Posted by goliathfirst: was in shock, just withdrew 50 that i got after referring a friend and hey have a processing fee of 2.00 for any withdrawals less than 100.
i find this crazy, they want you to deposit but make it harder or financially less worthwhile to do so.
do you know of any other sites that do this? i personally believe that it should be free for any amount over $10
They had a 2$ fee in Party Poker too(at least they used to have it), but not with every cash out option.

I withdrew from several pokersites (CDpoker, LuckyAcePoker, Pertypoker.it, diamondbet, virginpoker) and no one of them aplied fees; some of them had a delay of some days (2 or 3) to cash out just to discourage players to use poker account as a bank account (this way is likely you make less withdrawals and for more money).
even if 1$ or 2$ is not much I don't think it's correct to charge fees on withdrawals: players already pay rake (and often it is not so low)
Yes, it's very unfair to pay fees even if they are low
We are already paying rakes on tables and they are making a LOT of money from those except if they are a small room with very few players but for PKR I doubt it...
I stopped playing there 3 years ago and was thinking about maybe someday I could comeback there but with that news, no way...
