    Hi Everyone,

    Multi-Currency is now in late stage beta and a handful of our customers have already been playing in our new currencies. So far the beta test has gone successfully and we expect to do a full roll out in the very near future.

    Users will be permitted to make a one time conversion at the xe.com rate to the currency of their choice (CDN, EUR, GBP, HKD). All users will be notified when these currencies are made available to the public.

    Thank you for playing at Matchbook

    - Mike

    why do you need new currencies anyway? just use the US dollar.

    I have been as it's been the only option.
    But almost all players prefer to bet in their own currency.
    And as a result of Matchbook no longer taking US players there aren't anywhere near as many players left as we'd like to see for good liquidity.
    As can be seen from this thread and as I know from several punters of my acquaintance, they are just hanging back waiting for the introduction of additional currencies before they join up.

    so lets assume that mb has the best odds...

    are punters are too lazy to get some dollars to deposit with and then convert them back to their own currency?

    most now see the USD as being a basket case currency and don't want to hold it

    so what would they rather hold..the dollar is still over 60% of all world currencies and is flat the last 3-4 years....even if they don't like it they could hedge...so again if the odds are so good at mb it would be worth it...

    as I said before, most would rather hold their balances in their own currencies

    particularly in Australia where the AUD has walloped the USD over the past couple of years

    and very few punters could be bothered with hedging their currency exposure

    I don't recall seeing anything constructive from you. Every post is full of pure negativism.

    It's far from that I can't but it is just a total waste of time and space arguing with your garbage, inaccuracies and misinformation.
