[/ QUOTE ] it's pretty standard to rip off the customer around 2% for exchange. it's entirely different when the inversion of exchange rates is almost 7% off. |

Re: party\'s exchange rate is so bonkers up!!
Do they not have adhere to a certain rate? I remember receivng a check that wasn't converted at all they gave me $200 Canadian for a $200US cashout. When I contacted the poker site they apologised and gave me the difference and when i asked about the conversion, they pointed me to a online site for merchants (can't remember the link) that they used for their conversions.

[/ QUOTE ] It does seem to be getting just a little worse all the time. Don't forget though, when the bank nails you for 2% one way, they also get you for 2 the other way. IE if they sell a US dollar for 1.08, they'll be buying it for 1.04. That being said, this is almost 6.5%. They had a great rate for a while, then it was decent, now it's become expensive. The next step would seem to be exorbitant. And of course, that's not including all of their new $1-2.50 cashout fees. Ugh. |

Re: party\'s exchange rate is so bonkers up!!
Is there any way us brits can open an account that uses dollars somehow? These exchange rates are starting to take the piss now... Each week they seem to be ripping us off a bit more.

Hahaha, Party is trying REAL hard to lose all their players.
1. Screw the affiliates. 2. Make the bonuses next to impossible to clear. 3. Increase rake. 4. Take a 7% vig on exchange rates. A $100 bonus now becomes a $40 bonus with these stupid rates. |

Unfortunately, Party said, "yes, you can use that account for EFT's, but when you withdraw we'll still convert the amount to Canadian dollars before sending it to you(!)" |

Huge sigh, I never even had the opportunity to use it yet. |
