I am interested in playing on some of the ROW sites in Canada (not Ontario with the ringfencing situation) - but can't get a straight answer from from PokerStars as to what is required. All they give is a boilerplate response saying "you need to create a Canadian / EU account", but they won't say what all that entails as an American.

Have read things around the internet but lots of it is old (some of it 10-11 years old) that says they will require me to have a Canadian SIN and establish residency (i.e. utility bill, bank statement, etc.) - but could have sworn I heard people were able to work things out without that.

Does anyone have any experience with this, and I am also wondering what other sites are available and what issues I may encounter setting up there?
