Sportsbooks will be fine over next few years

The offshore gambling Industry will continue to thrive with a few hiccups along the way. As US politics change so will the books. I wouldn't be at all concerned with ANY of the top 10 books including Bodog and Skybook. The USA Govt really is VERY limited in what they can and can't do. Deposit and withdrawal methods are a work in progress with new companies and methods appearing on the market every season. Watch several new companies pop up to take the place of the "vacuum"

calvin should take some of his billions and open up the next online wallet....charge small fees to send to books and FREE fees to send to his bodog....

he is the ONLY guy who continues to piss in the face of the US GOVT and he will NEVER back down...

its simple as that...

I'm not sure about "not being at all concerned", just doesn't make sense after pinnacle and neteller have pulled out. I agree that we won't be locked out of betting, but I have a lot of hoops to run through now that I didn't at this time last week.

Calvin has the opportunity to own the offshore world...

Just open a new ewallet.

Honestly, I think we'll see the top 20 books or so decide to do fee free transfers... None of them liked paying neteller.

They already did, but it required some calls and stuff... at least certain books with certain others they get along with.

Agreed...that's why I said in another thread that in a macro sense the official announcement that Neteller was out of the US was a net positive. The worst thing for everyone concerned is the uncertainty--once things get resolved then adjustments can be made and new options will appear...
