8 posts in all that time Bob ?!!
Where have you been hiding?
:bigsmile:I-ROBOT
That I-robot card looks as dodgy as they come though – it’s a short 4 page site – with almost no background information and under it’s USEFULL LINKS (sp?) page it’s still empty.It talks about an internet banking facility but I could not find a link to it ??
While the site is pretty – it’s hardly informative – and unless we’ve got a few people here who have used it successfully I wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole.
:crazy:GOLD EXCHANGE
But the Gold Exchange looks to be a better option- seems to have more depth to it – although calling itself the London Gold Exchange is a laugh …It’s not nearly as authoritive as that name sounds – it’s an e-gold exchange that happens to have a registered address in London – rather than being LONDONs gold exchange.
Much appreciated for this link though – I will be checknig it out.
:hithead:Send an email to your affiliate program manager and tell them you want to be paid by e-gold.
Include the link to e-gold.com in your email.
IF enough of us do this, with every program we are affiliated with, there will be some managers who will immediately see the value in this and… mission accomplished.
They (merchants) will also be able to purchase e-gold credits from the London Gold Exchange and transfer these funds to each affiliate who has indicated his/her e-gold account number.
The major value to the merchants will be an ability to PAY their affiliates in the swiftest and surest way possible, without worrying about legal consequences.
Last I heard, it is still perfectly legal in the USA to buy and sell gold.
Contact YOUR program manager with your request to be paid in e-gold!

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way!The first advantage is that it costs only $19.95, payable only through an e-gold account. No co-mingling of funds, no bank wires, no credit card funding. So, you must have an e-gold account in order to get the irobot card.
Second advantage is the funding. It can only be funded through e-gold, and only AFTER you receive the card itself will you have to worry about funding it. If it is “Dodgy”, you will only be out $19.95.
Third advantage is the TOTAL PRIVACY. You can fund the card without having to give your Name, Address, Bank information, and other personal data which would leave us “leary” of another “snake bite” coming.
Fourth advantage is EVEN WITHOUT YOUR NAME ON THE CARD, you will still be able to use it at ATM machines to make cash withdrawals. How is this possible? They explain it, but you should read about it yourself, as I have no affiliation with this enterprise and am not authorized to speak for them.
I DID click all the links and did read all the information. It looks good.
Am including the link in case anyone missed it.
Check it out for yourself. Click and READ ALL the links. It might be an answer to what appears to be a totally unsolvable problem.

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way!Don’t I remember someplace in the dark recesses of my memory some type of e-gold casinos that were pyramid scheme things?
Am sure the word e-gold is not patent protected, just like the word “casino” is not patent protected. Although there are at least a couple of online casinos that NOW accept e-gold.
Pyramid scheme, as far as I know, goes something like this:
“You sign up 5 (10,15,20 etc)….people and THEY sign up (5, 10,15,20 etc) and THEY sign up… (ad nauseum infinitum) and you might get rich quick.Big Difference Here: You are not signing up anyone other than yourself and there is NO promise, nor implied promise, of getting rich just by signing up.
Why don’t you check it out for yourself and see what promises are being made?

We’re All in This Together!Was reading at wiki about egold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold
Some things concern me as security does not seem too good.
Unlike credit cards, there is no way of having transactions reversed, even in case of a legitimate error or an unauthorized expenditure. e-gold’s Terms of Use stipulate that all transactions are final and e-gold cannot be held responsible for any spend.
IMHO e-gold is good for small payments only, there is no security – if your
account is hacked – say good buy to your money.bobmcd wrote:Fourth advantage is EVEN WITHOUT YOUR NAME ON THE CARD, you will still be able to use it at ATM machines to make cash withdrawals.

I-ROBOT
I did click all the links – i read nothing except the blandest of descriptions – and a thin schedule of fees. Which bit “looked good” to you ?For the Irobot card to be “accepted at 800,000 ATMS” it needs to be affiliated to one of the major switch groups, visa, mcard, amex (etc) but they neglect to mention anything of use.
Sure – it’s only $20 – but a little more info would have been useful.
E-GOLD
As for the e-gold and exchanges – it appears that this is a thriving business.
Check out e-golds list of possible exchanges at :
http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htmThis lists the available exchanges and a whole lot of merchants …
This is obviously a legitimate enterprise and huge dollars (the wikipedia entry mentions that they have more gold reserves now than most small countries :laugh: ) …
Of course as a virtual enterprise account security is a huge concern – because your account is only as safe as your id and password – so you should take appropriate precautions.
But e-gold does calim to have over 3,000,000 accounts and I really can see THIS being the future of casino gambling payments – it’s a well established enterprise that could handle the extra volume easily.
A great way to avoid USD entanglements – that’s IF casinos adopt it of course.
Thanks for THIS link Bob.
If they could increase security a little bit , as to protect us in case of any fradulent activity , i would use them
Yep me thinks BOB is a seller of the pyramid leader himself, anyway this thing was around years ago and people used it to collect money from things they did on the shopping forums and coupon sites, I heard it was all a big joke and personally the site has much to be desired it looks nothing like a professional e-wallet site and it is not secure according to my security center.
E-gold is different than egold. Are you certain past memories had the hypen in the word? Or maybe its the same, but now the time has come. In the not so distant past, e-wallets (ewallets) probably filled the need, satisfactorily, for most people.
The trick will be to empty your account before it fills up to a point where any loss would be catastrophic… in other words, keep a low balance.
No reversals means when someone sends you e-gold, its YOURS, no chargebacks. Same thing applies when you send some else e-gold, it becomes theirs! Make certain you check and re-check the amount and destination account number before you click the Submit button.
You don’t need the IRobotCard. Wouldn’t it look good when your bank receives a deposit wire on your behalf from: London Gold Exchange?
Or would you rather have your bank receive a wire to you from: XYZ Casino ?
Would your bank accept that or hold it in limbo for weeks and send it back to sender, all the while keeping you in a holding pattern ???And what about sercurity worries? You’re divulging only your name, address phone number and email address. They don’t ask for personal details, or bank information. That comes when you’re requesting payment through London Gold Exchange.
Whether you realize it or not, YOUR name, address, phone and email is ALREADY public knowledge. Just do a Google search on yourself (John Doe, or your own real first and last name). Include City and State to see what listings pop up. You may be astonished at what you learn about yourself that is already public knowledge.
Learn what others already know about You!

We’re All in This Together!I was going to use e-gold as another way of accepting payments for my ebook a couple of years back. I ruled against it, unfortunately I can’t remember why.
I’d be interested to know why ….
Payment fees seem good at just 1%, and the non-revocable transfers are also good – NO FRAUD FEES for casinos and affiliates !!!
Of course there is a “cashout” fee of around 4% when converting back to paper money – and that may have been the catch.
But if players wanted to deposit (say) $1000 into a wallet – then this could really be the way to go – if reputable casinos use it as a deposit / withdrawal facility.

:cheers:I think it was that it didn’t seem that popular at the time. Plus I had already added paypal and stormpay.
paul,
you definitely got the dibs for those salesmen :laugh:
i’m not based in US, so i can really feel the folks who have issues receiving money for reasons i wish not to disclose.
i do have a proposition though…swiss bank accounts.
i will not do it for personal gain as i fucking care less, i just don’t want to see people talking about the same issues forever.
the account works as the following: you must have a deposit of XX$ at any given point of time, but it’s not registered anywhere.
if you want any info, let me know.
kudos to CAP
ps.
edit: i fucking sound like i’m selling something…bullocks..forgive me and shoot me!
