Hey guys.I'm just wondering if anyone has made any international wire deposits from Canada into their sportsbooks and if so, did you have any difficulty doing it? I remember a year ago I tried to deposit via a bank transfer at my bank to get a 20% bonus offer at WSEX and the people at the bank had no idea how to do a wire transaction at all so I just said forget about it and continued depositing via cheque and credit card to the books. The time has come again though where I need to make a deposit and was thinking that maybe bankwires are the best way to go about doing this so just wondering if you guys have had any problems doing one
bankwires are a big hassle, i tried it once and the bank didn't even know their own swift code, but just keep trying until you find someone in the bank who knows how to do it, usually it is one person in the branch, but it is certainly the most efficient way for large amounts, checks are usally held for 14 days, min
Well the wire was done today and it wasn't that smooth. Every site gives you a printout of the information you have to give to the bank but my bank wanted to also know the address of the the gambling site as well so I had to call and get that.Was a pain.
Then I was informed that the wire will take 3-5 business days to get there but it will take at least 2 business days just to see if the ****ing thing went through in the first place.They said they would call me and let me know if there was a problem. You would think in this day and age they could tell whether the funds transferred through or not. I am sure all wire transfers happen in real-time and the banks just make us wait 3-5 business days so they can hold onto our money.
hi stacocakes,
im in the same boat as you. going to transfer from bank of montreal to moneybookers.
do you have the address you needed to call for?
it would save me some time...
do5000 I was doing a wire from my bank to Betfair. THe address they needed was the bank address that it was going to and the address that the bank has on the bank account for Betfair.
Would be so much easier Durito if I could do the wire online but my bank doesn't allow that.Just allows these little interac money transfers that have low limits
Has been almost 24 hours and still no call yet.Maybe the wire actually went through.Here's hoping
