    You won't get an honest answer to this in a public forum.

    You need to establish residency outside the U.S. Provide them with an ID or license from your new residence.

    They'll continuously verify your IP.

    forget it

    Plus if your not betting at least $1000 per game it is not worth it

    Do a search this has been discussed before. Last time was about 4 weeks ago. It's probably more trouble than it's worth.

    If anyone has a Pinny credit agent, I'd appreciate a PM.

    I posted on this before, and was strongly warned from outside powers to shut up (all PMs will be ignored if my box isn't full). Obviously there are many, many Americans playing and there ain't much to it, but I also agree with JJ that if you aren't betting $1K don't sweat it. As the saying goes, "if you have to ask...."

    If you are a non-US citizen with a Pinnacle account are you allowed to bet with Pinnacle while in the United States from the United States?

    I was in this exact situation over the holidays. I'm Canadian who was travelling to the U.S. I emailed Pinnacle and asked them this question. Their response to me was, "As of January 2007, wagers will no longer be accepted from players while inside the U.S." Now i know this isn't entirely true because i have travelled and bet while inside the U.S since Jan. 2007, but i decided on this trip that i would avoid doing so after receiving this email response. So i just ended up using matchbook soas not to worry.

    Well I think we can use "Proxy Servers" to use other servers and make it appear to be coming from abroad... That's what I am going to do...

    You better have a damn good proxy - if you dont know what makes one good, hire someone. Crappy proxies are easily identifyable.

    Find someone who knows what a cpu and hard drive ID is and ask them to set it up.

    If your brother can not, he can probably put you in touch with someone who can.

    YOu need a service that hides the fact you are on a proxy. A service like gotomypc is ideal, except it is US based. Now, if you placed a computer offshore, you could likely use gotomypc to access it. Just prey it does not need a reboot. Best bet is to find a friend overseas, buy a $200 desktop, put it at his place and gotomypc to it. You should be fine. Findnot worked for a while, but Pinnacle picked up on this.

    If you want to be 100% anonymous you need to erase your harddrive and cpu id. This can be done by booting from a CD rom. Most the people who do this are into things like child porn - you want to stay away from these guys and this is prob not necessary to outwit pinnacle (But who knows) I know neteller collected CPU ids or at least they said they did.... The only reason I know about these is a buddy of mine from MIT works in internet security. I asked about what a cpu id was sinceneteller said in their faq they collect them.
