OKpay is apparently the same company as this:
http://www.essentialdatatools.com

A Russian backup-software company with a claimed 10 people working for it.

Thats not to say its per se fraudulent, I suppose Paypal also had only 10 employees at one point, but this isnt huge guys. And its potentially risky:

Wouldnt switch my life savings to there just yet!

It is but they still aren't a bank.

Really an interesting development. I think Mojang/MineCraft should look into this payment processor also.

I asked to one of the team about it ( from Twitter )
lol, people will mine to buy minecraft :_D

EDIT:

This is going to end well.

bitcoin can be withdrawn through a debit mastercard?? FUCK YEAH

[roos]

If there really are a few early adopters with a huge chunk of the total bitcoins, this might be exactly what they have been waiting for. What happens when someone dumps them there and then buys a car of a house.

If they dont have some kind of cap on how much bitcoins one can deposit, they might find themselves with huge problems unloading them without crashing the market.

The next step is asking Steam to add support to okpay.
Than you will see an huge amount of GPU comming!

Steam forum are down now.
Someone should ask it on the suggestion section when they will come back.

I just asked yuplay.ru ( a good game key seller ) if they can add OKPAY support :-D
Every game cd-key reseller should support Bitcoin/okpay, because all their costumers have GPUs!

Um someone hacked into steam and took all the credit card infos....

It's registered as an entity in the British Virgin Islands?  Domain name is anonymous?  Looks like red flags all over the place.  Only the time will tell this is not MyBitcoin v2.0.

Only the time will tell this is not MyBitcoin v2.0.

It is probably one of the many Russian money laundering outfits. Incidentally Slashdot had an article recently about that industry:

With friends like these Bitcoin doesn't need enemies.

Well, the financial dynamics is somewhat different. mybitcoin looked like small-time scam. If OKpay is involved in money laundering they will go out of their way to offer very good deals to the non-laundering customers to create a legal cover and detraction from their primary moneymaking enterprise. If they have 10%-30% margin on their laundering revenue they can plow some of it back to the side bets that provide the cover.

I remeber the days when money laundering was done through the prepaid long distance calling cards. Some of the best deals one could get were offered by the shadiest outfits. One could just call the customer service number and ask for credit for bad quality connection and they would give that over and over, practically with no limits for a single person making phone calls.

Why is my Moneybookers transfer on hold?

A: For safety reasons and because of Moneybookers chargebacks your transfers are put on hold while being checked. The process may take up two months depending on your OKPAY account operations history. Approximate time of us getting chargebacks is a month.

https://www.okpay.com/en/services/debit-card/fees.html

Card top-up   $3.00
ATM withdrawal   2% (min. $3, max. $15)
POS transaction   US$1.00 per transaction only

https://www.okpay.com/en/services/fees.html

Their fees are literally worse than those charged by banks. They seem like real predators who intentionally target those who are unable to obtain credit cards or conventional debit Mastercards.
