I wouldn't have to pay Irish taxes as a canadian national living there right?

Are there sources/reasons to assume for this (except the dailymail aticle lately)?

Any thoughts on Greece ?

One thing i am not seeing enough of is... The different visa requirements per country.

Also how hard is it to survive in say costa rica /Dominican Republic / Bulgaria with just english.

Ireland does have a lot of pros but a lot of cons also.
Rent is expensive here. You definitely do not get value (especially in Dublin)
The weather is bad. Come on.. we don't even have a summer.

They just need to purchase an umbrella and they'll be grand sure.

Also London is nice and vibrant but you need Arabic or at least Pakistani to get by.

Isn't Mexico the easiest option for someone currently living in the US? Potentially you could just pack and drive there, no? What goes into something like that as far as visa and banking.

idk, maybe its different if you're an old bitter man but most women i meet are not thrown off by the fact that i play poker for a living at all.

what gives poker players the right to avoid paying what everyone else does is the LAW my friend. and i for one do not care for any laymen that think of me as a scumbag (which again is a broad generalization, something you seem to be quite fond of).

it seems to be very relevant to you what the average joe thinks of you. DUCY this is not the case for every person? and i have plenty of friends outside of poker, you really should stop with these ridiculous statements.

and its classed as non-taxable income for fulltime players in several countries you hypocrite. now gtfo and let people discuss whats on topic here and make your own thread if you want to discuss this further.

interested in this. except maybe replace bulgaria with panama. and mainly the visa thing.

Looks like bumpnrun is mad at poker players for taking his monies XD

no where is safe lol, id say malta or somewhere ha, andorra yeah! fine there bro

Good choice

Anybody saying Canada haven't been outside Canada

some serious derailment in this thread.


winnings are taxed at pokerstars and fulltilt, anything over 100euros per day is taxed 15%, if it is over 500e then the tax is 20%.
(and no, losses from previous days aren't deducted)
whatever tax applies is taken immediately from your balance by stars/ft the next day.

the rest of the regulated companies don't apply any tax on players' winnings, but there are many sites where you can't (legally) play anymore (party, 888, winamax, ps.fr to name a few)

someone has to support the left liberal voting base that has no income source except for the government, so they can sit around and have more kids, who most likely will grow up like their parents.

I yelled at him for derailing the thread and he promised not to post but now he is PMing me.

where's the bitter one gone?

I pay 'rip off the foreigner tax' whilst in Thailand.

And when I go back to Edinburgh I pay weather tax.

But no income tax! weeeeee

I don't know if this is a unpopular opinion, but if you have to move to a country with low costs of living to make your poker profitable: don't.

You're leaving everything behind to play a card game for a living, a game that is rapidly declining in popularity. Unless you make a very good living and some more out of it: my advice would be to not move.

haha the bitterness is strong in that one

Agree to a certain extend, but if you're young with no real commitments and want to do some travelling and are making money at poker then it's a good way of funding a few years travelling. As long as you know when it's time to call it a day and think about a proper career.

In this way, totally agree.

Thanks.

Montreal, Canada

cost of living is cheap in Quebec!

/thread

What about islands in the pacific? Like New Caledonia, Tahiti, or British Samoa. Any info on them?

First, for American's we don't have an option to play online and stay. So we have to move. Second, I am old guy here (49) with a pension so cheaper is always better. Same goes if you have to live off poker winnings. The less you have to live off the faster your bankroll grows and the faster you go up in stakes. Third, I was in the Navy so I know travel is fun. Lots of the places mentioned here are just plain fun to go to. And lastly, I think lots of the guys just want to go somewhere there are cheap and easy women. And I am totally down with that.

Absolutely, that's why Canada is a terrible choice, not to mention the weather. Come to Thailand!
