The rate changed.

Before they rolled out the GBP and CAD beta a few days ago the exchange rate changed once each weekday. Now it's updated more often.

Changing to multi currency games is the most retarded thing Stars has ever done, especially now that they're rolling out Sterling tables. The satellites either don't run or the field has dwindled to such an extend that I don't fancy playing them anymore.

With these changes Stars actually made it harder for UK players to grind satellites and qualify for UK based venues.

Amazing!!

Is anyone else finding it impossible to do an entire Moneybookers transaction in Euros? I've traded about 15 emails with support and they won't even admit its broken.

I've added a Euro account to my Cashier. I've set that as my primary account. Yet when I go to deposit it wants the amount in USD. So I put it in anyway and as soon as I hit the Moneybookers site it confirms the transaction is being requested in USD. Of course this is no good because my Moneybooks account is in Euro.

Conveted some $ to euros to play € games- right away found a huge deep fish at the € table

(euro being worth more "at the same stakes" made the things even more awsome)

But during the game the "summary" section of the cashier works wrong since if you have $ and € tables up is gives you some weird ass "total" calculation which is couple of BI's lower that what you actualy have total

. As I closed all tables it seemed to add things together all right but no way to be shure...
Also HEM table monitor had things wrong when both types of tables were open.
