About LinkBacksDear players,
We, as a punctual association of players, are currently undertaking a poll among players to find out if you would be favorable or against cash games played in Euros instead of Dollars on Ongame network.
You might all be aware of the current depreciation of the US Dollar which seems to be bound to further weakening versus the Euro on the long run. Since cash games are played in USD our real revenue from our poker activity in terms of purchasing power is declining as well. Moreover the core of the players on Ongame are Europeans as Americans are banned since last year when the American congress passed the bill prohibiting online gambling.
Please return your answer on this Thread writing favorable to or against cash games in euros.
Should you turn out favorable we invite you to support the movement (at no cost, just by indicating that you are in favor of Euro games). To do so please write your complete name or poker nickname used at the tables along with your answer, it will be added to the list of supporters in the letter later sent to Ongame. This letter is a bid to convince the company of the benefits to switch to Euro denominated games. You will be sent a copy of this letter upon request. Remember that the more supporters we have, the more likely we are to be heard.
We count on your support for the benefit of all!
Dandi.

FAVOURABLE.
I am so in support in this movement. The benefits for those of us who currently keep a reasonable amount of our net worth is $US and watch it plummet by the day would be immense.Best Current Ongame Deal.

Neteller is horrible servicewise and charges extremely high fees for FOREX.
On top of that another solution is that you could also directly withdraw cash to your euro nominated credit card since all rooms offer such service...

In my brief encounter with Neteller so far, their customer service has been excellent.
For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

Would the extra rake paid by playing in euro's not make up the difference?
Some calc's from the OP would be useful if he wants my support. Originally Posted by WotaWaster

I heard so many weird stories and high fees instances, especialy for currency exchanges...

Red Kings is Ongame, and they didn't let me withdraw to my card. Hence the reason I got a Neteller account. Originally Posted by Il_Dandi

Obv I haven't been with neteller long, but the only issue I've had so far was changing my preferred currency and they were very helpful when I spoke to them.For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
