    Hi guys,I find myself wasting a lot of time and track of my money when depositing/withdrawing from all my Poker Accounts…I currently have 5-6 accounts and I am going to open more as bonuses gets cleared (I stay on average 2 months on a software and then I change) – so I know many of you use Neteller and MoneyBookers to transfer money in/out of their accounts – could you please advise the pro and cons of using one versus the other? I am not sure which one I should go for….Thank you in advance!

    I'd like to know this aswell. I've never had an account in either and would like some more info before depositing my hard earned.

    There have been a few similar threads to this before. Try some key words in the search function above and you should find some of these threads.

    I remember signing up to neteller but i never really used it so i cant say if its good or not.

    I use moneybookers, i like it and find its good and user friendly. You can upload money from your bank acc and credit card onto moneybookers and can withdraw in e500's. The upload/withdrawlcharges can be read in moneybookers FAQ.

    You will initially have to provide photo I.D, scan off passport, utility bill before first transaction for security reasons.

    Annoying things:
    If you miss type 3 times in a row you cannot access your account for 24 hours so be carefull. Also if you try a transaction from another i.p address you can be locked down just as quick if you make just one typo so be carefull.


    p.s
    you can deposit in bookie shop and then use moneybookers to withdraw into your moneybooker wallet and then you can deposit this money into other sites.

    Should I set up my moneybookers account in euros or dollars?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,900 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I set mine up in euro, just as I felt it was a safer bet due to the climate. I have some accounts in euro too, that way you dont lost out if the dollar drops


    Also, as my sig clear says, Moneybooker > Neteller

    Why does your sig say that?
    I use both and I don't really see difference between both although I don't like the fact moneybookers has annoying limit on transaction in a 6 months period

    Because its true.


    As for the limit, it starts off low, but as soon as you link a Credit or debit card, it goes up and again when you comfirm your address, I think mine is 5 figures in a month now.

    Ive never had a problem with neteller, $10 to withdraw to a bank account, no other charges, my account and all poker accounts are in dollars so no charges there either, oh and theyve great bonuses.

    Yeah well that's convinced me!

    I have my credit card linked and it's 5 figures but I still rather it was higher and no time limit ala neteller!


    *Obvious brag*

    Btw I decided to do a withdrawl from moneybookers to my account today.
    The fee to withdraw was $2.80 while on neteller the fee to withdraw is €1

    I used to use Neteller and found them just as easy for depositing/withdrawing as Moneybookers but switched to Moneybookers as I found Netellers support to have gotten pretty sh1te tbh.
