lexian8 · Nov 6, 2009

Hi guys, as per thread title, where you do think the the best country to play online poker in ? Without running into problems with the authorities or maybe its simply more poker friendly.

DaBigBoss · Nov 6, 2009

well i guess it's not the U.S......LOL

EmoFrog · Nov 6, 2009

as in costs? ease of withdrawal? poker community?

asian countries generally cheaper to live in, if u can adapt to the food and culture

Pokertron3000 · Nov 6, 2009

U.K. its totally legal and you dont pay tax on your winnings, now I just have to start winning

lexian8 · Nov 6, 2009

Well asia in general is good, I live in that region. However the more developed asian countries have rather strict restrictions too.

UK and seems good...but cost of living is high. How about other european countries ?

dillingerdis · Nov 6, 2009

I can imagine any eastern european country that allows it would be good as the cost of living is WAY more reasonable that the rest of the EU. But yeah, as for moving to the UK to play, you better be pro!

Britain wins hands down. We have no restrictions or taxes and with free healthcare and such cost of living isn't so high.

The UK is rubbish and everything is a rip off.
You soon realise that when you go abroad.
House prices, cars, meals out etc are all very cheap in the US, compared to here. Cost of lliving there must be way lower even with having to pay for healthcare.

Depends on where in the US you go. Expensive in NYC and LA.. cheaper in the midwest.

UK never fails to be in top 10 most expensive place to live in...however there are many advantages living there too....as for US, I am not so sure, I am new but I read somewhere there might be legal issues ? Anybody from down under australia ?

Ya have to go with the UK on this one for sure.

I play in Australia and i find it very good. The only problem for me is that you have to get up at like 4am to play the big tournaments.

JLtrooper · Nov 7, 2009

Whichever one has the hottest chicks

Any legal issues in Australia ?

Canada is good if you want to remain close to the US.

0% tax on winnings, all legal poker, its nice.

swrittenb · Nov 10, 2009

Apparently Monaco is the place to be if you're European; it's basically a tax haven where you don't pay a dime on your winnings. Check out some of the pros on sites like Full Tilt, their home country is different than you might think.

Grindit9 · Nov 10, 2009

Monaco is nice, also you could move to malta start up your own company (front). And then you pay 5%, lot of poker players there as well and pokercompanies so a lot of people to socialize with. Nice weather most of the time and it is affordable as well. Monaco is not so affordable btw

I would say any country other than the U.S. Tax is out of control. lol

sharkyo01 · Nov 10, 2009

Grindit9 · Nov 15, 2009
