Alternative Payment Methods.....

[Izzy Vega]

Well seems this forum came to agree that any speculation about online poker after the regulations are released is just that, speculation.

But I feel it would be wise to discuss alternative payment methods.

Once the regulations are in place western union, e-wallets, bank wire transfers, bank drafts, and any other forms of electronic payments will become more difficult.

But what about money orders, cashier checks, personal checks, money orders, and gift credit cards? Interested in any observation, insight or opinions.

Do we all agree that online poker is a big enough market that online poker rooms will continue to offer poker to US residents?

And what about the more distant future of online poker? One year or two years from now? Will the status quo remain? Or will the UIGEA continue to erode online poker?

Those of you making a living from online poker, do you feel confident you will be able to continue make a living from online poker or are you job hunting?

Lastly, Does anyone have any knowledge on opening up a foreign bank account?
-Do you need a passport?
-What is the min. deposit?
-Is there a credit check? etc.....

THANKS! /images/graemlins/confused.gif

What is everyones deal!!! Seriously, does this forum not no enough about the UIGEA to make educated determenations on possible deposit and withdraw options that will be available?
Is there anyone really making a living off of online poker? Are you not concerned what online poker will be like after July 11th?
Seems to me if any of you were truly making a living from poker you would be more concerned with how to continue to produce a income after July 11th! Im sweating balls!!!

Hey Izzy, check the archives.

Most of us have already made our "regulation" guesses and are tired of repeating them. They will remain mere guesses until we see the actual regs.

The archives have a long thread on foreign bank accounts too.

Every single one of your questions/speculations has been asked, answered, and/or thoroughly discussed. In some cases, many, many times. Have you visited the Zoo like I suggested?
