Virgin/Webdollar Currency Conversion ....

[philossify]

Having been fortunate enough to win 17000 Vpoints the other day - I thought I'd take the money out .... so I converted them at a 1p a point into cash .... sure enough money appeared relatively quickly into my Virgin account - arrived today, then went to take it out to my debit card. Shock Horror! When I go into WebDollar to take it out the conversion rate for withdrawal is 2.09 to the pound whilst for deposit its 2.01 .... I'm sure it never used to work that way but maybe I'm wrong and confusing the Virgin way of doing things with SO Paradise. I think I may have spotted this before and is one reason I stopped playing Virgin as much as I used to - I much prefer Poker sites that hold your money in pounds and do the inter conversion on a day to day basis. So basically I lost (I think) about £6 of the £170 I won due to Webdollar rip-off :unsure. If you deposit £100 into Virgin you'll get $202 - if you then immediately withdrew it you'd get £96.65 back. So be warned .... with the dollar getting weaker at the moment any dollars you leave in poker accounts will lose their value.
