Yes, MB is instant. Obviously, there is a problem with those 2 deposits, and there is a thread in this forum where someone else had a problem with the same 2 sites. He has deposited to them before from MB without a problem. I was able to deposit to Everest instantly. Unfortunately, UB & Party likely have the worst service among the big sites, so getting answers is not happening real quickly.

Yes, you can have a Moneybookers US dollar account. Not so with C2P.

Thanks Bobo for doing this for us Canadians leaving Neteller. Right now I'm leaning towards Moneybookers because I don't want to deal with currency exchange fees. Their limits could be a problem. Give us a heads up when your Moneybookers deposits go through. 1 for 3 deposits confirmed doesn't sound very good right now.

I've been using moneybookers for a year or so without any problems. All of my transfers to sites have been instant, with the merchant absorbing the fees. Their CS email is service at moneybookers.com. They're not going to win any awards for the quality or speed of their customer service, but most of you are probably used to that.

Has anyone ever used eWalletXpress? I'm thinking of signing up but it doesn't seem like anyone has used it before..

Surprised MB is taking so long to deposit into Party.

Some time last year I deposited into Best Casino/Poker via neteller. No neteller withdrawals so I had to create a money booker account. That withdrew fine. All that swift stuff I had to setup seemed like a hassle so I just dumped it into Party instead, which was instant. I then used Party EFT which is the best in the business.

So for C2P is it only CAD$ accounts, and is it true about no exchange fee?

Yes, and YES!!! I just got my money back from Sun. I deposited $20 which cost me $23.19, pulled it back out and just received $23.20! It would appear there REALLY is no vig on the currency exchange.

For anyone who would like to get their MB account funded without having to add more money to their bankroll, there may be two options. I used PokerSavvy - a site like PSO that gives kickbacks for signinup and completing offers at sites. Also, it seems a poster from another MB thread on here was actually able to withdraw to MB without having made an MB deposit first. This is quite unusual, most (all?) sites won't allow this, so I'm not sure if it was an anomaly, or if it will work for everyone.

How about we start listing credit cards that work/don't work as well. Paradise is claiming they will credit cc's upon withdrawals. A bit sceptical if that is true.

I looked into Click2Play a few weeks back, they wont let Canadians sign up under USD$ (or they would let me do it anyway). I shot them an email after I noticed that there was no option for your choice of currency.

This is a little complication for me. Most sites were designed for the US market. While everything is going to go euros in the future of on-line poker, the roots are in USD, and I am pretty sure because of that, the US currency will be around still for quite a while.

I also have this problem with CAN currency only through C2P. My money on most poker sites will show up in USD currency. Well, when I log things I also tie in my pooled off-line monies which are in the holding-tank as well. Now I have to cross-figure currency exchange rates (this changes daily) just to keep all my figures up to date. In fact, it wouldn't balance out right because as mentioned the currency exchange rate changes daily.

Just another head-ache that I'll have to put up with and solve somehow. I just think it's very backwards that an organization who was trying to compete with neteller can't supply a basic fundamental feature such as specifying what currency to use.

This MAY change soon, but that doesn't help me by April 8'th.

This is a quote from Intercasino's Credit Card funding page.

"As of January 1st 2004, VISA have stopped accepting withdrawals from Online Casinos back onto customer’s credit cards. However, this only affects customers who reside in certain countries (to view the countries affected, please click here)."

Canada was one of the countries listed, so I assume that no matter what the poker/casino site says, it's up the credit card company if they will allow withdrawals. They only mentioned Visa as having this restriction. No idea about other credit cards.

Bobo, I'll likely be doing the Poker Savvy and MB thing in the next couple of days. As a thank you for all your work I may as well give you the referrals if you have any RAF #'s at either. If so, PM me and I'll be sure to use you.

Thanks again for doing this for all of us.
