I don't have one yet, so I'm missing out on 😁—I guess I'm just not quite sure how it all works!

And what's the big deal with opening a PayPal account? 🤷
Just grab their card and hit up an ATM to pull your cash out. ☕

Can I actually run accas or doubles on the DraftKings mobile app? All I can manage are singles. Can't find any parlay options anywhere. Someone fill me in...

So, I’m looking at this right now and, honestly, it’s just one of those things where nothing seems to work quite right, doesn't it? The only real way to get around it is to scroll all the way down to the very bottom of the page and toggle the settings so it displays the "full site," and once you've done that, everything should finally behave! Of course, you'll probably have to play around with the zoom levels to make it look decent, but it works!

He bet against the house odds and walked away with millions
Is 1.22 really considered an underdog move when you're playing against the bookies? 😂

Can someone please drop some recommendations for a decent sportsbook? I am absolutely fed up with FanDuel—I’ve been stuck using them constantly, and the level of dishonesty is just unbelievable. It's ridiculous.
It looks like I can't get anything moving over at TitanBet either—something is blocking me there.

What’s your take on DraftKings and FanDuel??
I personally use Betfair. It seems like a decent sportsbook, I guess.

High stakes:
10bet
DraftKings
betfair
Mid-range stuff:
DraftKings
FanDuel
unibet
There are plenty more out there, but I've mostly stuck to this list.
Btw, DraftKings, DraftKings, FanDuel, and 10bet have solid, fast payouts to debit or credit cards... usually takes a day or two.
I haven't used betfair personally, but I've spent ages lurking on forums and reading reviews. Most people say they're easily in the top 3.

It hasn't just been a day or two... we're looking at maybe 5 to 7 days now. Regarding FanDuel—they’ve got an absolutely top-tier interface, even if they do play fast and loose with their statistics. I’ve completely fallen for the user experience, and honestly, it’s hard to walk away once you're hooked—especially when you compare it to Betfair or some other budget-tier site.

Regarding DraftKings, the payout situation is legit. The money hits my card by the second day, no questions asked. I've never run into an issue there. Limiting accounts, though, is a whole different headache. 🙄
Anyway, does anyone recognize this sportsbook? These guys over on Reddit keep posting these "guaranteed winning slips" every five minutes. https://www.facebook.com/21551011517...type=1&theater

Jacob Thomas78 said:Man, I just tried to toss about $10 over to FanDuel.com using PayPal... and unlike usual, PayPal blocked the transaction with a note saying: It is PayPal policy not to allow residents of your country of registration to make payments to gambling / casino / poker / bingo merchants. I don't even see those "gambling" vs "non-gambling" options in my account settings anymore.
At this point, I don't really care about the "why"—I get it, there are laws and all that—but I want to know if there's any other service I can use, assuming we're even allowed to make these kinds of moves anymore. More importantly, I need to know if I can actually pull money out, not just push it in. PayPal was incredibly convenient for me; I’d move winnings to my PayPal account, wait a few hours, and then immediately grab the cash using my PayPal card. No waiting 4 or 5 business days for some bank transfer to clear. I just tried to trigger a $10 withdrawal myself just to see what happens.
Basically, I'm facing the exact same dilemma.
I’ve been using PayPal for deposits and withdrawals at FanDuel without a hitch. Now, I’m trying to move funds from my bank to PayPal, but I'm getting hit with that gambling/non-gambling prompt. If I select "gambling," it asks for my bank's authorization code, and honestly, I’m not looking to mess around with that right now.
Is it a total guarantee that they'll block my withdrawals if I choose "non-gambling"? I can't quite remember how I handled it last time—maybe that setting wasn't even an issue back then—but my withdrawals always went through smoothly without any drama.
Look, I realize using a debit card is probably the path of least resistance, but... if there's a way to bypass that headache entirely, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

If you select "non-gambling," they won't let you deposit to the sportsbook. You could always try sending money to a different PayPal account instead, which should bypass the issue (meaning you'd need two or more PayPal accounts on hand).

I’ve been moving money back and forth through PayPal on FanDuel without any issues. Now I’m trying to move some cash from my bank account over to PayPal, but I keep getting hit with that prompt asking if it’s for gambling or non-gambling stuff. If I pick the gambling option, it asks for my bank's security code, and honestly... I really don't feel like messing around with that right now.
Is it a total guarantee they'll block my withdrawals if I just go with the non-gambling route? I can’t even remember how I handled it last time—maybe I didn't even deal with this choice—but my payouts went through totally fine, no drama at all.
Look, I get that using a debit card is probably the easiest way to go, but man... if I can just bypass that headache, I really would.
If you select non-gambling, you'll be able to load your PayPal, but there's zero chance you'll be able to transfer that cash to any "gamble" sites.
And honestly, I have no clue what code you're talking about, because the whole process for moving money from a card to PayPal stays the same whether you pick gambling or non-gambling.🤷
Anyway, I dealt with a mess like this for a while, but turns out it was just PayPal having technical glitches... they were doing some massive reorganization or whatever, and half their stuff was broken... once they finished their whole new site setup, I suddenly got upgraded to unlimited status and all the headaches just vanished... now I can move as much as I want, whenever I want, and more importantly, wherever I want. 😁

Hey, does anyone know what I'm supposed to do here? Is it even possible to get my money out onto this specific card? I used it to deposit without a single issue—it's a Visa Paywave card.
Thank you for choosing DraftKings.
We noticed you recently requested a withdrawal from your DraftKings account to a credit or debit card. Our bank has informed us that this transaction could not be completed. As a result, the funds have been credited back to your DraftKings account.
Could you double-check with your bank to ensure they actually permit gambling-related withdrawals to this particular card?
Just a heads-up: if you are attempting to use a MASTERCARD or maestro card then WE are unable to process withdrawals to these cards, and you'll need to opt for a bank transfer instead.
If you run into any issues or have further questions, feel free to reach out to our Customer Service team at care@marathonbet.com and we'll be more than happy to help you out.

They’re trying to hit me with a $5 fee just for a bank transfer—is there any way I can move my payout to a different card without getting slapped with a commission?
