Valiant23 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Re: Webdollar Query UK £-----US $---¥en-----Euro---Can$--Aust$--SFranc 1.0000 1.8413 209.8400 1.4566 2.0371 2.4601 2.2667 I was just thinking abut this just before the football started, and I have to say whilst the exchange rate isn't very good for us who have $$'s in their poker accounts then I would suggest keeping money movements that involve exchange rates to a minimum. Why not ask Webdollar why you have been penalised when you have to have a dollar balance in Boss Media poker sites? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 Re: Webdollar Query I was stupid last night , i withdrew all my money from virgin to pay for my flights to london for the ibiza trip, forgetting to leave money in for the 2 PL Virgin games. hence ive had to deposit again Ill email webdollar, but i suppose its how they make their money, or else why offer a service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Re: Webdollar Query unless you use the poker sites to make money deposit £100 when the dollar rate is $1.94 withdraw when it is $1.74 and make a profit This works on sites with direct deposit only - I did this last year on vc, when the rate hit $1.94 and withdrew about 3 months ago at $1.74 a few hundred quid became a new BR to play with :) at no cost to me except a lack of the cash for a few months Damo I was just thinking abut this just before the football started, and I have to say whilst the exchange rate isn't very good for us who have $$'s in their poker accounts then I would suggest keeping money movements that involve exchange rates to a minimum.

philossify Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Re: Webdollar Query Yep I hit that Webdollar exchange rate problem getting some money out of Virgin as well .... about 2.5& ripped off each way - 5% spread - didn't check what rate I got on transferring my V-points into money on Virgin - maybe I lost 2.5% there? Mind you I only paid some money in to verify my card so that I could withdraw my winnings ... so it was money for free. Virgin rocks - Webdollar sucks! Still think Betfair have the best money management overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
