Do you think 2 years is a reasonable time frame for this challenge

Things are still in transit right now waiting on another cash out attempt. I am thinking about just making a deposit myself onto PStars and moving forward. Then once my party cash out finally goes through I just keep it instead of depositing it. It would basically be the same thing but it would get things going again. be cool

Hey Ronin if your going to deposit at stars then you should do it before their promo runs out. deposit with the code MEGABONUS and you get some free cash, with no restrictions. You could actually get up to $100K for free.

It looks like that things with online gambling gets worst everywhere as the time goes. And the funny thing is that at some point after black friday many players moved in canada to be ably and play.
You should all take your cash and come to Mauritius, you'll never have online gambling law issues here and don't forget we have wonderful beaches and our local dishes are pretty cheap

i am thinking about withdrawing my $0 bankroll (if it's not against Lithuanian law) and swimming straight to Mauritius. i'm pretty sure i would be able to successfully relaunch my poker career over there, and also expand my "Pochui's Balls Shaving Stand" franchise on the island.

Well there is no such a problem in Mauritius now But you never can be so sure about it. Recent example is Canada. How long ago was, that canadians were saying come to canada we dont have any gambling laws, it is free

Who is telling you that we have laws against gambling and to my knowledge Canadians never invited peoples to move in here because of that. I made two withdrawals from Party Poker directly to my bank in the last month without problem. I also made three deposits to PokerStars in the last three weeks directly from my bank again and no problem.
So the Ronin's problem IMO is not a Canadian problem but pretty sure its is credit union the problem.

I think pinotte is correct. I also believe that I am having these problems because I am dealing with a credit union. I know others who deal with BMO and they are not having any problems. I am looking into switching my banking from the credit union to another bank. Planning on making a deposit this week and then the challenge will begin again.
Ahhh that's good news but I would like to know if you will deposit $75 which is the starting amount you planned or deposit where you left at PP that is $95.67 if I'm right?

i think the only real solution for solving this problem is to take matter in your hands- you should head to party poker hq and demand a cashout in the form of cold hard cash, then take that money and visit the hq of pokerstars and give them that money as a deposit. no nonsense with digital cash, processing, transfers etc. just give em the real deal- the real toilet paper.

pinotte i have seen canadians, say come to canada after the black friday for that im 100% sure. But that aint that important. Dont you have problems with online payments like skrill and netteler, or im wrong.
And what ronin is saying here? :
I have rechecked the information given to them and it is correct. Contacted my credit union and have been informed that due to NEW Canadian banking laws which have been passed by our Fracking government they are no longer legally allowed to accept direct deposits from online gambling sites.
So its a banking law ?

Listen Mober Yes skrill and netteler do no business in Canada why i dont know. Now read my post and i am telling you that i had made 2 transactions on Party Poker and 3 PokerStars directly from and to my bank. Also read Ronin last post he is saying that some peoples he know do not have problem with their bank and it is probably because he is dealing with a credit union instead of the Canadian large bank. If it was banking law my bank would have refused the transactions i made.

Ok I have had enough of Party Poker. I have decided to just make a deposit into my PokerStars account and move forward with the challenge. I asked my friend to pick me up two Ukash tickets for $30 each so I could take advantage of the MEGABONUS promo which PStars is running right now. Well he went to the store and they told him they did not offer $30 tickets so told the clerk I needed $30 UKASH tickets so they sold him two $15 tickets to make up $30. I am pissed about this because it did not allow me to get the bonus promo deal, and I had to pay for 2 UKASH tickets. So I spent $34 CND to get 2 useless $15 ukash tickets. I deposited them both at a rate of $11.19 US each. So I am starting the challenge again today on PStars with just $22.38
Current Bankroll is now 22.38
Going to play some poker and will update you all later.

bowie I agree with you 100% amigo. I did not start with the bankroll I wanted but I decide to just make do with what I had and do my best to build up my bankroll. I played 2 poker sessions today and they were both positive sessions.
My new bankroll total is now 39.67
Tomorrow I am hoping to continue to build my bankroll upward by playing a couple more long grind sessions. Today I played for a little over 6 hours and I am please with my total. Hoping to do just as much grinding tomorrow with equally good results. Wishing you all the best
Ronin
