If you're in the US, just grab a Paysafecard at a 7-Eleven and use that... if I remember right, they have $50 vouchers available.$33

James Taylor3 said:Forget that garbage, I only got 25%.

That's because I actually know how to bet better than you guys. 🙂

You already burned through all your 100% bonuses. 🙂

Joshua Garcia8 said:I got the exact same offer as Kupusić 🙂

I'm gonna take them.. waiting for 100% ...but up to $100... if possible 🙂

The NFL season gets underway on Thursday September 5th, so you might as well use your exclusive bonus to spice things up. Grab a 50% DraftKings bonus up to $50!

FanDuel 😢
Anyone actually land that 100% reload bonus? 😕

Online betting here has worked this way for years. Nobody ever brings up money transfer issues, so I don't get why you keep harping on it.

I'm not harping on anything, it's just how American gambling laws could be interpreted.

If you're scared, just forget about foreign betting sites and move on!

darkhound77 said:...just asking

Yeah, but how?

Were you betting through an American site or what?

What do you mean "how"? 🤷
I was depositing just like every other American who uses international online books.

darkhound77 said:...so if the bank calls you up to prove where your cash came from, or the IRS comes knocking, what's the big deal if you just tell the truth? Like, yeah, I got it from an overseas sportsbook via a sign-on bonus, no deposits made?

Are you trolling me or just being paranoid? You betting at online bookies? Playing the lottery? Or just asking questions for the hell of it?

I've pulled cash from Skrill to my checking account and directly from sportsbooks to my bank a ton of times. Never once has anyone asked me where it came from or how I got it...

Why make it complicated? 🤷
If you just withdraw to Skrill/Neteller and then move it to your US bank account... how is anyone supposed to know that money came from a sportsbook?

Zachary Booth said:Hold on, I'm waiting too, but looks like nothing's happening for the start of the season this year. User support just told me on chat they haven't heard a peep about any announcements yet.

Building on that—anyone got a recommendation on where to sign up? I've only ever used DraftKings because of the bonuses and whatever...

I'm looking to drop a couple hundred bucks into an account right now, so who's actually offering a decent "deposit bonus" or something?

SkyBet won't take me because I'm in the US, for example, and I think it's the same deal with Titan Beta.

Where's the best deal? Help a (hopeless) gambler get back in the game!

Check out FanDuel, they had a 100% match up to $100 sign up bonus

Anthony Jackson2 said:Come on—still haven't found anyone to go in on the Bundesliga or Serie A with me.

Don't be shy.🤷

Serie A doesn't even need its own thread since it's such a dumpster fire🙂

darkhound77 said:Hey!

I've got a question—strictly hypothetical, obviously:

So, you sign up for some foreign sportsbook and snag a bonus, but you don't actually make a deposit.
And somehow, you end up with a bigger amount than expected.
Would there be any issues getting that cash out? (Thinking about hitting
PayPal first, then transferring to a US bank account)
I didn't deposit anything from the US or any other account; I just managed to use the bonus.

Every sportsbook has its own rules for bonuses. If it's a no-deposit bonus, you're fine... but if the bonus requires a deposit, you aren't touching that money until every single condition is met.

Any gamblers out there in Canada... how are you guys funding your PayPal accounts?

edit: forgot to mention... this is for if you don't have a Master card🙂

Roger Phillips said:I had no clue where this game was being played🤷

Couldn't find anything on whether W. Silva is even playing either. Not counting those two guys—they aren't even on the roster anymore.😉

We'll see. Goals have to happen. No turning back now.😁 🤷

Based on how things are going, I can't pass on over 1.5 goals @ 1.95😁

Roger Phillips said:Rio FC vs. Miami FC Over 2.5 @ 2.08

The Rio squad has two home wins under their belt, both 2-1 scores.
They took down teams like the LA Galaxy and St. Louis City.
Miami’s been playing five games lately—3-0-2 record—and every single one went over.
Their offense is lethal, they play efficient ball, and they should deliver another heavy performance tonight.

Both rosters are full strength. The visitors are offensive-minded (think Fred and R Sobis), maybe even the better side, but the home team is a tough out and they're playing in front of their own crowd...honestly, they can beat anyone when they have home-field advantage.
Bottom line: goals are coming in this one.

Game's in a new stadium in a different city, so the stands might be pretty empty. Won't give Rio much of a home edge without the noise.

Miami is missing Welington Nema, who just jumped ship to a club in Europe; he was huge for their attack.
Thiago Neves probably sits out too since he's looking for a new contract overseas.
And they're also without Welington Silva, a defender who's only suited up three times so far.

Knowing the idiot coaching Miami right now, I'm leaning heavily toward the Over.

James Taylor3 said:Check your inboxes.

Bet365 just dropped $5 in free credits in my account today. Real classy move. If they’d actually messed up and added a few extra zeros to that five, I wouldn't be complaining. 🙂

Yeah, maybe three more zeros would've done the trick, right? 😍

I just wiped my balance clean, so now I'm just sitting here waiting for that "100% deposit match up to $100" email to hit. 😁

So why aren't we banning troll posts yet? 🤷

What makes this place such a magnet for trolls anyway? 😕
Sure, you can just block some of the usual suspects, but like you said, I’m not about to scroll through ten pages of garbage just to find one actual useful comment.

Whatever. Personally, I’m all for cleaning up this mess and actually enforcing some rules. 🙂

Robert Torres said:We could physically split this mess in two: one thread just for Barca and Real Madrid talk (which is basically 90% trolling anyway) and another for everything else. Maybe then we wouldn't be constantly moving posts around and could actually get a thread where people can have a real conversation about Spanish football...

Wait, so Barca and Real aren't Spanish soccer? 🤷
If we want to have a normal conversation, why should we still have to deal with all the trolling?
Besides, if the mods actually stepped in and penalized the trolls instead of practically encouraging them, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.☕

Emily Ward3 said:Is there any chance that starting next season, you could somehow separate the La Liga threads from the endless Real Madrid vs. Barcelona drama and the constant Ronaldo vs. Messi back-and-forth? It feels like the same group of people is always here, looking for every tiny excuse to give their favorites a free pass while rarely seeing anyone penalized for blatant trolling. Look, a little banter is fine, but when the same three topics drag on day after day... what's actually the point?
It would be great if you just created a dedicated thread for the 2024/2025 La Liga season where we can actually discuss the games, and then have a separate space for all the trolling to migrate to. Right now, out of 10,000 posts, maybe 800 are actually useful. Other leagues don't deal with this. I've never seen Liverpool and Everton fans spend days bickering over some obscure family connection, nor do I see AC Milan fans mocking every single bad pass made by a former player.

👍 smartest suggestion on this whole site ☕

goldennomad17 said:Thanks for the quick replies, guys. I'll just head straight to Wells Fargo since I don't have an account at Bank of America yet.

No clue how things work in a physical branch. I handle everything through online banking.

goldennomad17 said:I just scrolled through about 20+ pages of this thread and couldn't find a straight answer, so I'm asking here. Simple question..

I want to put some cash on DraftKings, which means getting money into PayPal first. Question is: which bank is actually the safest for dealing with PayPal? I don't want any of the headache stories I've been reading about in this thread. Just tell me—you guys who are constantly depositing and withdrawing—which bank is my best bet? And I mean ANY bank EXCEPT JP Morgan Chase... I was thinking Bank of America, but I wanted to see what you guys think first..

Wells Fargo - zero issues so far
