Thanks Viking. I knew I'd seen someone testing my site from the Faroe Islands, but I thought it was a mistake!
We probably won't be able to take Moneybookers for awhile because of our position with Bitcoin. I want to keep our withdrawals immediate. Basically, Bitcoin like a lot of other virtual currencies is one-way and irreversible. Once we pay someone out in Bitcoin, we can't cancel the transaction later. But Moneybookers lets people charge back transactions for something like 30 to 40 days afterwards. I think this is why OKPay has a 40 day hold on MB deposits. So if we took MB, we'd have a problem where people would be able to deposit, then withdraw instantly in Bitcoin, and cancel the MB transaction 30 days later on. The only way to get around it would be if we stopped people who use MB from withdrawing until we'd cleared and verified their MB account, and right now that's too much extra overhead for a small operation like ours.
On top of that, MB's got some weird rules about what happens if the casino's chief executive (me) is a US citizen. Despite the fact that we're closed to the US and won't take players or deposits there, and I have to file US taxes anyway and declare foreign income and bank accounts which is my own responsibility, MB also demands that the casino's main bank account is in the same country as the owner's permanent residence. Which is ridiculous. It's obviously designed to stop money laundering, but it makes zero sense in this case because clearly we can't take MB funds to an American bank. So, effectively Moneybookers bans casinos with any American ownership. And I don't like the idea of taking screwy or questionable ways around that.
Neteller's a little bit of a different story, and it's possible we might get around to hooking up with them one of these days. But I want to keep it all in e-currency first, with no credit cards and no chargeback risks. I like the idea of taking small steps and see what happens when the site starts going beyond Bitcoin, as opposed to diving into the deep end...
I guess it's good that they're pretty careful about verification. That's what I've been reading a lot of. Rockycatt, have you withdrawn from them and did it go quickly?
