Default euro/gbp denominated poker rooms?

i don't really feel like watching my bankroll depreciate in value over the next six months as the us dollar collapses. what's the best european poker room to take haven at? i mostly play omaha, but i can switch back to nl/limit if i have to.

CD Poker (and then I assume the other iPoker skins) allow you to hold your account in GBP or EUR. Although I have never seen how table play works when using a different currency?

Mansion is great except there are [censored] all games.

The B2B network uses euro and many sites with sportbooks have a main cashier and a poker cashier, so it might be worth looking around. However, getting a EUR/GBP Neteller account is probably be the best idea, if yours is in USD already I believe it's possible to get it changed.

You play at the table with $ and have your account in €. Nothing to see there.

Every time you join or leave a table there is an automatic conversion from € to $ or vice versa. You only convert the money, which you take to/from a table. Your account stays in € all the time.

You probably don't want to play in Euro/Pound denominated games anyway, since the rake is higher.

yeah same on Titan, although they have no RB so it's best avoided. I'm guessing Betfred might be worth a look.

Other than that Ladbrokes and Crytpo both offer £ accounts and I thought I just signed up for the same at Battlefield, but they're showing my balance in US$ so I guess I'll have to speak to support.

well in theory this might be true but the standard of play on the £100 NL tables at Will Hill seems far weaker to me than on the $200 ones - more like the same as the $100 ones - and the increased rake (because the cap is £3 not $3) works out at about 0.5PTBB/100 I think.

iPoker holding your money in GBP means jack [censored], because it's converted back and forth at the currect exchange rate as you enter and leave tables.
