Taking a page from the USA book of narrow interests, european countries are now trying to protect their pet online gambling projects by restricting those of other nations. Fun stuff, greed is a wonderous thing my friends.
Now Irish banks are starting to check their mortgage applicants’ banking records and are deny those who show banking activity involving online gambling. Pretty Orwellian. Europeans and other non-US players can avoid this type of tyranny by using a third party payment processor. One of the most popular of these is MoneyBookers. With over 6.5 million users, they are well established and guard your privacy for you. Most poker sites accept MoneyBookers and tranactions are instant.
It is sad that we all have to hide from tyrants and greed mongers to play a little 5ct/10ct poker from home when its convenint to us, but such is the state of the world of evil corporate greed and bought “public” servants. A laughable misnomer that stopped being funny some time ago.
