never play at pokeravenue usa

[Bobo Fett]

The poker sites are charged a fee when you deposit, that's the fee they are trying to recoup. I don't know if it's 12% normally, but I believe it is pretty hefty...and you have to figure a small site is not going to get a very good rate.

Not having it in the T&C's is shady, I will agree with that. That being said, this isn't unusual...UltimateBet is famous for denying cashouts without enough play, and I don't believe it's in their T&C's either, or at least I it wasn't in the past AFAIK.
