Getting around the US
Online Poker Ban is a lot easier than you might think!
The major things that the sites do to block american poker
players is block their IP Address (if it is coming from a
computer located in the United States) and make sure you
don't give them an American IP Address. So how can you get
around this? Just follow these 5 steps and you will be able
to paly on any poker site you want (and by doing so will
truly be a free citizen of the United States!).
Step 1: Go To
Canada411.Ca
Find someone with the same last name in either the
Ontario or Quebec province.
Step 2: Get Your New Address
Now that you have found someone with the same last name,
use their real addresses and phone numbers when creating
your gaming account information.
Step 3: IP Redirection
To redirect your IP address you will need to create an account at
findnot.com. Findnot.com is an IP address redirecting service that
will forward your US IP address through Canadian servers
located in Ontario and Quebec.
Step 4: Run the Findnot software
Before you log in to any poker sites, or payment processors
you will need to have the findnot software running. Once it
is installed and running, you will be able to log into your
favorite poker site. The reason it must be running before
you do anything is you will first need to connect to one of findnot's Canadian servers. Their servers are very fast and
you will hardly notice any difference from your current
connection.
Step 5: Signup With Neteller, Click2pay,
Epassporte Or Citadel
When creating accounts at one of the payment processors
above, use your real name and the Canadian address that you
found in step 2. Most poker sites don't verify your
information, so as long as it appears legit you shouldn't
have any problem. The US Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
makes it illegal for online gambling sites to accept
electronic fund transfers, however, you are free to deposit
money from your bank or credit card into a third party pay
processor such as Neteller, Click2pay, Epassporte or
Citadel.
Now you can play at the
easiest poker sites and all of the
best online poker sites!
