There is nothing going on in the Canadian parliament to suggest that they are interested in making poker illegal. Our Prime Minister is a libertarian conservative and government has said time and time again that they have no interest in online gaming legislation (a lot of sites are hosted in Canada on the Indian reserves which would cause legal hassle there too).

I'm fairly certain that the US DoJ has laid down the gauntlet telling the online payment processors to pull out of Canada as well in exchange for some leniency. Why the US can dictate how a foreign company operates in a foreign country is beyond me.

People still actually think that Harper is a libertarian?

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.

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'm told, although I have never checked this out, that many Canadian banks are subsidiaries, or are associated with major American Banks. I know that certain non-US Gaming operators accidentally banned a number of Canadian BIN numbers that appeared to be american credit cards.

If so, I think this is much more likely NETeller wanting to have nothing whatsoever to do with gaming transactions in any way involving American Banks.

Anyone know much about the ownership of the major candian banks? Is there any basis for such speculation?
