You\'ll not be allowed to play from a US ISP addy under any circumstan
I dont know if this has been mentioned, but I recieved the following inside an email from PP that you may wish to sticky:
With reference to your email, you can play PartyPoker.com from Hong-Kong, South Korea and Singapore but not from Thailand. As Thailand is considered a blocked country. As per the deposit option available in that period you will be able to make a deposit and play. Please be informed, Only if you are accessing the site from outside the United States then only you can play. If your PartyAccount is registered with a US address, you will not be able to place wagers on our sites, regardless of your location when accessing your account. If your registration does not properly reflect your address, you may contact customer service and, upon providing verification for your new address, your registered address can be changed.

Re: You\'ll not be allowed to play from a US ISP addy under any circumstan
So since I live near canadian border, I could get apartment there, change my address for party purposes and play there?
How about if I got the apartment for a bit in canada, changed address with party, then came back home to states and played through proxy? Would that work?

It is easy to go over and get a case of Brador and drink at 19 as a visitor, but getting premission to do "residency" things is very difficult.

Met,
Did PP want to call you in the foriegn country? Did they specify whether a PO box would work instead of an address? Did they ask to see your passport? Did they what kind of Visa/Residency you had? Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ] They seem to get pretty tough when you do your first withdrawal of more than your deposit total. That is where most people get caught. I guess then if you are losing player that works, but if you want to withdraw winnings you are going to need some documents to support your residency status. As posted in another reply though, the casual player will not go this extreme to play at Party, so unless you like the site a lot and want tougher games, follow the USA fish to whatever site will take them. I will meet you there.

The address I gave party was to a UPS store mail box and I've never had a problem.

There was something like 20 UPS stores in Toronto alone.

[/ QUOTE ] Technically he does not 'have' to get permission from Canada to 'do residencey'. All he has to do is provide evidence that party poker accepts as evidence as to him having a canadian address. Of course there is assumed risk if he is providing, say a photo copy of a utility bill that has whited out the acutal resident and had his name superimposed..but the canadian government does not have to notorize and put an official stamp/seal on the document for party poker to accept it.
