Cashing out winnings to your virtual wallet

You’re a winner, CONGRATULATIONS! I know when I win I love to treat myself with some online shopping. Now that your money is burning a hole in your virtual pocket, you need a place to cash out, right?

Collecting your winnings

Whether you have won a little or a lot, there’s a fast, safe way to get your money out of a gaming site and into your hands.  Here’s how:

  • Visit the site where you want to cash out your winnings
  • Log into your merchant account
  • Select ‘Withdrawal’ or ‘Cashout’
  • Select NETELLER as your withdrawal option
  • Enter your NETELLER Account ID, Secure ID, and the amount of your winnings (for your security, you will never be required to enter your NETELLER password on a merchant site, so if you are asked, please report the site to phishing@neteller.com)

Just to be sure, you can sign in to your NETELLER account to see your winnings.

Yours to spend

Depending on the merchants processing time, your money transfer might be instant, or take up to 7 days. Once the money is in your NETELLER account, it’s yours to use how you like:

  • Use the Net+ PrePaid MasterCard® to withdraw it from an ATM
  • Spend it wherever MasterCard is accepted
  • Transfer your winnings to any of the thousands of other sites that accept NETELLER (visit our merchant directory for a full list)

It’s as simple as that. Good luck and safe play.

The many uses of Money Transfer

I can honestly say I use NETELLER Money Transfer at least once a week, if not more. From payments to getaways to gifts, it’s hard to beat!

No more rubber cheques

When I invested in real estate with some friends, for example, I asked them to send me their share of the mortgage via NETELLER Money Transfer. We all know cheques can sometimes bounce. With NETELLER Money Transfer, I know the money is going straight into my NETELLER account.

Get paid in full

I also use it to settle tabs with my friends. For instance, I recently went on a spontaneous girl’s trip to the Okanogan. My one friend Samantha booked and paid for the accommodations, gas, food and wobbly pops. Once our hangovers subdued, we tallied up the total, split it evenly between the 4 of us, and sent NETELLER Money Transfers to Samantha. It worked out great! Who carries cash with them anymore? Not I.

Goodbye to gift wrap

Did I mention I have the best mom? She loves to spoil me. But I’m hard to shop for, so she sends me NETELLER Money Transfers so I can get my own gift. Which reminds me, it’s her birthday coming up, and I’ve got to think of something great for her! 

Pay your dues

My outdoor soccer season is starting up again in a couple weeks so my team fees are due soon. I’ll be sending my coach a NETELLER Money Transfer for that too. This year we are pitching in extra to get team apparel. We are going to look sharp, play stronger, and hopefully move up to a higher division this year!

As you can see, my money is online and I would be lost without NETELLER Money Transfer. What do you use it for?

Yet another proud NETELLER hero

I was flattered to be asked to become a NETELLER brand hero. I signed up right away.

I’ve never been accused of being a high-maintenance girl, so getting my makeup and hair done for the photoshoot was a new experience. Plus, I’m far from a natural in front of the camera. It was cool to see Jackson – who 99% of the time designs our website and other fun concepts – flex his photography muscles. It was a ton of fun!

send_money

I was immediately recognized around the office. A lot of people approached me to either say hello or to get to know me a bit better. Many of them saw me on our Send Money website and various emails. It’s cool to realize that my face is being seen by thousands of people around the world, but I’m sorry I won’t be signing autographs anytime soon. Ha ha.

You may have already seen many of our other NETELLER brand heroes in Chris, Alan, Hiro, Jen and Pam, so I can’t wait to see more of my colleagues on our website. It’s pretty cool to see yourself in that light.

What’s your inner hero?

NETELLER explains remittance

One aspect of Money Transfer that has many members scratching their heads is the process of remittance.

Remittance is the term that describes an international transfer initiated by migrant workers who are sending money home to their families. When home is a developing country, these funds can greatly impact the local economy.

How big an impact can it make? The World Bank tracks the worldwide movement of remittance money and in 2008 reported that $397 billion in remittance was paid. That’s a pretty astounding figure.

NETELLER supports top remittance countries

The World Bank has identified countries including the UK, India, Poland and China as the top countries receiving remittance payments. Many NETELLER members are already using Money Transfer to quickly and easily send money between these countries using their local currencies.

