  Probably been explained/posted before but why are some countries unable to play in the tournaments?! Is all of europe excluded or just a few countries?

  Basically anything significant that you win needs to be reported as taxable earnings.  They need to fill out the appropriate paperwork with your government so that your government knows when and how much to tax you for things you've received from the site.

  Unfortunately, no matter what country you live in, getting anything done quickly when the government is involved is near impossible. :)

  I don't know because Italy isn't in that list . I've deposit $50,00 for that tournament , but nothing for me, and the credit isn' change on dollar. But if my country isn't agible for the tournament, because they take my money ??? Only for the Clubs ?? If my country doesn't entry , never ??? 

   

  P.S. Excuse for my english.......

  Italy is not available yet Califfo.  The money you put in you can use to buy clubs for now.  Eventually Italy will be added to the list.  You'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

  As an unrelated aside, it's really hard to see the difference between Irish and Italian flags.

  There is the International Open every month that you can enter.  This tournament is for bragging rights only.

  these are some good questions

  i'm from new zealand and it seems i can only play one course (ocean)

  it would be great to be able to play others, especially BPB (even if it only a practice round)

  can you shed any light on this?

   

  Thanks
