $50 a month.

          Bank wires are OK, but in my case they come into my bank as American $$ which I bet in, and the bank charges me to convert to Canadian. With Moneybookers I can keep all my gambling funds as US dollars.

            Open a USD account at your bank. It's still not as convenient as moneybookers, but you can convert the money to CAD when you want. Or, just upload it back to moneybookers.

              They won't approve an upload back to Moneybookers. And yes, I probably could do a wire to my US savings, but I haven't done one before.

              I thought for sure they would now payout in Moneybookers, since I have deposited twice there Moneybookers. Strange, since it is a cheap way for them to pay players.

                That is a huge pain in the ass, but I disagree with you. I don't think it's very cheap for books to pay moneybookers, unless they cut some kind of deal with them, it's a % of the amount sent for merchants. I'm sure it's very similar to wire fees.
