Pretty suprised at some of the posts itt.
If anyone wants to give me a 5k loan at high street bank quotes I'm all ears, the fact I expect nobody to want too is why I think people charging vig when lending money is super standard and fair enough, whether you know them or not.

If anyone wants to prove how nice they are then I am willing to let them prove it by giving me USD at spot!
I have to say I was perfectly happy with using fliushy to get money out of Vegas last year (brag), although he hasn't replied to my PM this year about getting money there! I have tried to sort it out myself this year in getting money to Vegas but HSBC haven't managed to open the USD account with them that I asked for (expat with Internet banking etc.) but I think what they have offered is ok but I haven't checked up on it as much as I should with the limited time left. I did also charge no VIG at all when I had money in Vegas and other people needed USD but maybe I was being naive?
If people have limited time and are lazy/stupid like me what wold people say are the best options? A company like ICE delivers the foreign currency and sound like they will offer a better rate over the phone for larger amounts and will be generally fairly fast with this.
If I am just being stupid with what I have said at all I am happy to be told as much, hopefully with an alternative being offered.

They will use Royal Mail Special delivery to send you your currency and it looks like they charge about 1.6% VIG online for USD (if my maths is correct) but will reduce that if you phone them up and buy over £4000 apparently.

yeh ice was good rate for a large chunk relative to the amount you'll get skanked by banks etc.
last year flushy was hassle for the first 2 weeks because of the rio third party schenanigans but given that hassle would assume it'll all be plain sailing this year.
I has some $ left over still if anyone near london/essex wants some at like 475% vig 'ish'

Sorry guys but we can't do it this year, lots of problems relating to last year and other issues. Was really hoping would be up and running again in time for this years WSOP but its just not going to be possible.
Word of warning though if you do wire money to the Rio, you have to do it from your own personal account or you will not be given the money, they will also take over a week to send it back to the UK. Also on that note if sending money to the Rio be advised that you must take it all when you go to collect, you cannot leave it on deposit at the poker cage. Boxes are available but be quick.

Much much better off wiring your money to the Bellagio or the Wynn. 100 times more efficient to the Rio. |
