you should have pulled your money from there even before the online books started getting seized

Forgive me if this has already been addressed becasue I have read the entire thread, but I still don't see how this effects offshore bookmaking. Sure they can seize some domains and post scarey offical logos on them, but they have no jurisdiction to go after legal offshore books. And yes they can make transfering money back and forth somewhat cumbersome, but they have been doing that for years.

Meant to say "haven't read the entire thread."

If/When 5Dimes shuts down then you know there is big trouble. Tony has stated to everyone that will listen that he will not leave the U.S. market...period. So if the time comes and all of a sudden 5Dimes is no longer around/dealing with U.S. customers you know the shit has hit the fan.
From what I've been told from sources close to the old shop, Spiro has been dealing with a lot of processor headaches and constantly having to adjust almost weekly. He's an older guy and has plenty of money and it's not that he doesn't want MORE money, it's the fact that it's not simple GETTING the money anymore.
A lot of the old reliable processors are no longer taking the risk to move money from U.S. customers and you can't trust the new startups.. anyone willing to accept the risk is asking Spiro to essentially bend over and he's just sick of dealing with the trash. Makes perfect sense but that's what I've been told from old reliables.

Evidently you don't win much, because the same thing always happens with local books. As soon as you start winning, they start sqeezing you, and then you just don't get paid. All of my relationships with local have ended with them owing me money. One has owed me over $100k for 5 years. I haven't seen a penny of it, and never will. So in the end you can't win with a local because you will either lose and he'll love you, or you'll win and won't get paid.

Look into bitcoin sportsbooks and poker, bitcoin is p2p like bitorrent so it cannot be controlled by anyone, and that includes governments. So it is impossible to stop gambling using bitcoins.

Im assuming you won $100k in one week because after being up with a local & not collecting after that one week, I wouldnt be playing with him anymore until I got my money. So were you up $100k after just one week or did you continue playing hoping he would pay you & he was hoping you would lose?

Lets examine what would happen if you won 100K offshore....
* At a 3k limit per week per withdrawal by check (the most you can get out of most US facing books), it would take 33 weeks to get your winnings.
* At $50 per check, it would cost you $1,650 to get your money.
* And at 1 per week it would take about 8 months.
So 8 months, $1,650 cost to you, and 33 3k checks to deposit at your bank - 1 every week for 33 weeks.
Not too efficient.

Round out the list with about a half dozen other books that nobody has ever heard of or would want to play at, and you have a good snapshot of the world off offshore sports betting these days.
Imagine if it was your job to put together a top 10 list of sportsbooks for Americans? Its like trying to put together a top 10 list of honest politicians, maybe you can get one or two, but you get stuck about there.
It is now officially a top 8 list.
And we have debt ceilling debates while they leave an estimated 50B a year sitting on the table that nobody wants in tax revenue.

Thanks!
I was transferred as well. They are legit. I withdrew $800 immediately and left $300 in... Fed. Ex. check took 4 days to arrive.
Website and betting options are below average but heard they will make canges and additions.

It was over about a 10-11 day period.

I'm not sure if there was a withdraw limit at Bookmaker, but if there was I never ran into it. I always did withdrawal via wire transfer. I'm assuming that's a no no these days.
I have yet to fund my account for the college football season. I'm not really sure what I'll do yet, but I guess I better get some clarification as to what my withdrawal options are, and what the cost will be.
Thanks for the tip Vanzack.

Why wouldn't you hire some goon to get the money for a surcharge?
