Dam it but pkr really are annoying me ..... got the free gift offer to try them out and cleared it and got the 5000 BRM points .... which was a excellent promotion by BRM. But had a few annoying experiences with them regarding depositing and withdrawing .... eg deposited $11 to do the gift offer of which $1 had to go to pkr for processing (over $20 and no fee grrrrrrrr) ... last night i played in the mini masters (won a free entry to this from pkr) and came 72nd out of 2,800 ish so quite happy with my $29 ish .... so made a withdrawl and get charged $2 for doing so ( over a $100 is free) Im playing over 5 yrs and dont know how many sites i played on .... but have never been ripped of for depositing and withdrawing before. So why are they annoying there customers with these stupid charges when all of the other sites out there that i have played on can do this for free ?????
over all they are not a bad site ... but they could improve on a lot of things and messing with my money is not going to encourage me to reload if i go bust there.

Haven´t played much on PKR since I deposited a long time back, but that sounds pretty bad. Never heard of a site charging amounts for withdrawal and deposit below a certain limit.
Strange that they should be so "expensive" in that respect with sites trying to attract players after Black Friday and assuring good cashier services.
No use for anyone Grinding the micros there I guess hey?

never had fee taken at any site for depositing/withdrawing but i use moneybookers and know some sites taking fee for other methods. but still sucks to get around 10% taken like that

I'm not real sure about it, but I'm thinking some of the sites are going to have to start charging for some of these services due to the next generation of electrictronic poker. This all coming from the whole "Black Friday" shocker! I could be very wrong, but we'll see if this stir has generated a new madness to where poker sites will need to charge their players just to pay the revenues some governments are imposing.
Hopefully this isn't so, but if not this, then what? Tax our withdrawals! Maybe some countries are safe from this! Good Luck to All!

PkR sit as far as their software goes is fine but I left that site and deleted it for all time as the table player movements drove me to almost start drinking again.
Try and play 2-3 games at once, my God, all you could do to control your emotions from throwing your laptop out the window.

Wow.Never heard of a site charging like that. Actually never heard of a site charging at all at this rate besides of some that impose Credit Card fees, and that only on deposit.
They sent me a designer bag (Ted Baker) for XMAS, they gave me $75 and posted a gift too for my bday (yesterday) and also my support contact gave me a $27,50 entry ticket for the Sunday Open $15K GTD !
They always process my cashouts quick.. TBH - I've never deposited below that limit, or tried withdrawing less than $100.00
Sorry you've had bad experiences, but they've been great for me !
IMO - Just wait until you have over $100 to withdraw..

i played at pkr sometime ago as well- and yep totally agree that depositing/withdrawing is their weakest section. not to mention the situation when they require players to send in scans of their id"s, recent bills etc.- whenever i tried to withdraw i always felt that it was a lottery- maybe i will be asked to send them a scanned copy of my ass maybe not

Those people like you, man!
I usually get some of those 1000-points freerolltickets, and 500-points dito for my birthday, but you rake a hell of a lot more than me, I'm sure.
Anyways, I too have only good experienses of PKR, except for that it sometimes freezes my old crappy computer.

Well Jess, then a Happy Birthday from me.. Hope you got a lot of presents beside the one from PKR... I guess you are one of the most experienced PKR player here, so ne question to you: What is the best way to multitable there, PKR lite or 3D ? Which camera perspective ? Do you know if I can save my filter settings ? When I try to find a tourney, I have to set the filter settings everytime again.
