Re: William Hill which currency?
 
why would you be choosing to play at a time on everleaf on tables where you are likely to be playing against solely american players. They are unlikely to be degenrate bums and more likely to be solid grinders playing at the few sites available to them.
You are european for gods sake , play the euro sites with all the sports books degenerate bums and make money rather than knocking your head against a brick wall trying to eke out a win rate against good players forced onto small sites with questionable finances.

So you would advise me to play at minted poker only at euro tables and with an account in euro?

I have william hill in dollar and let's say I'm having minted poker in euro. So which currency would you choose for moneybookers? If I choose dollar then it will not fit minted poker currency, if I choose euro it will not fit william hill currency. Or I can choose Swiss Francs, so it does not fit both sites. But if the poker sites have better currency transformation rates than moneybookers has then it would be better to transform the currencies into swiss francs before cash out to moneybookers, that means having a moneybookers account in Swiss Francs.

So do you know if moneybookers or the poker sites like william hill and minted poker has better currency transformation rates?

Stop going over the same minor details and just play.

If your accounts are all in dollars or Euros or yen, you can still play at all tables and the exchange rate will only make a small difference, assuming you are a winner and get as far as withdrawing.

You are losing more by wasting time than you ever will in exchange rate differences.

Ok. The problem is that I have William Hill in dollar and I will have minted poker in euro. So what would you choose for MoneyBookers? Though Swiss Francs? After first payment at MoneyBookers I can not change the currency.

It's not about the poker sites but rather the fact that MB / Skrill always catches about 2-3% with currency exchange rates ... and that is a well known fact and how they make money.

Re: William Hill which currency?
 
Yes I heard about that. So if I choose William Hill in Dollar, Minted Poker in Euro and MB in Swiss Francs and always cash out from the poker rooms to MB in Swiss Francs, then I will not be affected from the bad currency exchange rates, right? My bank account is also in Swiss Franc so no currency exchange from MB. Or do William Hill and Minted Poker also catch some percents of the currency exchange rates or do they have bad rates?

The exchange rates at the poker sites are better in general, not sure if any % apply but they would be by far lower and depend what site they use for their exchange rates (Oanda etc.).

Yes, I know. I meant the sites will know your answer. Probably a better chance that they do then someone here happens to know exactly how specific sites like William Hill and Minted Poker handle a less commonly used currency.

Re: William Hill which currency?
 
I thought i made my opinion clear so i have no idea why you want me to look at it again.

I personally have $accounts on the sites, $ moneybookers and UKŁ bank acount. growing my bankroll so depositing to and from bankaccount is avoided so no currency costs. If i played on euro currency sites i'd do those with neteller. As it is i can move my bankroll from site to site without it getting skimmed to pay currency exchange.

what you do is up to you . But i can't see the sense in clearing deposit bonuses at two rooms at the same time and having 3 currencies on the go.
. play one site clear the bonus then move to another one.

Currency strength is ever-changing, exchange vig is forever.
