Routing number

[g00na]

Hello all

 

I am trying to make a withdrawal from Rome casino albeit unsuccessful after a number of weeks.

 

I wouldn't mind but I never even got to play as the software kept freezing.

 

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the equivalent of a "routing number" is for the UK.

Ahhh...welcome to AskGamblers Forum g00na...on behalf of the moderators. 

 

You need to ask your bank what the bank's 'routing number' is. It's a code for banking use, for transferring money internationally, in this case, for Rome casino to make payment into your bank account. Wire transfers take a looong time to process...plus the looong processing time taken from a casino like Rome! But, I hope you will get your payment in the end, better late than never!

 

Hope I got the facts right for you g00na...right ValDes?

Hello g00na and welcome to the AskGamblers forum!

 

As our friend Afi4wins has already mentioned in the previous post, you'd better talk with your bank regarding this matter. However... as far as I know, the so called routing number is used by the US banks, while the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is used within the European Union, which UK is still a member of.

Thanks guys for a very quick response.

 

Just got off the phone to my bank and they hadn't a clue what it was, they just told me to ask the casino :-(

 

Looks like i'll just have email Rome and wait again for a response as the software keeps on freezing on me

 

Been reading some of the horror stories on here regarding Rome and I can completely see why

Do you think Neteller might be a better option ?

Definitely.

[Afi4wins]

Do you think Neteller might be a better option ?

 

Yes! I, for one, use only Neteller for all my deposits and withdrawals. It is so much more convenient and faster! Deposits are instant, withdrawals may take several days, depending on the casino.

 

Only once I had to request a withdrawal via wire transfer, but only because the casino did not have Neteller's facility for depositing or withdrawing. The whole withdrawal/payment process took longer but I finally got my payment about 3 weeks later. In this instance, I had to use the IBAN code, which I got from my bank, and I left the 'routing number' box unfilled (blank). Not relevant to me, as ValDes had explained above.

 

On a lighter note, g00na, it may be an enlightening fact for you that Rome Casino, along with all the other casinos in their group, are now under a new management! Their current support team seem to be good and responsive, but I have yet to test their 'new' withdrawal processing. No luck yet! Hopefully, what they are saying shall come true, that things shall not be as before (bad reputation), all payments shall be honoured, and processing times shall be faster!

 

So, lets wait and see...and please keep us posted on your withdrawal success, or failure, g00na!

the IBAN number for UK is  22GB thats for all people from UK and the rest of the number is your transaction number of your

bank account so you put first  22GB AND THEN THE NUMBERS

Yes, I believe this is actually your IBAN which will include your sort code and account number at the end but ask your bank for the full number or it will be on one of your statements. I am also from the UK and it appears on my statements but only the paper ones not online.

 

  

Do you think Neteller might be a better option ?

  

 

Neteller or even Skrill if you have an account with them. I do and I find them brilliant and I have a prepaid MasterCard for both Netteller and skrill so I can withdraw my money any time I want

 

the IBAN number for UK is  22GB thats for all people from UK and the rest of the number is your transaction number of your

I don't think its for all us UK members, maybe just a certain bank as mine doesn't have it. Mine starts GB70 which is the code for all of Halifax customers. This is then followed by 4 letters which represent your bank then your sort code and account number.

 

GB22 may be Barclays...I'll get back to you on that one

i think that IBAN number is for all residence from that country ,because the IBAN always appear first the number and then the letters and the SWIFT is opposite,so  maybe you are talking about the SWIFT number ,because swift number contains the name of the bank but shorted,and then the bank number which mine is MK22 and my SWIFT IS 19MK

Nope I'm from the UK and my IBAN is definitely that lol.

 

BIC (Swift code) is the AMERICAN term for the IBAN (International Bank Account Number).

 

They should appear on the TOP of your paper statement (from 2006 they were supposed to be on every statement) and you need 2 bits of information:-

 

International Bank Account Number

eg GB99NATW3030301234567

 

Branch Identifier Code

eg NATWGB12345Z

 

These are not actual codes I've just given example in the correct format

[cocopop3011]

We don't actually use SWIFT codes in the UK..not with all our high street banks anyway

[helenakp]

ooops IBAN for my country is 19MK

[cocopop3011]

ooops IBAN for my country is 19MK

Hahahaha K you remind me of myself!!!! Lol something I would do that!

[helenakp]

no cocopop i am sure SWIFT and IBAN are not the same ,well for my country is not

IBAN number is your personal number

and SWIFT is the code for your bank 

[helenakp]

well clumsy me 

[cocopop3011]

Ok so I found this...

 

SWIFT code is a standard format of Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) and it is unique identification code for a particular bank.

 

These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers. Banks also used the codes for exchanging other messages between them.

 

The SWIFT code consists of 8 or 11 characters. When 8-digits code is given, it refers to the primary office.

 

First 4 characters - bank code (only letters)

Next 2 characters - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (only letters)

Next 2 characters - location code (letters and digits) (passive participant will have "1" in the second character)

Last 3 characters - branch code, optional ('XXX' for primary office) (letters and digits)

 

In the UK we refer to swift codes as our BIC code...sorry for the confusion I was getting myself into a twist then. We have an IBAN and a BIC/SWIfT number...it's usually the IBAN number which casinos require.

[Afi4wins]

WOW! While all these IBAN, BIC and SWIFT conversations were going on, I was still SWIFTly drifting away in dreamland...
