Getting paid in person?

Would one of the larger books pay a balance to a customer directly? I mean if I had a 5 figure balance with a book in Jamaica couldn't I just plan a vaction there and just pick it up? What am I missing?

I don't know how the currency exchange would work . I asked a similiar question about Antigua and got negative responses about the currency.
Maybe different with Jamaica.

Licensing requirements for offshore books in most countries require that a third party be involved in all financial transactions as a safe guard against money laundering.

My guess is this would not fly. At best, they might be able to give you a check there but not actual currency.

Even more innovative would be for them to pay you HERE (in the US) in person one way or another.

Maybe 2 hot chicks come to the door with a check!!!

no one has ever collected a cashout from an online sportsbook or casino directly in person as far as I know.

At the level of my usual balances I would just be happy for the two hot chicks. Take it out in trade and they could leave the check at home!

I have a suggestion for you.

Why not just find out where they bank in Jamaica and open an account there? Then when the Greek pays you they just do a transfer to your account at the bank, and then you can go pick it up from your bank account or have it wired here.

Its totally legal to have an offshore bank account.
