Up until last year I did all my business with locals. I had 3 so line fluctuations usually aren't a problem. Last year I decided to try his offshore stuff. I used Bovada & 5 Dimes. They both allowed free deposits and since my deposits where fairly large and due to the success I had I managed to play all year maintaining a positive balance.
At years end getting my money from both sources was a bit of a challenge. It took almost a month to get paid due to only being allowed to request payments on certain days without fees and having to get money via Western Union from one. ( Didn't even know Western Union still existed)
This year I've procrastinated on making deposits until this week and I find they want a 4.9% fee to take my money. Now I'm not cheap however adding a 5% fee to deposits only adds to the juice and we all know the juice is what makes winning so much harder.
How is it so many people willingly pay this fee? I know they are charging us for the expense of using the credit services however most restaurants and businesses also have to pay that fee but they eat the expense in order to increase sales. How is it these offshore establishments who are raking in the cash don't absorb the expense?
Locals are no fuss no muss. I do see the convenience of offshore but the fees and red tape don't seem right. Am I the only one that sees these things as a reason to stay local.
