steeltiger18 said:True, but honestly, if I don't get those daily offers and instead have to hunt through individual sports schedules day by day, I'd rather just stay in South Sudan

Look, if we're actually serious about betting, we should switch over. American books offer much better odds and they don't tack on that 5% margin which ends up being closer to 10-15% per parlay. That adds up...

Alex Cook said:Well, let's hope they get back to you quickly. If you need a hand, just shoot me a PM.

Hopefully won't be necessary, but thanks for the offer

steeltiger18 said:Pinnacle seems way too complicated, especially this 0 handicap 🤷

If we had applied what we learned from the South Sudan handicap, we would have figured out these American ones too...

Alex Cook said:Did you send that email? I think that's all there is to it...

I believe I just did right here

Alex Cook said:I honestly don't know. You might get the code in three days, or you might never see it at all. Your best bet is to find someone reliable who already has a PayPal account...🤷

I sent them an inquiry just now. We'll see what happens next...

Alex Cook said:Look, it’s not exactly a catastrophe. Just open a new PayPal account using a different email address and move on. There's a chance that verification code might actually show up after a while. In my experience, it took six months before mine finally arrived...🤣

I get it, but I’m clearly an amateur when it comes to this rule, so I just went ahead and posted it... $167 This is ridiculous. I still haven't received my verification since April 24th. That’s been ten months...🤷

Alex Cook said:I have that card, highly recommend it.

Do you have a PayPal account?

I do, but it won't let me do anything and I have no clue why.

Even though I submitted the request, they never sent the verification code to my home address.🤷

edit: what should I do now since we're on the subject (I actually requested this back in April last year, and worst part is, I have money stuck in there).

Robert Thompson12 said:that card is actually great for everything 👍 if I remember correctly, you just pay about $10 a year and you're done 😉 I always just go to a currency exchange to get the best rate for USD, then put it into my foreign currency account, and from there I buy things or transfer it to my checking... 🤷 why wouldn't I? exchange services have much better rates than banks

thanks for the help

Joshua Garcia8 said:Regarding Bet365, Bet-at-home (stay away from them), Unibet, or Bwin (avoid them too)—yes.

I'm not sure about Pinnacle, but their site lists http://www.pinnaclesports.com/depositmethods.aspx for deposits and http://www.pinnaclesports.com/withdrawalmethods.aspx for withdrawals.
Since Visa is mentioned in both sections, I assume it applies to an Intel card as well.

I should probably just open a Visa debit account. Dealing with credit cards is a headache and I haven't had much luck with it anyway. I'll grab a Visa since there's no real cost involved. First, though, I need to save up some cash before I start playing seriously...

One question:
If I open this account:
http://www.chase.com

Would I be able to deposit money into Pinnacle or another online sportsbook without any issues, and then withdraw it back to that same account? Just using the card and nothing else...

Ronald Barrett55 said:What if I just put down $200 and didn't bother with a bonus? Would I be able to withdraw immediately after the first bet, or...

Yes, you could.

ambercrane532 said:Get in touch with their customer service and explain what happened. You aren't the first person in America to deal with this. It is 100% possible to swap the currency, but it takes patience, time, and a lot of nerve to walk them through the reasoning... it can be done. Just whatever you do, don't try to open a second account. If they catch you, they will lock both of them down, and then explaining anything to them becomes much harder.

I think I'm just going to screw all of this over.
I'll withdraw whatever money I have left and just use a legitimate sportsbook.

ambercrane532 said:If you haven't made any deposits yet, changing the currency isn't an issue. Just shoot them an email and they'll walk you through the process.

The issue is I already have some dollars sitting in my account.

Am I stuck using dollars at the sportsbook now or what?...
Can I transfer those dollars from the account back to my checking...?

My account is showing in US dollars now.
I'm just waiting for them to mail the verification documents to my house. Once that's done, will I be able to deposit into the sportsbook normally and withdraw directly to my checking account via mobile banking, or is there something else I need to do?

Sam Murphy said:I didn't watch because I don't care much, but I think it's three times $100.

And the odds need to be higher than 2, if I recall reading that correctly.
Don't quote me on that 100%...

Ethan Moore36 said:I'm thinking about putting $100 into Bet365 and starting to bet.

I could use some advice if possible:
- I have a Chase Maestro debit card... it has some USD and a bit of change on it.
- My plan is to convert some cash and deposit it into that Bet365 account.
- The $100 bonus is what attracts me most to this sportsbook, and I've heard they're decent.

Is there any issue opening an account? Does my Maestro card work, or is that card okay?

Please help, this is all totally foreign territory to me.

I suspect Maestro won't work, but I'm not certain...

I can't make a deposit using my Bank of America card. I just got off the phone with them and they told me it's illegal, so I'm blocked from using a card for betting sites here.

He has the card, the CVV, and the funds ready, but the deposit just won't go through. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into payment issues lately...

And what on earth is a "baby card"???
I honestly don't follow these terms...

I can't get my card payments to go through for some reason
I'm honestly stumped on what the issue is
I've already tried on DraftKings and FanDuel

Could someone please explain the exact process to me...
