Stars Withdrawls, Multiple Currency Accounts Q now that the dollar is a POS

Now that I'm spending a bit of time playing cash online...wondering if this is the best way to manage withdrawls to avoid the insane 2.5% markup from Stars (from 2p2):

Go to your Pokerstars Cashier and open a CAD account. Convert your USD in your Cashier to CAD and then withdraw from the CAD account and you should not have to pay any fees.

I request the e-cheque option, which comes in CAD to my BMO bank account and has zero fees.


Is good? Is this the same for deposits? Do I have to make CDN my default currency?

  • This is exactly what I did on party. Converted my existing USD balance into CAD, now bank transfer withdrawals are done without any fees charged for the conversion.
  • Sure is!

    You can also see how much you will get, it will be XE.COM rate, dont think you will get better than that anywhere :)
