TotalBet and UK Betting??

When everyone refers to the crypto monthly bonuses these two poker rooms are always left out. They both offer the same 25BP for 5 hours of play like will hill, but i never see them when people are listing their monthly whoring routes.

I thought maybe that was because you were forced to deposit British Pounds and that there was a transaction fee from neteller. I called neteller earlier and they told me there isn't a fee when converting the money from one currency to the other.

So my question is what do you guys know about these sites that i don't?
Does Ecash service charge your for currecy exchanges?
Can you still play US 1/2 if your balance in GBP?

I feel like the play by the hour bonuses are great and super easy to clear. If there is a reason i should stay away from these two sites let me know. I have had nothing but positive experiences on the other cryptos sites that i have played.

thanks

There is no reason to stay away from them. They are just like any other Crypto site with the exception that your account is held in GBP only. There is no USD option. You can play at USD tables though, just like you can play at GBP tables with your USD account on other sites.

Whored there for months and have zero problems with cashouts or anything.

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

They're the first two cryptos I did this month.

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

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

awesome this is just what i wanted to hear.

I always would see people talking about interpoker, poker plex, and will hill but rarely were these mentioned. I was afraid there was so weird fee somewhere that was preventing people from whoring them..

thank a lot everyone.

One thing you should be aware of, you WILL get charged a 2% currency conversion fee when you cashout; it won't appear in any statements, but some money will get lost in the transaction). I'm pretty damn sure it's Neteller, cause I run into the same thing any time I cash out of a pounds or euro based site. If someone at Neteller said it was not them charging the fee, I'm 95% sure that the Neteller representive was either lying or ignorant.

Regardless, they are still damn good bonuses, worth doing every month. I think people leave them out because they get tired of listing all the skins. Just stay the hell away from Classic Poker, they have some problems.

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?

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.
