Default Neteller/Currency question

I didnt realy know what section to put this in so I put it here. I am about to make my first deposit on a poker site and have a question about the currency exchange. If I have $50CND in my neteller acount that i wish to deposit on a site that uses USD do I enter $50 for my deposit or do i have to enter the USD equivelent? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

First off, you're making the deposit through your poker site account from your Neteller account. Therefore it will be in USD. ($50USD) The exchange rate for $50USD is about $58 or $59CDN, if I'm not mistaken. You'd have to have at least $60CND (in your Neteller account) in order to deposit into your poker account.

Definitely not a TP.com Suggestion/Problem, so I'll move it to General Poker Discussion for you.

I assume bunny is right, but check with Neteller to be sure. The amount you deposit on the poker site will probably be in USD, so you probably only have enough to make a $40 or so deposit.

Lots of Canadians here. Someone should know.

Dude, do yourself a favour and open a USD account right now. NT rapes you on every transfer you make for 1.9% when you convert from CAD to USD and back again.

More info please. Where do I get a USD account?

I don't think we pay the 1.9%. To my knowledge, I believe it's the poker sites who are charged that fee. Correct me if I'm wrong.

My understanding is if you make a transfer from a poker site to your neteller account, either cashout or depost; the fee is charged to the poker site. If you make a neteller to neteller transfer then the receiver is charged the fee.
