Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

Oh, and one more thing—if you’re looking to move some serious cash, Pinnacle is the place to be. They actually welcome high rollers; depending on the matchup, you can drop up to $55,000 on a single bet. It’s a total game-changer compared to other spots.
Meanwhile, Bet365 is much more restrictive, slapping limits on you depending on which league you're looking at.
For instance, if you’re betting on the big five European leagues, they might cap you at just $1,600 over a 24-hour period. Can you believe that? Talk about being held back!
On the bright side, their live betting selection is actually pretty solid. I’ve spent plenty of time playing soccer, tennis, hockey, and even futsal on there.
And here’s a little pro tip: if there’s a specific result you want to bet on but they don't have it listed, just shoot an email to their support team. Seriously, they'll often set up a live option for you with a specific odd.
Also, with Pinnacle, you can basically "create" your own markets. Like, if they’re offering an over/under of 5.5 baskets, you can just ask them for a 7.5 line and they'll give you a price for it. It gives you so much more control!

Honestly, I feel like Bet365 is pretty much the only one that falls short when it comes to tennis. Their handicaps are constantly lagging behind by about a game or two, and half the time they don't even bother offering them at all. For me, most of my action stays strictly on the live bets there.

On the big five leagues, they might cap you at $1,500 over a 24-hour period.
Another plus: their live offerings are solid. I've messed around with soccer, tennis, hockey, and futsal.
One more thing—if there’s a specific result you want to bet on but it isn't listed, just shoot an email to support. They'll often set up a live option for you with decent odds.
With Pinnacle, you can basically "buy" custom options too. If they're showing an over/under of 5.5 baskets, you can ask for 7.5 and they'll give you a price.

How much did you put down? 😲

Does anyone happen to have that $5 bonus code for FanDuel—one that doesn't require 😁
?

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...

could I just use the card to fund my Pinnacle account or some other sportsbook, then have them pay out back to that same account without any issues? Just the card, nothing else.

For Bet365, Bet-at-home (avoid them), Unibet, or Bwin (stay away from those guys)—yeah.

Not sure about Pinnacle. Their site lists these for deposits: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/depositmethods.aspx and for withdrawals: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/withdrawalmethods.aspx
Since Visa is mentioned in both places, it should work fine with a Visa debit card.

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...

driftinghawk83 said:I’d probably just open an Intel account. Dealing with credit cards is a headache I don't need, and honestly, I'm not great at managing them anyway. Plus, there's no fee. Just gotta scrape together some cash first to get serious about it.

👍 Same here. I use an Intel card for my foreign currency account.

driftinghawk83 said:just one quick question here:

Honestly, that card is a total winner for pretty much everything 👍 if I recall correctly, you're looking at maybe $50 a year in fees and that's really it 😉 personally, I always head down to a local currency exchange to grab my Euros where the rates aren't completely predatory, and then I'll just move that over to my foreign currency account before buying things or transferring money... 🤷 because, let's face it, those exchange booths usually offer a way better rate than what your typical big-name bank will throw at you.

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

I’ve got that card myself—definitely recommend it.

Do you have a PayPal account?

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).

driftinghawk83 said:I guess I have some stuff, but honestly, I haven't a clue why it isn't showing up

even though I submitted the request... they still haven't sent that verification code to my house address🤷

Look, it’s not exactly the end of the world—just open a new account with a different email and call it a day. Or maybe that code will actually show up eventually... if I recall correctly, mine didn't arrive until about six months later.🤣

EDIT: Four months... it definitely should've been here by now...🤷

I don't know, if you're in a massive bind for cash, just find someone reliable who has a PayPal account and work out a swap between yourselves. If it's not an emergency, just hit up PayPal support and explain the situation—fingers crossed they actually give you a solution. They aren't exactly legendary for their customer service in my book, but hey, maybe they'll be more helpful to you than they were to me...

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...🤷

I honestly don't even know, man. You might get that code in three days, or you might be waiting forever... it's a toss-up. Honestly, your best bet is just to track down someone legit who’s already got a verified Chase account running.🤷

Remind me again—did they hit you up for address verification? Like, asking for a utility bill or a copy of your driver's license and all that junk?

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...

driftinghawk83 said:I don't know, I just sent them an inquiry a bit ago... we'll see what happens next, I guess.

Did you actually send the email? Pretty sure that's the only way to handle this...

Pinnacle feels way too overcomplicated, especially this zero handicap thing 🤷

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

I believe I just did right here

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...
