With the money you deposit you should quit online gambling and go to the casino to play the penny slots. You'll play a lot longer

Agree with Leo on this one... It's one thing trying to vent the pressure and bad emotions from yet another bad session, but totally different to keep complaining all the time form this or that gaming provider. @nicole1983 has already had the opportunity to start a similar forum topic where same concerns have been stated. 
 
I don't intend to repeat myself over and over again as I have already put my two cents about it, so let me say it straight and loud - STOP! Give yourself a break for a month /at least!/, try to evaluate and reconsider your gambling and after a month you still want it then go ahead. 

Hey Leo. Doubt he is complaining. He is venting. Bad run.
 
Either way. He has no idea what on line gaming is about. He should stop.

I'm sorry Nicole if you feel ganged up on. It's just that most people who have been playing for years, like you say you have, already know what their niche is, win and loss cycle, etc. Some people need that extra push to step out of gambling for a while. If you're losing money more money than you feel comfortable with, maybe you could take a break? You say your friends are gamblers, too. Maybe you could play some table games with them or switch to playing for free for a while. 

Thanks Multigambler.
 
So I will look into a VIP membership on Neteller.
 
I wasn't aware that Paypal didn't charge exchange rates when depositing the same currency they pay out for. I have however recently read, in a few articles that Paypal no longer allows Canadian deposits or withdrawals with any gambling type institutions. Here's one link of interest regarding that particular restriction.
 
<snip>
 
I read another similar article as well but I can't actually confirm this. So for Canadians and I believe Americans, paypal may be out of the game now.    
 
I asked the question since I recently got nabbed with very high charges for a bank wire, which I believe was the same scenario. Some banks use intermediate wire transfer companies in foreign countries and their charges are exorbitant. In order to avoid this, I investigated e-wallets but then ran into the double exchange rates from Cdn currency to Euro, (ie: Skrill), back to Cdn currency to pay casino.
 
This gets complicated of course due to many variables. Ie:
 
1) Some casinos play, receive and withdraw in different currencies.
2) Not all casinos accept the same withdrawal or payment methods forcing players to search for a casino that accepts their payment method without incurring exchange rates.
3) E-wallets differ on which currencies they accept and if not in their currency, (they convert). The gambler doesn't have much choice because the casino they like only accepts this e-wallet.
4) Some E-wallets can have multiple "bank accounts" in different currencies but you need to pay fees to become a VIP.
5) Casinos may accept many e-wallets but don't advise clients that there will be exchange rates, fees and transfer charges so you also need to investigate this,
 
Would be nice if an E-wallet would come up with an easier way, with reasonable charges, with a flexible deposit and payment method for clients that want to deposit and withdraw in their currencies without extra conversion charges.
 
Thanks for your comment !      

All what I can say about this is you can discard Skrill, Neteller and Paypal because all of them charge fees for currency exchange, however they are the best e-wallets I have used. I think every e-wallet will mean some costs for you. By the way, if you are VIP on Neteller you can use several currencies for you account so you will be no charged for currency exchange for transactions in that currencies, I'm not VIP there so I just pay for that. When you pay with Paypal you are no charged for exchange, I have been charged when received transfers in another different currency.

Hmmmm...good question. I'm afraid I can't answer it though since I only ever deposit in my own currency and since I only ever used Skrill prior to a few weeks ago.
 
I'm sure some of our members will be able to help you out though.

Great idea indeed! Thanks for starting that interesting and I guess, very useful, forum topic which could help many many online players.
 
Sincerely hope that some of our forum members will share their experience any time soon. 

This topic is to inquire by asking gamblers which e-wallets are best for Canadians, Americans, European and other countries who are advised by casinos that accept their currencies but deposit or withdraw in a foreign currency so that currency exchange rates are not exorbitant.
 
Example : You are a Canadian playing in a casino, (who advertises using multiple currencies),  but you deposit in CDN currency into an e-wallet account that allows deposits in CDN dollars but convert to Euros because that is their currency.
 
The E-wallet then deposits in your casino of choice in cdn dollars but you are charged the exchange from cdn to euro to cdn again. Same with withdrawals.
 
Do some e-wallets charge lesser fees and do some not charge as they accept your currency and deposit into casinos in your currency ?   

Congrats on your winnings.
4 weeks huh! They probably still using the dial in internet with a 32kb modem and that's probably where your 102 dollars went, the bill for the internet.

Interesting Leo, I'll look t up. I find it's all good to get great deposit bonuses and that one sounds like a fair deal given you can win and withdraw but I 'm still really curious to find a casino who deposits quickly into our accounts. I'm having a heck of a time now with Winward and I won the money fair and square. They were my best casino as well till now I am starting to see a pattern of delay tactics. Matter of fact they just sent me another email today which resembles the same email which is posted on the ask gamblers complaint site for Winward about saying that every once in awhile they go through audits twice a year and I was picked as one to investigate. See, I knew it was too good to be true. Deposited $45 on January 16th and won $900 so I withdrew. They claimed you get your money in less than a week and it's now delayed till next Monday so they can complete their " verification". THAT IS WHAT I AM CAUTIOUS ABOUT WITH ALL THESE CASINOS BUT I'M NEW AT THIS AND I'M LEARNING QUICKLY. :} 

oops,, who said Kodiak ? I meant  Zodiak.. sorry.. lo;

Haha, yeah, now it makes perfect sense I guess! Kodiac, Zodiac, Modiac... just a minor change in the first letter...

Amazing and True facts about the legalities in casino gambling. I must admit, scary at the same time. I am a newbie and trying hard to avoid such conflicts but unfortunately, I did get an issue a week ago based on the same issues and warnings you gave. The only disappointing issue is because these casinos are located in jurisdictions in the Carribean or elsewhere there really is nothing we can do to fight the cause and on-line casinos can basically do what they want deciding not to pay out on ridiculous reasons. 
 
Example, one casino, I'm about to file a complaint on your sight has delayed me from payout based on some verification that has to date taken 10 days and said they will only review next Monday. I bet it will get declined for some ridiculous reason as well. 
 
This has totally demised the trust in on-line betting so now I always do my due diligence and prior to depositing I review their policies, wait times, read reviews and complaints as well as send all my documentation prior so the "revision" process is 100% passed.
 
Even then, I noticed that casinos use whatever reasons they can come up with to pay-out.
 
You are a wealth of information and thanks for that but you're not getting a kiss from me.. :} 
 
The big question is what do we have as recourse when these situations arise ?  

Why do you think that making 5 deposits worth $100 in total and playing with 0.60 bets on Immortal Romance is crazy?
