Yes, they convert the dollars to pounds when you cash out. On neteller i think there is a small fee you have to pay to get your money converted.

Actually, although they all seem to cipher in US $, no poker sites are really American. That'd be ILLEGAL!

Yes, usually at the deposit stage, there is some device that shows you exactly how much of your precious GBP will be converted into those US dollars.

EG. If you submit a deposit of £100, the converter thing will show you that it will amount to $200 (approx). After you submit, and assuming it is accepted, when you go to the lobby screen you will then see (immediately in most cases) that your balance is at $200.
