I'm 95% sure that the Neteller representive was either lying or ignorant.

Just stay the hell away from Classic Poker, they have some problems.

[/ QUOTE ]

I should have gotten the name of the girl i spoke with. I asked he about 5 times if there was a fee and she kept assuring me that there was none. Do you think the 2% is being taken by Ecash?


[/ QUOTE ]

Either it is Neteller, or it is Ecash and almost every other pounds and euros based site that deals with with. I'm pretty sure I have never cashed out of a non-USD site to Neteller and not got whacked for a fee.

[ QUOTE ]


Also what are the problems with Classic? I cleared their bonus last week and finally got my pin and cashed out today. I guess i will keep my fingers crossed. Please tell me it isn't a cash out problem.

[/ QUOTE ]

Some people have no problems, but a lot of people do. Basically, they tell you that you haven't cleared the bonus and must play more hands (which isn't true); then, after playing those extra hands, they tell you the same thing again. I don't think they are malicious about it, I think they just don't have their crap together, but which one it is is irrelevant. I've seen a general consensus that they are not worth bother with.

Playing 1/2 at these places does kinda feel like 2/4 though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would say it's your typical Party weak-tight 1/2 game.

I guess i lucked out. I kept track with cryptocounter and the bonus was there right when it should have been. I am glad i didn't run into any problems.

Their Ecash withdrawal fees are in GBP, so you are paying almost twice as much to withdraw your money compared to Interpoker or Pokerplex.

Can someone post the daily exchange rates that Neteller uses? I've searched their site and cannot find them anywhere, also cannot find the link for the forementioned 2% fee. Personally, I think Neteller uses a VERY favorable rate when converting back from GPB to USD.

I play at these sites every month, but you will lose some of your winnings in fees/exchange rates.

Can US players play at these two sites. I know there are a couple that prohibit US players. Are these them?

[/ QUOTE ]

The prohibit US players from the download version of their casino. But you can play poker there all you want.

[/ QUOTE ]

After you make a poker account you can play their casino and clear the casino bonus.

NETeller charges 1.9% currency conversion fee, so you will lose a total of 3.8% on money going in and out.

This is off their withdrawal page:
[ QUOTE ]
Note: If your withdrawal transaction involves a currency conversion, the exchange rate that NETELLER applies is an average daily inter-bank market rate published by a third party foreign currency data provider plus 1.9%. NETELLER retains this amount as a foreign exchange processing fee.

Thats bullshit. I asked that dumb bitch 50 times if there was a fee and she assured me there wasn't

On a side note, does Totalbet release the bonus 25 GBP after you log 5 hours total or do they do it hourly like william hill? I just 3 tabled for a little under 2 hours and there is still a 25 gbp difference in my withdraw limits.

They release the bonus hourly like whill and will send an email after each hour so its easy to keep track. The 25 u are refering to is a casino welcome bonus.

I don't bother with the crypto bonuses really, but I do play at totalbet for the games.

You can play any game in any currency, no matter which site you're at. You'll get the same exchange rate for your table cash-in as your table cash-out. When you cash out of totalbet into neteller you'll tend to get a crap exchange rate. I just always viewed that and the one pound withdrawal fee as a cost of doing business there. If you're withdrawing $1k at a time, getting screwed for $20 on the exchange rate doesn't really seem so bad, especially when they give you 25 pounds a month for nothing.

Are you sure? They have zero fee to cash-out winnings back to credit card (in difference to USD Crypto rooms where fee is $1).
