Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have just over $5k in my PKR account for the new year, but I can't help thinking that this whole exchange rate business is just an excuse for some enormous fat cat to take a slice of pie that doesn't belong to him.
To have a $5K deposit on PKR you have to pay ~£3320. No problem. Now if I wanted to withdraw that amount today (that I've just put in over the last few days), they would give me back ~£3130. Meaning somewhere along the line I have been ripped off somewhere in the region of £200!! It's a bit like going to a casino and exchanging £330 for chips, wandering around a bit without playing anything and then only getting back £315 when you cash them out!
With a generous points system, bonuses, rakeback and the best online poker software out there, I'm prepared to forgive - but still ~£200!?
