I'm going to stay with a friend in Canada for two weeks, can I play on Party Poker while I'm there?

Sry if this is a repeat post, I tried searching first.

Party poker is allowed in Canada. As long as your account doesn't show a US address, you should be okay

I'm guessing its against Party Poker Rules to use my friends address in canada as my address? Do I need a Canadian bank to deposit? What's keeping people from setting things up in Canada and playing from America?

i dont know colms. i wonder the same thing myself. i think that if you have a friend in canada who is completely trustworthy you could prbly set up some kind of arrangement as far as the money end of it is concerned. i guess it really just depends on how far you are willing to go.

How about someone forming a legal corporation in Canada and hiring American players to play Canadian accounts? Possible?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Set up some kind of proxy service for americans.

On another note, how difficult is it for a US Citizen to go to Canada and get a canadian ID and bank account?

That's possible although there are probably legal issues. Canada, being a 1st world country that respects the rule of law, probably wouldn't allow it.

Go the Computer Technical Help forum and ask this question and you will get more help.

It's easy if you move here.
You're not getting a DL, utility bill or other important ID otherwise.
Identity theft being an issue, you'd have to apply in person with mega-ID to get a bank account.

Party, Paradise, Pinnacle and others block ALL USA IP addresses.

Some players (and if they're smart they don't talk about it) use foreign proxy servers. There's hoop-jumping, cost, inconvenience and risks involved.
