Be honest, I can take it. (With minimal tears and whining, I swear.)

I'm new to all of this, have made a few decent playthroughs, and am wondering if there's any chance I'm going to see any money coming back to me.

Now, I'm not talking about gambling in general, but the payments themselves - how much of a gamble is it to get my $$$? I don't have a quicktender account yet (supposedly will be getting an invite soon), but have echeck (the us one, just in case this is like another forum where mentioning their full name is forbidden) account set up, with the atm card here, but not activated yet - those $5 a month fees are ridiculous.

So, say I have a small payout from FortuneReel pending (it's been moved to processing, supposedly set to be released on 3-29). If it actually goes through to echeck, how hard is it to transfer to my bank account (BOA acct)? Should I consider the ridiculous fees that go w/the card in order to get cash? It all sounds easy enough, but you don't hear anyone talking about how great the service is, yk?

And on another topic, if M'bookers isn't a US service, why was I able to sign up, verify my accounts, etc? Will they or won't they allow payments in/out?

OK, and finally... Say I made a playthrough that sounds too good to be true (35, 40x, $140 max cashout). Then, stupidly, I deposited on top of it... with a visa & Pantasia doesn't offer alternate withdrawal methods for Visa deposits. So the customer service rep (who I seem to get everytime I have a question with any casino!) said I need to do an echeck deposit (yay) to withdraw - so $140+25visa+25echeck = $190 payout.

Oops, not finally - this should be the last question... Is QT worth it? What's their advantage?

Thanks for sticking with me through all of that!

I'll give you my perspective on payouts etc. First and foremost, only play at casinos that are either accredited here or that don't have major issues. Do your homework! If nothing else, run a google search for complaints for a particular casino. If you play at only good casinos, then you will get paid and if you have problems with them, you can get help here. Be careful of the Rivals you play at. Slotocash, Box 24, Spartan and Black Diamond (my experience only) are great. The rest, not so much.

I only use QT for withdrawals and deposits. That way I don't have problems with anything. If I was going to use ECheck, I would probably get an ATM card with them. Then it's nobody's business where the money came from. BOA is pretty snoopy so be prepared to answer questions as to what you're spending the money on or where it came from.

The rule about withdrawing back to the way you deposited is pretty much standard however, most casinos know that being in the US if you deposit by cc that you can't withdraw back to it and will work with you on it, if they are reputable casinos.

Hope this helps.

I have had no problems with QT..So I would try and get a invite to open a account..
I had one casino where I deposited with cc and my winnings were sent Western Union. I don't know if most casinos offer that, but it is one way the banks will not involved..

I also got a invite from moneybookers and mypaylinq..Got everything set up and approved, then my deposit got denied (from my bank)..so again, QT seems to be the easiest.

Of course the first thing you have to find is a casino that is loose enough that you can request a payout..Good luck, because they have been horribly tight for me lately...

 

[anniemac]

I forgot to mention that US can use Moneybookers just not for gambling.

Thanks so much for the help, it's much appreciated! I've got my QT account open now, so here's hoping I actually get to withdraw to it someday.

You can also use eCheckUS

Another FYI, look into getting a Netspend card for you to use depositing at a casino. It is sometimes a pain in the butt, depending where you live in Texas but it will keep BOA from seeing anything about funding casinos and will keep your family checking account from being closed if BOA gets nosy. Can order them online or Ace Cash. Can fund at Ace or any place that does Western Union for $3.95 or $4.95 per load.

Drawback, can't withdraw to it because they don't accept wires, only ACH deposits.

More great information, thanks again! I'm off to get a Netspend account now. Honestly getting my account closed never even occurred to me - thank goodness for a great forum!

 

[jod5413]

Last I read, Netspend did not work for gambling any more? And they worked so well, with smaller fees than a lot of other options.

Are they truly usable for casinos? Or only good for folks out of the Usa?

Is BOA iffy about deposits into QT?

ETA: Should I consider a prepaid debit card to fund QT, I guess is what I'm asking.

 

[anniemac]

Jod,

My Netspend card has never not worked. That's all I ever use. They've never questioned or refused a transaction. I deposit via NS to QT. Then withdraw to QT and into bank account. Money laundering at it best.

Labeled,

You never know when a big bank will question or refuse a transaction that is why alot of folks use NS cards or have a separate bank account for depositing. Last thing you want is for your real bank account to be frozen because of suspect transactions.

 

[Glunn11]

There's a lot of good information here.

One thing, with Moneybookers though. I attempted to use it to get payments from a client of mine, but being in the US we cannot receive direct payments through Moneybookers, or fill our accounts, or anything. The only thing Moneybookers US can be used for is for eBay merchants.

 

[all4greed]

Regarding ECheck, the one place I looked at wanted my SS number. Are people comfortable giving out that information?

Using American Express

On the (somewhat) same vein, has anybody done transactions through (to & payout from) online casinos that take American Excess? Just wondering if this is also a viable and easy option.....

So sad! , but be an optimistic, experience is the best teacher. Just be careful next time and not all the people around, specially in casino is out on his/her mind. Be Patience!

 

[felicie]

Echeck gives an ATM card? and what the heck is American Excess or do ya mean Express?

I think we can't mingle in the forum if we don't know the topic, but I love to post in a forum even if I don't know what the topic is all about. , I love you guys! Peace. Let's just understand each other and respect each others' outlook in life. :notworthy

Hiya: When i was in Las vegas, i used BOA for over 10 years. I deposited into them from many different casino's, and e wallets. I never had any issues at all.

That being said, it was before IGEA went into full enforcement. It was also in Las Vegas, and not some small town in Idaho. You can open a business acct, "using a fictisis firm name", ie, "you just make one up", and use this to deposit into. If anyone at the Bank ever ask, it is an on line business, and you get checks, deposits, money orders, ect. from all over the world.
