Default Which sites don\'t play in dollars?

A simple question really, with the dollar weakening by the day, non US players' hourly rates are also in decline(in their native currency). Which sites play in other currencies, preferably EUR?

B2B network (24hpoker network) is in euros
Boss network (international) will soon switch to euro
Cryptologic, you can play in £, $ or € (but beware of the rake, its capped 3 UNITS, i.e 33 = $6 in the £-tables!)

Party are able to effectively give you what you want. If your account is in a non-USD currency, they convert your blinds at a 0% perfect (ie, no skimming) exchange rate when you sit down at the table.

It's not the same thing. You're still trading in dollars, so as long as that conversion still has to take place, your hourly rate is still affected. On a eur site, your hourly rate is your hourly rate.

TY for that gdaily.

it's affected in the sense that the blinds are smaller to you - so to compensate, play x% of hands at the next blind level to even it out.
