USA Player - Play Online in Canada?

#1 June 7th, 2017, 4:20 PM

I live in Indiana, about 4.5 hours from the border. Does anyone know what would be required for me to play legitimately online in Canada?

I'd like to play some WSOP / EPT online satellites, etc but can't in the USA and though about grabbing a spot there to travel to. I just have no idea what would be required.

Just a Bank account with a Canadian Bank, and address of a Canadian residence?

If you visit US you can not play wherever you're from. If you visit Canada you can. If you do it often you have to explain them. But it's for PS. What rooms do you want to play in?

Will you drive 4.5 hours and then back just to play poker? I love you, dude!

EPT? I'd love to play at EPT....

Well, I was thinking that isn't that far of a drive, especially if I plan a weekend of it. But. . Hell yes I would lol. I'm from USA, just wasn't sure if I had to be a citizen or anything special to be able to go out there.

think bank account, and utility bill under your name for 3 months, local ID - do you have Canadian driving license?

if youre talking about online poker(pokerstars, 888), you need residence there. canadian ID, lease agreement, utility bill.

Don`t know how this all works, but I know that many players moves to Canada just for online poker

Yes you need re-register your account to other country. Unfortunately it looks the only way is through utility bill and identity card. Or if you create a new account then it doesn't matter.
Or I understood something wrong.

If you're driving 5 hrs just to play poker online I hope it's mainly for major online turnys....

There is American Cardsroom where you can play for the WSOP main event ticket. There is going to be a big satelite to the WSOP ME with 50 places guaranted with a buy-in of 530$.
Yes it's true. Somme people move to Canada not just because D.Trump won, but also to play poker on other sides

I live in Canada. Anyone can make an account here,just log on to Pokerstars and make an account. No id. No residence. No utility bills. Nothing. (if you win a large amount and want to withdraw,well that`s another story) They ask for picture id and a proof of residence,and a place to send your winnings
