Payments to Middle Earth PBM Games as per usual not Harlequin.
5% charge
for UK Credit card payments (Flagship will appear on your statement).

why is there a 5% charge for UK credit card payments ?

I wonder if I could allow UK players to give me their money (I would charge
less then 5% BTW), and then I pay Clint for the turns using my credit card
(no 5% charge for me, as I'm not a UK based person).

Very strange.

p.s and no, I don't want overseas money slushing in my accounts. Seems the
police might think i'm doing something illegial (aussies are generally
smarter than that when it comes to breaking the law - just look at the fine
Aussies cricketers get for accepting money from bookmakers compared to
Cronje's punishment)

Cos we realise how hard it is for foreign players to get money to us so
don't want to add the extra inconvenience of players having to pay more when
this is the only viable method of paying (realistically).

Foreign players have to pay more for turns, reason being there is more work
involved and costs in running a game for such players.

As for your cunning plan, we'd probably notice.... :slight_smile: (Cunning as a fox
m'lord).
