Moneybookers
For those that have used it...
1a) How long does it take to wire money from your bank to them? b) how long to transfer from Moneybookers to poker sites? c) how long to withdraw from Moneybookers back to bank? 2a) What is the max deposit from Moneybookers into a poker site? b) fees? 3) Overall opinions? |

Re: Moneybookers
1a) never tried.
1b) instant. 1c) about a week. 2a) depends on the site. pokerstars maxes out at $600 per deposit, party maxes at $500, etc. you have incoming/outgoing limits for your account. after your credit card gets verified, they up everything. once your bank is verified, they up it again. i have somewhere around 15k transfers over a 90-day period. 2b) free to/from sites. getting money to/from moneybookers will depend on how much your bank charges for international bank wires. 3) if you're non-US, it's a good replacement for NETELLER for everyone except the high rollin ballers. |

[/ QUOTE ] if you're canadian you can use party's EFT to get money directly get money to/from your bank account. pokerstars appears to have similar options for various banks from other countries. since you play fairly high, click2pay may be another option for you. you'll need to eat up the wire fees though. the debit card is still shakey(read the canadian thread about options). |

Re: Moneybookers
The country I live in, the banks go through US intermediary so you can't send wires.
I don't care about wire fees, as long there is no percentage fee. The main parameter is that I can send large outgoing transactions (>$10k) from them to the pokersite. I want to see if there is a good alternative to Neteller. |

Re: Moneybookers
well, if you can't send/receive wires you're pretty screwed. your best bet is probably to have some high stakes friends who can help you out with money in other means.
