I remember i used the neteller card to get my money from atms the first year i went to vegas and it cost me $1k to get $960 out of the machine every time. Doesn't seem necessary when there are lots of ways to move money without paying any exchange fees at all. Lots of skins of big eurosite networks accept EUR/GBP balances, and now so do stars, but stars have always let you cashout directly to EUR/GBP at the true midpoint rate with no exchange fees anyway. I'm on 7 sites atm and only have to pay a little for currency exchange on one of them it cost u 1k to get 960 out? what? Obviously he had to pay $40...

Well obviously if you took a second to think about it, which I didnt . Thanks Ket for making me look ridiculous

Not everyone has the luxury to use their bank accounts to cash in and out. a very legit point and reason to use it but i very much doubt thats why 'most people' are using them. infact thats the first time ive heard that reason otherwise i wouldnt have even thought of it, whereas this isnt close to the first time ive heard of people using cards from these 3rd party processors. im sure most people using them are worse off and ignoring better alternatives

Mr. Awaken-in-tax-free&legit-poker-paradise, hi!


Anon, im trying to make you understand, that you pay the exchange fee ( this is the 6-7$), it costs 1.8€ for one ATM withdrawal since you get that refunded by MB (by being a VIP), the only thing that is left is... exchange fee
also depending in what bank's ATM you use you'll get different exchange rate, so it's also important to know where is a better rate


exchange fee - 2%
exchange rate 1.5$ = 1€

when i say exchange fee, i mean conversation fees from one currency to another. I don't pay any, since i play in USD and cashout in USD.
