Credit card

[Wakke]

I have already Moneybookers (for Euros) and Neteller (for Dollars) but I need some other E-wallet or credit card for Pounds. Conversion costs 1,75% (MB) and 1,80% (Neteller) are so big.

I don't have credit card yet and I have been thinking how conversion friendly credit card is? Any experience?

Credit cards are pretty conversion friendy.

I have always had ewallets in $ only. I´d estimate that the amount I have paid in conversion fees is in 4 figs easily.

Is credit card better option than MB or Neteller?

Btw. IMO Click2pay doesn't have conversion fees but withdrawal is the biggest problem. And only couple of casinos have that payment method.

No it is not better option because of huge delays in withdrawals, need of providing documents to every place etc. Use ewallets always when possible.

What do you mean with "huge delays"? Ive always got my withdrawals in ~5days or under, like grosvenor, skybet, gala etc.

I dont see providing documents is a problem really as you have to do that quite often with NE/MB withdrawals also.

Usually delay is longer.

Also, I´d say that you don´t have to provide documents to 80% of the casinos when using ewallets, but using CC one has to provide them every time in my experience.

It's not possible to say which is better. They all have their strong points, and an active bonusbagger should utilize all three.

I personally have Neteller in USD, Moneybookers in EUR and a Visa & Mastercard for everything else (most commonly £). I have the Finnair-cards from Nordea and Sampo, so every euro I pay with them also gives me airmiles You can't withdraw to MC, so that's also an interesting feature that can be utilized in some situations. Credit cards are also pretty handy if you have spread your bankroll too widely, and a good opportunity arises with no time to wait for withdrawals to your e-wallets.

Of course, credit cards are also a fast way to doom if your bankroll management sucks.

Anyone have the exact commission rates for Visa cards? Didn't really find anything with fast look at visa site, only the commissions they charge for withdrawing cash in foreign countries. I'm adding automatic commission calculations to a worksheet im working on so would like a number they use with electronic exchanges.

i would like to play some bonuses, which are credit card deposit only, but i only have mastercard and most places have problems withdrawing funds to mastercard. Is there any solution to this?? and please don't say get visa, it's not possible for me.

Indeed, It is not possible to withdraw to Mastercards from anywhere. I have personally used my MC a lot with many pokerrooms, and withdrawn mostly to Neteller. However, before depositing, you should always confirm with the casino what are their policies. Some may only allow withdrawals via cheques or other expensive and cumbersome methods.
