If my 888 account is in USD and my bank account is in GBP is it better to withdraw to Skrill and then bank or just direct to bank? Appreciate any help.

If your skrill is USD send then cash out in USD to skrill. Otherwise send USD to your bank as normally with most UK banks they don't charge a conversion for international currency bank transfers.

Question about Withdraw.

A possible dilemma.
I have been living in China for a while now.
US Passport with China Residence Permit

Started playing on 888 when I first moved over. Today thought about withdrawing sometime in the future realized 888 requires stringent ID verifications including ID, utility bill, etc. And realized this could be a problem for me.
Only available method for withdraw is Wire Transfer and Bank Draft. I have bank account here so no problem there.
China does not give local identification cards for foreign residents.

Am I going to be able to withdraw?

Thanks

kick2dante, HUD ban is a suicide for any poker room, no regs - no profit.

Will 888 be moving UK players to a separate client and reducing "rakeback" due to the new regulations, like Pokerstars is?

regs would not leave 888 because they cant use hud's, but lets not get into the discussion as for why

I don't want segregation. I just wanted to know if there was anything happening on 888 imminently.

Since posting earlier, I read about the Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association's appeal (to be heard next week) against the UK Govt's new rules, so I guess nothing will happen until after that.
