Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

neonjackal2 said:Bet365 kind of let me down with their lack of NBA player props. I could've sworn they had them last season—even stuff for assists and rebounds. Or am I just blind? Anyone know some good sportsbooks with better NBA prop spreads?

They didn't have them last year either..

Thanks so much for being patient and answering all my questions!
I'm just sitting here waiting on these slow, incompetent banks to finally mail me my card. I'm hoping I can just use my Zabin card on bet365 in the meantime. Honestly, I wish I could just shut these banks down entirely—they feel like they do nothing but rob people blind. A necessary evil, I guess...
Don't worry, I know how to keep myself in check. If I didn't, I wouldn't be getting into online betting in the first place, but thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks a ton for being patient and actually answering my questions!
Just sitting here waiting on these incompetent, snail-paced banks to finally mail me my card. I guess I can probably just use my Zabin card on bet365 for now. Honestly, I’d love to just shut these banks down entirely—they're nothing but legalized thieves, just robbing us blind. A necessary evil, I guess...
Don't sweat it, I know how to keep myself in check. If I didn't, I wouldn't even be touching online betting in the first place, but thanks for the heads-up!

Mastercard only.
Was talking about this here recently.

I’ve got some cash sitting in my bet-at-home account. Honestly, this sportsbook is a total disaster—the selection is pretty much non-existent. They don't even have all the NBA games listed. Even over at MUT today, they only offer the moneyline, total goals, and the handicap on the main game. It's just weak... Has anyone actually managed to withdraw money from their account? They're telling me a card transfer isn't possible. How did you guys get your payouts?

I just use Mastercard and my card. 🤷

Which card, Visa? I keep getting a message saying no cards are available. Also, do they charge any fees for withdrawals?

Hey everyone! I have a quick question for those of you who have some experience using PayPal!

If I want to deposit a specific amount into my bet365 account, is the workflow basically me sending funds from my bank account over to my PayPal account first, and then transferring it from PayPal over to bet365—and then doing the exact opposite when it comes time to withdraw? I haven't really dealt with online transactions much, so if someone could just confirm whether I'm on the right track or totally off base, I'd really appreciate it!

p.s. Also, if my logic is correct, is there any major trick or anything crucial I should watch out for when handling these kinds of PayPal transactions?

Personally, I rely exclusively on PayPal for everything. You just fund the account using your card, and the money hits instantly, which lets me move it right away to any sportsbook, casino, or poker site I feel like playing on.

When it comes to withdrawals, though, the process is reversed. Moving funds from those sites back into PayPal isn't immediate—it usually takes a few days depending on the specific platform and how long the bank takes to process it.

If there’s some hidden catch or a trick I’m missing, I’m certainly not aware of it.🤷 Everything else remains quite straightforward and efficient.

Look, you gotta go to the bank transfer section, not the individual cards part. 😉
That's where you fill out all those fields—Bank, BIC (SWIFT), IBAN, Amount. 👍

And obviously, the bank account has to be in the exact same name as the betting account holder.

Does anyone who’s actually used Pinnacle know what they're looking for here?

Front of your Credit Card

Back of your Credit Card (Please do not include the 3 digit CVV2 or CVC2 Card Security Code when scanning the credit/debit card information)

Credit Card Statement
I'm totally lost on that last requirement.

Credit Card Statement
The last part isn't clear to me.

Just scan those documents and send them over. If you have a phone with a decent camera, you can just snap photos—that’s what I did.

As for the last one, that's their own form; you just need to download it from their site. Print it out, fill it in, scan it, and send it back. You've got to get it done within 3 days of your first deposit.

I honestly haven't seen any option to download anything, yet this part is just jumping out at me.

I'm still feeling a little lost regarding this section of the form under

2. PAYMENT DETAILS

Regarding "Initial Deposit Date/Amount/Currency"—what am I actually supposed to put here? I've already gone ahead and made my deposit.

Hey there! I have one more question regarding bet365. If I'm understanding this correctly, my Citibank foreign currency account comes with a debit card, so wouldn't I be able to just transfer funds directly from that account to my bet365 betting account using the card? That way, I wouldn't even need to touch PayPal at all. Has anyone here had any experience using bet365 with this specific payment method, or is what I'm describing actually possible?

Arthur Martin13 said:Hey! Got one more question about bet365. If I'm reading this right, my Citibank foreign currency account comes with a debit card, right? So couldn't I just use that debit card to move money straight from my Citibank account to my bet365 account? Like, skip using PayPal entirely? Has anyone actually tried doing that with bet365? Is that even an option?

Yeah, you can do a direct Visa <--> sportsbook deposit
One big reason why Mastercard

Joshua Garcia8 said:Mastercard is solid because it helps you sidestep all those US tax regulations on gambling winnings. I haven't heard of anyone getting hit with taxes for moving money from a sportsbook <--> bank account yet, but once the IRS really tightens things up, I doubt they'll let that money slip through the cracks.

Joshua Garcia8 said:Yeah, you can definitely make a direct deposit using a Visa electron card straight into the sportsbook
One of the main reasons why Meridianbet

Alright, everything is making a lot more sense to me now, thanks so much for the help! 🙂

I’ve been catching up on the last few pages here, though I must admit I haven't quite grasped the full picture yet—so I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light... To set the scene, I just applied for a JPMorgan Chase Visa Electron card a few minutes ago; it should arrive in about two weeks, and I'd like to be properly prepared...

The question is, can I deposit funds directly into Bwin or Bet365 using that card? Or am I forced to send the money to Meridianbet via the card first, and then transfer it from there to my sportsbook account... And, for that matter, is it even possible to move funds to Meridianbet using my Visa?

Thanks in advance

Can I deposit directly into Bwin or Bet365 using that card, or do I have to send money to MB via the card first and then move it from MB to the bookie? And can I even send cash to MB using the Zaba card at all?

Thanks in advance

Nah, you won't be able to use it for betting sites. And since PayPal is out of the question too, I'm guessing MB is a dead end as well. That's actually why I closed my account with them and moved everything over to Citigroup.

wiredpilot2 said:You can't use it for betting—and since PayPal isn't an option either, I suspect Moneybookers is off the table too. That’s actually why I closed my account with them and moved everything over to Citigroup.

You have to be kidding me... 🙂 and I've already listed the funds above... 🙂

jadedrifter28 said:Give me a break... 🙂 I already mentioned the cash situation above.... 🙂

My bad, I totally messed that up. You can actually deposit and withdraw directly! 👍

I basically swapped out betting sites for PayPal and eBay. 😉

Hey there!

I’ve been scrolling through a few different sites—checked out Pinnacle, Bet365, Betsson, Interwetten, and Expect—and honestly, none of them have the kind of variety when it comes to game handicaps that you see over at DraftKings or HL. Like, in a single tennis match, they’ll offer a spread of -3.5, -4.5, or -5.5, all with their own specific odds. Most of these places just give you one option, like -4, where the odds are basically a coin flip, maybe 1.85/1.85 or something like that...

Does anyone know of an online sportsbook that actually offers a deeper selection of game handicaps?
