I have a question about this. If a person already has a bank account in the UK - would it still be required to have a bill in their name? Are the sites requiring this for withdrawals? My husband has a UK account and can get my name added to it. We will be in the UK in 2 weeks - but only for 10 days. We have an address we can use - but obviously won't be there long enough to establish any kind of acct and have a bill sent to it.
Also - should he temporarily change the address at the bank to a UK address until the withdrawal has been done?
-thanks!
Email Stars. If you are supernova+ I think there's a special VIP email? I'm not supernova on Stars anymore so not sure but even if you're not they should respond to an email and they will be able to tell you exactly what you need.
It is my understanding that you need a bill and a bank account there. If you're going there in 2 weeks and will be there for 10 days I would right now change some bills to that address (and off online statements if you're anything like me). You have 24 days that means for at least one bill to be sent there and get it. I don't think that should be a problem. But like I said this is all my understanding and
pokerstars will obviously tell you 100% exactly what you need. Also realize that there are now a million people trying to fake this info so they are going to be super dilligent to make sure you are in that country and will probably need more info to prove it than they usually do. That said I think a bank statement and seperate bill both with your name and that foreign address I believe will be enough to cashout to that UK bank.
In fact, if you sign up for a new account with a bogus Canadian address, you should have no issue transferring your money from your old US account to your new Canadian account.
This would work really well if transfers from US accounts were allowed. The first thing I did when I found out about the seizing was transfer my entire balance in my account to a friend outside the country. It's now back in my account, the transfer was declined. Also I would definitely avoid violating the TOS of the sites especially atm if you are US because they will likely be enforcing them very strictly seeing as they clearly are trying to comply with the US gov't. This includes creating 2nd accounts, chip dumping, or anything else that is against the TOS of the
poker sites. It's likely now that you will eventually see your money but if they catch you violating the TOS it's likely they will confiscate your entire
bankroll and that's just not worth it.
