i went to get the aforementioned western union wire from betroyal, see all about this in "bonus issues - withdrawing with sticky bonus", and they (at money mart/cheque cashing place) said given the size of the request they had to ask what it was for etc. so i had to admit it was from gambling and that i did not personally know the sender (girl spelled "know" as "no" on her little post-it) and then she went and called someone for ten minutes or so, and came back to tell me they can't process it because gambling online is illegal in canada. wtf! so now i gotta figure out some way to sidestep this, which means more weeks to get my money. just a heads up to beware using western union for withdrawals, fellow canadians. this blows hard! it is not illegal, ffs, i hate america! so i gotta go sort this with betroyal now. on the plus side i did get out and get my betta fish and a hair cut as well. but now i'm flippin poor. i hate having all my money tied up like this. and now to find out that it is supposedly illegal to be gambling at all... oy vey!
edit: plus the money mart and also wu now have all my personal info and a heads up that i gamble. i sense suckage in the future. and fwiw i actually did the physical gambling back when neteller was open to canadians so i think these cashouts in any event are still legitimate (ie not proceeds from committing the "crime" of gambling). it just gets rougher and rougher. dammit
