Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

Nicole Hill2 said:And why on earth does DraftKings always seem to be right next to all those other sportsbooks?? 🤷

Honestly, I felt better back when some guy actually bothered to set up a poll asking "Which online sportsbook is the best?"—and then he’d list things like DraftKings, FanDuel, or BetMGM in the options. 🤣

Marketing magic at work, I guess. 🙂

Timothy Taylor9 said:Hey everyone,
Does anyone know if you can still snag a bonus at an online sportsbook if you've already signed up, but haven't actually deposited any cash or placed a bet yet?
Thanks

Yeah, you're good to go.

Nicole Hill2 said:Basically, you have to roll over your total account balance 7 times at the specified odds—or higher (it should be in the terms somewhere, check again). Once that's done, you can withdraw whatever is left (good luck with that 😁).

So, you need to wager that $58 seven times (totaling $408). Not all at once, obviously. You could do ten bets of $122.50 or a hundred bets of $12.25...

And why on earth is DraftKings located right next to so many other sportsbooks?? 🤷

Got it. Thanks 🙂

Why DraftKings? 🤷
🤣

Edit:
"To request a withdrawal, you must wager the initial deposit amount at least 1 time, and the bonus amount at least 7 times through one or more bets exclusively on DraftKings (within two months of receiving the bonus). Otherwise, the bonus expires. Additionally, using this promotional bonus on other products in the DraftKings lineup (Casino, Poker, Electronic Arts) is prohibited."

There it is.
Meaning I have to wager what I deposited $25 at least once, and this $33 bonus 7 times.

If you want my honest opinion, Bet365 is hands down the king when it comes to having everything you could possibly want in a sportsbook, but if you’re actually looking for those juicy, unbeatable odds? Then you’ve gotta go with Pinnacle.

I was wondering if I could actually use my paysafecard codes on bwin now that I’m living in the States... Back when I was living in Canada, that was my go-to way to load my account, but since moving back to the US, I don't see the option anywhere. I’ve got a few hundred bucks worth of these cards just sitting here, and honestly, I really want to just get them loaded and withdraw the cash immediately. Does anyone know if there's any way to make this work through bwin? That's where my account is registered, so I'd really prefer to deal with them if it's even possible at all...

Is there any way to make this work through bwin since that's where my account is registered?

Honestly, I don't think bwin even accepts Paysafecard vouchers anymore—it makes sense, though, because you can't even pick them up easily here in the US, even if you could grab them abroad.

Why on earth can't they just make every single payment option available everywhere? It's ridiculous!

I mean, you can just go ahead and buy them or play on sites like bwin over in Canada... but I honestly don't get why Expekt is taking all our money when you can't even buy anything through them here in the States... it just makes zero sense to me.

Can someone from the Expekt betting community please walk me through how this works? I deposited my funds using a Paysafecard, but now I’m trying to figure out how to actually get that money back into my bank account. How do I pull it to my checking account, and honestly, how long am I going to be sitting around waiting for the cash to show up?? Also, what else do I need to provide besides my name? Do I need to drop an IBAN or something? What does that even mean in this context? Thanks.

You can actually find them right here in the US. Just check out Payingsafer(dot)com.

Hey there. I'm looking for some info—does anyone know which online sportsbook offers lottery-style games similar to what you'd find at DraftKings (things like Powerball, Mega Millions, number ranges, odd/even splits, total sum of numbers, etc.)? If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate the help!

Charles Bennett34 said:Hey, can any seasoned bettors help me out? I need to figure out how to withdraw funds I topped up using a Paysafecard—how do I get that money moved to my checking account, and what’s the typical wait time?? Also, besides just my name, what else am I supposed to provide? Do I need to list some kind of routing number or something? What does that even mean? Thanks!

Look, I know there's some outfit out there that basically acts as a middleman for buying tickets online.

They just take a cut of whatever you put down.

I can't remember the exact link off the top of my head, but they pretty much give you access to almost every major lottery in the world.

I really need some help from anyone who bets on DraftKings or deals with this kind of stuff...

