In my opinion, Venmo is the way to go. I’ve personally never run into any issues with them, even when moving significant amounts of money through my account. Transactions are consistently fast and secure, plus you get rewarded with points for your activity. Their customer support is quite efficient, usually getting back to me within an hour or two. However, if you're an AT&T subscriber, you get access to live chat for much more immediate assistance. I typically withdraw my funds in Austria using their card.

Is there any sportsbook offering odds on who will advance from the groups at the ATP Finals? (I don't necessarily mean who finishes first, but rather both players advancing, if you catch my drift 😁)
PayPal and Venmo... fast withdrawals with zero fees.
Alexander Kern6 said:That is the specific letter you're referring to, but I am talking about all newly opened accounts. For my last four accounts over the past few months, I have had to verify using both that letter and an ID. The thing is, they never seem to send the letter proactively; I always have to follow up after seven days to request a resend, and even then, it takes another week or ten days to actually arrive.
So far, they haven't asked me to complete verification using that code...
Christian Hernandez11 said:I believe it's one point for every dollar. You’d need 50,000 points to redeem $100 in cash. They occasionally run promotions where you get double points per dollar, or sometimes even five times the usual amount.
Every sportsbook has its own specific withdrawal terms, so you should check their fine print for the details.
In that case, PayPal sounds incredibly generous...
I notice about 95% of the people here handle all their deposits and withdrawals through PayPal, which makes me wonder about how their reward points program actually works. How many points do you get for every dollar spent? And what’s the conversion rate if I want to redeem them for actual cash?
I personally run all my transactions through Neteller. To be honest, I hadn't even bothered checking or paying any attention to the accumulated points until a few days ago. Out of sheer boredom one afternoon, I decided to take a look at my rewards balance, and I was pleasantly surprised. I had managed to rack up quite a significant amount of points, so I redeemed them for cash, and the funds were promptly credited to my account.
After reviewing my transaction history to see how those points were earned, I've become much more interested in maximizing them—it’s definitely worth the effort. You earn points on basically every single transaction, so it adds up faster than you'd think.
Now, here is a thought: how would the sportsbooks react if I were to transfer a larger sum to my account several times a day, place some small bets, and then immediately request a withdrawal?

Aaron Barnes3 said:- Just use Venmo or Neteller to deposit a small amount into DraftKings, then try to withdraw the entire balance. You can pull the funds via their Mastercard.
I highly doubt that would work. It isn't quite that simple... I dealt with a similar situation once and had to fight them tooth and nail, though I did eventually manage to get everything withdrawn to my Neteller account.
Hi everyone, is anyone interested in helping me transfer some funds to my Neteller account? I am more than happy to provide a fee for the assistance... please send me a private message if you can help out!
hollowwolf10 said:You don't need to worry about taxes because there have been online services available for a long time now, much like online banking tools such as Neteller and PayPal. You simply open an account, and all international sportsbooks support deposits and withdrawals through these services. These providers are typically based in tax havens like Puerto Rico, which functions as an autonomous territory within the United Kingdom, and they are licensed by the UK government via the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The important part is that both of these services issue a Visa card linked directly to your account, allowing you to withdraw cash from any ATM. This way, you have zero interaction with local banks, other than using their machines. If you truly want to avoid any connection to domestic banking altogether, you could always just drive over to Canada, Canada, or Canada to withdraw your funds. Personally, I would recommend Neteller. I hope this helps.
I've actually used Neteller from the very beginning, including their card. The issue I ran into was that I deposited xx dollars in foreign currency, but ended up with xxxx dollars. The bastards insisted on paying me out exclusively to my foreign currency account, even though I had made my subsequent deposit via Neteller. Usually, bookmakers pay out to whatever account was used for the most recent deposit.
In the end, I sent them an email requesting to have the funds withdrawn to Neteller instead, and by some miracle, they approved it and sent it there. Since Canada is right next door, I can head over there and withdraw without any fees. The only downside to Neteller is that they limit your daily withdrawals to $500.
Gerald Jones56 said:What exactly is illegal about taking winnings from an overseas sportsbook, especially now that we're part of the USA?
It certainly isn't illegal, but since the authorities can track every single transaction these days, I suspect they’ll eventually find a way to collect their tax cut. A few days ago, I cashed out a small amount, but once it hit me that everything is being monitored now, I honestly didn't have the guts to withdraw the rest—which is a significantly larger sum.
I honestly can't believe what I'm dealing with at bet365 here. The situation is this:
I placed a Live bet on an NCAA basketball game.
It was Kentucky vs. Arkansas. I bet on the second half being Under 87 points... the score ended up 33:31, but since the game went into overtime, my ticket was marked as a loss because the total points hit 88 once overtime was factored in.
What kind of nonsense is this? Does overtime count toward the second half total?
This is absolute robbery... I am definitely not letting this slide.
silverridge3 said:They're nothing but thieves, just like every other shady bookie. In my experience, they actually accepted my bets at 1.83 twice during live play, only to settle them at 1.07 later, claiming there was a "processing error" with the deposit. Of course, both tickets were already cleared. I've also had Marathon hide my winning live slips from me. Then, out of nowhere, a ticket suddenly appears with the odds adjusted to 1.0. BetMGM limited my stakes to $22, and after talking to the folks over at Germany, I told them I wouldn't be coming back... Everything seems fine while you're losing money, but the second you win or try to cash out, the trouble starts.
I can personally vouch for a similar situation where Bet365 dropped my odds from 1.86 down to 1.06. I honestly don't know what's going on lately, but I've started running into constant issues with them. Does anyone know of a sportsbook with a live selection comparable to Bet365? My main priority is having plenty of live basketball coverage throughout the day.
After two years of betting with Bet365, I’ve been relatively satisfied with my experience until yesterday, when I ran into my first real issue. It involves live betting on handball... I placed a wager on under 30 total goals for the first half. By the 28th minute, the score was sitting at 12:11... then suddenly, everything stops, and the match disappears from the live betting menu. Two hours later, my bet is voided and the stake is refunded, even though the half actually ended 13:12.
Then today, a second incident occurred... I was betting on basketball, specifically over 36 points in the second quarter. It’s the exact same pattern as the handball situation... the score was 18:17 in the second quarter with 2:25 remaining on the clock... the game vanishes from the sportsbook. Naturally, the total easily cleared 36 points, yet once again, my bet was voided.
I can't help but suspect this is being done intentionally.

Will I run into any trouble if I have funds from Bet365 land directly into my foreign currency account?
The money just hit my foreign currency account... it happened within 24 hours, and there weren't any extra fees or commissions taken out.
Now, I'm just waiting for a call from the bank sometime tomorrow...
