Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

Yeah, I’m looking to get some clarity on the fees too—you know, those percentages or flat rates you have to swallow during a transaction (sorry if this has already been covered somewhere up the thread):

1) When I'm moving funds from my foreign currency account (either at JP Morgan Chase or Goldman Sachs) over to Moneybookers?
2) When I'm transferring from Moneybookers straight to an online sportsbook?
3) During a withdrawal from the sportsbook back to Moneybookers?
4) And finally, when pulling money from Moneybookers back into my foreign currency account?

EDIT: If I've managed to wrap my head around this correctly...

1) It's 1.9%
2) There shouldn't be anything
3) Nothing there either
4) Just a flat $1.80

Hey there. So, I’ve already got an account set up over at DraftKings. But I’m thinking about opening one at FanDuel too. Basically, if I open a FanDuel account, can I just use those retail vouchers to load cash directly into my balance?
I mean... I buy a voucher at a convenience store, get the activation code, and then just type that code in on the site to fund my account?

if i remember right, the funds should just show up in your balance automatically once you activate the voucher...

You don't have to do it at home; you could just do it at a gas station down the street.☕

Now I just have to figure out how to send more cash over to that MB account.

Here’s a little pro-tip for verifying your JP Morgan Chase Visa for Moneybookers: if you check your online banking right after the transaction and it shows something like $1.57, it means they actually deducted one cent—so $0.01—leaving you with $1.56. That’s the number you need to type in.
Keep in mind this rule only applies if the amount is UNDER 2 bucks. If it’s $2.00 or more, you subtract two cents. So, if you see $2.42, the actual amount is $2.40...

Just a heads up, I'm talking about dollars here—I figured this out through some digging on my own. I'm not 100% certain if the cutoff is exactly at the $2.00 mark or if it's slightly higher or lower... basically, if it shows $1.97 and you try $1.96 but it tells you that's wrong, then the real amount is $1.95... either way, this is way faster than sitting around for a week waiting for the official statement to show the real amount...

4) when moving funds from Moneybookers back to a foreign currency account?

4) It's about $1.80

1) Honestly, JP Morgan Chase is probably your best bet. They charge 0.5%, but there's a $13 minimum fee. So, if you're only trying to move $5, you're still getting hit with the $13 full minimum. It's like at ZABI, where that minimum is $67... :S
2) 0%
3) 0%
4) MB edit takes about $1.80, and JP Morgan Chase always claws back $1.01 from me too, regardless of how much you're moving..

Greetings.
Does anyone here have any experience using DraftKings?
I personally use their platform for both sports betting and casino games.
How reliable are they when it comes to processing payouts?
If I manage to turn a bit of a profit, I am planning to withdraw roughly $250 to $350 directly to my bank account, so I was wondering if they tend to cause any issues during that process.

Hey everyone! Quick question... I've got a checking account over at JPMorgan Chase with a Visa debit card, but I'm hitting a wall. I tried making a payment through PayPal and it just keeps getting declined, even though my account isn't frozen and everything looks totally fine on my end. It’s doing the exact same thing when I try to use it at DraftKings, too. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks!

I have a brilliant solution for you... just call your aunt who works at JPMorgan Chase and she'll have it sorted out in two minutes flat. That's definitely your easiest bet.😉

Look, I’ve said it a dozen times already... that JPMorgan Chase card just doesn't work for online stuff.

Michael Ross39 said:Hey guys.
Anyone here actually used DraftKings before?
I've been hitting them up for some bets and playing the casino games.
How's their payout situation?
If I actually manage to pull a win, I'm looking to move maybe $200-$300 straight to my bank account, so I'm wondering if they're going to give me a hard time or whatever...

They never give you any grief. Just gotta send over a photo of your ID before that first payout goes through.
Took about three days for mine to hit my card via bank transfer.

Michael Ross39 said:Hey there.

I've been placing some bets there and playing in Las Vegas.
How are they regarding payouts?
If I actually manage to turn a profit, I’d like to withdraw maybe $200-$300 directly to my bank account—so I'm wondering if they cause any issues or anything like that...

If you're looking to withdraw winnings, just forget about the casino portion entirely. 🙂

I’ve got some cash sitting in my DraftKings account, so I was wondering—can I actually transfer this to a standard checking account, or am I stuck with just a basic debit card withdrawal?
I'm asking because I've never dealt with anything like this before, and I don't even have a primary checking account set up yet...

Hey everyone,
I have a quick question... does anyone happen to know if there's an online sportsbook out there that doesn't charge a margin on the juice, but still accepts double chance bets like 1X or X2?

I have a question—does anyone know of an online sportsbook that doesn't charge a margin on double chance bets, specifically for outcomes like 1X or X2?

DraftKings, BetMGM... and the rest of them.

all 😁 that aren't based in the US 🙂

I truly appreciate the advice. I have unfortunately already learned that lesson the hard way.
That Las Vegas experience is a devastating thing, and quite frankly, it can be ruinous 😢

Colleagues, does our local bank raise any red flags if they notice funds hitting my account from a betting site?
Specifically, I’m asking about Chase... the payout would be coming from Unibet.
I’ve heard rumors that when they spot transfers like this, they might call you in to sign various compliance documents or something similar... and honestly, I really don't want the headache of dealing with that!

I think I saw someone earlier asking for some clarity on what the fees look like over at PayPal, so I figured I’d just drop a helpful link right here for anyone who needs it https://www.paypal.com/webapps/help/article/fee-information

Never had any issues with Chase before.🤷