So, look, I’ve got like a thousand bucks sitting in my DraftKings account, right? But here's the catch—I didn't have a linked bank account or a PayPal set up through the site because I originally just used Paysafecard vouchers to load it up. Now that I actually want to get my hands on my money, they're giving me the runaround. They told me if I want a direct transfer to my bank, I first have to make a deposit through the platform, and then I have to wait three business days before I can even *request* a withdrawal, which itself takes another one to three business days. I honestly don't have that kind of time, you know? So I hit up their support to see if there was a faster way, but those guys are useless... they just keep talking about bank transfers. I am so lost here.

Anyway, I went ahead and tried to withdraw via bank transfer. The money was deducted from my balance, but now who knows where it actually went.
First off, when it asked for the bank info, I just put in the details for my local Chase branch where my wife has her account setup.
In the past, I’ve withdrawn funds to a foreign currency account and never had an issue, but usually, they just ask for the account number. I typed in the number located right under my name and surname on the card. There are 12 digits there—is that okay? Or should I have used that long string of numbers running across the middle of my Chase debit card that starts with 4140...? I didn't use that one; I just used the one under my name.

Assuming I didn't screw everything up, how long do you think it'll take for the cash to actually show up in my account?

Thanks in advance, guys.

I honestly can't say for sure, but my understanding is that the account number is just whatever you typed in, while that 4140 sequence at the top is your actual card number... personally, I've never once had to enter an account number anywhere, it’s always been the card number itself 🤷

I don't really bet through online sportsbooks, but I'm thinking about making the switch since the terms seem way better than what I find at my local shops. I was wondering if anyone here who actually knows their stuff could weigh in: how does the selection for "both teams to score" or "team to score" in soccer look online compared to what you get at local spots like FanDuel or Lotto? Which sites even carry those markets, and are the odds actually better than our local options? It’s a big deal for me because that’s mostly what I play, so there's no point switching to an online platform if the variety is worse.

It's a huge deal for me because that's basically my entire betting strategy, so there’s zero point in me jumping ship to an online book if the variety and payouts are worse.

The odds on "both teams to score" are almost always higher online than they are at the local shops.
Just head over to Bet365 or Bwin and check out the lines for yourself.

shadowgardener10 said:I don't typically place my bets through online sportsbooks, though I have been contemplating a transition given that their terms tend to be more favorable than what one finds at the local neighborhood spots. I am simply curious if anyone here possesses a deeper understanding of these matters—specifically, how the offerings for markets like both teams to score or anytime goalscorer in soccer compare to the selections available at domestic establishments like FanDuel or Lotto? I would like to know which platforms even carry these specific markets and how their odds stack up against our local options. This is of particular interest to me because my betting strategy focuses heavily on these types of outcomes, making a move to an online platform entirely pointless if the selection is inferior.

Bet365 is quite respectable regarding that specific market, although the primary drawback is that they do not offer such granular detail across every single league; essentially, FanDuel offers a broader range when it comes to that particular niche.

Furthermore, in certain leagues, the settlement of those markets can be somewhat slower.

My suggestion would be to take some time to examine the odds on Unibet and Bet365 and then perform a direct comparison against the local bookmakers.

Nicole Hill2 said:Bet365 is actually pretty decent for that specific market, but the real kicker is they don't offer that level of detail across all the different leagues. Honestly, FanDuel covers way more ground when it comes to variety.

Plus, in certain leagues, their updates just lag behind.

If you want my advice? Go ahead and cross-reference the odds on Unibet and Bet365 against what the local US sportsbooks are offering. It's the only way to be sure.

That’s exactly why I always tell people you should be playing at least five to ten different online sportsbooks. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

I’m officially jumping ship! This is getting ridiculous—I’ve been waiting over a month for bwin to actually send my winnings to my bank account. I keep sending them emails, but honestly, they barely even acknowledge me.
After my third follow-up, they promised me everything would be settled within five days. Well, guess what? It’s been ten days now and still nothing! So, I finally bit the bullet and told them I’m taking legal action. 🤷

Does anyone else have a solid recommendation for a sportsbook that covers the NBA and tennis? Most importantly, does anyone know a place that actually pays out within a day or two?

That's an American sportsbook, though they had to move operations offshore because of some legal headache here in the States.
They honestly have the best lines you'll find for American sports.
As for tennis, Bet365 is pretty damn solid too.
