Neteller updates their policy

[melioris]

Last night I opened a firepay account. I am not trying to whore for them, as they charge $3.99 for each deposit (from a validated account). But they have free withdrawals.

So when the money flows

(bank account -> firepay ->poker site) costs you $3.99 but

(poker site -> firepay -> bank account) is free.

I didn't read the fine print carefully, but they might be an expensive, but legit competitor for neteller.

edit to add. I will check, but I think

(pokersite -> firepay -> poker site) is free as well.

Wil just posted something on CardSquad that Firepay has now changed that 'FREE' part to "$10". Check out Wil's post on CS for details...

I actually used FirePay long before I ever used Neteller. Neteller is/was superior, but who knows any more with as fast as things have been changing.

Neteller needs to be smart and realize the huge opportunity they have here if they don't get stupid.

yeah, RR is . Fuck Firepay

OK, I just shot Neteller an email... I'll let you all know what they say when they get back to me.

There is no reason for me to use them after this. I really hope most people dump them for this. Not even an email to inform their clients that they are now going to fuck them. Brilliant

Are you sure this is all the time. I tried to make a withdrawal some time ago and also had the $10 fee placed on my withdrawal (which I didnt make). When I questioned them about it, they said that they charge $10 if you havent funded your account in some time. Thankfully I had only been making withdrawals
After I switched some money around (firepay->party->igmpay->checking->firepay) the $10 withdrawal fee was lifted. Alot of trouble to avoid a $10 fee, but what can I say, I am a cheap bastard!

Maybe this has changed but this may be why you are both seeing this $10 withdrawal fee.

Doesn't that right there settle the argument.

Fair warning:

I have read numerous posts on 2+2 from people who have had their Firepay account frozen and funds confiscated for no apparent reason at all. This was not due to the new law, but has gone on in the past pretty frequently. These were respected posters, not 3-posts adolescents who did things to bring it on themselves.

There has been cases with some substantial amounts of cash taken away with no communication, including them ignoring emails and not working with people to straighten things out. Be careful.

Whoa.... how come you never relayed this info to us before??? JERK!

Kidding - better late than never.

I was too busy making fun of people.
