Webmoney: real services for the invented money?
Nowadays Webmoney is still the most popular payment system in the internet. Because of unique idea, level of service and given options, the company becomes a symbol of virtual financial activity. It is impossible to give the full review of a system in short article – it constantly develops and acquires new services and options.
But about the place that WM takes in a modern gaming business, much less is written. More profoundly we suggest you to look at advantages and disadvantages of service from positions of the Internet player in poker, at the same time proceeding from interests of the beginner in the world of the virtual money, choosing of set of alternatives.
1. What are advantages of the system?
The most important advantage of system is absence of a rigid binding of the client to the bank account. Also it is necessary to note the ease of use, the liberal approach to a problem of input/conclusion of means and powerful integration with set of services. Basically, to deduce WM it is necessary at critical requirement for cash – to spend them in a network much more interestingly.
2. Use Webmoney for game on-line
The attitude to WM at an online casino is two-folded. Above all payment services the ones with as much as possible high degree of personification of the client and the ones transparent for tracing of financial activity are evaluated. WM look for most stuffy institutions suspiciously. The matter is that system WM is built on absolutely other ideology, rather than “favorites” of casino NETeller or Epassporte.
WM do not operate with any of well-known world currencies. There are internal currencies of the service which courses are very close to dollar, euro or to ruble (the list of the duplicated currencies is rather wide). The course is close, but completely does not coincide. You conduct calculations by absolutely invented money, and only if necessary change them in numerous exchangers for the necessary “real” money. Such simple, but the ingenious course allows to simplify considerably registration in system and to operate in it absolutely independently and anonymously.
Coming back to a theme of a casino and poker-rooms: owing to all this specificity it is more difficult for them to conduct the tax account of payment units WM. Therefore not everybody accepts payments from this system. But nevertheless the quantity of those who is ready to accept it constantly grows. Besides, WM are quite converted in other payment systems and co-operate with such quite legal payment system as E-gold. So the volume of money coming as a result on virtual gambling tables from WM, is rather considerable (though precisely, probably, will not be defined never).
To pay game in Texas Hold’em by means of WM is possible, for example, in casino Titan Poker or in Party Poker.
3. Features of service – where to pay attention
The computer:
To start to work with WM, it is necessary for you to define, how and where you wish to place so-called «a virtual purse» – WM Keeper Classic. It is the program which you download on the computer and further work through it. There is a work variant through a usual Internet browser (WM Keeper Light), but all the same to you will suggest establishing on the concrete computer a number of the certificates providing safety of access.
How to specify personal data?
The personal information requested at registration is standard, and is not checked in any way. As no regional restrictions are present, it is possible to give easy relevant data – if necessary it will facilitate contact to system. For example, reception of the personal certificate for an official conclusion of cash will manage in the sum from 8 to 10 WMZ depending on residing region.
Safety of communication
Pay attention to Internet connection which you use for WM. The known payment system, alas, causes unhealthy interest of virtual criminal world. Try to mask keys and passwords to system, avoiding keywords in names of folders.
By default, WM Keeper Classic offers work a background mode (as Skype or ICQ). If you do not have 100 % of confidence that your ports of access are reliably protected, close the program right after checks of the account or operation with means. WM also offers a number of mobile services, however in our realities their greatest problem is occurrence of the personal financial information in a mobile phone which can appear to be stolen.
Currency
WM has some kinds of virtual money. WMZ – approximately dollar, WMR – approximately the ruble, is an equivalent to hryvnya and euro. Try to conduct operations and this way to reduce an exchange of intersystem currencies to a minimum – thus you can keep more money. The unfavorable rate suffices at an exchange in system of one currency on another plus commission fee by transfer of money through a WM-purse reduce a system rating in comparison with other payment services. However there is a recent innovation which can interest inhabitants of the Russian Federation – many electronic exchangers convert WMR in Yandex-rubles with factor one to one.
