Moneybookers

[Wampeter]

Hello All,
I am from Canada.
I recently tried to withdraw some money from UB via Moneybookers, as I have done many times in the past, but found that Moneybookers was no longer on my list of options, so I emailed support to find out why.
I was informed:
"After reviewing your case, I have noticed that Money bookers is no longer available for USA or Canadian citizens. This service will only operate for Europe customers since this company is no longer operating for gaming industry customers in North America or Canada."

When did this happen? DID this happen? I've looked through a bunch of recent posts about e-wallets for Canadians and found no mention, nor can I find any info on the Moneybookers site itself.

I've emailed Moneybookers support to ask them about it, but I have no idea how long they will take to get back to me. I figured someone here must know something about this?

Thanks,
Rob

I cashed out from Stars to Moneybookers today and I'm Canadian

Yeah I've just initiated a withdrawal to Moneybookers from Eurobet, with no sign of a problem. So it seems that UB is either being proactive about an impending shutdown of Moneybookers to North American customers, which dosn't really seem like their style, OR they just lied and want to keep my money, which really does seem like their style.

I just cashed out from UB to moneybookers yesterday. The money's already in my account.

Man, are you serious? If UB was my girlfriend, we'd be so broken up right now, and I'd be telling everyone who would listen what a bad lay she was.

Back in the spring UB pulled this with a few people as well...told them MB couldn't be used in Canada. I don't think they're trying to scam anyone, they just have utterly incompetent CS. I'd keep perservering if I were you.
