Sorry if this has already been asked I went through most of the thread but could have missed it.

My understanding is that barclays is connected to bank of america and I can go to barclays with my BOA debit card in order to get cash while in london. Has anyone used this method before and if so has it been a struggle to get large amounts of cash out.

Does this mean that if i'm trying to wire in buyins for 3 or 4 people it might be an issue or can I wire any amount I want to the casino and it will be there waiting for me and i can take it out for buyins other then my own once there.

Sent them an email inquiring but i'm pretty new to all this and headed to europe really soon so need to get this done asap. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives me helpful replies

If i'm at 11.30am at luton, and want to play EPT 1K event at 16, does that leaves me enough time to transfer, stop at hotel and make the proper registrations ?

Yes. Luton's not that far from London. 4 1/2 hours is fine.

Hi All,

Agus - #182 - Step G's are now running in the Euro Client. There will be no Step 6 in the USD Client for EPT London. Rather than split the pool between both currencies we focused on the Euro since we already have PokerStars.FR Euro tourneys running for EPT London. There are no Pound (£) Steps as there is no Pound Step System at this time.

Cheers,

Surely there are more than enough players in the United States interested in playing Step 6s to EPT London to justify running $-denominated EPT London sats. And those players probably aren't going to bother creating Euro accounts for the sole purpose of playing sats to win a seat into an event whose buy-in is in Pounds.
