    Letter from RBC (Canadian bank) re: online poker

    Letter from RBC (Canadian bank) re: online poker


    I just got this letter from RBC

    We are writing this letter to set out certain operational restrictions with respect to your accounts at RBC Royal Bank. As a federally-regulated financial institution, RBC is required by law to operate within defined regulatory parameters, and has accordingly created and implemented certain policies and procedures to ensure that these restrictions and regulatory expectations are observed. One of these policy requirements restricts the use of RBC accounts to facilitate online or Internet gambling. In light of these requirements, please do not use RBC accounts in connection with online gambling activities.

    Please understand that our concerns with repect to the use of your RBC accounts are serious. If you continue to use your RBC accounts in connection with online gambling activities, we may have to exit our banking relationship with you.

    Surprised, I have not seen this with CIBC. Love to know why the bank cares about gambling with your money.
