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?

[hypermegachi]

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.

[Bobo Fett]

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?

[mephisto]

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?

It's true. Most banks charge an incoming wire fee. My bank charges $10 U.S.

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.

[hypermegachi]

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