Some days ago in Russian community appeared an idea to sell Russian ftp and ps accounts to US players. Poker player should use a proxy for playing on these accounts. A conclusion of means will be implement through the Russian online payment systems with the following transfer to your accounts in US. There will be 10% commission for the conclusion of means. The opinions were divided in community. Some people consider it illegal. So I created this post to hear your opinions.

The DOJ would consider that monkey laundering.

Terrible idea

American players would have to trust that some total stranger who has already proven willing to break sites' TOS (and possibly money laundering laws) would not give in to the temptation to steal their entire balance.

Much easier for an American to open their own account overseas. They'd still run the risk of getting banned when they got caught playing from the States, but at least they wouldn't get robbed before then.

Shouldn't be any different than trusting an agent for italin sites. Just find a trusted person, and it should work imo. Of course i heard FTP/Stars detecting VPN, so i am not sure about this. But if you have a friend living somewhere(good friend), then its exactly what they can do. And this can work for euro sites as well.

Ive thought about this. I've used webmoney before, the main problem is there's no direct way to get money in or out, you have to use a exchanger who is probably gonna charge 5-10% fee. It can't be that hard for someone to forge a russian passport and sell it, lol.

Imagine drinking toilet duck in the great alcohol prohibition. Then you come close to how stupid this idea is.
