Title: Exchange rate - Wow
Post by: Sunday8pm on August 28, 2008, 04:47:31 PM
Withdrew $2550 from full tilt. YES THIS IS THINLY DISGUISED THREAD I AM ONLY 9 GRAND DOWN ON THERE NOW.

Credited £1,335. Thought awesome must have got a good deal there because as far as i was aware it was $2/£1 or thereabouts.

Just checked XE and $2,550 = £1,392 So obviously i paid for some champagne at the shareholders meeting.

Is this rate likely to last?

I thought you always got the same rate for cashing out as you got when you made the deposit.

To avoid people using their poker accounts as a way of playing the currency markets without paying commission.

I don't cash out much :-(

Crikey, I just looked at the exchange rate too and its pretty impressive. I get paid in $ for some of my writing so thats a nice suprise

To answer david3103s question, I assume he sent the money to a payment processor like neteller and it got converted there?
