List of eWallets for Canadians

[JOHNY CA$H]

Thanks for all the help guys!

I've been reading through this thread, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on which method is best, C2P or MB. Perhaps a comparison of the two would be helpful-outlining the pros and cons of each.

Does MB offer a debit card?
Are any other ewallets out there that offer one?

Thanks pontuan and nima. One more question: if I manage to make a deposit to Party using MB as well as EFT, will I forever have both as a withdrawal option? Or can you only withdraw using the last method you deposited with?

[/ QUOTE ]

You shouldn't have a problem. I was always able to withdraw via EFT and Neteller. I've deposited with MB now, and although I haven't actually done it yet, I know of no reason I won't be able to use either method for withdrawing. The Cryptos are the only site I know of that lock you into one and only one method at a time, although there may be others.

It might still be worth setting up a Moneybookers account. You only have to do the wire transfer once, then you can at least move some money around once it's established. Plus, you can always cash money out via Party EFT later if you want to. The Pokersavvy bonuses for Moneybookers are also generous, but they require you to have a Moneybookers account already established.

Actually, I believe Savvy will allow you to cash out to an MB account whether you have one or not. If you don't, you will apparently get an email from MB when they're ready to process your transfer, and they will allow you to set one up at that time.

That's the whole purpose of the summary that I keep updating and reposting throughout this thread...I will do so again below. Is there any other info we need to make it easier to compare?

[Bobo Fett]

Anyone have any changes for the new thread, or a C2P ATM card trip report?

No.

Yes - ePassporte &amp; Ecocard are two that I know, there are likely others.

Any word on whether or not Interpoker will ever offer Moneybookers? I finally got an account set up there since they are one of the few decent options for bonuses nowadays, and of course they do not offer MB as an option. How are you Canadians funding Interpoker accounts?

[Gottaget]

Bobo Fett,

I noticed you have Mansion listed as payment options for both moneybookers and ecocard. Have you been able to successfully deposit? When I attempt, I get a message saying payment option is "unavailable to customers with CAD accounts"
I know other sites take both ecocard and moneybookers from Canadians, so it seemed strange. It got even stranger when I clicked in Netteller and I did NOT get the same message.

I've heard nothing, and to answer your question, I'm not. Stopped playing there when they changed back from raked hands to MPPs. If I did play there, I'd fund it with C2P, like I do with Sun.
