Exorbitant fees

PokerHost- a site on the merge network charges $65 for you to make a withdrawal by check. The minimum withdrawal is $100 but you must have that plus $65 to make a withdrawal.
So, the bottom line is that you need to have $165 in your acct to get a check for $100.
Does this seem right?

They charge $65 for the service? (or do they insist on you having a min. balance of $65 in your account above & beyond your withdrawl amount?). I can't see them charging $65 as a fee... seems insane!!

Umm.. btw.. what's a PokerHost?

Nevernevernevernevernever play at Poker Host! There are so many other good sites out there who don't charge a dime: Poker Stars is the best, imo. ALWAYS read the site's T&C before putting your hard earned $$ on it.

is on top of your withdrawal. you can not withdraw $ if you have $164.
LOL!!!

the min withdrawal is $100 plus the 65. I sh#t you not. They told me it is a fee that their bank charges them.
I too thought i misheard (like clemens) but i heard right.
I was soo pissed.

I asked customer service on their site and this is what they had to say.

Visitor: Do you charge 65 for withdrawals
Josh: depends on the method
Visitor: What are the methods you charge 65 for?
Josh: Western Union & Money Gram

No, they don't. Although I should clarify that I have never actually gotten a check from them. I deposit/withdraw using eChecks.
