Live casinos that use MoneyBookers for deposits and withdrawals

One of the most widely used deposit methods online comes from Moneybookers.com. This is an e-wallet account that can be funded multiple ways and is accepted on most major websites. It allows the user to deposit and withdraw funds to and from online accounts with ease and is completely free to top it all off.

Moneybookers has been around for well over 8 years and is well established in the European marketplace as a preferred method of payment. This is not, however, restricted to just Europe as Moneybookers services the entire world, allowing literally anyone in any country to open and use the account services. While U.S. citizens can open an account, only certain websites will take this as a deposit and withdrawal method for them.

Signing up is a short and simple process that only requires visiting the website and filling out a brief form. Then once the form has been filled out, the account will be activated and it can be funded a number of ways. This can be accomplished either by linking it directly to a bank account that is already in use or by attaching a credit or debit card to it.

The bank accounts are verified by Moneybookers making a small deposit, usually a few cents, to the account in question. When this has been done, an email is sent with a verification link in it. By retrieving the amount and clicking on the link, you will be redirected to the website and prompted to enter the deposit amount.

This is simply to verify that the information for both the account number and routing number to the account are correct. The verification process can take up to 3 to 4 business days in some cases as it depends on how quickly the bank processes electronic transactions. The verified account can then be funded from this method at anytime without having to re-enter the information over and over for each use.

The e-wallet concept allows the user to have one online account to fund multiple websites rather than having to enter the same information at each different website. This helps to keep personal and financial information secure and in one place. All data transmissions done through Moneybookers are encrypted to add another level to the security they provide for their clients.

With so many websites accepting this form of payment, it simply makes sense to have one account that can be trusted rather than spreading a credit or debit card all over the Internet. In this day and age where identity theft is a big issue, especially online, it is nice to know that the account holder’s information is safe and secure. They will never release account information to any website or merchant without express consent from the account holder.

It is rare for this particular e-wallet service to have issues but as with anything, they do happen. Depending on which country the account is funded from, the contact information for support differs slightly. You can contact MoneyBookers via their main website (www.moneybookers.com) or by using one of the following methods:
