I've learned my lesson, Pinacle is great and on the level but no matter who: moving money freely with little or no fees is pretty much impossible.
I highly recommend getting a local book as they all farm out their office to a virtual office meaning we the players have an 800 to call and better yet we have a 24hr web site with live betting and so on and so forth.
Money changes hand locally or if you are lucky like I am you can transfer money back and forth between bank accounts/ATM.
My agent is in Florida and I sent him an ATM card that I use just for this. I transfer money into the account, tell him to take out $ with the ATM card and voila it's in my Book Acct - no fees, no hassle no photo copy this and fax that bull-hockey.
When I want to get paid he makes a bank deposit at the bank whic has a million branches all over the US. No fees, no hassle, no waiting, no having to argue about bonuses you didn't take or don't want. I get every penny I ask for.
Working with the Greek and other offshores 10 15 years ago was simpler than today.
For me Bonuses complicate things, not worth it and I refuse them ever time.
Lastly I signred up for a Bookmaker acct a few months ago, never funded it and after about two weeks I started to get a million sales and robo calls - no one has that number except for them as it is/was a throw away number.
