PPP cashier question

    I knew that the money in ones poker account was the same as their sports book money but i've just noticed that the amount of $$$ has changed because of a change in the exchange rate.

    I know the excahnge rate can change in both directions but is it possible/intended to have the poker money seperate from the sports book money and kept in dollars (Something like what happens in Ladbrokes)?

    Hiya Imp. It is kept in both your currency and USD. USD balance as all games and tournaments are advertised in $. It is not seperate but gives you an indication of your balance in the currency in which all games are played. As the default for the games are in USD currency and the exchange rates fluctuate we must also fluctuate and reflect this in the $ currency displayed.

    But is it possible to have the account in dollars where the amount doesn't change with the exchange rates? (Instead you get hit by the exchange rates when cashing out or depositing)

    Personally I would prefer to have them as two linked but seperate accounts. So you can do transfers between them but they are not both dipping into the same funds.

    Not necesarily hit Imp as the exchange rate fluctuates both up and down. And not I am afraid not because your account is in the currency that you are in EUR / GBP only Poker is played using currency USD.

    Hit was the wrong word as I realisie in can go in either direction but I think you know what i mean. As for keeping them in the home currency I rarely use the sports book (to the extent of only around 100€ per year - mostly to PP's profits :)) whereas with poker i'd sit down with 100$ in a cash game. As Waylander said, any chance of getting them seperate with something like what ladbrokes have done?
