I guess you are from every possible part of world, with few exceptations, but there are more friendly poker countries and less. Where is poker paradise?

1. You can deposit and withdraw money on bank account
2. No taxes or rational taxes ( from poker, capital gains tax).


I plan to travel to poker festivals around world, play on GG and mayby on stars.

Malta is considered the poker paradise. Only 5% taxes. It's the main reason pokerpros live there .

I live and play from Belarus. Sometimes there are problems with withdrawing money to the card, you can withdraw money to the cards of certain banks, some banks charge from 1 to 7% for withdrawing funds to their cards, and in any case you need to pay a 13% income tax. I wish it was like in Malta.

I think every resident anywhere in the world will pay a commission on the poker amount because any state wants to receive money from money that is even yours or if you win it, well, the commission will be different in different countries so you just need to look on the Internet where the lowest poker commission is and move to this country and play poker and just enjoy if you win big

As far as I know, poker heaven is in Malta. But I would also call the Baltics a good place and Thailand (well, everything is cheap there: food and real estate rent). It is better not to go to Ukraine - we are at war, rockets are fired daily. And some poker rooms are blocked. In general, not the most comfortable conditions. :)

The most rational are the Baltic countries-Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, here you can play on all rooms, although the state forbids it, but we bypass this and play and do not pay any taxes at all, skrill helps us.

Thank you guys, but you did't understand me properly. Question was, where you can withdraw on bank account and make some use of it, buy something expensive staff like house or car, without beeing questioned, where from unemployment person, got so much money. Malta was very good, but I did't like they covid policy. (for now I guess it is cool and you don't need to be vaxed there, but it is not certain future). Thailand curious destiny, I guess nobody ask about where from you have money, what about south america, anyone play here?

U.K. have no taxes on gambling winnings.

If it is your official profession you likely will have to pay tax when you earn over the minimum threshold but it would be a standard tax rate based on your income rather than compared to some countries which have incredulous rates of tax on gambing winnings from things like poker or lotteries.

~EDiT:- I believe canada have similar laws making gambling winnings tax exempt.

I am from argentina. Here we have quite a few restrictions on depositing at poker sites. If I manage to become a winning player I would like to move to another country with more facilities.

I live in brazil and you can withdraw poker profits from your bank account without restrictions. But depending on the method you withdraw, they charge fees here!:sneaky::sneaky:

Canada has NO tax on gambling or lottery earnings, even if you are a pro. It's easy to use the banking e-transfer which only takes minutes. Of course winter is quite cold!!
