Neteller withdrawals for European players

[smudgex68]

I was hoping some European players could suggest the best withdrawal method from Neteller. Is cheque best (or only solution)? If so, are they fedexed to any European country - is there any problem cashing dollar cheques. Is there any way for electronic transfers for European players? Thanks

You can get a Sterling check sent by Poker Stars, that is how I cash out. Otherwise it is all bloody USD cheques which cost a fortune to deposit.

(my Icelandic bank said it would cost $75 to deposit a USD cheque! I thought a tenner was bad...)

Anyway those stupid americans have let their currency get so weak that it is hardly even worth cashing out!

You can also get EURO cheques sent which are probably more useful in Italy, as I don't think we'll be claiming back the Roman Empire anytime soon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

You need to change you base currency to EURO and then request a cheque as normal.

You can also request a Neteller debit card which is can be used at ATMs worldwide. I know a couple of posters here use it, but there are too many fees and restrictions for my liking.

Do you have to request this option from Stars customer services? When I cashed out there I didn't get offered any options, it automatically reversed the previous Neteller deposits I'd made (I didn't cash out the full deposited amount as I was just moving funds around for bonuses).

Presumably this policy is in order to prevent me using Neteller to deposit, say, Party winnings into Stars in order to get a Sterling cheque. However, other UK players have also suggested this is how they get their winnings paid so I'm intrigued as to whether there's a way around this.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I assume it is relatively straighfroward changing the base currency on Neteller.
Thanks again

i think neteller debit card is the best option. i got mine today =)
There are some fees and i think they are about $4 for a $1000 cash-out (at an POS-terminal or ATM-machine).
If you dont use the card it 30 days they take a fee of $2, and so on until you reatch 0 ( from your debit card, not the neteller account..)
earlier it whas possible for international users to "depostit" the cash back to neteller from the debit card, but thats not working right now..... neteller dont know when it´s going to work again.....

If you dont whant to use neteller debit card, maybe you can deposit to multipoker and then to your bankaccount (they recently got that payment option), dont know if it work whit italian bankaccounts, but whit swedish it´s free of charge..
