I think the cash out fee is RIDICULOUS at Absolute! I was/am a PokerStar player and NEVER did I pay a penny for ANY cashout on PokerStars! In fact, if my cashout was over a $1,000 at PS, they sent it next day FedEx to me?? I fully expected to be charged for the delivery...but they did not charge me a CENT! So?? kudo's to PokerStars! THEY have the best cashout... I pay $5 everytime I cashout on AP! I do get the cheque within 7 days...by mail.. but I pay the "admin" fees there!
