Question about hong kong bank and moneybookers

[Jinx]

Kinda of a specific question, but does anyone know if you can use a hong kong bank to upload money for gambling to moneybookers? Also, does anyone know if hong kong banks let you wire money to gambling websites?

I am not sure where you are located (because your profile does not show it) but I am guessing you either live in HK or plan to go there at some time in the near future. If either is the case perhaps you can just pop over to Macao (50 minutes by Turbo Jet) and open up a bank account there. Since Macao is the gambling capital of Asia I am sure there is no issue with bank transfers for gambling purposes. Just my 2 cents.

hmmm, interesting. I was looking at the HSBC ones, and I think the singapore one would do very well for gambling purposes, since I think the HK one is shady since gambling is illegal there unless you gamble through the government sanctioned thing.

But, Macau does sound like an option.

Over the years,I have had numerous credit cards. Only twice, have I been the subject of credit card fraud. Each time it was
with my HSBC credit card. Although both cases were obviously bogus the folks and HSBC were bloody murder to work with. They
acted as if they were on the crooks side, not mine.
This is only my personal experience with a very large bank, so take this with a grain of salt. There may be better places to do business with and you should consider other options than HSBC.
