went to several banks.
Deustche bank doesn't do personal banking in Sri Lanka
Only co-operate banking

Went to NTB & Commercial. According to them you can do payments and recieve credit but cannot transfer funds to another country's site or bank.
Lankawe salli pitarata yana case ekak
Wen to HSBC. The minimum amount in a savings account should be half a million rupees
Didn't get a clear clarification on the betting details.
Standard Chartered is the only bank that actually gave some hope.
You can start a savings account with 25k but if you don't maintain a balance more than 25k, they charge an interest fee every month. This is basically what happens with the multinational banks.
After talking to legal branch it was clarified that payments & funds transfers to moneybookers was fine but still they are uncertain about sports betting because they haven't encountered such transactions before
She told me to call the customer service and ask them to clarify
wtf? after going straight to the bank still cannot clarify somethings and then I'd have to call them and get a huge freakin call charge
So sad about Deustche
Because I contacted the german bank and they confirmed that they do approve gambling/ sports betting transactions. But the freakin brach in SL doesn't do personal banking 
bump
