US Friendly Sportsbook/Deposit Method

stinkpaw · #1 09-21-2007, 09:49 AM

Since I live in the 'Land of the Free,' I need to find a US friendly book with a doable deposit method. I was using Allstar but cashed out last year and the only way to deposit is thru Credit Card (and I've already had a couple cards locked when trying to deposit to poker/sports sites.)

Bodog takes US customers but I think the only deposit method would be transfers from bank accounts but I'm concerned that bank accounts will start to get frozen like credit cards.

Any advice?

Try Betus.com I have never had a problem depositing there. I have used 2 different cards at one time or another with success on a normal CC and one a debit/CC tied to my bank. It has been a while since my last deposit but I have referred people to them and they have not had problems with CC deposits.

Sportsbook takes my Wamu debit card and they mail you a check when you cashout. Some have complained about their slow cashouts, but I'm on 11 days since I cashed out and my check is due to be delivered to me today.

Sportsbook gets a worst reputation than it deserves but there are still 25 books better to use. BetUs is not one of them, neither is Oddsmaker (or anyone having anything to do with FutureBet).

Stinkpaw, if you have a bank debit card you might be surprised how many places it might be accepted. Bookmaker, Bet Jam, TheGreek all good places to try.

A lot of places will also pick up fees on Western Union deposits. If you post more about what you usually bet: ex: teasers, underdogs on spread, money lines etc. Then could give you better advice on which ones to try first.

If your stuck with just one book because of deposit difficulties it seems wise to start with the books that best meet your needs then from there start looking at which ones have the most convenient banking options.

I have been able to deposit via "pay now" into both dsi and BetGameDay. You use your CC to buy phone cards deal with this. 3% fee, which on the one hand didn't seem to bad, but I hate paying any kind of fees on this stuff. But, the gambling world has changed and I guess I can live with 3%; it beats the hell out of what some other options are trying to get (ex. 8.8%, 15%, etc).

Good luck!
