Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting?

It’ll be an uphill battle—most of them accept the international version of Paysafecard, but finding one that works with our local currency is a rare exception.

thanks 👍

By the way, it looks like Bet365 isn't even offering bonuses for anyone living here in the States anymore.

I touched on this a bit earlier. They don't bother giving you anything right when you sign up, but if you're an established player here in the States, they’ll definitely hit you up with those deposit bonuses.

Greetings, everyone.

I’ve been having quite a bit of success betting on DraftKings lately, so I decided it was time to put my secondary system to the test over at FanDuel.
The reason I picked them is simple: while browsing their site, I was hit with a targeted offer for a $25 bonus if I made a deposit within the next five hours. There was a minimum requirement of $10.
I figured, why not? It seemed like a no-brainer. To make matters even better, while I was in the middle of transferring my funds, I was presented with yet another offer—a 100% match on my deposit, up to $25.

It is clear these are two separate promotions; I was already aware of the 100% match offer, but this first one caught me completely by surprise.

However, neither of these bonuses has actually hit my account yet. Is there typically a processing delay while they verify my information, or have I somehow botched the process?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve got a serious issue with Winston (Williams)

I placed a bet on Duvnjak to score under 4.5 goals in the semifinals (for $420, so nothing crazy), and every major American news outlet (like the S&P 500 trackers) reported he finished with 4. But some blind idiot over at the International Handball Federation decided to credit him with a fifth.

Here is what the International Handball Federation website says, which proves it's an error:

The official document claims Duvnjak scored at 23:19.

However, check out this footage:

At the 16:52 mark, you can clearly see it was actually Mandalinić (No. 23).

Winston is flatly refusing to pay out my ticket—regardless of the fact that I sent them the proof and the video—because they're hiding behind the International Handball Federation as the "official" source. I don't even know what to do. I emailed the International Handball Federation, but since they're likely working standard office hours, I won't hear back until Monday. And honestly, who knows if they'll even bother reading it.

So, was that some kind of sarcasm suggesting $450 isn't a huge amount of money? 🙄

Besides, the house rule here is pretty clear: don't go throwing around numbers regarding salaries or profits without actual proof.

Well, if you're looking to place a bet, this definitely isn't 🙂

I'm not holding my breath on a win here. I doubt the IHF is actually gonna go back and change their official report, and since the betting shops all run off those numbers...

I get what you're saying, but the whole world was watching this. This isn't some local NBA game; it's the World Championship semifinals.

Even on the official tournament site, they’re crediting that goal to Mandalinić (you can see it right there on the timeline and in the play-by-play), yet somehow they recorded 5 goals for Duvnjak. If you actually do the math based on the timeline entries, it clearly adds up to 4.

I found myself navigating a remarkably similar predicament last summer during the Euros. UEFA’s official site actually published an incorrect result—specifically regarding the corner count—and they flatly refused to settle my bet immediately. They insisted on waiting two full days until they had officially corrected the error on their end. At this stage, one can only sit tight and hope that the IHF follows a similar protocol to rectify things.

And Bičanić got 6 instead of 7... so there's our missing point.

Yeah... I sent them an email with a full breakdown of the situation. Hopefully they actually listen and fix it, but it's a real pain that I’ll probably be stuck waiting until Monday now. It's frustrating because there's so much great stuff scheduled to play tomorrow.

Out of all the different sportsbooks I used for my bets (DraftKings, FanDuel, and the State Lottery), only DraftKings actually gave me a hard time about the "over 4.5 goals" line. They initially reached out saying that according to the official stats, there should have been five goals, but after they did their own deep dive into the footage, they concluded there were only four. So, they settled up my tickets regardless. Honestly, I have to hand it to them for being so thorough

Does anyone know if we can use Paysafecard to deposit on bet365 here in the States? I’m looking for someone who actually has first-hand experience, because I tried asking their live chat support earlier and ended up talking to some guy who seemed totally clueless. He didn't really grasp my question at all, and honestly, he didn't sound very reliable... I know there were a lot of people running into issues with bet365 deposits via PSC last year, so I was wondering if things have been smoothed out since then? Also, if I were to pick up a card from $67 at a local convenience store, would that automatically convert into USD—or whatever currency I have set on my account?

I’m asking because I tried hitting up their live chat, but the guy on the other end was completely clueless and honestly didn't inspire much confidence. I know there were some issues last year with people trying to use PSC on bet365—has that been sorted out yet? Also, if I pick up a card for $67 at a local CVS, will it automatically convert to my chosen currency on the site?

You're asking the wrong people when you go through bet365; you really need to check with http://www.paysafecard.com/ to get a straight answer (though yes, you can use it on bet365), and then you should head over to
http://www.paysafecard.com/exchange/...hp?language=en to verify the conversion to dollars or whatever else you need, since your voucher is issued in

He had zero clue what I was even asking and sounded totally sketchy. I know people were having massive issues depositing via PSC last year—has that been fixed? Also, if I grab a card for $67 at a 7-Eleven, will it just automatically convert to whatever currency I have set on my account?

I know the answers to everything you just asked, but I'm not telling you. Go read a few pages back since it's all already been covered. 🙂

Here in the US, anything is possible if you try hard enough...

Since we can open an account at basically any bank in the UN now, how would they even monitor that?

There is, @agent5, but there's hardly any point to it. 🤣

How does the process work exactly with PayPal?
