Looks like the Great White North is next:

Hello

We are writting you to ask for your support in recent events that has occured with many canadian players.We have hired Mr.Adam Atlas to represent us and we need the gaming industry's assistance to help us find others like us who have been denied banking services because of online gambling.Most if not all of us have had our bank accounts closed becuase we have used services such as neteller and firepay to deposit and casinos have wired us winnings.

Canadian banks are using USA legislation to block our gaming activities.We need to get enough support to present a case to the Supreme court of Canada to rule on this issue.

Mr.Adam Atlas has successfully won on behalf of USEMYBANK against Scotiabank and we feel that we can successfully win a class action status once we identify more people with this same issue.

Please read COMPETITION TRIBUNAL IN THE MATTER OF IN THE MATTER OF AND IN THE MATTER OF B-FILER INC., B-FILER INC. doing business as to see how the Canadian laws are at this time.

We kindly ask that you place a link from your website to our website and a brief outline of our mission to show your support for our fight.Unfortunately it is not possible for us to show any gaming links on the website home page but we hope to find a correct legal way to acknowledge our supporters while still meeting yahoo and google guidelines.

Kind Regards

Gina Deboer

i am ready to withdraw my money from my Neteller.
will the neteller cheque be cashable at my TD bank?

TD will cash it, Neteller is based in Calgary I beleive so I think it may even be a canadian check they will send.

Well, I live in in Nova Scotia, we just started this week accepting Visa/Mastercard on our Provincial Gamlbling site, this site includes games of chance, lottery and sports betting etc.

Not sure what to make of this.

Here is the site....alc.ca

oh ya it is called playsphere.

Maybe it will be ok for us to blow our money only locally know, which is the big picture in the USA....

Best of luck for all down south.

Anyone wanna start a bail fund for me?

OLGC has no online games.
I remember that Ontario Government said no interest in online gaming.

All kidding aside, any Canadian members who would like to write/phone/visit (or all three) their MP's can find all the contact info here via their postal code.

Senators and Members - House of Commons

It's about a third of the way down the page, punch in your postal code and voila! My MP is Alan Tonks, and I'm emailing his office right now. Phone calls will be next, and his office is only about ten minutes from my house, but I need to find out when he will actually be there. Pretty sad, I've done so much research into the US situation, I don't even know when they're "in session" in Ottawa, and when they're home. Back to the drawing board.

It's worth at least one email on everyone's behalf here to at least find out where your MP stands on this issue.
