Maybe something along those lines in Canada?

I called them and they said they are not allowed to accept Canadian ************ in the past few days.So they stopped dealing with Canadians.On the SBR site they are listed as having no nationality restrictions.What about Americans?Is the SBR site wrong? Originally Posted by Hareeba!

that's a pretty poor excuse - surely there are alternative funding methods they could accept .... Moneybookers? Originally Posted by fido007

Dear ########
It has come to our attention that you are using a Canadian bank card. In accordance with Canadian law we will now be unable to take bets from Canada. Due to this, we will unfortunately have to block your debit/CC and in turn close your account. You will still be able to withdraw any outstanding funds from your account for the next seven days. Please contact our support team if you require any assistance.
From 12pm GMT (Monday 14th February 2011), we will no longer be able to accept payments from Canadian sources.
We appreciate your custom and hope that your experience with paddypower.com was an enjoyable one. If you have any questions about this decision or your account in general please feel free to contact our Customer Service team using the details below.
