Hey, I have a quick question and a small favor to ask

1)https://www.gamebookers.com/promotio...b_signup_bonus

Everything looks great on paper—the bonus and all that—but I’ve tried clicking "sign up now" from three different computers and absolutely nothing happens. It’s strange because when I go to create a new account, everything works perfectly fine and lets me enter a bonus code

The catch is, there's no mention of what the actual code is, and since you can only use it once to verify it works, they require you to deposit money first

So, while searching on Google, I stumbled upon this: http://www.bonuscodegamebookers.com/

Honestly, it feels pretty sketchy to me, especially since the official site mentions a $20 bonus while this other site keeps talking about $50

I actually like this sportsbook and would love to set up an account there to grab the bonus and get started, but I can't tell if I'm just being dense and missing something obvious, or if they're just messing around over a measly $20🙂

2) On another note, is there anyone kind enough with a Citibank account and a PayPal account who could help me out? I'm looking to send an initial deposit to PayPal via Citibank, and was wondering if someone could then transfer those funds to my PayPal account🙂

The problem is, nowhere does it actually say what that code is. And since you can only use it once to verify it works, they basically want you to deposit money first.

But honestly, it feels sketchy as hell. Especially considering the site mentions a 20 dollar bonus, yet these other pages keep talking about 50 bucks.

I actually like this sportsbook and would love to set up an account there to grab the bonus and get started, but I can't tell if I'm just being an idiot and missing something obvious, or if they're just messing with people over twenty bucks.🙂

2) Is there anyone out there with a Citibank account and a PayPal account who could help me out? I need to send an initial deposit via Citibank to PayPal, and then have someone transfer those funds over to my PayPal account.🙂


Clear out your messages, man. Your inbox is totally full so I can't even reply to you.🙂

hm, I’ve got a few questions regarding Mastercard:

1. what kind of limit am I looking at if I verify both my card and my foreign currency account?
2. does the limit bump up immediately once everything is verified, or do I need to wait a few days?
3. anyone here ever sent money to PayPal using Citibank online banking? I figure it should be way easier than standing at a teller window trying to explain to someone where the cash is actually going... how much can I transfer via a foreign currency account—is there even a limit? And what kind of fees are we talking about if I go that route instead of just using the card?
4. what are the odds that the zip code actually makes it to my house address?

help me out here, pls,,,🙂..DM me too if you want.

I’d imagine it would be way easier than standing at a teller window trying to explain exactly who gets the cash and where it's going. Also, what kind of limits am I looking at if I use my foreign currency account, or is it unlimited? And does the commission change if I go through a wire transfer instead of just using a card?


I've tested this myself—it works, and the funds usually hit instantly. Any restrictions you run into will likely depend on your specific account settings. As for fees, it's about 1.92%. From what I can tell, using a foreign currency account is basically the same as using a card; on the site, you either select "bank transfer," which takes about 2–5 business days, or "credit/debit card," which is immediate.

Hope that helps a bit. Honestly, I've been wrestling with these same issues lately myself. 😁

Thanks, any info helps... I'll just wait on the other questions for Scythe or Bryan Adams6 to chime in—they probably know more than I do. Mainly curious about the limits, though. What's the fastest way to bump up my card deposit limit? Right now I'm stuck at $1,000 every 60 days using my Citibank Visa.

Hey guys, quick question—what currency should I use when depositing into my account for betting on bet365? Should I just stick with US Dollars and let them handle the conversion, or is it better to deposit USD directly into the account right away?

It’s honestly better if you just stick to the same currency.

seriously, nobody knows anything?😕,,,first two are the big ones for me. right now my outgoing transaction limit is $4,500 and my Visa limit is $1,000—if I somehow manage to get my address and currency account verified, what kind of limits am I looking at? thanks,,, btw, still can't find an actual customer support email for Mastercard for some reason. 🙂

There are plenty of threads about PayPal on this forum; just use the search bar. As for verification and bumping up your limits, I sent them a photocopy of my passport, my Visa card, my Driver's License, and a utility bill that showed both my name and address. They bumped my limit from $3,000 all the way up to $20,000.
You can find the PayPal support email by searching for "support."

It feels like I'm shouting into a void here—not that I expected much, but still... does really nobody know anything?😕The first two questions are really what I’m sweating over here—if my current outgoing transaction limit is sitting at $4,500 and my Intel Core i7 deposit limit is capped at $1,000, I can't help but wonder... what kind of limits are we looking at if I actually manage to pull off verifying my address and my USD account? It feels like a long shot, but a guy can dream, right? Anyway... thanks in advance. Also, for some reason, I just cannot find a single email for Mastercard customer support anywhere... it's driving me a bit crazy... 🙂

Roughly $35,000... over a 90-day stretch...
Yeah, I'm with you on that—definitely.
It always comes... eventually.

I ran into the exact same issue once. What worked for me was heading over to their sister site, PartyBets. I managed to snag a bonus code there after Bryan Adams6 sent me an invite—the code was right there in the email request.

So, you probably need to find someone connected to PayPal and ask if they can send you something similar, or just head over to PartyBets and ask me or Bryan Adams6 to hook you up with a similar deal. 😁

Thanks!
A few more things: can you actually do double chance bets on Bet365, like betting on 1X or X2? I'm a total newbie here and I'm still trying to find my way around... I'm even having trouble just locating the basic 1 X or 2 options...
And from what I can see, you can bet while the game is live. So, what's the catch there? Like, couldn't I just dump everything I have into a team leading 3-0 about ten minutes before the whistle blows and basically guarantee a win? Where's the trap? Are the odds just tiny, or do they limit how much you can put down?

Yeah, you can do double chance. Just look for "double chance" and the options will pop up.

The interface is pretty different from our local sportsbooks here. It's organized by sport—you'll see the list on the left side. If you want football, just hit NFL and the menu opens up. You can click Next 24 Hours if you want to see what's coming up soon, or just browse by continent or country. For example, if you click France, you'll see Ligue 1 and Coupe de France. Pick one, or check both boxes on the left and hit Create Coupon to see all the games from those leagues at once.
Every match has its own breakdown. When you find a game, you'll see a number next to a ">" sign; click that to see the detailed stats for that specific match. It’s not rocket science, just don't go overboard if you aren't sure what the terms mean.

As for live betting, man, the selection is insane. But listen, in the 80th minute when a team is up 3-0, sure, the odds might be 1.01 or 1.03... but that doesn't mean it's a safe bet. Betting on something with such tiny returns isn't smart. Live betting is a dangerous drug. Better to learn how the house works before jumping headfirst into the chaos of live wagering.

Honestly, I’m feeling pretty let down by bet365 right now—their NBA player props are super thin. I could've sworn they had way more variety last season, even for things like assists and rebounds. Or maybe I'm just blind and can't find them? Does anyone know which sportsbooks actually offer deeper markets for the NBA?
