I would like to add, although you have a permanent residency in the DR, if you still have US citizenship, you can not partake in online gambling. I don't know about canada or the EU

Are you saying that an American citizen is not allowed to gamble online while in another country?
I am not informed, but it seems highly unlikely to me.
Isn't the online US gambling law, actually some old law that dates back to the days before the internet, which prohibits interstate gambling by telephone, or something similar to that?
If a US citizen was gambling online is in the DR, what interstate law would he be breaking?

Yes, I agree it is permitted. As our computer, however, has a US IP address it was necessary for us to prove that we were residents in DR.

I believe the law is not against private citizens, but financial institutions. It prohibits financial institutions from send or receiving money from Gaming sites - unless you live in Nevada or Jersey or something.

Somebody was pulling your leg.
Your puter has no IP address.
The IP comes from our internet providers, not out of the computer.

Here is the deal. If you have a credit card from the country you are in you can gamble because to get a credit card in the DR you have to have residency and thus a Dominican address. I have been on Poker Stars for over a year. The key is that any money you win has to be sent back to the DR, or transfered to another player who can cash it out for you. You have to have a credit card, epassport, etc., to join the various poker outlets and you cannot use a US credit card or funds originating from a US financial institution.

Was that just a typo when you registered, wanting to write "Deuce"?
Anyhow, to play poker in the DR, you do not have to have a residency.
I know a few guys who travel all over the world, including the DR and play online poker for a living.
The limitations are that it cannot be played in the US nor can the money transactions be done there either.
