I've got another question. I put $20 into my Pinnacle account, but I've decided betting there isn't for me. Now I want to withdraw the cash, but they're giving me some runaround about needing to place five bets first.
Can I just place a tiny, minimal wager—what's the minimum, anyway?—on something with 1.05 odds just to clear the requirement and get my money back?
You have to wager your deposit 5x to withdraw without fees. So, in your case, that's $100 total volume.

Any idea what the actual fee is? I saw somewhere they mention 3%. If it’s just 3%, I can live with that.

Quick question—when I'm setting up my Visa card on PayPal, should I select the gambling or non-gambling option? P.S. (And obviously, I'm looking to place some bets)

Definitely gambling. 🤣Just go with that.

Is there a fee for that, or is it free?

Well, if you look at the table right there, it says card replacements cost 10 bucks. So, since you asked—if anyone actually knows the answer to this next part, please chime in.
I was looking at using their plastic Mastercard in dollars, and I noticed the ATM withdrawal fee is like $4 plus a 2.95% conversion fee. Does anyone know what kind of exchange rate they actually use? For instance, if I want to pull out $100 and the rate is 7.60, that would be $253 and then I’m getting hit with an extra $4 plus that 2.95% conversion. So basically, they’d be stripping an extra $6.95 from my account in that scenario. I guess the real question is, is it better to hunt for an ATM from a bank with a decent buying rate, or does Neteller actually have a better rate than the local banks? And what happens if the rate drops to 7.53 just because the ATM doesn't have enough small bills?

I assume you're pulling dollars out of an ATM, not euros.
For instance, if you withdraw $233, Neteller handles the conversion into dollars for you.

haha, so I was totally sitting there thinking I was typing in dollars when my card was actually set to euros 😵
anyway, do you happen to know what kind of exchange rate they're using to convert it?

If you hit that $100 turnover requirement, there's no fee on your first withdrawal of the month...

Hey everyone, I could use a little guidance here. I’m currently placing some bets over at William Hill, and I was wondering about their withdrawal process. Since my sportsbook account is registered under my own name, am I restricted to withdrawing funds only to my personal bank account? Or is there any flexibility where I could send the money to a different account as long as I just provide that person's name and banking details?
Thanks!
Thanks!

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.

Anyone else having issues getting their cash out from DraftKings?
I put in a withdrawal request back on Friday, March 13th. The site was giving me the usual "3-4 business days" estimate. I figured, hey, weekends don't count, so I’d definitely see that money hit my account by today, Thursday. Well, nothing. Zilch. To make things even more confusing, if you actually look at the withdrawal options, it says it can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days. So, what’s the deal? What kind of wait times have you guys actually been seeing lately?

Honestly, my experience with Unibet was always pretty smooth—everything usually cleared within three or four days. Just keep in mind, I had mine sent straight to my bank account. It probably takes way longer if you opted for some other withdrawal method instead.
#2616 ·
I mean, hasn't it been pretty obvious for a while now that DraftKings is the one we're looking at?
#2617 ·
Got a heads-up a week ago that I can finally do partial cash outs now. Before this, you were stuck just taking whatever pathetic offer they threw at you...

Does anyone actually get why Pinnacle doesn't offer basic 1X2 betting for some of those lower-tier soccer leagues—like the Venezuelan league or the Argentine second division? Instead, they just dump you with nothing but handicaps or over/under totals.

Hey everyone, I’ve got about $20 sitting in my PayPal account, but I’m stuck. I can't withdraw it because I don't have a verified Visa Electron, and I can't verify one since I only have exactly $0.00 left on the card—not even enough to cover the basic verification fee. I'm looking for someone who can take that $20 via PayPal, withdraw it to their own bank, and then send it over to me via Zelle or a standard bank transfer. We can definitely work out a cut for your trouble. If anyone can help me out, please shoot me a DM. Thanks, and sorry for the off-topic post! 😁
