Hi,

I'm currently withdrawing using the following method.

Netteller EUR > Revolut EUR

Does anyone have a faster/cheaper method?

Thanks

You can't withdraw straight to Revolut?

How are you playing on there if you're from UK? You're in another country but you're a uk citizen?

No, can't withdraw to UK bank account, has to be Portuguese and I don't want to open a Portuguese account.

Anyone from the UK can play .PT, as long as you get a NIF... and live in Portugal ;-)

If you live in PT, why wouldn't you just use a PT bank account?

It should be* easier to get a Portuguese bank account than to play on PokerStars.PT from the UK

*obviously, you can operate a bank account from anywhere in the world; whereas PokerStars should be conducting ongoing scrutiny and checks to ensure he's actually in .PT. The KYC requirements are much higher for online gambling than banking.

I travel back to the UK quite often so having € unnecessarily tied up in a Portuguese account is a ball ache. Also, the interbank exchange rate from € to £ within the Revolut app is super handy.
