| Banking in Canada? This might be a stupid question, but here goes. Since UIGEA is aimed at American banks not American poker players, could an American simply open a bank account in, for example, Canada? I'm not suggesting that you try to hide the transactions from the IRS or anything like that but if the whole issue is US banks processing the transactions could I simply use a non-American bank. From where I live visiting Canada isn't that big of a deal. Would it be legal? Bill |

I don't know how setting up a bank account in another country would make deposits and withdrawals easier. |

| re: Banking in Canada? poker copied from wiki answers as far as i know, you can as long as you have valid status in the country... such as a visitor's or student's visa, or you are a permanent resident. if not, you can always go to wells fargo in the states and set up an international checking account for canada. |

I certainly am no legal scholar and there is probably a big hole in my theory but if I am correct that would take care of the waiting weeks/months for withdrawals and deposits to clear that we are constantly reading about. I was actually thinking of moving my bankroll to Full Tilt for the rakeback but all of the stories of withdrawals and deposits taking forever have me a bit spooked. |
