Which is best for poker site and why? primarily on the paramerts: ease of use & charges and acceptability in the poker rooms

I see skrill is blocked in canada.

If you prefer something else do let me know.

I will probably put together a review of all the options and may be we can sticky it for future use :p

Skrill is good to me, it's simple and fast payment. I used Skrill at pokerstars and absolutely love it.
I haven't used neteller yet because I'm lazy to remember so many numbers LoL but anyway I think Neteller is more secure than other payments.

Moneybooker (Skrill) is the best one. It's simple and fast as vnonline said.
I think if you use Skrill with Pokerstars you'll get free tournaments tickets. :)

Skrill is very easy to use but their verification process is very long for me as to verify my address they send a verification code through post which took more than 15 days in my case. But once your account is fully verified, skrill is very useful. Neteller is also a good ewallet and for verification you have to upload your documents but even after verified account neteller sometimes block account and then you have to call customer service to reactivate your account. I also use entropay in india as it is very easy to use here but their fees are very high.

I am Canadian and I used to use Netteller but as Arjonius said they no longer serve Canada for poker deposits and witdrawls. I currently use instadebit which is similar to Netteller. Very good service for both deposits and withdrawls.
For deposits it is within 1 minute before the funds are in your poker stars account and with withdrawls the funds are back in your account within a day or so.
There is a small charge for cash withdrawls but you can just hold your money in your Instadebit account in any currency. I keep my money there in US funds so there is no currency exchange for moving it back and forth to different poker sites that use it.

Im quite happy with neteller, just have a problems with exchange rate on rooms using $ as primary curency (I have neteller account in euro).
You can have multiple currency account at neteller, but its only available if you pay 50000$ to site in calendar year.

Also only use Skrill, it is generally OK but customer support answers 0.0% of emails sent to them. Zero replies in almost 10 years of use is pretty bad.

Using neteller is very easy, i have the net+ card that allaw me to take my money directly from any ATM and purchase from any shop that use mastercard...
But neteller has a very big charge for withdrawing from ATM : 4 euro per transaction so i use always my winnings on poker by buying clothes etc....

I must admit to using only Netteller, but they have excellant Customer Service and are very quick to both cash in and out. As has been said they also do tournaments on PS when you deposit with a Skrill card/ account. These are few and far between though.

Good luck with whatever you use. :D :D :D

I have never used neteller thou i have the account, i have deposited to pokersites from skrill and withdraw to it anf it takes few hours at most to get my money to skrill and i also use skrill card and withdraw on atm, fee is really small... Neteller is pretty much the same, maybe some countries arent supported by one or another and fees are different so pick one with lower fee if both are available in your country, by available i mean do they issue the debit card, not all countries are suported...

Hope you don't mind if I ask this here....

Will Carbon be able to send me money via Skrill even though I've not yet linked any bank account or credit/debit card to the Skrill account ?

If you have already deposit there using skrill you will be able to withdraw your winnings using that deposit option. Either you have to linke your skrill account to your bank account if you want to receive your money from skrill.

I have both and until recently never used my skrill account. Now I use skrill and have found it quicker than Neteller, which for me and you I expect is better. The answer is which one will easily accept your transfer of £100,000 when you hit it big!! - GL with that.............. :D :D :D

Both are equally good for me, and about that im pretty sure they would both accept that "much" of money. Since they are receiving a money from your poker room, then even cutting a little provision (which is unnoticable) for their profit. So they have no business to scamming anyone, also they are cooperating with way too many poker rooms and sportsbooks to ruin their liability.
