DraftKings is definitely my go-to choice 1. They let you deposit using pretty much any method you can think of 2. Getting your cash out is super fast 3. Unlike those other guys like BetMGM, they don't give you the runaround by constantly asking for more paperwork or claiming your ID isn't valid just to stall the payout 4. You even get a little $5 birthday gift, which is a nice touch 5. Plus, they’re always throwing out new bonus offers for the loyal players

Terry Edwards6, pick a lane first: do you want to set up an LLC or go the sole proprietorship route? Once you decide, we can actually give you a straight answer.
Hey everyone, does anyone actually know the drill for setting this kind of thing up? I’ve currently got a steady 9-to-5, but I’m looking to launch this as a side hustle on the side. 1) Should I be looking at setting up an LLC or just going the sole proprietorship route? 2) Is it cool if I register my business in a place like Indianapolis but end up doing all the actual work down in Florida? 3) Roughly how much cash am I gonna need to get the ball rolling if I'm not buying any vehicles or heavy equipment right away? 4) Also, would it be doable to hire a college kid through a campus job agency?
1)Look, services like PayPal, Neteller, or Moneybookers aren't actually bookies and they don't run any gambling games themselves, so you're just using them to move your cash around 2)Once that money hits your account there, you aren't sending funds from American soil to a sportsbook anymore—you're basically pulling it from an overseas account in England. 3>>3)If they went after one single person, they’d be setting a massive precedent that would basically put 100,000 American citizens on trial too. 4)None of us are sitting on $500,000 just waiting to get hauled into court over something that isn't even illegal or clearly defined by the law.
DraftKings gives you a decent bonus, but honestly, everything else about them is total garbage. bet-at isn't half bad, plus they’ve got a 50% bonus running. sportingbet has the cleanest interface and is super easy to navigate, just don't expect a bonus from them. BetMGM offers a $10 bonus. FanDuel—not too shabby, but there's no bonus available. bet365 is easily the best if you're looking to drop $100 all at once to snag an extra $100 on top.

Could someone please walk me through how this actually works?
You just need a standard debit card with a CVV code and, obviously, enough cash in the account.
So, I'm wondering what the easiest way to get funds in is?
I used to use Skrill, but I think JPMorgan Chase doesn't work with them or something like that😕
Also, is there any chance of running into withdrawal issues since this bookie is based in the UK or however it works... 🤷
Don't sweat the payouts. They're easily in the top 5 worldwide, and they offer an awesome bonus specifically for Americans that you just don't see elsewhere.
So I just finished reading that whole Moneybookers thread over on the finance forum... and now I'm even more lost than before.
Do you actually need a foreign currency account, or can I just use my standard USD one? I've just got a basic Visa Electron in dollars.
In that thread, they mentioned that when you verify your identity, you have to input an amount in Euros... and apparently, it's impossible to guess the exact number? Is that true?🤷
Honestly, just open a Moneybookers account in USD. I bet that would work just fine.
I'm just now diving into online betting and I've got a few questions...
So, here's the deal..
First off, I opened an account with PayPal...
And that's where my knowledge hits a wall. Honestly, I don't want to mess this up, so that's why I'm asking..
What do I actually need to do to get money into that account..?
I see these options:
credit/debit card bank account
I'm assuming those are the two ways to fund a PayPal account...🤷
So if I pick credit/debit card, I just type in my card number and move the cash from there?
And what about the other way? Like, do I have to physically go to the bank and make a deposit..?
Help me out here...
Trying to make this as painless as possible...
Debit means you're paying with your card, but you gotta verify it first. Bank means a transfer through your bank, but I haven't done it in a while so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details since they changed things up recently regarding how transfers work with Chase.
Basically, making deposits to MoneyBookers from the US is totally off-limits. Even if you try to sneak them through Visa Electron, it’s still considered illegal.
Where on earth did you hear that? You can just walk into a local bank and deposit directly into your MoneyBookers account, or even just use your Visa card. It’s no big deal.
Just a heads up, making direct deposits into an American bank account from overseas is technically against the rules. Even if they clear via Visa Electron, it’s still shady business.
Honestly, getting that 100 bucks sorted is super easy using that site I mentioned above. Though, if you add everything up, they’ll probably take about 10% of your cut. Still, it's your best bet because the cash lands right in your checking account. That’s huge for staying on top of your taxes—doesn't matter much for 100 bucks, but once you start talking bigger numbers, it becomes a massive deal.
Cheers!
Moneybookers is basically the same garbage as Payingsafer. It's honestly stupid to let them snatch 10% of your money for absolutely nothing.
They’ve really started ripping people off, especially over at DraftKings. They didn't even ask for any ID or documentation—it's a miracle they didn't demand my birth certificate too. Two of my buddies got totally played by them; they managed to pull out whatever cash they had left before jumping ship to FanDuel, which they say has way better odds.
First thing you gotta do is verify your card on PayPal. As soon as you log in, you’ll see options right in the middle of the screen for card verification, bank verification, and address. Just hit that card verification button, and they’re gonna pull a tiny amount—somewhere between a buck and three bucks—from your account. In a few days, just swing by your local JPMorgan Chase and grab a statement. It’ll show you the exact amount they took, down to the penny. Once you have that number, just plug it into PayPal. You gotta be spot on with the cents. Doesn't matter if you've got

If you've got a US bank account set up, just hit the upload option, plug in your card number and those last three digits on the back, and you're golden—assuming you've already gone through the verification process with MB.
They rarely send anything physical to your house, honestly. It’s mostly just because they need to verify you aren't some underage kid trying to get into a casino or place bets on DraftKings. If they need to confirm everything is legit, they’ll ask for your ID just to make sure the info you typed in actually matches who you are.
Just set up a PayPal account and toss about ten bucks in there. Then, you can just pull that ten back into PayPal along with your fifty, and either send it straight to your verified bank account or just keep it sitting in your balance
Man, they’ve actually started dodging payouts. A buddy of mine tried to cash out and sent over his ID, but then they hit him with this ridiculous runaround asking for a passport or a driver's license. He told them five different times he doesn't have either one, so they pull the "send us a scan of your health insurance card" move. He scans the damn thing, and they just tell him, "Nah, we don't accept those." It was a total headache, honestly. After fifteen days of constant back-and-forth and playing games, they finally dropped the money 👎
