Offshore betting is not so friendly. Why?

Absolutely bullshit. Betonline just emailed me and said my bitcoin address expired ( wonder why) it only took 3 days —— so they said to initiate the process again and this will be subject to another 4 day review. All this over $300 which $100 is my original post up.
Why are you guys not outraged???? This could happen to any of you. Whatever

Update. Last evening I got an email from Betonline saying my bitcoin address had expired - they wanted an updated bitcoin address. So I obliged and over night I had 200 of the $300 paid. Not sure why they left $100 in the account. I guess they want me to play it and lose it. I hope others have a better experience with Betonline because it’s been a nightmare. Keep in mind I only did a small amount to try them and they failed miserably. Imagine if this figure had a comma in it??? Jeez. Good luck all.

With all the hoops, fee's, pains, slow pays, etc I can't believe people still play offshore. I get it it's a rush but you have to have discipline, pick winners and still cover any fee's to make it profitable. I would think the small % that wins continues to get smaller.

Just not worth it IMO why I stopped years ago.

Go - did you stop betting completely or just offshore? I live in Florida and it’s never gonna be legal here as long as Disney and the Indians control everything. So I have no options except to travel to Mississippi

I pretty much stopped. I go to Vegas maybe a couple times a year and get my fix in when I'm there. I live in Nebraska and there are some casino's just on the outside of Nebraska in Iowa that are about 1 1/2 hours away from me but I don't go very often. Hate the smoke and they don't have sports gambling (but they might be getting it soon).

I've done some locals in the past but a $100 wager win or lose really doesn't affect me so it's honestly not fun. I have to wager big enough to make an impact on my life and most locals I don't trust with a significant wager. There is nothing better than betting at a window in Vegas, winning and going to get the cash. Instant gratification, no games etc. I've won big and didn't get paid at all or I've won and didn't get paid for a long time just because they know the longer they wait to take the money out of my account, the more chance they have of me betting and ultimately losing. In my college years I've done that too.

That and I have 4 busy kids in various sports so my free time to handicapped is almost non existent. Still check lines and odds from time to time just because I'm curious. Sorry short answer is I don't really gamble any more.

One last thing, look at how many hoops you had to jump through just to get 200 bucks. What if that number is $20,000 and I don't get paid. A bad review on sportsbookreview is my option? No thanks

Since Neteller left, the best days online for me were with an agent..While I lost, there was always a positive feeling of being paid if i reached the 500. settle figure. Unfortunately they disappeared, for no apparent reason on my end. (They gave no reason).

Goblue- great post and I agree. Bookmaker always pays but lately the payments have been short. 5D always pays but they are just so rude and I have no idea what’s gonna happen after this murder of their owner, heritage seems great but I just started back with them but Nothing sucks like this Betonline experience. They paid me $200 and I feel lucky. But they did pay. And maybe that’s just how they roll. I also agree about trusting locals
