As I am a former U.S. player I have been spending alot of time watching the news and patiently awaiting the return of online poker. I was wondering will I still be able to redeem my mobpoints?? I will no longer be able to put them on Fulltilt as I had been hoping. Not that it really matters to me. I love poker, and playing the game. I pl;an to blog about it regardless of whether or not I am able to still redeem my points. I would like any input on the subject though.

Hey hoodi: Have you ever tried to open a monebookers account or netteller ? I don`t know if Americans are allowed to do this, but this would be the easiest way I guess.

I don't believe Moneybooker's accepts americans as i believe the Feds have already went after them. I'm wondering about paypal.... I will have to do some more research.

hoodi, I opened a moneybookers account about a month ago and didn't have any issues. I have not attempted to transfer any money into the account, but I have my bank account routed through moneybookers and they show my account status whenever I log in so I'm sure they're accepting U.S. citizens unless something changed within the past two weeks. I will go on a doubble check just to make sure my account is still active and do a follow-up reply! Good Luck to All!

I think you can have MB account but only for non gaming purpose. So question is: is BRM gaming site? Admin, maybe you can clear that to all USA guys... Vest for you is to contact BRM support.

See I was told this by moneybookers when I tried to open an account. They do not allow transfers between any poker sites to Canadians and Anericans. You can open an account, but not to be used with online gaming of any sort. This could have changed, was about a month ago when I checked.......

You are right, US based players can not use Moneybookers as a deposit or withdrawal method from pokersites. It is written in the terms and conditions of theirs.

Your mob points should be okay, there is no reason not to recieve your mob points since bankrollmob is not related directly with a poker platform or a banned poker platform for us players. As for the moneybookers problem, gio is right. United States citizens can indeed create a moneybookers account and used it to pay or be paid from another moneybookers account ot credit card or bank account. But as said above, United States citizens that have a moneybookers account aren't allowed to deposit or withdraw money from a poker platforms or from other any gambling site. Also all non EU people can't have the moneybookers mastercard, which is a shame since it's such a usefull thing. Other than that you can use your moneybookers account as your paypal account for example.

So you're saying BankrollMob would be considered a "gambling" site? All I'm saying is by posting here I build up points, which I had planned to use to play poker online, not being able to do so at this time, i was wondering if i would be able to find a way to still cash them out as real maybe. I do also play live and my bankroll could use the help. As I mentioned before I am a poker freak, and will continue to play(live only it seems for now), and post here at the best damn poker forum there is BRM baby! Thanks for anyy and all input Mobsters!
