First of all, thank you for everyone who read my last article and took the effort to respond to it, both positive and negative.

Recently I researched the costs of both Moneybookers and Neteller and I compared both in this review:

Moneybookers vs Neteller

Unfortunately this review will not be helpful for U.S. citizens, since they cannot use these online banks

Moneybookers charge me 1.75 GBP to withdraw to my bank but they refund the withdrawal fee after a few days costing me 0. Pokerstars deposits/withdrawals are made using $ -> GBP exchange rates given by pokerstars so i dont get charged by moneybookers on the withdrawal or deposit. Neteller on the other hand... lol

if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN

Is that specifically for Britsh customers or does Moneybookers make this possible for loyal customers?

Maybe. I have 'pro gambler VIP status' or something so that might have something to do with it.

I got this email a few days ago:

Dear ............

I’ve recently joined Moneybookers as Head of VIP and as a welcome present I’m delighted to offer you:

1% cash back on ALL funds you upload AND send to gaming websites.

NO limits, NO excluded websites, NO thresholds!

For example: Upload €10,000, send it to a gaming website and you earn €100 – simple and rewarding.

And a month or two ago:

No More Fees for Withdrawals

As a special gift for our VIPs, we will waive all of your withdrawal fees from now on. Although your account will be charged a fee upon requesting a withdrawal, we will automatically refund all fees at the end of each month.
