Hi guys.
Recently I decided to try playing on GG because I was struggling to find enough MTTs at my target BI across Pokerstars/Grosvenor.
GG have an introductory offer matching first deposit up to $600 (after about a billion raked hands apparently...) so I withdrew $600 from Pokerstars and stuck it into GG.
It's actually cost me £30 ($39.99) more to deposit $600 in GG than I got back withdrawing $600 from Pokerstars which is fairly horrendous
I'd imagine both sites offer awful currency conversion rates so I knew there'd be a hit, but that's a lot in my opinion.
I don't actually have USD bank account, so does anyone have any ideas how to avoid stuff like this going forwards? Should I just get a USD account?
tl:dr - how to avoid currency conversion losses?
