    Bookmaker.????

    Anyone use these guys ??

    ok so I done a cashout for 3k (which is max per week) I dep in cdn dollars.. So I cash out 3k and they send me a email saying it was approved for 2255.63 US dollars so I do the conversion and it comes up to $2933.00 cdn so I msg them and they said they messed up and gonna credit my account with $17.00 more do the math $2933.00 +$17.00= $2950.00 bad enough you gotta pay $50 cdn a cash out or else use your points ... Anyone else have troubles ???

    3k should be 3k and no way the dollar dropped that much overnight .. I used 2 currency converters ... Seems like they trying to skim every which way

    Online currency converters reflect current spot rates, not the retail rate we are all charged by banks for currency exchanges.

    I use Aussie dollars so I completely agree that the system is an overpriced and unjustified leach on international commerce but it's not the books fault. I lost about AU$70 above spot rate on my last 1500 US$ transfer from a book.

    I wish Greek and 5Dimes had AU$ accounts too. My 2 fave books but it costs me about 4% each way to play at them.

    Are you not allowed to use bitcoins over there?

    Yes, but we cant cash in and out through Circle/Coinbase like you. Local suppliers charge so much extra it's not really enough of a saving over regular bank options to be worth bothering with in a gambling legal jurisdiction. And using US based person to person services still leaves me having to go from US$ to AU$ at the end and cop the traditional bank fees.

    When I get the chance I cash out some as bitcoin to make transferring into the US$/Euro only books cheaper but still lose around 4-5% when I want to bring money home.

    theres other methods you can use that you can avoid all this. look into it and talk to them. Its amazing what you can get done at books if youre polite and ask the right questions. Dont take that payout option and you wont have to worry about the conversion rate
