Hi,

I live in the UK and have been playing poker for about a year online and nearly 2 years in total, I mainly play STT's & MTT's and am a middle of the road player, I want to move away from the current sites I use which have been good for me but I don't want to release my bankrolls from these sites until I know it is worth me doing.

I basically want to try my luck on PokerStars and FullTilt, so what I am proposing is that if any US based players would like to help me out by sending me alittle money (don't have to be much e.g. $20, $50 or $100) I can recipricate by offereing them access to some sites that have withdrawn from the US market. I could set up an account with UK details and even make deposits of the amounts that you have given me so that you have something to start from.

This is a legitimate proposal for anyone wishing to gain access to sites that have turned their backs on the US and that before the the unlawful internet gaming act of 2006 you may have used and been profitable on. I am a moderator and regular poster on www.ukpokertalk.co.uk and also post on PocketFives.

If anyone is interested or wants more information about this then please send me a PM

Many Thanks

Hi Da Goat,

Thanks for you're reply, I expected some sarcastic and sceptical comments about this post so I won't take you're comment to heart.

This is a serious offer and only open to a few people as I don't want to be creating accounts and depositing money allday long.

Many Thanks

It's very kind of you but since we don't know you from Adam, we're afraid we're going to have to pass.

Love,

OP, this doesn't pass the smell test. I think all you will get is goofy replies until you explain why you can't/won't deposit on these sites yourself. You didn't lose Neteller, we did. In addition, you're offering to 'set people up' on sites that it will be a super pain in the ass to get the money back out of. Why would anyone want that?

Hi drmcboy,

I expected goofy replies to be honest, but I thought there might be someone out there that is willing to take the risk since you probably know that without the americans on some of these sites the games have got looser.

On the neteller point, I have never used it on the sites I use, I deposit via my visa card and never needed to use neteller. there are various ways of depositing avaliable in the UK, some of which aint avaliable in the US.

As for getting the money out first you have to win some lol, seriously thou if there was any problems getting the money out then I would handle that for the person and just bank transfer it. I know it sounds dodgy and I wish now I hadn't posted it, but my intentions were atleast in the right place which I thought someone might appreciate abit of help getting back on sites they may have used in the past that no-longer accept US players, I use everest poker sometimes and that does not take US players, but it is a very good site for hold'em and has great reviews.

I accept that i'm unknown to all of you and accept the reasons for the sarcastic replies.

thanks for all you comments, guess it was a stupid idea but thought I would help some of you guys aswell as getting a footing for myself on the bigger sites.

good luck for the future.

I would also like to make a propostition.....

I will be collecting money for needy Sudanese families....if you pay me $1000 I will donate this money to Sudanese families who will then purchase land to farm with. In 1 year's time their crop will be full grown with a500% return to all investors. You can't lose money on this type of deal! Simply make your checks out to cash!

Trust me - its all good! Just trust me...

seems like a better deal than this toolbox!

I'm pretty sure this is the biggest obstacle to playing oversees. If it was as simple as someone else handling funds then everyone with a friend, that they trust, overseas would be playing on Party and OnGame.

 wow, he's even too stupid to know how do douche people propely. At least the Somalian government email phishing scams are 'almost" believable. The least you could do is come up with a much more beleivable avatar, not some fag wearing sunglasses pretending to be from MiB.

And as for being the mod of a 3 member forum, credentials like that must be hard to come by?

Crikey I forgot all about this post, thanks Trainer_jyms for your response, being called stupid and a fag really makes my day, the picture is actually me and unfortunately I don't work for MiB (that would be a far cooler job than mine).

Reading back the post it was pretty dumb to post it but it was legitimate at the time, I play on stars and tilt now so obv the offer is not still open (not that anyone wanted it at the time anyway lol).

Good luck on the virtual felt.
