Opening account overseas?
Hello to all, first post is a question. I will be visiting a relative in the UK in August. If I were to open a bank account while there, use his address as place of residence, would I be able to open and maintain an account with sportbooks such as Pinnacle once I returned to the USA? Thanks for any responses.

Why are you trying to fuk us up FBI man?
Calm down bronxer, guy has an interesting enquiry. Wouldnt mind knowing this myself if only for general purposes...And even if he were law enforcement last time i checked enquiring about something isnt a federal crime..Originally Posted by Br0nxer
he's mad that even though boston started off 2-7, if you add the games against the yankees this year, they would have an over .500 record of 10-8.
i dont think you need a bank acct but if you do then THAT would be the bigges problem being that you dont live there. As for having the acct, I dont think it would matter. You just wont be able to play from the states when you come back. So only open the acct up if you trust that person you are staying with your money
pinnacle will not allow you to make bets with a US ip address
... opening a bank account in the uk is not going to be as easy as "using his address" You will need a recent utility bill (gas, phone, electricity, satellite etc) with your name and address .. as well as a valid photo ID (UK Passport/driving licence) - check here for details ... http://www.natwest.com/personal/curr...nt-branch.ashx ... then - when you get back to the US .. you will need a UK IP address (proxy server or VPN) in order to log-in with a UK IP address to be able to place your bets.
What kind of question is this? I'm not sure how other countries work, but you have to provide your SSN and some form of picture ID (drivers license, state ID...) to even open an account in the states. Why would the UK be any less lenient?
If you could just walk into a bank in England and open an account with your name and some random address, everyone would be doing it.
Clever, but i assume this is not legal
nopeClever, but i assume this is not legal
but it is certainly do-able
Whats not legal, its totally legal nothing wrong with having an account offshore he's just lucky to have his friend out of country. The only thing that is not legit would be with the books if he gets caught, all would happen is they keep the $. So like u said to not have a US ip.
it is realitively easy to get a mexican or drivers license and phony a power bill
Yeah, can u PM me how easy it is?
you dont need a bank account, but you do need utility bills etc.. this is the problem
You don't have a pinny account? weird
Thanks for the responses, launching bets with a US IP address appears to be the end of what I had in mind. Just thought getting back with Pinnacle and avoiding dep./with. issues would have made it worth it. For those of you who are paranoid of new posters, I'm sure the "Feds" can come up with more sophisticated methods of investigation than posing a question on a sports/gamblings forum. Meanwhile Bronxer you and that pin striped team that the Sox just swept at home AGAIN, must still have a nasty taste in your mouths, poor phucker.
i think you would need proof of residency, but why not just have your relative make the plays for you and then write you a check
90% of info in this thread is incorrect
Getting bank accounts overseas are not easy anymore
Canada is by far the easiest way to go
If the guy is really a friend just have him ghost for you. problem solved.
My uncle in the UK is elderly, not computer savvy. I wasn't sure what the terms were as far as depositing with overseas bank but wagering with US based IP. As others have pointed out, this is not possible so my question has been answered.
i think you could open an account with pinny but it would be very difficult if not impossible to get your winning out, if the rules are like those of the states
Oh no u sure?
if i want to use a bouns several times, can i just use a VPN server and create new accounts ? I want to use my friends name and ID.
bonus whore!
you deserve what comes your way when they work you out
don't come back here to complain when it happens
so they will close my account if they see that i have a VPN service ?
do your UK relatives have teeth?
US IP address would be the problem.
well VPN is used for 100% anonymus internet wouldnt my location be hidden aswell ? will they only close my acc if they see my location change? is it possible that this happens ?
they'll close your account and hopefully confiscate all your winnings and balances if they find you breaking the law or cheating
yea that sounds like a great idea
well it cant be against their rules to use a VPN service ? Aslong as they dont see that I have 2 accs it would be ok? and they can verify my acc thrugh mail and ID ?
