Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

Mark Kelly said:So I tried doing this on DraftKings too, but it's telling me the funds I put in via PayPal aren't cleared for gaming. I tried to change the setting, but it’s still acting up—I guess maybe I have to re-upload the cash for it to actually work.🤷

Plus, I can't even withdraw anything back to my PayPal because it keeps showing me this. I don't have a credit card handy, and I'm honestly not even sure what they mean by a bank account.😕

Well, if you already flagged that card as non-gaming, you're probably stuck using it through PayPal for now. Maybe just try depositing directly into DraftKings with that card or find some other way to get it done.

I went ahead and changed the setting to gaming, but back when I actually made the deposit, it wasn't set up that way. I guess I could try withdrawing the funds back to my card and then re-depositing via PayPal, but I'm honestly not sure how to even get money from PayPal back onto a card.

Try transferring something like $25; some betting sites will hit you with a commission.

When you see an option like "pay from current balance" under the payment methods, you should be able to move the funds.

When you get to that part where it asks you to choose a payment method, if you see an option like "pay from current balance" or something similar, I guess you can just transfer the funds that way. Maybe.

So, that’s why I struck out. But there's another issue entirely. I went ahead and flagged my card as non-gaming on PayPal, and now it won't let me use it for any sportsbook at all. I've already transferred the funds back to the card, but now I'm stuck because I can't re-upload any cash until I enter a specific amount. I typed in the wrong figure, so now I have to sit around and wait until tomorrow. I guess I'm wondering how I can actually find out what that exact number is? Here is what I'm looking at. I suppose I should probably mention this. It’s about using PayPal for certain transactions. I don't know if everyone will agree with my take on it, but I think there are some specific ways to handle things that might be useful. Maybe. It's just something worth looking into if you're trying to navigate the usual hurdles.

Mark Kelly said:That’s exactly why I hit a wall—but there's more to it. I accidentally flagged my card for non-gaming use on PayPal, so now it won't let me deposit at any sportsbook. I already pulled the cash back to my card, but now I can't upload more funds until I enter a specific verification amount. I messed up the number I typed in, so now I'm stuck waiting until tomorrow. Does anyone know how to find that exact figure? Here's what I'm looking at: http://yfrog.com/jlmoneybookers4p

That screenshot you posted is just for verifying the card. Just hang tight for 2 or 3 days—you gotta give the exchange rate a second to settle—and then check your bank statement. You'll see a small transaction sent over to PayPal. You need to enter that exact amount, down to the penny, before they'll let you deposit from your card again. And seriously, this time make sure you actually select "GAMING" as the purpose.

Yeah, I’m not sure what your bank calls it, but on my end, it’s just online banking. You log in, check your transaction history, and see how much was charged—it should be a tiny amount, maybe somewhere between a penny and ten cents. You have to enter that exact amount into PayPal to verify the card is actually yours. Apparently, the amount can fluctuate slightly due to exchange rates, so just wait for the recommendation from the guy who posted before me.

It should be something tiny, maybe like a penny or two. You have to enter that exact amount into PayPal so they can verify the card belongs to you. I guess that number might shift slightly depending on the exchange rate, so maybe wait until you get a recommendation from someone who's already done this.

It shows up on my PayPal account too, but it's listed in dollars. Can I just check this at an ATM? And which figure am I looking for—the one from when I loaded funds onto PayPal, or the one from when he withdrew back to his card?

I suspect they’ll pull the funds as soon as you register the card, before you even send the money. I'm not sure if it shows up on an ATM statement. Are both your card and your PayPal account set to USD? If the currencies don't match, you might run into trouble over those small cents; you have to be exact down to the penny here.

slywolf57 said:I suspect they might pull the funds before you even send anything, probably right when you register the card there. I'm not entirely sure if an ATM would show that transaction clearly. Is your card and Moneybookers account both set up in USD? If you're dealing with different currencies, you might run into issues with that tiny amount, since you have to be exact down to the last cent.

Both my card and Moneybookers are in USD, but the system is insisting I enter the figure in Euros.

Could it be one of these amounts? http://yfrog.com/jqmoneybookers5p

Alright, I managed to pull it off. Now I'm wondering about when I want to withdraw my funds from DraftKings—which account number am I supposed to enter? Should I use the one printed on my debit card, or that ABA Routing Number?

I have a question regarding online casinos—not sports betting, but specifically online roulette
Generally, when you sign up, they ask for your full name, address, city, and basically everything else
So, I'm wondering, once you fill all that out, what happens next? What am I actually supposed to do (like, do I need to mail physical letters to them or something?

Look, you’re just putting down your account number—your IBAN is basically just the specific identifier for your bank account (which is short for International Bank Account Number or something along those lines)...

So, just got an email hitting my inbox...

For today's UEFA Champions League matches, DraftKings is offering a little cash back up to $100 if you're betting on total goals, exact scores, and a few other things... honestly, it feels worth the gamble since the odds are absolutely massive—not much to lose, really, right?

Anyway, there it is... good luck out there, folks!

They rarely send anything physical to your house, honestly. It’s mostly just because they need to verify you aren't some underage kid trying to get into a casino or place bets on DraftKings. If they need to confirm everything is legit, they’ll ask for your ID just to make sure the info you typed in actually matches who you are.

Roughly how long does it take for money from DraftKings to actually hit my bank account? It’s already showing up as sent on their end, but nothing's showing up in my balance yet.

feralranger81 said:Roughly how long does it take for funds from BetMGM to hit my US bank account? It shows up as "sent" on the site already.

give it about 5 days

Can anyone suggest an online casino that doesn't have issues with payouts in the US
that also offers roulette

Sophia Hall87 said:Can you walk me through how to deposit into Moneybookers? Like, what info do I need to put on the transfer slip and all that?

If you've got a US bank account set up, just hit the upload option, plug in your card number and those last three digits on the back, and you're golden—assuming you've already gone through the verification process with MB.

Walter Edwards said:Well, you just enter your account number. Your Routing Number is basically just your bank account identifier (short for something like International Bank Account Number or whatever)...

That can't be right. I actually went down to my local Chase branch today and the guy there told me to just put in my account number. He said if the system doesn't accept that, then I should use the full routing details which are about 21 characters long—it starts with the US country code, then some digits, and then the rest of my specific account info.

Exactly—I totally butchered my wording up there. A Routing Number is basically what you use for business within the States, and the SWIFT code is just that specific identifier for the bank itself...

Anyway, that guy at the bank gave you solid advice, even if I personally don't think using a standard account number would've caused any headaches. Honestly? Just stick to using a card for stuff like this. It’s way easier.
