If your from the United States of America you won't be able to depsoit on moneybookers to any poker/ gambling site. It says it in bold print right after you create a account on their site.

I have opened a moneybookers account and have included my bank account with it. I plan on having my money whenever that may be, put into my bank account. Then I can just use my debit card to buy a prepaid visa here in the US. As far as withdrawls go from poker sites just request a check.

thats a great alternative jack, nicely thought out, but make sure when u buy a prepaid visa, it doesnt say "for USA only" if it does it will not let you deposit, look for the VISA ALL ACCESS CARD, ive used that before and it worked. I like your plan but way to long and to much work for me!!! hah

Jack the prepaid visa cards I buy are
Simon gift cards These work best for me you can order one online at simon.com
or you can get a giftaccount which is just a virtual card, that you can use for online purposes.

Thanks Golden. I didnt know of any that I could buy online while sitting at home. I always have to go to the grocery store, I have been buying all access visa cards for over a year now. Does Full Tilt and Poker Stars both accept Simon cards?
------------ Hey Goldenstud, I just logged onto simon.com and it is a property management site. I am interested in the prepaid site. Could you check on what the site is called?

Yea I had bought many prepaid cards that wwouldnt work for online gambling, before I stumbled upon the all access visa card I havent had any problems with it. But if i could use that simon account , without leaving the house. I might use it if i feel like playing late at night.

Posted by Goldenstud92: -MoneyBookers doesnt allow gambling transactions, which means cant cashout your mobpoints to be put into your moneybookers account if you want to use that money for gambling purposes.
I'm not sure about this one, as I was able to cashout from Ladbrokes to my moneybookers account as well as mobpoints. however, i still haven't tried to deposit with my moneybookers. will let you know when I do however, I really think that you can use MB for this purpose.

Just log onto moneybookers.com. The rest is self explanitory just follow the directions. I did have to verify my checking account and debit card for deposits, and they are sending me a snail mail letter to varify my address.
Go here and buy a gift account I use these on FTP they go right through. You dont have to put the money on anything else. Hope this works good for you.
Im also just wondering if support is going to help out the US people here.

Hey Goldenstud. I was just about to go to the simon site and get one of those cards and I thought I would try to use my bank debit card at ultimate bet before i did . It went through what a surprise. But next time I deposit on FT ill use that simon.

Yea i have tried my card on other sites before and no luck. It seems that UB is the only one that will accept it. Aposolut Poker does too, I call them and then they do it manually, but not real big on that site.
