Show me the Money

After my Vegas Trip win, I've been trying to withdraw my expenses so I can get the flight,hotel sorted out.What a pain it was to withdraw from Full Tilt ! - It sounds like I'm moaning but I can understand they are extremely safety conscious, and I think its turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise to be truthful.

I originally made my payment onto Full Tilt by Click2Pay as I had to use a money wallet, and they seemed easiest to register with at the time. That was last June time, and as I am a winning player on there I've never needed to deposit again (or withdraw for that matter). But when I came to try and withdraw back to Click2Pay, they voided the transaction as I hadn't deposited via them in the last 6 months. So basically if your a winning player, who only has to deposit the once, you cant get your money out ?!?

So I was required to action another deposit, before I could do a withdrawal.In the meantime I had re-examined the Click2Pay withdrawal methods - looking how I transfer cash directly into my bank - and it appears the only withdrawal method they do is a check. I wasn't keen to have a check for such a large sum as it all takes extra time, plus it could easily get 'lost in the post' .

So I've decided to create a new money wallet account and I've chosen Moneybookers - and am very impressed with the options they offer, and security they take in comparison to Click2Pay.

I deposited another $50 into Full Tilt to 'register' MoneyBookers as my main payment processor - and was able to withdraw my $3000 dollar expenses back to MoneyBookers 10 minutes later.

I now have a couple more security verifications to do on MoneyBooker and I can set about paying for my flights and Hotels.

If any of you good readers can recommend a reasonable priced Vegas Hotel then please post in the comments - I'm currently edging towards 6 nights in the Imperial Palace
