Filthy lucre

    Default Filthy lucre

    Does anyone know of a reasonably efficient method for non-U.S. peeps to withdraw funds from poker sites and use them for the purchasing of things wot we want?

    Neteller is hardly widely accepted outside of the gaming industry and withdrawing USD to my bank account will result in a currency conversion both here and when I try to buy something at, say, Amazon.

    What about ePassporte is that something to look at? What are the costs like?
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    If you have money at Stars that been won (as opposed to deposited via NT or credit card), they can send you a cheque in a bunch of different currencies. Not sure if SEK is one of them but it might be.

    Ok. I was obviously unclear.

    I have US$ on poker sites.
    I have a US$ Neteller account.
    I want to buy stuff on, say, Amazon in $.

    The only way I seem to be able to do this is withdraw to my Swedish bank account (lose out in the currency conversion) and then buy on my Visa (lose out again).

    I'd like to buy stuff with my poker $. What's the best way?

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Bump.

    From what I understand the new neteller card that was supposed to be out in may will work like a pre-paid visa, meaning you can buy stuff online with it.

    Are there other ways to purchase stuff online with poker winnings without having to withdraw to my bank account? (Or: I too wonder about what the OP says. )
