Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?
in Betting Forum ·
I'm looking to start betting with some international online sportsbooks, so I need the lowdown on deposits and withdrawals. What are the cheapest ways to move money if I want to stay away from my main bank account?
For deposits, I was thinking about getting a prepaid card from a local bank or maybe just picking up some Paysafecard or eCash vouchers. But honestly, it’s the withdrawals that have me worried. I'll be playing at a few different sites, so I’m planning on using Neteller and PayPal. I'm thinking of keeping everything in USD—seems easiest, but let me know if switching to another currency actually makes sense. My plan is to move funds from the sportsbook to one of these e-wallets, then just order their branded cards to pay for stuff or pull cash. Which way hits the wallet less—using an ATM or just swiping the card at a store? Also, can I dodge the bank entirely by having them mail a check? It sounds like a nightmare of fees, though. If anyone has actually done this, please weigh in. I just want the path of least resistance with the smallest possible fees.
