    Thats wrong

    You have to go to most of these Countries to open accounts and show documents

    Forget offshore bank accounts, almost impossible to get now unless you form an offshore coproration and that costs money

          You will also need to demonstrate residency outside the US (utility bills etc).

            Just fake that shit, get some whiteout and type 101 Canada st on your utility bill, wtf are they gonna know

            Only prob I see would be getting the account, I mean what country is gonna let some non-citizen with no job or residency there with no tax # walk in and open up an account. I mean they run credit checks and shit to open an account in US thats why no black has a checking account

                        There are, in most countries, different types of account. It's possible to give you an account with no ability to go overdrawn or write cheques. In Denmark, even with a job, I could not get anything more than a debit deposit account -- giving you this poses no risk to the bank, and you could receive/send bank wires quite happily. Australia is a bit more lenient with what they give you (basically a proper account) but requires a lot more ID.

                            I dont know i think im gonna try and move there and see what happens. Im not to far away to take a trip there, plus i have family there. It cant be that hard and once u do it then no more issues with this crap,plus u get to add pinny and all the other good stuff. Theres just to much doe involved to just sit back and let these guys stick it in our ass.

                              Yea if you got family there you can set one up surely, just tell em you live with that family

                              Also its fukin pathetic to have every decent site and deposit option be "off limits" to you bc your in the one country on earth that considers lotto and slots less of a gamble than sports so get on up there and let us know if it was easy or hard

                                amazing

                                        I would think you would need to show a place of residence, bank account and maybe a drivers license to fund a non US account. Remember, books make you jump through hoops when you got to make a withdrawal. I think it is to much trouble unless you are a professional or plan to bet a dime or more per game. 5 Dimes and Betphoenix still have 5 cent lines. Betmaker may improve since Matchbook is closed to US customers. Good Luck.

                                                    There was some other guy here talking about an exchange - unless this is the same thing - that never happened either.

                                                      I guess u got alot to say about these things but dont go into detail when people would like to hear the full story on how to still be able to use them. I even said PM private, oh well i guess u were building up points from posts. If u want points for this i will give them to u.

                                                            You have to go to most of these Countries to open accounts and show documents

                                                            Forget offshore bank accounts, almost impossible to get now unless you form an offshore coproration and that costs money
                                                            Canada,BMO,.....drivers license+ passport and you get an account...best is non-interest bearing and keep it under $10,000. Private, anonymous and completely legal if you know what you are doing. Yes, you do have to go there in person.

They may seed soccer too, but I'm not sure. You will not see much liquidity in the other stuff(NCAA, NBA futures, golf, MMA, etc) because of the loss of customers.
