Does anyone know if any sportsbooks will allow you to have your winnings sent to someone else. For instance, can I request that a sportsbook deposit my winnings to a friend of mind via Prepaid ATM. I want to mention that my friend is not a member of this sportsbook, he just has a Prepaid ATM account. Does anyone know if any sportsbook will allow me to send my winnings to anothers account, as my choice of withdrawing it.

Aloha for you assistance , Co-Captain

Captain, in my experience, beginning a couple of years ago, they will not allow it. The main reason they say is because of the possibility of money laundering. If you have a very good relationship with the owner or management of a sportsbook, at times they may send some of your funds to your wife's account, but normally they only will send your cash to you, in your name. This began a couple years back when some senators started saying that off-shore gambling was being used to launder money and could possibly be being used to fund terrorists.

Ridiculous huh?

Olympic allows you to transfer money from your account to another's Olympic account - but don't know of any book offering what you described.

you could get your own prepaid atm card and then have the book xfer $$$ to that card and then for a couple of bucks you could then xfer it to your friends card.

I doubt a book would want (or should) xfer money to anyone other then the account holder for obvious security reasons.
