List of eWallets for Canadians

[Phytopath]

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.

They said that their were no exchange fees, though I am not sure if I truly believe that. I haven't opened an account there but will look into it again. Anyone else have any experience with them?

LOL I was just going to post the same thing. I guess I don't need to wait for the email. Hopefully their reply about exchange fees is accurate.

Can somebody please show me where Mycitadel says Canadians can't use it for gambling?

OK, I've signed up for Moneybookers...piece of cake, and a US$ account was no problem. Only downside I see is that it looks like the only way to withdraw is with a Swift bank transfer for a $2.70 fee, not sure if those work here, or a cheque for a $4.70 fee. Not a big deal for me though, I never withdrew from Neteller either. That's what Party's for!

It appears you can deposit from your bank account for no fee, takes 2-5 days, or by CC for a 1.9% fee.

I have an outgoing transaction limit of $1326.90 US in any 90 day period...ugh. Apparently this can be increased to 3000 Euro by verifying with a CC deposit, or 5000 Euro by verifying with a bank deposit or having them snail mail you a verification letter. Still not much; I'm just a small-timer, but I could see pushing those limits if I'm busy bonus whoring. High rollers definitely won't like those limits. I'm going to contact them and see if that can be increased over time.

Thanks BF

I actually just called them. Same answer... Canadians banned on 4/2.

I just signed up for moneybookers and hooked them up to my bank account and did a $100 test withdrawal from battle to moneybookers.

After this I read something about sending limits, the highest you can have is $5000 EUR per 90day rolling period???? I withdraw more than that a week, does this mean I cannot count on them or is that merely for outside sending not sending to my email? They don't seem to have any online help?

[Bigfoot]

For those of you that have already signed up, what kind of limits does Click2Pay have on their transfers? What is the maximum withdrawal/deposit allowed in a specified period of time?

Hi Bobo,

Could you possibly edit the OP when you get updates instead of making new posts?

Thanks for this thread, it will help many of us!

It looks like if you do each one of those verifications your limit will increase by the amount specified for each.. So it would be possible to get it up over $14k by doing them all. Someone would need to confirm this though.
