Hey guys,....I searched through my old threads but I can't find where I think someone posted an answer to my question.
Somebody was saying that one of the above mentioned cards had NO fees for withdrawing from, or depositing to poker sites.
I need to get a card that I can do that with,...AND it must be a card that BankrollMob will deposit any cash winnings to. I'm still quite far from my 5,000 Mob Points cashout,....but I want to get ONE of these cards that is compatible with both BankrollMob and various poker sites,...AND that doesn't charge fees.
Also,.... I see there's a sponsored link to NETELLER,...but are any of the others sponsored, linked, or accessible through here...?.....AND,...in order to cash out from the 5000 mob points thing,...you need to have gotten points or whatever from various sources OTHER than just posting. Would doing things through here count towards that?

There is no such thing as Skrillex. Its Skrill- Moneybookers. The same thing. They renamed it to Skrill. And for the fees they all charge for both deposit and cash out through credit card.

Skrillex..... lol....
Ya know what.....? I think I'm getting some alien space villains from some TV show mixed up with Moneybookers.... Although.......evil space aliens and financial institutions may be considered one in the same... hehe
One of our English friends could verify this,......maybe who I'm thinking of are bad guy space creatures from the Dr. Who.... yes/no.... lol...
Is there a link to Skrill through BrM here...?
How much do they charge in fees? Is it a flat rate per increments,...or a percentage...?

One thing to pay attention to, is what currency you open your account with, since they do not allow it to be changed once you've used your account.
Make sure you never let Skrill do the currency conversion for you, since they charge an extortionate rate for that. If you do need to convert between currencies, you're better off letting your bank, or even the poker site do it for you...
use moneybookers and the only time fees are charged to my account is when transferring to my bank. The fee is less than $2.50 on a $50.00 transfer to my bank account. The bank charges nothing. Hope this helps. BTW have a Netteller account as well...never used it. Had it before coming here.

The fees you pay about in and out money arent that much. The ones that can get you down is the currency conversion. At some point one way or another you will need to do transaction with currency and yo will see that they hit you hard there. Some sites use EURO as main so best thing is to have one in Euro and the other one in USD. But then again you are in Canada

Thanks Guys!!!
I opened one up in US Dollars being that the VAST majority of PS's tourneys are in US dollars and MOST folks have US dollar accounts. So I'm just sitting back waiting for an opportunity to put it to use....
Grahamy said something about them giving you a free $10.
Do you get that as soon as you use the account? I didn't see anything on the site about a free $10...
That promo must be done now. There's a 4x points cashback rewards promo until May 7, must sign up for that one...click the promo tab.

Back 10-15 yrs ago when the USD/CDN exchange rate was 30%-35% using USD was expensive. Nowadays the rates fluctuate around +/- 2% so the difference is almost negligible. Most of my contracts were paid in USD except for one where payment was in British Pounds...that was a good one! Worked out of Greece, thinking back, in '01 maybe '02. Greece was on Fire...we were based out of Tenagra...freaked out the base Commander cause my hair at the time was down to my butt...lol Spent six weeks in Greece..was as hot as Africa and most of the guys were dropping like flies because of the heat...47C at 10:00 a.m. and the tarmac well over 50.

I made my skrill account ages ago and this 10 dollars promotion wasn't there lol...
OP, great idea to make your account on US dollars! This way you'll only get charge wheb you cashout money to your bank account, other than that all transactions between poker sites are free
