⚠ Warning to all European players who are about to withdraw from Poker Stars! ⚠
Hi guys,
if you're from Europe, you have e-wallet in $ currency and going to deposit/withdraw $ to/from poker stars, you gotta be careful and look if it says really USD at your Depositing/Withdrawing Window!
Because if it says EUR instead, you will loose money, as it stupidly happened to me, when I negligently withdrawn $100 from my PS account to skrill. :banghead:
It's hard to believe in that bullshit, but in a fact they converted my $100 to € and then converted it back to $ again and only then transferred to my Skrill account.
And I paid $6,72 for that. Basically for nothing. Only because in withdrawing options at Poker Stars stood EUR instead of USD! :stupid:
Of course next thing I did was contacting PS Support and asked what the hell is going on, why do they made that senseless conversion, causing me that extra fee.
First answer was, roughly speaking: "Well, too bad, you are from Europe and in Europe main currency €, that's why it been conversed."
I couldn't believe what I've read and thought at that moment, Poker Stars went totally nuts from now on and I have to pay now fees for every withdraw I make.
Well I decided to wait up with my withdraw for better times with a hope something will change about their unfair politics.
Last week I contacted them once again. After few days of correspondence they finally told me, that I could actually change this to USD again. (Before it was EUR only in options.) For changing currency I only needed to make a new deposit with USD chosen. And that's it. I did it and finally can withdrawing without fees again!:deal:
Don't repeat my mistakes!
p.s. I still can't figure out why is that after so many years of withdrawing $ from Poker Stars it been suddenly changed to €. :hmmmm:
p.p.s. I hate that first guy from PS Support who basically lied to me. So I'll always ask twice and two different people in the future.
