Canadians- losing Citadel and Neteller

[R*R]

As of early April 2007 no more poker transactions on Neteller or
Citadel for Canadians. Does anyone know why?
Also what are you US players using now?

I'm Canadian and just got off the phone with them. They only send cheques, only in euros, and they take 1-2 weeks to arrive with a $5CDN service charge each time.
They seem legit enough, I wouldn't be worried about money disappearing.

Actually what's really on my mind now is; is neteller going to start freezing Canadians funds who try to withdraw before the April 9 ban? Any Canadians withdraw recently and have problems? Or is everything just fine? Canadians plz respond.

I cashed out about 15k the day after the e-mail. The money made it in my account the next day as usual. In retrospect though, I think I'd feel safer going through a poker site.

There is still epassport... and PStars has an echeque option now. Apparently, you need to give your DL number and SIN number to use it... I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[ClockWyze]

Correct me if I'm wrong. But don't you have to give your SIN number to use neteller?

The Criminal Code of Canada?

Matters of gaming, betting and prostitution are dealt with in Part VII . The big questions are of (priority of) enforcement, and (jursidiction, or) enforceability. Certain poster(s) have suggested the environment in Canada is changing and authorities are beginning to take this matter more seriously. I would guess Neteller, already stung by the US DOJ, isn't particularly enthusiastic with the threat of facing DOJ Canada.
