"I don't know why I just couldn't mail them a check if need be. I don't think my bank could refuse to honor it. Or open an account in a U.S. branch of the Bank of Ireland or whatever and do a direct transfer. Gotta be a way to do it."
Easiest way to do it is to open an account with Neteller (basically an offshore bank account - all the legitimate gaming sites accept it). I've been playing online for years and have never had a problem with them. pm me if you need more info.
Yeah, I'm already using neteller. I don't see how they can interfere with that. Is this another "get excited" moment where they don't actually have the technical means to disrupt the ability of Americans to play off-shore poker?
