Okay! As stated per moneybookers support, if I was to create a new account with them (Moneybookers) after May 2012 they would allow such transactions such as Mobpoints cashouts, purchases on e-bay outside the U.S. and other poker affiliate transactions such as withdraws from Carbon poker.
I just created the new account and have attempted to cashout 15,000 Mobpoints. I really hate to see them go, but they'll go to good use (I hope).
I'm sure there's no real reason to post, but didn't know if anyone has attempted to withdraw any points via Moneybookers lately. If so, was it successful?

I always cash out my mobpoints through Moneybookers and it was always in a successful way, i have nothing to say about it. This last time, i didn’t do it when i reached my usual limit because there were some moves in the conversion between dólar and euro. I know mobpoints have nothing to do with this, but if the cashout is made in dólars and my moneybookers acount is in euros, i would expect moneybookers to regularly adapt their conversor. Unfortunately, i haven’t got the amount in euros i was expecting to. I thought about changing my acount to dolars so that, when i transfers to my bank acount, i could notice the difference at that point. It should be better to do it, but i still haven’t contacted moneybookers to know if it’s possible to change the currency in which my acount is working.

In order to change your account's currency Fakiry, you will have to close it down and open a new one, with a new phone, and a new email address. Phone isnt a problem, but the new email address is a pain.
I required about it once and thats what they told me. Its a big fuss changing the account from all the sites you are subscribed, so far, and i didnt do it.
@ Fakiry...my MB account is CAD as well as my bank account. Last transfer to my bank account came in CAD funds. When I cashout they do the exchange to CAD at the time of the deposit. You cud open a USD account at your bank and add it to your MB account...just don't know for sure if MB accounts can have multiple currencies? You may have to drop the Euro account. Been thinking about opening a USD account myself....let us kno how this works out for you. Thanks
@ Greenmohave...never have had a problem with transfers in or out...pretty smooth.

That message of yours rbdflyboy was a disaster. I was connected in my hotmail account when i searched the net about the outlook.com and it immediately connected to it. All my mails and connections are there.
The thing is i absolutely hate it. The interface, the colors, the way it works, everything.
And i cant change it back to hotmail no matter how much i try.
Tried erasing history, cache everything. It connects auto to outlook now.
If anyone knows how to change it back to hotmail let me know. Thanks

Well I haven't seen any money in my MB account, but I haven't received any e-mails from here at BRM like I did in the past stating my Mobpoints have been returned to my account due to errors with my Moneybookers account. I will be very greatful if the transfer goes through and if not I guess I'll keep saving my points until I travel to the UK next Spring for a couple of weeks. I'll setup an account or ask my freind Yons to do it so I can possibly collect. By then I might have a few more points saved. lol
@ Mober...I went to PCWorld for more info yesterday...must say was really careful not to click any links to MS. Did all your files transfer? I never liked outlook...think I'm goona be one of the last ones to switch. If it's (outlook) as bad as it was that might just be enough incentive to switch altogether...gmail....yahoo...whatever? Sometimes MS does some pretty dumb s--t!
@ Greenmohave...my transfers in and out usually take 48 hrs. to process...funny though a deposit to a poker account is instant. Am thinking a new account as well might take some time processing. GL Bud.

@rbdflyboy. If you are talking about Outlook Express, it has nothing to do with it. Its like hotmail very simplified and believe me looks like crap. Rough edges, very poor design (try to send a message) and pretty much less functional than hotmail.
But the good news is i found the button to go back to original hotmail.
You can try it for yourself to see how it actually looks like and tell me if you liked it.
When you are in Outlook.com, click on the cog up right corner and select : Switch back to Hotmail. That simple

I know your on a different subject, but I was wondering if Administration could follow-up on the status of my Mobpoints transaction. I know it's only been 3 days, but I was wondering if Administration could tell me if Moneybookers accepted the transaction or if it's sitting in limbo since there's nothing on Moneybookers at this time.
Deeply appreciate just knowing whether or not the possiblity that I might be allowed the opportunity to collect exist.

Thanks for the feedback Macubaas. I know in the past it took about 24 hours for me to receive feedback, but it was always an e-mail stating my Moneybookers account showed and error. The error was actually Moneybookers not allowing U.S. citizens to accept such funds. Again Thanks!
As for 15,000 Mobpoints Mysik86, that's most all my points accumulated since joining BRM over 1 and 1/2 years ago. So that's how I have so many! Plus not being allowed to cashout. Not due to BRM, due to U.S> rules by Moneybookers, Netteller, etc.

We got a little out of subject Green but as i have said in other threads its summer and everything takes longer. My last cash out to moneybookers it was last week and it took a week with weekend included. So wait at least until Friday (which you are in schedule) and then start wondering
