Default Would doing this be deemed \"suspicious activity\"?

I too don't play much at empire except for bonuses and the occasional MTT. Since they don't like bonus whores I sense that I won't be doing so in the future. I understand their position and I think it is very fair from a business standpoint.

I however am canadian and party and empire has a very nice cashout system for us canadians. Instead of transfering money into our neteller accounts and then into our banks, we can directly withdraw our cashouts straight to our bank accounts. This saves us the 2% neteller fee as the exchange rate is much better.
In the last few weeks I have notice party increasing the currency exchange rate a bit on these EFT transfers. Therefore I know that they are making some money off our cashouts when we exchange the funds into canadian currency.

Now my dilemma is this. Since I don't play much there except for the occasional MTT, I play at other online poker sites but they don't have the EFT cashout system that empire has. Saving 2% is a lot as for me as I play in some of the higher limits online and I do frequently cash out more than 10-15K a month.

If I don't play at empire for example but yet I'm using their cashout system to cash out funds by depositing into empire and then withdrawing it to my bank, would they still be ok with this? It certainly would raise the red flag for money laundering even though what I'm doing (and I'm sure other canadians too) are legitamate and just using their EFT method of cashouts to our benefit.
