PartyPoker - new fees for withdrawals

For long time already, partypoker was not much withdrawal friendly with 2 Euro fee on visa card withdrawal.

But now they really crossed the line. Withdrawal to neteller or skrill has new fee 2$+3%. That seems to me like really extra rake.

Any opinions, is this room going to loose lots of players because of that?

They have already lost a lot and will lose more.

There was no warning so this is straight up theft.

It's amazing how many sites see how well pokerstars is run, how big they are and decide... Yeah, we are not going to do that. We will gouge our players instead because we are greedy and shortsighted. It's also ominous as to the future of Party.

Maybe they don´t care, because poker isn´t their only and not most important business. I read in a german news site, they want $4 or EUR3 + 3 %

i think party poker suck , pokerstars is great an now while full tilt has bveen taked underpokerstars maybe more people will play FTP

i have no idea why you would play at that nitfest on party and yes there withdrawal fees are a joke, full tilt not only has softer players but better games tourneys, and the withdrawal on full tilt literally takes me 1 day to get to my bank i love it

party poker seems pretty greedy to me as well, I notice that even the tourney format has brutal rake... the $3 double up tournies payout $5.40... really? that's a double up?

I didnt experienced that so far, but I wouldnt play in a room that takes some money of mine at withdrawals.

Play in Bwin, same tournaments.

Yeah I just checked it. Fee: 4USD + 3% in both rooms (Party, BWIN)
I withdrew 30 dollars from Party and I will get only 25 dollars. :/

I will never deposit there tho they were one of my fav rooms.

yeah i think we can officially declare that the party franchise is going down down down, and bwin btw is very dumb they excluded 18 countries, argentina, Armenia, Belarus, brazil, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the Ukraine, and all these countries poker is legal, i have no idea what bwin is thinking, but i don't see a point in playing on party other than for live satellites to a wpt event, the fees i have not seen on any other site either, weird that this site does not try to improve and be like full tilt, pokerstars or even on 888 poker level, at this point unibet is even better than party!
