Hello,
I was cashing out from 888 and was totally pissed of by their exchange rates.
Im using neteller account in Euro.
When I was depositing, the rate was about 0,77 (and you can see it at the moment of deposit).
But when you are doing withdrawal to same neteller account, you cannot see exchange rate. And they know very well why to hide it, because its damm 0,70.

So they keep like 10% withdrawal fee, hidden as exchange rate. I didnt found any way how to switch my 888 account to Euro. And I dont want to change my neteller accoun, just because of them.

hi bnasp2;

I have got the same problem; their fee is just enormous.
The only solution that i've got is to pay fees to neteller 2.95% on currency exchanges, better than 8 or 9% that 888poker charges me : you have just to ask to receive money in USD and neteller will make the conversion.

It's just ridiculous that a known poker room that is not operating in USA make this, may be cause most of players are from europe and use a euro neteller account !!!! so they will make a huge profit 8/9% on all widhdrawal that are requested in euro

I didnt found easy way around so far:
- I have tried to withdraw small ammount and selected $ as my account currency, but same rate applied, so I suppose that selection is overwritten in the process
- I have checked neteller, if I can have second account in $. But I think its forbidden to have 2 accounts. You could have multi-currency account, but you need silver VIP level = 50000$ transfered per year (Im hardly reaching bronze level).

Anyway I dont have so much money at 888poker to actually care a lot or discuss with their support. I was just angry and wanted to warn others.

888poker withdraw

I read from 888poker that the unique method is by check sent via post.

But will be quite the same to change a bankcheck into the bank (european bank) as they will apply a good exchange rate from $ to €.

So, which is the best method to evite huge Exchange fees?
Create a Neteller account in USD? I'm from germany.
Thanks
