Title: Neteller Post by: mikkyT on December 19, 2005, 04:50:36 PM Does anyone know if you are able to change your base currency from GBP into $$$?
I want to shift my cash from virgin poker into another site, and I've come to use my neteller account but I find the base currency is £. As my virgin and stars accounts are both in dollars then I'm gonna be hit twice by the conversion rate :( Title: Re: Neteller Post by: Karabiner on December 19, 2005, 04:54:37 PM I wonder if it is possible to have two accounts, one for £££ and one for $$$.
Mine like yours is in ££'s, but as I play mainly on betfair/Hills and Laddies that's ok. As for switching I'm not sure. Title: Re: Neteller Post by: Sheriff Fatman on December 19, 2005, 05:31:07 PM You can switch your base currency.
As far as I'm aware you aren't allowed to have two Neteller accounts. Sheriff Title: Re: Neteller Post by: TheJagster on December 19, 2005, 06:31:32 PM I dont think you can operate two accounts......however I asked them this same question.
They told me to open a new account in $$$ and then email them to ask them to close the £££ account and transfer your balance into the new one. You dont get to keep your netpoints though! I havent got around to it yet though! Title: Re: Neteller Post by: matt674 on December 19, 2005, 06:41:44 PM I dont think you can operate two accounts......however I asked them this same question.

Title: Re: Neteller Post by: Ironside on December 19, 2005, 09:32:09 PM you get hit by the convertion rate once not twice
Title: Re: Neteller Post by: TheJagster on December 19, 2005, 09:40:04 PM Yup Iron I believe thats correct.....as I say I aint done it yet.
Title: Re: Neteller Post by: mikkyT on December 20, 2005, 05:21:26 PM you get hit by the convertion rate once not twice Twice, surely... Once, when I convert my dollars from virgin into pounds for neteller, and then again when I deposit dollars into pokerstars from my neteller pounds. Title: Re: Neteller Post by: TheJagster on December 20, 2005, 06:10:05 PM That wasnt the questin tho Mikky....It was what happens about cashing out from Netteller
If you use it to transfer between dollar poker accounts than thats why its best to have a $$$ account with netteller. Title: Re: Neteller Post by: mikkyT on December 20, 2005, 06:16:57 PM Which is what my question is... can I convert it? 8)
Title: Re: Neteller Post by: matt674 on December 20, 2005, 06:21:20 PM yes, ironside's post was in responce to mine. i only use neteller to withdraw money as i dont play any other sites apart from pokerstars. For me its much more beneficial to have the account in £££ as if i withdraw a cheque in $$$ not only does it take a lot longer to clear in a £££ account but as well as a very poor exchange rate i also lose quite a bit in bank charges.
If you use neteller more to switch funds from on site to another then it would be better to keep the account in $$$. To convert your neteller account from one account currency to another then just email support with your request, thats all i did many moons ago to have mine switched to £££ when the option was first introduced Title: Re: Neteller Post by: mikkyT on December 20, 2005, 06:26:59 PM If I want to cash out my winnings I would do it via one of the UK poker sites like VC poker or virgin poker. Deposit via neteller and then withdraw via my bank account.
Since virgin only let me cash out via my credit card, this would suit me fine :D Title: Re: Neteller Post by: TheJagster on December 20, 2005, 06:37:30 PM Thats wot I want to do exactly Mikky.
The above is what thye told me when I asked the question! |
