    I'm not usually a sucker for bs but a co-worker tells me he is able to play on the euro sites by using a relative's address (who lives in Canada) for his account. I've never even thought of that but I don't know if it's believable. I was under the impression if you had an American ip address you were blocked. Anyone from Europe or Canada that could chime in here would greatly be appreciated. When you visit Vegas for the WSOP or whatever are you able to play on party, titan, betfair, etc.. ? Thoughts?

    Yeah, I know about proxy servers and such but wouldn't that still present a financial problem for a US based player? Your banking information is still American. If you're cashing out, where's that check going. Is it really possible for a US player to get an Canadian ip address (via proxy), Canadian bank account, and like a Canadian PO box? That seems pretty freaking wild but I guess it could work. I really never put much thought in to it before... people in Minnesota may have to look in to this.

    i don't know that much about computers, but i would think you would need your relative/friend to set the account up in their name, verify the account, link it to their checking account.... then use an ip masking site (don't know if they can tell your doing that) or maybe use a program like PC anywhere.. they would have to handle all the transactions thru their account.... gl

    Alternative nr 2 is to have a relative/friend in another country, and run that computer from ur, dont know what to use, but its possible to do that too, I did that first, but my computers where too slow for it. Remote control-something.
