well u can always withdraw to your skrill/moneybookers account...never used direct to bank withdrawals, since they seem to be the priciest option. it's really easy to open skrill account withdraw your cash there and from skrill account withdraw to your bank account..even doing this double procedure u end up saving cash...

I remember in my first days when i wasnt familiar with ewallets that i used bank transfer to move about 150$ in my account, just to found out that my own bank charged me 32$ for that transaction. Never used bank transfers since then. Either sites charge or the banks. At least here.

For me is really weird to see them charging that, few years ago they didnt charged i think! To make things worst last week i made a cashout from my pokerstars account and i received all the Money, doesnt got any charges neither from the bank or the site!!! This situaction is really pissong me off, its not because of 10$ its becvause i already pay enough rake for any game i play in the site!!!
You could probably just cash out to UKash, and deposit that to pokerstars. That should be free of charge, with the added benefit of pokerstars doing very cheap currency conversion, if you need that.

I dont really get the reason why some sites charging the transactions. The rake isnt enough for them, or they believe thats good for their business. In another view shows what level of players want in their site, in terms of stakes they play. Perhaps they think the ones cashing out much wont bother them.

Hi,on Party poker and casino I do withdrawals few times every month and fee is 2.5$ for ages,I do withdrawal today back to Visa card and fee was 2.5 $,so don't worry and yes thanks on 50$ won in yesterdays Mobdraw (only 130 cards) Yes Party have fee 2.5 $ but you can withdraw how much you want,on Pokerstars and Fulltilt minimum is 50 or 100$ ,iam not sure,I think that is better to you can do withdrawal how much you want,maybe you need to cashout 30 or 25 $ for deposit on other site if you want to play some tourney ,for me that is better.

You are talking about credit card transactions, which are 50US$ in Full Tilt (so i suppose the same must me in Poker Stars also.), but in Full Tilt they have minimum cash out of 1$ with Neteller and moneybookers. I dont remember any other site having such limits. And free of charge also.

Makes me laugh when people complain about fees..you're playing poker..most usually eventually with other peoples money.. say you cash out $300 or $1000 a ten dollar fee is nothing.deal with it.support the economy
I have never dealt with any service charges or fees for withdraws or deposit.from Party Poker. Conversion rates sure. but i gain from that when i withdraw

party poker has 3 methods to withdraw to your bank if you use fast bank transfer you pay a $10.00 fee, if you use bank wire transfer you pay a $50.00 fee , if you use the one i use , electronic transfer, there is no fee.

3% fee is outrageous. The thing i would like to know is this fee an existing one from skrill that party passes to the player and all other sites waiving it, or its just another method to make more money. Eitherway its bad business from my point of view.

Yep thats the main reason why i quit playing from party poker too, the fee is too high for a cashout and for every cashout you will have to pay the fees and in the long run this gonna eat your profits anyways and it is better to join another room where it will be better with no fee in cashing out to skrill.
The only site i know that charges for Skrill cashout is partypoker, though pinnacle does too, but at least there is one withdrawal free per month
pokerstars have no charges for cash out.
