Congrats, that is great grinding. Mostly zoom right? Looks like you took some shots around hand 400k, or same stakes throughout?

Short answer is no. You're ****ed, and Stars won't even allow Aussie residents to cashout in another currency. The reason for that is beyond me.

Bit of a longer answer, I've found two ways to ease this pain a little bit :

1/ If you travel overseas a bit and find yourself spending decent amount of €, Ł or US$, consider setting up a Skrill/Neteller account and sending Stars.com $ for Skrill/Neteller €/$/Ł to other players. You should find quite a few that are willing if some ppl can vouch for you.

2/ If you need that cash for $AUD day to day living expenses, you can order your cashouts to your Aussie bank on Fridays. It normally shouldnt be sent through before Monday : that gives you ample opportunity to check on the Sunday night whether the exchange rate has gone in the right direction for you; if it hasn't, cancel your cashout and request another one. That definitely won't save you the whole 2.5% but it's always something.

I have only done it once a few months ago though, couldn't swear it still works.

Thanks mate. Yeh the whole only sending currency of residency policy seems absurd especially when they've sent me sterling previously.

Anyone's starscoin balance/bar not moving? I've played ~4k hands and bar doesn't move + didn't get new step and I'm pretty sure I should've because usually it takes some 3k+ hands on NL100. Waiting technical team for review, but hard to believe I'm the only one..
