I think so, I deposited $50 and e-mailed them and they switched it...haven't tried withdrawing yet.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Thought I would set up MB account since that seems the way to go,and since I am a cheap Canadian I thought I would clear a bonus thru Pokersavvy and initially fund MB that way. Afterseveral hours of tortured poker getting 500 mpp's on random Crypto site finally the obligation to poker savvy was finished. Trouble is after 2 weeks still no bonus credited lol. I emailed Pokersavvy and was told the Crypto site says theres no record of my user name ever playing there(even though they still spam my email with offers directed to my user name).

The intranets are completely retarded as am I.

send them hand histories as proof.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

20+ offers completed at PokerSavvy, I have yet to have an offer not be credited. Only problem I had was that Betfair said my account was not tracked to them, but Savvy let me know before I even started, which I didn't bother because I couldn't even get their crappy software to work.

I think it's good news they don't find a record of you...that seems to just be an issue of your user name being recorded incorrectly somewhere in the chain, as opposed to a tracking problem which can't always be fixed. I'd work with Savvy, I bet they can get it fixed up for you.

I will send them HH's .... good suggestion...thanks

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

you can setup MB to transfer directly to any USD account in your name, and can add multiple accounts with a few mouseclicks

NO MORE CLICK2PAY DEBIT CARDS!
i put in a request for an ATM card from these muppets...got this in my email this morning:
[ QUOTE ]
Dear Mr Heinrichsohn,

Thank you for contacting the CLICK2PAY Service Team.

Unfortunately, we no longer offer the CLICK2PAY Debit Card. However, we are pleased to present Wirecard as the new withdrawal option for our users.

Wirecard is the online account of the Wirecard Bank which provides you with a virtual and an optional classic prepaid MasterCard. The virtual MasterCard contains all the card data necessary for making online and telephone orders – the card number, expiry date, and Card Verification Code (CVC2).

The classic MasterCard, which is currently available in Austria, France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and the US, allows you to purchase at millions of online or mail-order companies as well as points of sales worldwide where MasterCard is accepted. The classic MasterCard can also be used at any ATM bearing the MasterCard logo in order to withdraw funds from the Wirecard account.

In order to request your withdrawal from CLICK2PAY to Wirecard please send an email to withdrawal.click2pay@click2pay.com. Please include the following information:

- your full name
- your secret answer
- the last four digits of your PAN number and
- the amount you want to withdraw

Once we have received your email we will supply you with all further information necessary for the withdrawal.

Please note that you can also withdraw your funds by check through the CLICK2PAY website. Please note that the minimum withdrawal amount is EUR 20.00 and that there is a fee of EUR 2.00 for the check withdrawal. Please also note that the check will be issued in Germany and has EURO as currency.

In order to withdraw funds from CLICK2PAY please:

- go to www.click2pay.com
- make sure to disable all popup blockers you might have installed
- login to your account (your login = email address / password = your own password).
- Click on WITHDRAWAL.

The check will be sent to your registered address within 3 to 5 business days. Please make sure to check if your registered address is up to date before requesting a check.

Should you have further questions about the information given above, please reply directly to this email, including our original text and ticket number. This will help us to deal with your inquiry much faster.

WTF! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Should I give this virtual mastercard a shot, or tell these clowns where to go? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

The Click2Pay debit card SUCKS for the fees anyway.

The money is in US$ on the card, so when you cashout money using an ATM machine, the ATM takes a 2-3% fees in the conversion to CA$ AND Click2Pay take a 2% fee for the transaction... so it is a total of almost 5% fees!

Moneybookers is really the BEST alternative right now.

-I'll call this the bobo fett method: cycle profits back to PP using MB. Give PP some poker action then request to withdraw your monies to your bank account using their EFT service.

Party charges a small $2.50 USD fee now for EFT, not sure if thats new
I got charged a $5.00 inactive fee after 17 days by Party


The Bobo Fett method is actually better than what you mentioned. You wait for a reload offer, complete the playthrough for the bonus, then cashout via EFT.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

I deposited my Click2Pay cheque from Germany at my local TD CanadaTrust about 6 weeks ago today.
So far i have not seen the funds show up in my TD bank account. I also have not heard one thing from my bank, and have not received any word about NSF or bad cheque from my bank. The cheque seems to have vanished.
Luckily I have a friend at TD who I just spoke to and he is putting in an investigation now and says he'll get back to me in the next few days with where it is and what has been happening with it.

Does anyone know the best way to get my money off of C2P?

My idea is to get the money from C2P onto Full Tilt, then Full Tilt into Moneybookers, then MB deposit at pokerstars, finally getting a cashout cheque from pokerstars.
Pokerstars cheques are the best withdrawal method BY FAR imo.
I plan on playing some FTP after making a smallish MB deposit after getting all my click2pay money on first. I'll play some stars before making withdrawals as i know they don't allow you to make a withdrawal by cheque without withdrawing from the deposit method first.
Hopefully this will all work.
Anyone know better ways to get money to the bank from C2P?