Pricey transfers

Some international money transfer services eat up a big chunk of the funds being sent home. Transfers from Germany to China are reportedly among the most expensive in the world. But members who use NETELLER’s Money Transfer service to send money between these countries are able to remit their funds without losing out on a lot of their hard-earned money.

Part of the reason why NETELLER is able to save its members money is that we support many different currencies. I mentioned transferring money from Germany to China earlier, so if you want to perform that type of transfer, we currently use the Euro, Chinese Yuan (Renminbi) as well as the Taiwanese Dollar, and we provide automatic currency conversion between these currencies.

Check out the handy online pricing comparison of services for the top country corridors provided by the World Bank. This is a great tool for consumers to compare the market price of remittance services worldwide.

Have you used our Money Transfer service? What did you think of it?

NETELLER: a year in review

We’re so busy around the NETELLER office that we don’t always take time to reflect on all of our accomplishments. That’s why I’m going to take a moment to go through my personal highlights for 2009. Before I get to that, I just want to say how much I love working with such a dedicated group of people. The pride these guys take in helping all of you get the most from your NETELLER membership is truly inspiring.

I promised you highlights, so here they are:

New services, countries and deposit options

We launched our Money Transfer service to help you send money easily and securely to family and friends wherever they may be. We also tweaked our NETPoints program to give you more opportunities to win seats at great tournaments, earn NETPoints on Net+ transactions and secure online money transfers, as well as give VIPs a chance to earn free deposits. But that wasn’t the only perk we gave our VIPs in 2009 – we rolled out tons of great VIP benefits. And because you asked for it, we also lifted IP blocking for all our members so you can access your account from almost anywhere in the world!

Net+ Chip & PIN and virtual prepaid cards gave you more

Our award-winning Net+ cards gave you the ability to control your spending and the freedom to securely shop online without the worry of your card number being stolen thanks to its one-time generated card numbers — and at 750 EUR, the Chip & PIN cards give you some of the highest ATM withdrawal limits in the biz. And finally, the Net+ ninja has you protected wherever and whenever you use your Net+ cards.

Special offers

2009 was all about cash giveaways and promotions, and the response from you guys was overwhelming. We awarded 6000 EUR to some fantastic players in our Luck or Skill promotion, sent out great offers from top gaming merchants like PKR, Purple Lounge and Full Tilt, and opened up our Showcase to members worldwide so that wherever you live, you can keep up with the latest promos from your favourite sites!

Online community

We know that you guys live your lives online and with an expanded presence on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the NETELLER blog, we’re meeting you on your turf. For those of you who wanted to come onto our turf, we gave you a chance to literally become the next face of NETELLER with the Be a hero contest.

And it was great to get to know a lot of you rally race car fans thanks to our sponsorship of rally racer Robert Fagg. His blogs really took us into the mind of a rally car co-driver and some of the videos are priceless, like when he hit a tree.

We heard you

It’s easy to forget that the internet is all about making connections. We really pushed ourselves to connect with more of you in 2009. Poker in the Park and Betsson Estoril LIVE gave us a chance to meet many of you face-to-face. One of the best ways to stay connected is through the newsletter that we launched in September to provide you with all you need to know about NETELLER as we move forward.

I am pumped for 2010! Keep an eye out for more tournaments, more giveaways and a lot of great ways to use your NETPoints and so much more!

NETELLER Money Transfer: an easier gift to send

The holiday routine has hit again. Year after year I rush to the store, buy what I hope is the perfect gift, quickly wrap it and then make the dreaded trip to the post office. I stand in the never-ending line, mentally calculating the shipping cost and invariably pay the premium price to avoid fretting over whether the package will reach its final destination on time.

There is an easier way

I’ve thought about sending gift cards to eliminate the hassle, but soon realized that is just as risky as sending cash in the mail. Yikes!

Thankfully, I came up with a foolproof plan for my gift-giving this year. I’m going to send my friends and family online cash presents, thanks to the NETELLER Money Transfer service.

Not only is it easy and secure, but I also avoid worrying about whether it will get lost in the mail, the high shipping costs and the horrendous line at the post office. As the sender I only pay a 1% transfer fee (minimum fee is 1 USD and maximum fee is 10 USD).  What could be simpler?

If you’re looking for a reliable and quick way to give gifts, check out the NETELLER Money Transfer service.

Have you used the Money Transfer service yet? If so, tell us about it.
