Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1800518, member: 40397"] Merge reimburses you for one check a month, so the first one is free. As I said in my post above, many sites charge a fee for withdrawals. Stars, FT, and Bodog charged for certain payout types, just not typically checks and EFT's. It's entirely standard. Especially post-BF, where payment processors are few and far between and demand high fees from the poker sites for the privilege. It's a cost of doing business and isn't a big deal unless you're withdrawing $50 at a time (which you really shouldn't be doing). BTW, one of the room operators on 2+2 awhile back said it costs them in the neighborhood of $50 to issue a paper check to a US player. So even at $15 or $25 they're losing money on the withdrawal. Fortunately for them, relatively few people withdraw. :) [/QUOTE]
