Opening An Account Outside Of The Us

[MAXWELL]

Any Ideas On How I Can Open A Bank Account And A New Address Outside Of The Us??but Still Being Able To Play At Home Here In N.c.(us). This New Law Has Really Hurt My Blackjack Game. I Have Really Great Luck At The Live Blackjack Tables. I Have Won Over 50k This Year Just Playing Bj Online. Now I See Betcorp Has Locked Up All There Us Accounts. Im Just Trying To Figure A Way To Get Back Into A Book That Has A Live Dealer Capabilities. Any Feed Back Would Be Great.

We touched on this earlier in another thread. There is a bank in Belize called Provident Bank. http://www.providentbelize.com/main/index.html

Just keep in mind they are a bit complicated to open. You must have a passport(i think).

Also keep in mind that if your balance at ANYTIME during the year exceeds $10,000, you must report the account to the Dept of the Treasury if you are a US citizen.

Also keep in mind that the fees are rather high. An international bank wire is $75 for example.

John,
thank you for the link. anyway around opening an account with a book, using a different address. Would a canadian address work for most offshore books.?? I just have got to figure out how to play here is n.c and have an address in another country. I would also have to have another contries id as well. Any ideas or info would be great. Thank you for the help.

You can set up a po box, that is a real address cause po boxes cause suspicion, in any country. You can use Google to find them. Its like Mailboxes Plus. Those services are everywhere. We have one in Costa Rica where our office is located.

So that could work.

[MAXWELL]

John,

what about when i have to fax in an id.???or do you only have to do that when you use a credit card???

[SBR_John]

Hmm...

Well, you stump me there. Now here is something but not easy. All of us SBR'ers have a drivers license from Costa Rica. You can get one with a valid US drivers license. You can get that done in a couple of hours but you have to go to cr. Of course, you could just go to the black market on the net and have one made. Books do not call to authenticate them. They just look have a clerk verify the address.

John,
now were cooking with butter. I would rather head down to costa r. and get everything set up. what about having a costa r bank account. can you head in the right direction for a good bank. Will I even be able to set up a bank account down there. is it safe to visit for a few days??i will probably be a few months.

1. Certified copy of a passport (notary, bank, attorney are some examples of a certifyer.

2. 2 IDs of your residence, utility bills, cable bills, ect all certified by list above or if an original no certify.

3. 3 months of a bank statement from a legal bank again certified if copied.

[MAXWELL]

jjgold,

whats all that stuff for? can you do it online?? but i still will need a drivers lic. from another country>>right

[jjgold]

That stuff is required for an offshore bank account

A drivers lic is a form of an id if you choose to use it.

maxy all you need to do if you want a UK address is get a phony UK drivers lic or passport which are available online. Books do not check this shit as long as it looks legit.

[MAXWELL]

jjgold,

where do i get the id from ??what site??how much???how do i get an address in the uk to match???thx for the info..

Yea you can setup a bank account in CR. Its a painful process though. Practice your signature, it has to match your passport or you will be sent home to practice, and I'm not kidding.

Scotia is probably the best bank in CR and it pretty much bites but this is the 3rd world.

[MAXWELL]

john,

you live in costa???

[MAXWELL]

jjgold,

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. ALL I NEED TO DO IS:
1-GET AN ID FROM THE UK.
2-GET AN ADDRESS OR P.O. BOX IN THE UK THAT MATCHES THE ID.
3- I CAN USE MY NETTELLER TO FUND AND RECIEVE MY ACCOUNT???

THANKS FOR THE SITE. IT EVEN CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!

Thats where SBR is located so I'm there a lot. I'm not a resident though.

[MAXWELL]

Awesome..where You Live As A Resident???

[jjgold]

Maxy I think Neteller will close within 3 months or so, I would go to offshore bank account route and keep a usa address

[MAXWELL]

Jjgold,

Might be OK for buying beer - definitely won't work for opening a bank account in the UK.

UK banks are very strict these days on verifying both ID and address.

[MAXWELL]

Gpc,

Not For Opening A Bank Account. The Id Is For The Book Orcasino To Think Im Not In The Us. Any Ideas???
Maxwell

[GPC]

I don't think it will help.

If you wire money to the book the book will want to see the bank receipt (with matching address) to prove it came from you.

And if you say you live in the U.K but have your bank account in the USA, neither Neteller nor any of the books will let you do an ACH transfer from the USA account because ACH only works with an American account holder's home address.

I think you guys are better off thinking about a bank account in Canada or Bahamas/Cayman Islands etc.

I still do not know what is american bettor. Someone who lives in US or someone who has US IP or someone who has US citizenship?

[isetcap]

US address = no go
US IP = no go

US citizen = no way to check

[Scorpion]

I remember I read you can use Earthlinks canadian phone numbers to connect to the internet maybe that will fix the ip problem
