If you deposit via direct bank tranfer then it is 1 USD = 10 PED exactly. The only problem is YOUR bank will charge you the over seas transaction fee. My bank wants to charge me $40 USD per overseas transaction.

$40 USD that's insane :/ But I think paynova works fine and I will probably try out Ukash sometime

no offence but if u already whining about the fee on deposit...

this game might totally not be for u, i mean, did u ever played a online casino that doesnt take a fee whethever it be depositing or withdraw?

It's set by your bank, yes. Or moreso the credit card companies. Which is why I don't bother with them. Also you will find that on the website (remembering it is your responsibility to read the info regarding deposits) it isstated there is transaction fees etc etc.

Mine likes to charge $20 USD (different country). I think it is reasonable as i can transfer up to ~$20k US a time. Maybe you could look into another bank that charges a lower rate for international transfer and set up an account there.

true that transfering 20000$ usd at a time is very reasonable!

I can just imagine their reaction when you place as the transaction reason, Virtual Investments The general finance industry has a while to catchup to the concept of virtual item ownership and the sort

I guess you would be surprised to learn how much you're wrong on this ... the one thing finance people know very well is money, and how to move it around.

Take care,

But, thank you for the info.

So, how can I avoid the transaction fee? (IE, what deposit methods are free?)

Out of interest, how do you do a bank transfer deposit into EU? There's no option for it on Entropia.com as far as I can see...
