Default Re: Does Pokerstars have the right to take money out of my account?

[ QUOTE ]


It is extraordinary to believe that any country in the world (let alone the Isle of Man!) would consider a poker site to be a bank and therefore subject to international banking conventions.

It is extraordinary to believe that banking conventions governing withdrawal mandates, which apply to <u>banks</u> and banks only, would apply to accounts with non-bank organisations.



[/ QUOTE ]Funnily enough Josem you couldn't be further from reality there. If anywhere was going to treat Stars like a bank it would be the Isle of Man. It's for exactly that reason that online gaming failed first time around there, they tried to apply banking regulations to online gaming. Thankfully they now have their heads out of their arses, but for a long while..........
