Wonder if anyone can help with my nooby queries.
So I play on an American poker site and only way to withdraw is via bitc. Anyone I've asked states to go ACR/blockchain (or other)/some exchange or other/bank. The yanks do this cuz they don't want things traced to poker for obvious reasons. Over here however poker isn't a problem, so my question is why shouldn't I withdraw direct from ACR to an exchange, first off?
Secondly, coinbase is a site where u can sell the coin directly to bank transfer. Someone said but they start asking questions if you transfer alot, not good for poker. But why isn't it? Poker is perfectly legal here so...?
Are there any other direct transferrable sites other than coinbase? Tia
edit: just read coinbase don't deal with UK banks, I can't get a Euro one. So UK banks won't deal with bitcoin exchangers is this the gist?
I used my UK Natwest account with them for 2 years so unless they changed policy within the last month they def do deal with UK banks. They don't however send in £, they send in €, which is then converted by your bank.
They prob don't like gambling transactions because of money laundering regulations.
