Why dont you just open an account with Party Poker and then you get your points. It doesnt take long to open an account and some of the bonuses being offered make it worthwhile to do so. I hope you resolve your problem soon

Glad to hear you have an option on the table now Demo.
By the it would probably be use to check with Instadebit Cust. Support first to make sure they still allow transactions to gaming sites. They are after all a Canadian payment processor and may therefore have to abide by the same rules as Skrill.
If you do, please let us know what you come up with.

Good luck.
I phoned Instadebit last night.... They are good to go...!
Buddy said they can operate because of a legal loophole that allows them to shift money back to Canadians....

Oh yes! That's fantastic news for all Canadians. I wan't to call them now and ask them about how the loop hole works. I love a good legal loop hole.
Double plus, if Instadebit becomes the only real means for Canadian's to deposit to sites then more sites will likely start taking Instadebit to get the Canadian market. No more transaction fees for us, boo yeah!

He said to me that the loophole works like this....
...because Instadebit is NOT a gaming website, but rather something more like PayPal, banks will transact with them. As you know banks in Canada will NOT interact with gambling sites of ANY sort...
Skrill is considered to be affiliated with or a subsidiary of gambling company or website(s)...
...and oddly enough...BankrollMob.com is ALSO considered to be a gaming website although NO gambling takes place here... I'm only guessing THAT is so because BrM.com 'promotes' gambling.
As far as fees go....They charge only $2 per transaction, no matter how large or small the amount!
Last December when I transferred $314CDN ($296USD) back here to my bank via Skrill,...somewhere along the route I got GOUGED $36CDN total for the wire and conversion fees...
The Canadian dollar has lost .12c against the US dollar since then. It was about $1.02 then,...now about .90c
Ripped RIGHT off...
...I wish I knew better then about Instadebit. crash or rfdflyboy mentioned Instadebit, but it didn't register...

Oh does Instadebit charge now? Used to be free for the users and only the pokers sites paid for the service, that's why it was always my first choice, also why I figured most sites didn't accept it lol.
$2 is pretty good rate anyhow for sure.
I got 25mBtC, so the recent price drop is unfortunate Only like 5-10 lost though for me. I have a fried with 6BtC, he is not happy right now.

Fees for Instadebit:
-from bank to merchant $1
-from merchant to bank $2
-Conversion fee: 2.75%
(merchant meaning: a pokersite or whatever business that accepts Instadebit)
You can cashout from a pokersite TO Insta and keep funds there for deposit to any site for free, but you can't deposit to Insta from bank. That is only a one way trip from your bank to Insta to merchant in one transaction.
Once your money is in a pokersite you can put it back to Insta (like an eWallet),...or directly to your bank,...but NOT from your bank to Insta.

They have big fees. For sure it is not a system for back and forth transactions, if you are not moving big amounts each time. you will need to let them pile up, or it will be gone in fees But everyone has increased fees lately. Even Moneybookers. They had 2,5$ fee cashing out to credit card, now it is 4$.

Well with Instadebit Mober,...the ONLY time fees are incurred is when your bank is invloved...
..the GOOD thing is that you can transfer to Insta from poker sites, leave it THERE, and use it like an eWallet (No fees)...to deposit to other gaming sites or any other merchant that accepts Instadebit.
...and like you say,...you can fill up your Instadebit acct with cash and then transfer it back to your bank (for $2) when you have a sizable amount if you choose...
It's looking like Insta may be the choice to use for us North Americans...

Ha, ha, yeah good call. That's why I thought they were fee less. The money I have there grew from a NDP. I just move it around to poker sites for kickback offers and haven't paid any fees yet $2 ain't bad to withdraw when I'm happy with the amount.
cause i heard bad 
Only like 5-10 lost though for me. I have a fried with 6BtC, he is not happy right now.
