How long does it normally take for anyone that already did a withdrawal via MoneyBookers?

Thanks

I got a check from cake last week (thursday) for $9,000...minus $35 fee so actually $8,965

edited to add: everyone is going CRAZY about cake....JUST USE CHECK OPTION! Verify your id and make the attachment a jpeg (they can't open .tif) and it's super simple guys

Yeah but it sucks if you're a micro donk like me who wants to withdraw a few hundred and $35 gets taken out of it.

How long did the check take to reach you? Was it stqandard mail or DHL?

DHL

they JUST got a new processor...so should take 2-3 weeks from now on (it comes from canuck land)

nvm

I'm pretty sure the max is $2500 like I said earlier...this other guy said no its $9000 but I don't think so.

I have a cashout pending, want to see how long it takes to receive.

Good to know it is only taking 2-3 weeks for a check to arrive from Cake. However, their $35 fee is excessive compared to other sites and puts them at a competitive disadvantage. Adding usemywallet as an option is a complete joke since they charge $30 for a check or bank deposit and as far as I know, no other big site uses them.

Cake needs to reduce their fee and/or give one free check withdrawal a month to keep their U.S. players happy.

How come you guys can use this "UseMyWallet" ? I can't figure out how to sign up for this or QuickTender and Cake Support is keeping this secret from me for reasons I have yet to discern....thxs 4 any help!?!?

usemywallet and quicktender are the same thing - you need an invite from a site to get an account. Its not a bad option to move money between the few sites that use it but cashing out of it is expensive.

recent email from cake regarding checks;

Thank you for your email. I’m afraid with players being unable to cashout to ePassporte we have had an unprecedented request from players to cashout via check. Due to the additional pressure placed on our US facing check Check processor I’m afraid we’ve had to limit cashouts to $2,500 per player for the time being. This $2,500 limit should be lifted shortly as we introduce new cashout methods for US players, and we thank you for your patience at this time.

So it looks like it is definitely at $2500 for the time being. The question is how long it will take to receive them now.

anyone know the max withdrawal at a time from usemywallet?

Response to my email concerning check turn-around times fwiw.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for your email. We don't except any change from the normal 10-15 business days timeframe.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind Regards,

my usemywallet cashout hit my bank today and there was no additional fee taken out by bank - only the $30 taken by UMW

All told took about 7 business days

nm they did take out $10 so it cost me $40 overall bleh

Told them I was cool, and asked for usemywallet invite!

Yeah I'm wondering about MoneyBookers. I'm a US player. Can I sign up with MoneyBookers and use that to cashout? From what I could gather on their website, Americans cannot load money to MoneyBookers, but we can withdraw. Can anyone confirm this?

Or give more bonuses on deposits. That would soften the $30 usemywallet withdrawal fee...

But one free check a month would be very fair, IMO.

qft
being its the only legit option o ne a month for free is more than reasonable

No, you can't do this because Cake requires you to make a deposit using that method before you can withdraw to it. Most sites do this and are pretty strict about it.

It only cost you $40 to cash out from UMW? I just got a wire from them (Quicktender) and it cost me $50 total. The $30 flat fee, $10 wire fee from my bank and another $10 mystery fee from the "correspondent bank". I wrote to them many times and still have not got to the bottom of where the missing $10 went. They just play dumb. The amount i recieved was not the amount they sent. I know its only $10 but it was a hidden charge that i wasnt aware of. I think this is the same company as Ecocard just under a different name. I'm not dealing with them anymore, too shady. Jip-artists.

From the QuickTender website...
Fee Schedule for QuickTender Account Holders:
# Service Fees *
1. Registration Fee Free
2. Credit Card Deposits 5%
3. Withdrawals to Bank Account or Check via regular mail $30 flat fee***
4. International bank wire deposits Free **
5. Payment to an online merchant Free
* All fees are subtracted in US Dollars; Fee Schedule for any QuickTender account denominated in another currency is calculated in accordance with the current date exchange rate.
** Subject to any fees and charges as imposed by any third-party being an intermediary between QuickTender Account Holder and QuickTender Payment System
*** Subject to correspondent bank fees and charges for international transfers

...I think QuickTender is OK as long as your withdrawals are large enough to make the $30-$50 fee less important. I think the $10 hidden fee you mention really is some 3rd party fee that gets charged to you on the way from them to your bank. Probably another bank. They probably have to go through some kind of processor beyond themselves to make the transactions possible with minimum chance of being tracked down by the Feds. I think the same thing happened to me with a withdrawal from another company, not QuickTender. I withdrew to my bank account, the company used wire transfer as the method, then I saw that what I received was about $10 less than what I withdrew, and my bank charged a fee as well. Oh well, some day there will be a Neteller-like service for us and we'll all be happy again.

There is no posted maximum. That's why imo, QuickTender is going to end up being the method of choice in the post-ePassporte era. I don't know enough about the company to say for sure, but I think they're on the right track, $30 fee to cashout, no max or very large max. ePassporte's maximums were puny and the idea of having to go down to the ATM machine to physically take out some limited amount of money over and over again, or make many ACH cashouts to get your large amounts out was a big hassle.

so with usmywallet can you cashout 30k at once and only be charged $40???

ok so how do we go about obtaining invites to usemywallet and why the **** do we need invites in the first place.

It kind of pisses me off that we all play on the same site yet cake won't let everyone use this.
