Moneybookers .. BEST OF THE BEST but exactly I have not used netteler.;]

It's just a consideration due to some tax issues. Then I could withdraw some money to MB or NE and then send it to a site from which I shouldn't pay taxes when I withdraw with VISA. It's just a consideration and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble for the amount in question

I have both MoneyBookers and Netelle, Neteller i never use cos (imo) it sucks only but troubles. MoneyBookers is perfect, absolutely must for all serieus poker players, fast low fees just perfect for pedling between pokersites ect.
Without hesitating, I'll say Moneybookers... as it's very easy and you'll not have the trouble you'll have at Neteller with usually brakes customers...

I have no VISA card, so can't compare it to the e-wallets. But both Moneybookers and Neteller are good choices. Getting your account up and running at Neteller can be a problem tho.

I don't use credit cards for gaming sites. I investigated both Nutella and Monkeybookers before choosing Monkeybookers as it seemed less hassle to open the account.
My first transaction with Moneybookers was a $30 withdrawal from RummyRoyal. I then tried to deposit the balance on another site and Moneybookers decided that they wouldn't allow me access to the money until I provided photo ID and address verification. I supplied the documents and everything is fine now, but I hate places which accept your money then want ID before they will give it back!
Every site I play on accepts Moneybookers even though I didn't select them for this reason. Several of these sites don't take Neteller so it seems to me that Moneybookers is more widely accepted.
I don't know what the fees are on Neteller, but Moneybookers is free if you're withdrawing from a Poker room and the fee is only 1.5% - with a maximum of £0.50 - if you're depositing. That's pretty good if you ask me.
Dont used Neteller but MB i think its more better.There is no problems with it excluiding some verifications.Its a bit wierd pay with credit card so other money services like a webmoney it is more comfortable.

I've been meaning to get an MB account for a while so I can cashout my mob points. Last time I used them I sent the money to full tilt but I'd rather not do that this time.
I've sort of been waiting for the right time. Hoping there would be a promo or something. There was something a while ago on BRM with a free MB credit card. I've seen promos with poker sites where you get a deposit bonus when you deposit with MB so I guess I just want to make sure I'm getting the best deal.
But I think it's definitely time to get an MB account. Sounds like a good service.

Neteller has very high fees! From neteller to Bank Account €7 fee! But the Neteller MasterCard is pretty nice, you can withdraw money at the ATM up to €750 per day (€4 fee). I'm willing to pay that fee, when it keeps my "business" hidden. I use both, Neteller and Moneybookers. Moneybookers is overall better, but the transfer limits suck! I verified everything and still just 26k per 1/4 year!!?

WTF taxes i see your problem , i live in the uk we have enough taxes here , so i wouldnt be wanting to pay extra when i withdraw my winnings either, what a bummer, no wonder you wanna change,
Startet with bookers and changed then to neteller because of the net+ card.
But since some month bookers offers a atm card, too.
One reason for Neteller is that you can reload your account by UKASH now if you dont like to transfer from your bank. So Neteller is a little more anonymous, they never seen any bankdetails from me.

moneybookers or neteller is almost the same , with moneybookers you have the vip account if you upload to pokersites and or casinosites 5.000 $ in a month , don't know if you have that with neteller , anyway in the past i used neteller but for some time now i am using moneybookers and don't have any regrets on that .
