Default Setting up a Danish Bank Acct for funding Poker site

Since Denmark has ruled poker a game of skill (see http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/article/9355 ), can anyone with a Danish bank account legally & easily transfer funds to and from that bank account to various poker sites?

If so, could an American set up a Danish bank account and use it to legally transfer funds to and from that account to the poker sites they play on?

Then, transfer money from the Danish bank account to an American bank account legally?

Am I missing something? It doesn't appear I would be breaking any laws in either country.

I wanted to quote this post without comment because I really do think the OP's question is spot on. But...It really does seem like the tide is turning in our favor (albiet Danish).

Then again, it would appear that the DOJ/USAO is the final decider of what is and what isn't "acceptable."

There is no law in Denmark forbidding you to transfer money from your bank account to poker sites. The recent ruling specifically has to do with organizing live tournament poker events.
