where do you keep large online bankrolls?

Interest rates at banks are crap. I had a money markey account at Wachovia earning .75% ING is currently giving 2.6%

You might want to see if your bank will let you have a US dollar savings account. I know Toronto Dominion does these.

is there any practical way of getting money to and from poker sites from a US dollar account in canada?

i know neteller won't allow it.

i'm also a canuck. as far as i know, we're screwed. you could get a US checkings account at a canadian bank, but they either charge insane fees or crappy yearly fees. some online US banks exist, but you need to be a US citizen.

so...simple solution? cash out sparingly.

Ok, make that another black strike against Neteller - i didn't realise they discriminated on bank accounts like that.

Hmm, what about using IGMPAY to a canadian US dollar account? That should work shouldn't it?

WTF? You mean I can't send money from my Canadian bank account to neteller, then to a poker site, then home to NZ (free wire transfer is worth the few day's delay)?

Is this policy, experience, or rumour?

you can't attach a US dollar bank account in canada to a neteller account. canadian dollar accounts work fine.

i don't think so. how would this be done?

[Kablooie]

I would presume you'd just stick your Canadian US dollar account number into the IGMPAY form for the cashout, at a poker site of your choice. Or am i missing something here?

[Reef]

it's probably already been said, but Neteller is VERY safe.

I keep bout 500BB in poker acct. and an extra 2-3k in Neteller for whoring.

no such option exists at party skins. i'm pretty sure IGMPAY is US only.
