Too bad, ******* was the fastest at EFT's to my bank account, ie, once I requested an EFT at 6:30 AM and it was in my bank account by 6PM the same day.

I don't use *******, but this can't be a good sign. I don't really understand the rational behind it though as the canadian government isn't placing any pressure on the banks or e-banks to stop doing business with gambling sites. I'm going to be interested in hearing more about this decision.

If we see Neteller make the same move, I have a feeling we all know what's coming.

[BuddyBear]

yeah this is definitely a bad sign....

in a related matter;

Littlewoods has banned Canadians from recieving poker or
casino Bonii.

It seems Canada is becoming a haven for ejected american pros.

Well I guess I need to make some quick changes to my future.
Was moving to halifax at the end of this month.

Any suggestions on a nice country to live in that is gaming friendly? (

Yes, something is missing. They question that has not been answered by ******* is WHY?
