    Default Betfair: Change Currency

    Hey Guys,
    I'm from germany and opened my betfair account 2 - 3 weeks ago. I've started the account in $$$, but I think, that the $ is the biggest bullshit ever ^^

    So I've contacted the Betfair support and they told me, I have to close my account and create a new can. Can I still get Rakeback with the New Account in Euro?

    Thanks!

    Hey Majorsnake,

    Why you do not like $ ? I need to contact our Betfair affiliate manager and ask him if its possible. I will send an email to Betfair today.

    The US dollar is plummeting in value, and it does not make sense on keeping your poker bankroll in USD if you have other options. I recently changed my poker account to EUR as well.

    No, Full Tilt only uses dollars as account currency. Some of the poker rooms targeting Europe more allow you to have your account in euros.

    Hey Majorsnake,

    Its better to ask Betfair about this thing, we are flexible in this case. The only important thing is after you close your account do all the instructions which I gave you in the email

    That is a good deal for the European countries considering the US economy isnt doing so hot right now.

    Unfortunately this thread rings very true.

    The US Dollar isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

    The dollar is only going to fall further against the Euro.

    Too bad.
