Using online banking as a means to make a deposit..
Does anyone have any info or know if you can use ur bank account as a means to deposit to a poker client? I see on pokertrillion it has a "Bank Transfer" option but I can't choose a bank or anything it is definately not making it simple for me! The first thing that comes up when I choose Bank Transfer has RBC bank or somethin and I use CIBC. I also can't see anywhere where I can select a different bank. Anybody know anything about this?

I recommend getting a moneybookers account. Most sites use them now and the transfers are free between Moneybookers and poker sites if you're set up in $US.
You can do a transfer to moneybookers from your bank, but it's a wire transfer. Moneybookers has no fee, but there may be a bank fee. TD charged me $10 on a withdrawl from moneybookers, so it's not alot.
Takes 2-3 biz days for the deposit.
alot of people on 2+2 are having issue with MB. mostly hidden charge.
if your credit card don't work with the site, then probly not gonna work with MB.
Never had a hidden charge on MB.
They may have been dinged with cash advance fees by their CC company (e.g. PC Mastercard charges 3.75 for a deposit to mb)
You answered your own question.
Funny how that is huh Ron.... Lotsa million dollar players but most looking for ways to deposit.... oooo, now I'm gonna get flamed..
go to 2+2 and search for MB
there is alot raising concern with MB
there is already few threads about MB fraud.
Base $5 charge per is not too bad, as long as you dont deposit every day.
No CC cash advance surcharge since they changed their server to FPS.
The beat is that you cant withdraw through them unless you have a "Special" Epassporte VISA. I just setup accounts throught FTP and stars for mailed cheques.
Recent posts there indicate the issue has been resolved.
Looks more like a gltch than fraud.
i hope some other company can step up
I'm still trying to understand the difference between Netteller and Moneybookers, seems the same to me although I've never needed to fund it...
Only slight brag post...
Yup they are essentially the same.
netteller is use on over 90% of poker site
moneybooker is not.
plus my is in CAD
i'm looking to do some bonus whoring. now having hard time depositing.
Like said previously, it is instantaneous!
I looked into everything from Moneybookers to Click2Pay, and InstaDebit was the best by far!
I don't know what sites you play on, but most of mine take moneybookers. You must be playing on alot of smaller sites. I play on about 20 sites and atleast 15 of them take moneybookers. Plus my moneybookers is in USD, you should have set yours up that way.
i also have account at mansion poker.
my problem with MB....it's me stupid and sigup it up in CAD.....
but a nail down a few site that i want to do bonuswhoring.
40% take MB, 40% take Epass, 20% credit card.......
while netteller is on there 95% of the time.
but.....
if you deposit in USD. and it will remind in your account as USD.
they have seperate balance for CAD and USD funds
so when you sent it to other poker site, you'll not get hit exchange rate.
they only allow you to connect a CAD account to instadebit.
when you deposit to your bank account. you'll take a exchange rate hit.
all service are free.
