If you have an account in $, it will be in $ after the 10 feb

It's only for people who have a sportbooks balance in an other currency and play poker in $.

Any thoughts on this?

the dollar is dying, this is as good as itll be for a long time

It seems whether I like it or not my bankroll will be converted in GBP this evening. I sent ladbrokes an email saying given 2 weeks notice I could have changed at 1.38 as opposed to 1.48 now. See graph of market data from bbc above. This means a difference of $100 between changing $1480 for £1000 now and only needing $1380 for the ssame amount 2 weeks ago. They replied saying they are not responsible for the foreign currency markets, and also that information about the impending migration was posted in November. This I did not dispute, rather that they should have let people know about the currency switch earlier than 6th Feb - which is when I got the email. WOndering if any other laddies account holders are affected and/or equally p155ed off!
