Default Re: Brainstorming: Ways Around the Internet Ban

Hello,

I had this simple idea that might be stupid, but who knows...

Say you want to deposit $500 on an online Poker Room but your U.S. bank won't let you.

How about you send that money to someone who does not live in the U.S., though Paypal for eample, and then that person transfers that money back to you on the poker room itself? (At least Pokerstars and Party allow you to do that) I think I see how a website could be set up to connect players who want to deposit and others who want to help.

Non-U.S. players could help U.S. players this way. Obviously, there's the trust issue, but that didn't stop Ebay from working.

Maybe as an incentive players who help make the deposit can retain à $5 flat fee or something similar?

Thoughts?
