That's pretty cool! NETeller certainly has simplified a lot of things for the players when it comes to deposits, withdrawals, and payouts of amounts up to $2500. And for a new service, they've operated very smoothly.

Hopefully now NETeller will also be more in tune with Bettorsworld posters' suggestions about their service, such as the posting of the various fees that some sportsbooks charge the player for transfers.

Speaking of suggestions, I just saw that PayPal has added a bank card option. This is basically a VISA/MC debit card that draws directly from one's PayPal account. This is something that NETeller should definitely pursue - it would be a hit with many players.

[sportshobby]

While we're on a roll, . . .

Whenever a player requests funds from his sportsbook that are not available (i.e. sportsbook doesn't have enough positive balance at NETeller), there should be some sort of automatic message sent to tell the sportsbook that a request was denied.

I've called sportsbooks on several occasions to tell them this, and they seem surprised. There's apparently no notification.

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is David Kahane and I am a NETeller.com representative that can answer questions that come up in this forum.

We are very happy to be a Bettorsworld sponsor and look forward to participating in the ongoing discussions

Sportshobby, thank you for your excellent suggestions.

We are investigating integrating the debit card option into our service and hope to be able to offer this feature in the near future

The notification suggestion is a terrific one and I think we can adopt it immediately

Hi David - Welcome aboard...

Quick question perked by the fact your profile says you're based in Canada.

Why the gouging on the exchange rated for the Canadian customers? I put some money into my account from my credit card and my eyes popped out when I saw the rate: 1.61 when every other same institution was in the 1.54-1.56 at the time of my transaction.

May all your bets be winners

Thank you for your question
FX rates on credit card transactions are set by the credit card issuer. If you make a US$100 credit card deposit to your NETeller account we receive US$100, with your issuer setting the rate at which the currency conversion occurs at.
One suggestion would be to make a deposit directly to our HSBC USD account (please email me at davidk@neteller.com for details). You will then only be charged the current bank rate for the conversion.

@Mr. Kahane
(you probably know that Kahane is a very well known name in my country - one of the richest families - any connections with them ?).

What would you recommend a guy from Europe, who wants to open a Neteller account without using a credit-card ?
Is it possible (I have checked your site, but I still donīt know if itīs possible) ?
Should I open an USD account in my country and transfer USD or can I transfer EUROīs ?

Iīve read in European betting forums that a lot of people want to use your service, but donīt know how to do !
Any advice ?

what kind of protection is in place for the depositors? how can we feel safe sending our money to a 3rd party. trusting the sportsbooks is hard enough!

[BERT]

@egg nog
good question.
If I open with them I will avoid having a big amount of money with them, but according to transfers... they seem to be nearly perfect.

I personally think itīs very safe to have money at "special" sportsbook and that would be my "strategy" (not to have big amounts at Neteller, but to have it divided between some secure sportsbooks).
But you are absolut correct, who knows how reliable they are (although I think you can trust them)

If I have any rich relatives, they haven’t made themselves known to me yet
My family are all working stiffs

To answer your question, the best way to transfer funds to us from Europe is via a bank wire. Please email me at davidk@neteller.com if you need instructions for this

If you simply wish to use your NETeller account to withdraw funds from one merchant and deposit with another, there are no geographic restrictions (other than restricted countries listed in our terms of use)

Your question is an excellent one. Client funds are kept on account in Canadian bank accounts that are CDIC insured. Beyond this, your protection is our reputation in the industry which I hope speaks for itself.

David,
Does neteller accept debit cards with a visa/MC logo?

BW Forum Posters,
Has anyone used this service? How does it compare to paypal?

It seems like a great way to post funds and to recieve funds. Is there a catch?

Yes sir, we take debit cards with a Visa/MC logo. These can be used at the "credit card" section of the deposit tab in your NETeller account.

[Rookie]

Thank you

I will be signing up.

I have been using this service for about 4 months and it has been great. Easiest way I have found to transfer funds.
