Can someone please confirm if there is a way to avoid being stung on currency exchanges when depositing, i'm sure I saw someone mention it in a thread somewhere? Depositing in £ then converting to $ in the cashier or something along those lines?

You're fine as long as you deposit in the same currency as the account that you're depositing from
If its from a GBP account then go to the GBP tab of your cashier and deposit there. If you deposit to the USD cashier from a GBP account they'll do you for the 2.5%

If you exchange currency within the client it is still pretty much at spot. a lot of people think it is 2.5% to convert there now but it isn't. But yeah deposit and withdraw in pounds.

Casino is now live.
Also, they've added equity percentages to the table for all-in showdowns which is something Stars were strongly against implementing in the past.
Why were they previously against %?
Yeah as Ironside said, educating the fish.
Meh. I'd be surprised if more than 10% of players are unaware of the showdown %s.

Kinda feel like, if you're dreadful at poker and have been for a while, then it won't make a difference seeing the %s now. It looks kinda tacky, but yh, I don't really care that it's there now.

pokerstars software is so good that you hardly get a chance to see the %s anyway before the next card/ hand is finished, unless you can see them in the hand replayer. If anything, u think the 'fish' or fun players might think it as a cool new thing, and wont be bothered by it.

I wouldn't disable the casino for a while unless you really cannot resist playing.
I'm sure they will give you all regular poker players a decent freeroll.

From Alex Dreyfuss on Twitter
The "raid" re:Amaya is about "Insider Trading" concerning the acquisition of shares of Amaya before the acquisition of Pokerstars. (1/4)
Which is obviously illegal and regulated (
http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2014/12/11/canadian-police-and-provincial-securities-regulators-raid-amaya-and-two-financial-firms/
…) its not related to Gaming or Pokerstars. (2/4)
It should not affect any NJ licensing process as Amaya is actually the support/victim of the potential trading, not the initiator (3/4)
So don't get excited about writing/spreading/gossiping about the future of AYA/Stars because of that. It happens to HUNDREDS of companies (4/4)

While I totally think that traffic is not going to be effected by the anger towards stars whatsoever, that's probably as much seasonal as anything else. Dec-Jan is usually the busiest time for online poker traffic. Plus that milestone promo.

It certainly includes some seasonability, which is such a powerful traffic driver, with a northern hemisphere bias. November to Easter is very much the time when the hay is made.
Cash game traffic accounts for, on average, 65 to 70% of Margin on most poker sites, so that's quite a jump. It equates to a Y-o-Y increase, too.
