meanwhile in China http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTY1Nj...rom=s1.8-1-1.2

Anybody here had experience of uploading money from China-issued VISA/Mastercard to Skrill? Is it even possible guys?

Bored of my current groups in wexhat, PM or post wechat names here I will start a group

I am on my way for a few days Macau. Incredible how expensive that place is.

I wouldnt mind playing some poker (winning PS 200z reg) but not more than $USD200nl. Any recommandations?

Bet on Red on roulette

Never been to Macau but I was in hk couple week ago, it is very expensive. But I'd like to move there

Run a constant ping to pokerstars.com - for some reason this helps ensure a more reliable connection

if you think it could be intentional blocking clear your dns cache and renew ip info

and yes that actually is a thing - ip's that access too much "questionable content" will be put on naughty lists and given less priority for bandwidth and sometimes even literally given a timeout - was a huge way of warning people back in the days when google was unblocked - too many questionable search topics and your internet speed would slow down to a crawl for about 15 minutes

Hey guys - new here, and have a question.

I'm pretty frustrated. I was so excited to find out that living in China allows me to play online poker again (I'm an American). Pokerstars confirmed I can play, and I assume that means Full Tilt as well, since they're officially merged, and sharing their player pools.

Well, I got my Neteller account setup, only to find out that China doesn't have access to that particular deposit method, so I setup an EntroPay account. My deposit was declined, and PS is requesting proof of my residency, which I DON'T HAVE. I've been here 18 months, but have never had a job - my wife lets me do my freelance artwork as a small income. I don't have a landline phone (who does?), health insurance (I did get a full physical late last year), apartment lease/deed (we live in my wife's apartment, which she owned before we met), electric or utility bill, etc etc.

I offered to send them a photo of my visa and passport stamps, but they never actually respond to that part. They just email me what they accept, which I understand - but I don't have that stuff!


Anyway, now I have no idea what to do. I'm studying, and I can watch the micro tables, tagging fish and what not, but that's hardly getting any real practice in. I'm going to try 888 soon.

I also can't play American sites like Bovada, because they said I'm in a country that they don't support. PartyPoker gave me a message that they don't operate in China.


As a last resort, I said I'd paypal my wife some money and she could start an account on Pokerstars for me, but she said "I accept that you play poker, but I can't support it.".

Ugh.

I'm not sure of the legality, but does anyone know if there's someone I could Paypal or transfer money to, who could setup an account for me? I guess that could pose some difficulties and/or trust issues, but it's the only thing I can think of at this point.

Alternatively, does anyone have another idea? Get a landline? Get a job? Ha!

Thanks

Last time I was in China people would put money on by purchasing a transfer on taobao. Not sure if that is still offered and I don't think any of them ever cashed out.

No Taobao...

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.

You are able to play for real money from China using an assortment of deposit options. If you would like to change your account registered country to China, please send a request to security@starsaccount.com

Chinese deposit options are: Credit & Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard), Prepaid Virtual Visa (AstroPay, EntroPay), Online Wallet WebMoney

Oh, and I registered under Australia because I wasn't paying attention and was connected to Melbourne via my VPN. Internet here...sheesh.

Just write your name on the lease agreement and send it to them.

Do you have a Chinese bank account in your name?

I got refused this when trying for full tilt.

You won't find an easier option than taobao if that's still available.

This forum have p2p transfer/exchange right?why don't use that?..you transfer to them first and they sent you Stars credit (careful,some are scammers)..good luck!

Ps. But they don't accept PayPal(because it can be reversed)

Does anyone have a download link for PS? I'm going to try to play a little bit this month, but the update won't finish (seriously, have been trying for months..) and I had no luck on the official website or any of the results that baidu gave me.

Also, add me to the wechat group please! sn is: adambob123

I finally got the wechat pay setup and working... if someone is OK to swap like $30 or something on here to test it out I can send first to reputable posters on neteller or skrill... PM me.

If you want you can add me on wechat and send on PS? I don't have either of those

Try on P2P thread or you can private message a poster named Aguskb..he will receive trade Skrill for PStars..and he's very well known and respected poster

*The player to player transfer thread

Just started today in Beijing - First leg of the Asia Poker League - Main Event is 1K Buy -In with a $500k prizepool Gtd http://somuchpoker.com/asian-poker-l...beijing-china/

They were advertising this in manila as well. Hope it goes better than the Nanjing event.

woah wtf, I was actually hired to review that place by a local expat mag (editor knew me me and knew I was a poker player) when they first opened up and it was sad **** where you bought in with cash but then could only earn points with winning and that stuff could eventually go towards an ipad or something.

Jesus wish I knew about this tourney this morning, will pm you kaiwall we should get a beer tonight.

There was a place in Guangzhou with a similar system. There was also conveniently a super sketchy dude who would "buy" your points for direct cash value minus a fee. What a coincidence!

They somehow managed to make the thing even sketchier by later selling gas cards which you'd then sell to the sketchy guy who would then sell to taxi drivers. Fun times in China.

I will be at the event all week - so feel free to ask me any question about it or come to say hello
