When they add Cris and Pinny--I am so there in a big way.

If you use multiple books you can transfer money between them. Great for scalpers, middlers and line shoppers.

You can send deposits to the offshore bank using any number of methods and make withdrawals using your ATM card. Then you have nothing more to worry about, and the sportsbooks don't have to worry about DOJ.
So how do you send funds to the sportsbooks? My offshore bank doesn't let me do wire transfers unless I visit the bank, which is why Neteller was such a better solution. Login to Neteller hit a couple buttons and in a couple days the funds are in my Neteller account. No traveling to the bank and BS, just hit a button and have the funds debited from my bank account. Until another processor comes up with this simple solution that offshore solution you have won't work.

Is there a reason why this isn't possible with the new processors?

These folks just have to build bonafides--takes a little time. Like I said, if you are on Greek, Cris and/or Pinny web page as an ewallet option.....

They will begin to see Neteller like business.

How do we buy stock in that?

Don't most books do ACH with non-USA banks? I know a couple of the ones I use do.

This is no different than sending your money to a sportsbook via WU or Moneygram.

You send them the moneygram or WU instead and if you want to get paid, they pay you via WU or moneygram.

The days of moving 10 or 20 dimes (or more) in an instant are officially over.

I think we will see intermediaries step in and use the poker sites to transfer money between players and sportsbooks.

It will be no different than using an agent to payoff and collect your sports bets except he will help fund and withdraw money from your sportsbook account.

Questions for moneywindow.net

If I send you a deposit will you re-imburse fees? If not why would I ever send you any money when my sportsbook will happily cover fees

Is This you

http://www.betsage.com/gamblingnews/...tprocessor.htm

http://www.payz.eu/index.php?

For the confused out there, all these people are doing is use the same WU and Moneygram processors all the sports books use and instead of the sportsbook business model, they are the new ghetto Paypal. They have no special banking facilities and offer nothing for the player.

No thanks.

The only place capital flows unrestricted right now is on the poker sites. You can move 50-100k in a few minutes. As long as they encourage the flow of capital, the poker sites will become the breeding ground for this next wave of bastard processing avenues.

Too bad the sportsbooks are too stupid to realize this. It makes sense of course since these poker sites came along and started making more in one month than the top 3 books win in a year.

Are any of them pinnacle, greek, matchbook, or wsex? I have never been given that option on their deposit page but if you have done this before with one of these please let me know so I can see if that is an option.

Very good post NeedProtection, the one thing I will say is to be very careful in using poker sites strictly to move money around. You can get away with it for a bit, but if you have no actual poker playing on the account at stakes in relation to your deposits your account will be frozen and funds are at risk.

Marianna,

If I open a MoneyWindow account, what are my options for transferring funds to it from Canada?

Thank you,

BAUS

Is there a way that somebody in the USA could take advantage of this wallet?

Ouch!! Just picked this up:

Dear Mr. XXXXX,

Please be advised that all e-wallet transaction methods are offered only to non-USA and Canadian citizens. We are aware of Moneywindow.net, however we are not processing e-wallet transactions with them.

Best Regards,
Petrona
The Greek Customer Accounts


I am sure hoping someone at Moneywindow.net can explain that--considering they were touting their association with the Greek!

Omega Disappears and this one comes along? Coincidently the pages look quite simular to the old Omega site which is no longer online (Maybe it was already stated, I jumped a page)

I believe Omega and MoneyWindow started at about the same time really. I'm not sure if their is a connection or not, because I haven't explored that avenue as of yet.

Smells like a scam.

I would trust WebMoney www.wmtransfer.com any time of the day over this since they are actually being used by top-rated books.

I admit it doesn't look good. They aren't defending themselves and the Greek disavowing them. Something is not right with that. Care to clear it up--Moneywindow rep?
