It's called ripping off customers at any opportunity. Why does that puzzle you?

Because every single place on earth has the US dollar higher then the Canadian except party Poker.

The vig is horrible. Assuming they actually meant to say they give 0.91 US for 1 CA and give 1.02CA for 1 US.

I was about to move my roll to party and start grinding there.

LOL. Not after 3 threads a day illustrating how party is ass.

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.

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.

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.

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.
