Moneybookers, Sports Betting in the Philippines (part 1)

Moneybookers is the most useful e-wallet in sport betting. It allows its users to safely send and receive money via email. This kind of transaction is useful if you have accounts in different bookmakers.

Registration
The email you used in signing up for your sportsbook/boomaker account should be the same with your email in moneybookers. Most bookies operate in a “Same way in, Same way out” policy.

Upload
For Pinoys, you can topup/upload funds to moneybookers account via Credit Card and Bank Transfer. Account Transaction Limits can be increased by verifying your Visa Card, postal address and bank account.

Identity Verification
When you initiate an address confirmation/verification in their website, moneybookers will send an ordinary postal mail which contains a code or pin. You’ll most probably receive their mail after 2-3 weeks. You’ll then enter this code in their website. It is necessary that you use an accurate, valid address in signing up. Don’t use “Barangay or Zones” in your address. Use the address reflected in your Credit Card Statement of Account or Utility Bill.

Visa Credit Card verification increases your limit. If you topup with a Visa Card, you can withdraw using that Visa Card. This is not the same with Mastercard. You can only withdraw your money by bank transfer if you deposit using a Mastercard.

Bank Account in US Dollar should be used for withdrawals via Wire Transfer. Currency conversion fees will be charged twice or thrice if you use a Peso Bank Account. You can get your bank’s SWIFT from your bank’s customer service or bank teller. Bank account details should be registered in advanced before receiving money in your moneybookers account.

    Pinalitan na siguro nila. Noong mga nakaraang buwan puwede pa. Moneybookers ba mismo ang tinanong mo?

    Automatic na binablock ng Unionbank eon and debit visa ang pagdeposit ng funds sa Betting websites. BPI mastercard ka na lang.
