Would major sites like PokerStars ever stop using the dollar? - Page 2

Yes.

As soon as we're all introduced to the Amero.

Since sites can about double their rake by switching to pounds, its got to be on thier wish list.

My account in PArty is in Euro, while still being able to play in Dollar.
I like this.

dont you get owned on exchange rate every time you play or do they exchange the money with no vig?

Do you need a new account for this I could I just get mine switched to CDN$?

My Account->Your Profile and you can change your Account Currency.
You can only choose between USD, EUR and GBP.
I'm pretty sure they exchange with no vig, but would be nice if someone could confirm that.
A topic i started about having your account currency different from game/table currency.

Right...I've never heard of any site that charges you vig for moving money from your balance at the site to the table and back again. I think doing such a thing would be met with extreme displeasure. There would be no reason for it, other than pure greed, and I don't think any poker site would be able to get away with it and keep their players. If anyone knows of a site that does this, please let us know.

How do you work that out? If you continue with proper bankroll and you are bankrolled for $2/$4 then you should play £1/£2. Therefore same rake. Or am I missing something?

This thread is reminding me that I need to convert some of my holdings to euro...

Say were given the option of paying UKP3 per pot in rake or USD3 per pot in rake, which would you choose?

Don't understand what you are trying to say. Rake is a percentage. If you have to halve the levels you play at because you are now playing in Sterling instead of dollars then the rake you pay will be the same. Simplistic, I know but that is what I am saying. No?
