Hi,

I've got some funds with i a s bet .com (aussie bookie)

I deposited £4000 into this bookie account over a year ago and due to the bookie only accepting Aussie dollar deposits, my £4000 had additional charges of approx £200 due to the exchange rate charge (about 5%).

My funds £4000 are held in GBP in the bookie account.

Now when it comes to withdrawal should I expect to pay exchange rate charges again?

Can anyone suggest any ideas on how to avoid exchange rate charges at approx 5%.

Cheers

Perhaps the charges will be lower if you withdraw to moneybookers in AUS dollars and then convert into GBP from there? You'll probably still pay at least 2% though. Only other thing I can think of is to have an Australian currency bank account, but probably not worth the bother.
