Re: PokerRoom refuses to cashout US player
The above post by Pokerroom contains a lot of BS. I used to play there and liked the site, I never will again.
Any suggestion that they would be breaking a law by sending an american money in their account is completely wrong as far as legality (as opposed to practicality or expense) is concerned.
They may not be able to get a US processor for funds, true.
But look at it this way: I have friends in Denmark. Sometimes we do business for each other. When we owe each other money we write each other checks drawn on our home accounts. I take the check to my US bank and deposit it. It takes forever to clear and there is a currency exchange loss, but it clears.
There is absolutely no legal reason Pokerroom could not do the same. None. Zero.