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Alright I've searched the whole thread here. I know a few people have withdrawn via cheque from MB but I havent seen anyone report on how long its taken for it to cash.

Would I be better off sucking up the 10$ wire transfer fee and just get the cash immediatly rather than wait the estimated 25 days?

How long does wire take and is there any hidden fees associated with it?

Black Knight stated earlier:

MB Cheque Trip Report:

Requested on the 9th, arrived on the 19th...so <2 business weeks. Going to take <15business days to clear my bank, though. So, the wire is absolutely the best option.

My first and only wire took about 4 business days and the funds were available immediately, no waiting for it to clear.

Thanks GB

Was it just a $10 fee charged by the bank? I have a canadian chequing account.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

$10 fee from the bank for the wire...the cheque took just under 4 business weeks to actually clear.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

BTW, FWIW, I've done about 4 wires since and most are 2-3 business days...I'm very happy.

You don't HAVE to do any of the verification steps. There are 3 of them, and they are stirctly to increase your limit. You can do none, any, or all of them...each one increases your limit further. Here's how the limits work:

1,000 Euro initially.

CC verification - 3,000 Euro increase when they charge your card, then a further 3,000 Euro when you confirm the amount.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok so I've had MB charge my card a couple bucks and they immediatly increased my limit by 4200. I phoned visa and found the amount in canadian $ on my credit card that was charged so where do I type that in on the MB website? I tried going to 'increase limits' but it no longer lists anything about credit cards...

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Wow. I can't remember the Canadian dollar ever being this high. Although it's gone down a bit since yesterday.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

need an answer please: can i deposit with a visa onto pokerstars.(visa) associated with scotia..Yes or no?

thanks in advance

macnab242

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

macnab, I've tried with a scotia visa and it hasn't worked for pokerstars, nor Prima, and not even for Moneybookers verification.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

on a side note: i got my account upgraded to "professional gambler" status as you can use up your limits pretty quick on Moneybookers.
had to phone england 3 times though, before i finally got someone who was competent enough to help.
the whole process took 3-4 days.

Not sure, as that's where I thought it was. Perhaps they don't increase it twice anymore...but then I don't know what the point of the verification charge would be, if they don't need you to verify it.

That being said, if you find it, I'm pretty sure it's the US amount they will be looking for. I waited for my CC statement, as they show the original US charge on there, but for some reason couldn't give it to me over the phone.

The visa limit is $101 USD wtf, I talked to them about it and they said they cant increase it. Retarded

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

has any Canadians used ecocard? On their websites it says Canadian EFTs are now available. Sounds like a good neteller alternative.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Thx guys, got my CIBC visa and deposited 50$ then cashed out 450 and it works fine, except the fees. 446$US got me 456$CAN on my statement, ughhh.

Well at least it works, and hopefully I can use it to cash out a big part of my roll w/out triggering signals at banks and the revenue agency.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

I signed-up for Fair Poker and was disappointed that there's no Ecocard option since I've maxed out my MB limit. I'm not sure about other iPoker skins, but we may have to update the list.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

My capital one credit card no longer works on pstars so I am going to apply for a visa somewhere else. Any thoughts on which Canadian bank to go with? Sounds like cibc visa is working for some. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

I use a Visa from Desjardins (Quebec) and it has worked on every site i've tried so far (FTP/UB/Party).

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Hey guys, I've read most of this thread. I think I've settled on moneybookers. I plan to use moneybookers to transfer between sites, and eventually cashout through Party's EFT to my Canadian checking account. When I sign up with moneybookers, do I use a canadian or US funds account? What about for the visa card? Is this the best option for my needs?

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

i see that UseMyBank isn't on your list...they are significant because pokerstars has them. i think AP and prima have them as well.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

AFAIK UseMyBank is not an eWallet...just a way to make payments from your bank account to a poker site.

You don't HAVE to use any bank account...I never have. I assume you could use either, someone can correct if I'm wrong. You should be setting your MB account up in US $, so I imagine you would be wise to use a US $ bank account if you are able to.

What are you asking about the Visa card?

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

Okay guys, so I have money on MB that I want to withdraw. I read back in this thread that there is a $10 hidden fee fromt he banks side if you use the bank wire transfer? Can this be confirmed?

On MB it states that I need to pay only $2.48 USD for a wire transfer and $4.83 USD for a cheque in USD.

What's the better option? Wire transfer = hidden fee?, cheque is more expensive and slower but is the upfront cost all I have to pay?

I just did my first cheque w/d and it was fairly quick (as far as cheques go anyways). It took 10 days and there was no clearing delay once I cashed it cuz my bank said they'd seen me make these kind of deposits in the past from other poker sites/e-wallets.

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)
 

just a FYI for everyone, i was able to withdrawal into my InstaDebit account from absolute poker without having made a deposit first.
