didnt know you could lose your bonuses on doing that but they hav to charge exchange rate everytime your currency is different due to forex regulations.
anyway all the tables are not in euros, most of them are in US$. do they charge fee on US$ tables too? just avoid euro/pound tables
if you have bonus to clear, clear it on world tables and change your currency laters.

What site are we talking about? Is this Ipoker? I have some Ipoker-accounts in SEK, I have some in USD, and play euro tables, and I have never been informed of any fees concerning currencyexcange?
All it says is something like: your money be changed back at the same exchangerate you bought in with.

ya the crap thing is when i first signed up i clicked Canadian currency, since i am canadian obv. so even if i play a USD Pound, EURO table i am being charged twice to forex exchange. they said i have to get a new account and i will loose my bonus with bankroll mob which is the only reason im on the site in the first place.
If the exchange rate is = in and out...you're not losing anything on the difference. Need a clairification on any and/or all fees associated with these transactions. IMHO this would be good info as well.

I use u$d everywhere...int'l currency. The only time I need to adjust is for deposit purposes. If you're switching lots you may want to keep up on the rates...there may be times where it may not be profitable to switch. Currency wise the euro is in the danger zone.

i once changed my currency from $ to € and i still had my bonus, still was tracked to BRM and so on. all they asked me to do was to cashout so it would be easier for them to change.
regarding fee´s...lately i played alot on ipoker and i never noticed taking any fee´s from me (i have to say i also never paid attention on it), except "round off" behind the comma.

I didn't think there was any extra fees for every exchange of currency. I thought it was just the current fair exchange amount, which makes sense. I could be wrong of course, if so has it always been that way? If so I guess I got unwittingly hosed.
