Online poker sites charge for a withdrawl?

Question

Does anyone know the prices that the Major online poker sites charge to withdraw money? I heard for FullTilt that it was like $40 just to take out money! does anyone have any prices?

Answer 1

Carbon Poker charges $15 for a mailed check withdrawal.  I don't recall any of the other sites charging anything.

Answer 2

No charge. Some sites will charge you if you want it sent a cheque sent by fed-ex but for normal mail it is free.

Depending on where you live you might have access to faster free methods. Europe has Neteller and Canada and the States has e-checks. The US had ePassporte until last week when they shut down..

PokerStars and Full Tilt are the two best sites.

Answer 3

Fulltilt doesnt charge anything, also the other sites like the one in my source also doesnt charge.

Answer 4

I've NEVER been charged for a Full Tilt payout!  Their old payment processor, ePassporte used to charge a $5 once a year, but unless you are doing MAJOR funds exchanges, there should not be a fee.  There is a beta version of their "e-check" processor which, from what I understand is free.  If you deposit with a Visa Gift Card and take a check for payout, it's free as well.  

Check the site http://dagus-statistics.com/funding.htm for a rundown of common deposit and withraw methods.  I believe poker sites are shying away from eWallet services, but there are other alternatives.  Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Pretty much no charges for withdrawals unless you want a cheque or Wire transfer. You are best to reverse it to a debit or credit card.

You could also use online payment providers like Netteller or Moneybookers, however you will have to pay the relevant charges to the company involved.

The poker rooms don't charge for much in general since there is so much competition out there. Try sites like ladbrokes or sites in a network such as ipoker. Examples of companies are Blue Square, VC Poker or Bet365.
