Obviously it is a good example to never pay attention to MikeO. The answer is probably because now without the U.S. most players want a different currency, giving Party a good chance of ripping off most of them on conversions. ENJOY!

PP deserves a great deal of criticism - but for using US Dollars?!?!

You've gotta be kidding.

The dollar is the most important international reserve currency, followed by the euro. The euro inherited this status from the German mark, and since its introduction, has increased its standing considerably, mostly at the expense of the dollar. Despite the dollar's recent losses to the euro, it is still by far the major international reserve currency, with an accumulation nearly three times that of the euro.

The USD represents almost two-thirds of Foreign Reserve currencies.

The IMF's data on this is available here: http://www.imf.org/external/np/sta/cofer/eng/cofer.pdf

Well, Josem, I wasn't kidding, for purely practical reasons...

...Since dollars direct from the U.S. are no longer welcome at Party Poker, and since there are more Euro in circulation than dollars and since converting my international currency into dollars and back into Euro again adds two more rakes I must overcome.

I do accept the Party line that the dollar is still the international financial "language," although I'm sure you would allow, from Down Under, that confidence is slipping.

yeah enough with american symbols on party, your largest market by far now is the european union so get the cet and euros on your site, the dollar is weak as [censored] and will probably continue to fall plus there's the conversion since most of us will be using euros now. you don't serve americans anymore so there's no need to keep sucking their [censored] for god sake.

Please switch to a stable currency. The dollar is in free fall. Why not change to a currency that is actually used by the customers, like the excellent performing Euro
