Canucks: TD Bank has gone UIGEA

#1 26th September 2009, 6:59 PM

Just got a notice at Titan that Toronto Dominion Bank is no longer handling gaming transactions!!!

Don't forget Canucks, the banking restrictions come into effect in US in Dec., and a lot of Canadian banks may follow suit, as they are closely tied to US banks...

Is this the start of a disaster up here??

This could spread like a virus
Let's hope it's not a pandemic!

wtffffffffffffffff

This sucks

#4 26th September 2009, 9:10 PM

Meaning just no direct deposits to gaming sites, or does it mean more than just that?

Aaargghh.. that's MY bank!! But I go through Moneybookers there so may be OK, but banks may start refusing Moneybookers and Instadebit also, which would be disastrous.

We all may have to move to Antigua!! (hmmm... there is a bright side!!)

Not the best news to hear on the east coast. Hope your wrong.

Just tried a min deposit with my TD visa on stars, didn't work.

#12 26th September 2009, 10:13 PM

I bought a Visa Gift card from my bank in the spring - Royal Bank, and it wouldn't work, it even said on the paperwork once I got hom not for gaming sites...lol

#13 26th September 2009, 11:07 PM

As you can see I live in the US, but found a way around the Visa gift card that I purchased yesterday that didn't work and my on-line banking that didn't work because of the gaming restrictions. I was trying to get a deposit at Pokerstars so I could play tonight & another CCer told me to try e-checks. It's done through Trinity Global Commerce (trnpay.com) and it worked...absolutely no problems! Try it & best luck! Please tell me if it does or doesn't work for you, my friends in Canada!

aslong as these stupid things dont come over to europe then were safe for now.
I do feel sorry for u americans tho. Stupid UIGEA laws.

#15 27th September 2009, 8:47 PM

Hmmm that sucks, is it just depositing with a credit card that isnt working?

I deposit all cheques from poker sites into TDbank so i hope they still work, i doubt i will have any issues though with future ones.

I dunno the check just comes from another banking branch in quebec, how will they know its gaming funds?

Read the thread please before making more misleading statements or asking more questions. There is no article, try google. No idea about the quebec thing. GL!

This folks. From what I understand(and I could be wrong) is that even after Dec when this all takes affect banks still have to honor (e)checks. Banks can not just not honor a vaild check-it would cause problems thoughout the banking system. I talked to my banker and he said the e-check/checks should still work after Dec.

I've heard the same...e-checks have to be honored! It would mess up the entire banking system & we all know that won't happen! Supposedly, even the all-access Visa cards won't be honored after December.
