RBC has always treated me well

Wait, let me get this straight - you trust online poker sites with your money more than banks?

Which bank was it btw?

I don't leave significant sums of money in online Poker either. And when I don't play I just take it all out. Likewise I always have <$100 in a bank account. It was the National Bank of Canada. I don't think I will get any serious advice in here, just thought I'd put it out there.

Any Poker player would understand the whilingness to throw $100, $500, $1000 or more in a long shot to score more money that they have ever seen in their life. I did. I have been with my online bookie for 7 years (losing most of them) and finally went on a parlay winning streak that got me more money than I have ever seen in my life.

It is one of the major banks in Canada and I was surprised as a major is supposed to act objectively by the rules. If MasterCard is going to make money on online gaming transactions, who are they to tell me not to? It is not the bank's job to police the declaration of funds.

It is long but every bit of it is as informative and the other. Well explained and well illustrated.

Guy opens 2+2 account and immediately makes a thread about how he has tens of thousands of dollars. This seems legit.

Was it TD, OP? If it was I Cant say I'm surprised..

Just saw that it was National. That sucks man, hop you figure something out.

its a good trolling materal, that's all.

Vegasboy: The banks are the politicians organ grinders, they are the monkeys. However you do have recourse. Here is a step by step guide what to do under Canadian law. You should also charge them $20 a letter for your time. I imagine you're at Step 4 so you might want to skip forward a bit.

Step one

Communicate the problem or concern to your branch or service centre. A customer service representative will help you. Or, ask to speak with a supervisor or manager. Your first contact with the bank has information on the bank's complaint-handling process.

Step two

If the issue has not been resolved to your satisfaction, find out what to do next with your bank. In some cases, the next step is to contact a regional/area manager, local executive office or customer care/call centre. Ask a representative or manager at your branch/service centre for the number or address of who you should contact. Each bank has a brochure outlining the process for dealing with complaints, including contact numbers. Similar information is also available on the bank website. We have also provided some helpful phone numbers and web addresses below.

Step three

If the problem still can’t be settled to your satisfaction, involve your bank’s ombudsman. An ombudsman helps consumers resolve disputes with their bank. Also included below is a complete list of ombudsmen’s offices across Canada:

Step four (Sounds like where you are)

Independent ombudsman services
