Had my credit card been verified, for some reason they would have just charged me the $2.91 withdrawal fee to it, and this would have verified my banking info in some manner? My prepaid is not even the same bank as my bank account.
There total unwillingness to verify my credit card without a paper statement is ludicrous. And TitaniumPlus Mastercard has not been able to get their cooperation either, since I am not the only customer to use Moneybookers as well, and they have tried. They can't tell me how much the GBP transfer amount was, and Moneybookers will not accept the canadian dollar figure. Mind you, their charge went through on my card. Although they did refund it to my Moneybookers I lost almost $2 in the process too, due to currency conversion fees.
But their charge of $2.91 for a wire transfer is modest, so I will keep using them.

This just proves their arrogance. Moneybookers feel they have the RIGHT to dictate to TitaniumPlus Mastercard how they should operate their business. Worse, you then have two COMPANIES unable to sort their differences out, so it is up to the CUSTOMER to take the hit.
Moneybookers KNOW they can do what they like due to the lack of competition since Neteller pulled out of Canada altogether, and Click2Pay started imposing these $1500 minimum withdrawals (among a number of pretty dodgy looking practices).
If Moneybookers faced a rival, that began to poach customers, they would try to find out why, and would be forced to adapt or die.
Neteller found they had a rather unenthusiastic rersponse to their new Net+ card, and have started to change things that customers told them were putting them off. They do, of course, face VERY stiff competition, from "regular" debit cards, and "regular" credit cards. They even tried trickery by increasing withdrawal fees to bank accounts from £1 to £5 in order to "persuade" customers to use Net+
We are luckier than most in the UK, even PAYPAL now allow gambling transactions for certain casinos and certain customers. There are so many other methods to deposit, and the only drawback is with casinos being a bit "awkward" with a few of these when it comes to making a withdrawal.
