I have been a long time bookmaker customer. Recently made my deposit for the baseball season and was charged and additional 5.5%. I called them and they said they would cover 3% international fee, but that's it. Worth fighting over?

#2Going to take a guess that you paid via bank card, and that they have the 5.5% fee advertised on website. In that case - no, not worth it. But emailing them and asking to give you a full list of all applicable fees for each method available on your account... that might save you some grief.Comment -

#3They really should put the fee in the cashier when you deposit. I didn't know about the 5.5% fee until I got my cc statement. Bovada tells you on the cashier page they are charging a 4.9% or whatever fee and tells you the total amount being charged. I know to add foreign transaction fees, but you gotta be upfront about the amount of the original charge. I actually didn't know the website listed the 5.5% fee until I read your post Grivas_Digeni, guess I should be more diligent when making a deposit. But if the cashier says $500 is being charged I'd expect $500 and then my bank to add the ft fees, they should tell you the full amount they are going to charge when you are depositing.Comment -
