Si, and SlickDonkey talk to Abraham at Bancomer near McDonald's and he will set you up with a USD account...at least, I got one in December but maybe things are different in 2012

Sorry I thought you said you were in Cabo but I see now that you didn't say where you are. Anyways, if you are, the directions above apply and if not, find a Bancomer near you with someone who is the preferred client person/manager who speaks English and you should be set.

Instead of moving to Mexico, couldn't you just rent a cheap apartment in a border town, get an internet connection, set up a virtual server and play from the US (assuming you aren't too worried about legalities)? Is there any technical problem with this?

teamviewer, yea. but not a single person is doing that.

the euro sites don't even care if you VPN or teamview or anything

Managed to get my first wire transfer cashout this past week. Wire came very fast, and I withdrew the money from Bancomer in US$ with no problems. Not sure on how much I got charged in fees, I think about $30.

supposing you make more than your living expenses, is there a reason to send MB $ to Mexican bank instead of an offshore bank (where you would def have no problem getting accounts in whatever currency you want)?
