Poker Funds Transfer Service?

[PokerTransfers]

Hi All,

So a friend and I are looking to start up a business where we will be able to provide a service allowing people to transfer money across poker sites. Not being in the US, we can move money across sites fairly easily and believe there would be a lot of demand for such a service, especially among US players who cannot move money around so easily anymore.

We’d appreciate any feedback, especially reasons why this will not work.


Kind Regards,

Okay, well I feel like this is spam. Regardless, it seems like a great idea. Lastly, I dunno, who will give you money if they don't know you.

Prepare to go to jail for money laundering.

We're not trying to spam at all. Just trying to offer our services if it's actually viable.

Obviously trust will be a big issue, however hopefully with time we'll be able to gain trust through good business and word of mouth.


Kind Regards,

One other issue that we are concerned about: Would the poker rooms actually have any problems with us doing this?

Didn't someone called Neteller have this idea first?

I think people would be very, very suspicious about this. It would be very easy to operate legitimately for a few months, build up a reputation, then disappear with six or seven figures.

Find a way to contact some of the higher-ups at various sites and see if they would be ok with your idea.

You will eventually transfer scammers (Credit card theft and chip dumpers) money then the poker site will freeze and seize all your money.

dont know what the legal situation is in america, but can imagine there would be a market outside the US- neteller is already suitable for doing it. Seeing as there as huge issues with neteller in the states, you will probably run into lots of legal problems over there

If you decide to do this, I hope you never plan on visiting the US.
