moneybookers
I signed up for an account so that I can withdraw straight to my bank account. Does anyone have any experience with this? I cashed out last night and still nothing in my account. Should I get worried, or is there a holding period that anyone knows of? I never saw anything when I cashed it out....

Pain in tha azzzzzzzzzzz today moneybookers!!!!!
Sorry had to let that out,lol
If you cashed out last night, I believe it is 2-5 days for it to show up.
(you are talking about money in moneybookers account withdrawing to your bank account right?)
Really hope this is not the case...They didn't give me any errors or anything saying I had to deposit first, just had to verify my bank account and id, etc.
Yes Phil, trying to get it to bank acc. 2-5 days I can handle. Was trying to save the waiting period of cheque getting here, but its looking like this is more of a hassle than anything.
Last night I withdrew from stars, it showed up in MB like 5 mins after. No probs. Then I set up my bank account info and requested the withdrawal from MB to bank account. MB said it went through no problem, but no funds in the bank yet.
Actually both Stars and Tilt are quick with cheques...
O well...
I opened a USD account and conducted several bankwires from Moneybookers, all from $1000-3000 over that year, and never had an issue. Always took about 3-5 business days to show up, but usually arrived on the 3rd or 4th day. If I remember, the first one took the longest though.
I found it to be much less of a hassle then waiting for cheques in the mail, explaining to the bank where the money was coming from, and then waiting 4-6 weeks if they decided to put it through a collections service.
CIBC has never held any poker cheques on me at all from what I know....But I think the biggest I have deposited is like $1,200
Two tricks, have a USD account and have your overdraft linked to your line of credit. That way no hold on any cheques at least up to your credit line balance.. Tell the bank the truth, they really don't care, unless perhaps the cheque is over $10k because of money laundering....Is that perhaps where it went wrong for you Philli?
Ditto. for TD...
That's good advice.
I was never in a rush for the cash, like OP is in this case, so the wait for cheques was more of a nuisance than a problem.
Oh you guys got fancy accounts and such, that's why.
Last time I got a cheque it was actually a cheque from Canadian bank and the bank still freaked out and really did not even want to take it and had to wait weeks for them to clear it. ( was about 2 years ago), just went with payment processors since.
p.s.
Bank tellers are not the swiftest here.
I'm in China now, so I can't access my account without a VPN to check, and the internet is not cooperating at the moment.
With the USD bank account linked, there are no other fees for currency conversion.
38 DOLLARS!!!!!:o
Your getting ripped off, that is -ev blondefish, are you losing your touch.:p
I thought it was bad enough the 15 bucks at Royal Bank.
The fees are charged by the intermediary/sending banks.
My last wire was only $10 + MB fees.
I cannot remember what mb fees were but they are posted on the site
A couple of months later I tried to make another deposit and RBC VISA would not let it go through. I had stopped Playing and I got an email from Absolute, Before Ub took over, I hadn't played for awhile. They gave me a whole 10 bucks to try and get me back to the tables. Way too many hoops to jump through IMO. Just to make a friking deposit.
It is the fight against money laundering that is causing these prob's. Just don't deposit, only withdraw and you're fine.
