Welcome to the PokerNews Poker Currency Exchange. Here you will be able to buy and sell tournament dollars from poker sites that allow poker money to be transferred. Currently PokerStars is the only site we have in our exchange, but we plan to add more soon. Use the calculator below to buy and sell your PokerStars money (T$/W$).
If you win a satellite on PokerStars and you are able to Unregister from the event you are supposed to play, the amount will be transferred to your W$/T$ account. The W$ or T$ can then be used to play in any other event, but using the PokerNews.com Online Poker Currency Exchange will turn your W$ or T$ into cash so you can withdraw it or use it in the cash games.
