hello & thank you for advice!

i would like to play in live cash games around the world, but how do i get cash back to my usa bank account instead of carrying large sums?

atm cash deposit doesn't seem possible, international wire transfer doesn't seem possible i would just be a rando walking into a foreign bank without an account with them, western union cash option isn't available in certain places i want to go, ditto for crypto atms....

am i missing anything? or do i just need to carry the cash? thank you

Thats exactly what you do.

It takes some homework .. but you should contact each room you plan to play in and ask what options are available. These types of transactions are becoming easier and easier, especially if you set things up ahead of time .. just be prepared for the fees involved.

There should be no issue for 'some Rando' to walk into a bank and proceed through a legitimate transaction. You will probably be sent to a table instead of a window, but that is what those folks are there for each day! Just be prepared for it to take some time, UNLESS you call ahead and prepare them. Randos aren't Rando if they call ahead!

In a 'win all' scenario you send a bunch of funds to a willing casino and then convert them to chips. Once you are ready to move on with your trip, convert them to cash and go onto the next location. It's possible that you may have to back track your funds and then resend them to the next location is there's no way they can be forwarded.

There are US casinos that are now directly linked to a Player's bank account and then withdraws can take place at the cage .. just like a bank window. GL
