Firepay fees
 

Firepay is now charging a $10 fee to do a EFT (cash out)back to your bank account. It had always been free to do so until this whole legislative mess started. Just another corporation making a bad situation for us worse and sticking it to the very people who put them where they are today. They only charge you $3.99 to buy in but $10 to cash out. Total BS. They're just cashing in on all the panic which is totally unethical. I took my cashout and re-deposited back and I am now going to sell online chips to my friends for cash at no cost to them. We as a poker players need to stick together and help out each other to keep the corporations and the politicians from sucking out on us.

This was the case before last Friday. Your title and post are unnecessary, ignorant, and inappropriate. Do your homework before you accuse someone incorrectly.

There's never been a withdrawl fee for me, and I made one as recently as last week. There does appear to be one now.

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

I paid a $10 withdrawl fee on June 29th.

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

They get you for the 10 fee if you don’t make frequent withdraws. It says right on the page.

I have made two withdraws and got charged the 10 both times.

Once was last March, the other this past weekend.

I just cashed out two days ago no problem and no $10 fee. I don't think there is any price gouging going on...

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

On Saturday, I withdrew money to my bank account at no charge. In addition, I was never assessed a fee withdrawing money previous to this weekend.

I just checked today and they are now charging $10 to withdraw. 100% absolutely true that they are now charging. Those bastards.

shouldn't this thread be somewhere else?

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

It was free less than a month ago the last time I cahed out. Maybe they just implemented the fee with a little forsight. If a gas station raises it's prices dramaticly BEFORE a hurricane MAY hit, it's still price gouging. The way I see it, it's the same situation here.

i withdrew 882 from them and they didnt charge me anything

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

There was today when I did, and got e-mail back from them with the qoute -’Unfortunately this fee must be charged to defray the processing costs associated with withdrawal transactions’

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

They've always charged a fee for withdrawals when ur account isn't being "active", not having depositing for a while. Do a search or something.

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

I stand corrected. I just checked and it is true. They are charging $10 a withdrawal. I have written customer service demanding an explanation. What does this really mean?

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

I have used Firepay for years, and only once was I charged the $10 fee because I hadn't made any recent deposits. I just withdrew a few days ago with no fee, but when I checked just now they are charging me the $10. This could be a coincidence since it has been a while since I deposited, but I doubt that.

a/ There are other ways to fund a poker account if you wish.
b/ Why shouldn't Firepay be compensated for taking on additional risk?

Re: Firepay now price gouging
 

Read the T&C idoit. There's a loophole to this. Deposit with a 3.99 fee then just withdraw for free. If you deposit regulary, withdrawals are free.

there is a fee, looks like your the ignorant [censored] now. - yukyukyuk.
