Exactly. Think of this as Firepay's Monster rake.

They've been doing this for quite some time... this isnt anything new, contrary to popular belief... All you have to do is deposit once in a while and you don't have to pay the fee.

Wrong, this IS new. You used to get charged a $10 fee if you hadn't deposited in a long time. NOW you get charged a $10 fee at all times. According to an email response I got from support, this was instituted 10/2/2006

At least it isn't 10% or more. I'll be cashing out of Firepay after the weekend regardless, and am done there.

policies are subject to change without notification.

I know. My complaint was, I PAID 3.99 already to deposit, under the terms, that, NO FEE FOR CASHOUTS, then they changed their policy, shouldn't they at least refund my 3.99?

Obviously, 3.99 or 10 bucks doesn't matter all that much to me personally, but it's the principle. I actually want to put some more money in pokerstars, but won't use Firepay, I am in the process of starting something new.

What if I owned a car lot, and sold you a car, then said, oh, by the way, your $200 car payment is now 250, or I will repossess the car, policies are subject to change without notification.

That is what firepay is doing.

compose mail to support@firepay.com

then you are an idiot for buying a car from a dealership w/ a policy that allows them to change the terms on your lease w/o notification.

Firepay sucks pure and simple.

I've used them since I started and would love to abandon ship but is Neteller any better?

dStrangefate · #20 10-06-2006, 09:20 PM

Yeah, I noticed this myself when I cashed out. Obviously they've responded to the situation by trying to get a little last minute gouging in on their customers.

Whether it's 100, 10, or 1 dollar, it's still pretty lousy of them. If and when I return to online poker, I definitely won't be using their services any longer.
