My sentiments exactly. It's too damn difficult to get money offshore and even harder to get it back. It was so easy with Neteller. If you saw a good number at a book, you requested money from Pinnacle and could shoot it over to the other book in a few minutes. Now it's a major hassle to move your money around. As long as you had a balance at Neteller you
could snipe numbers at will. Neteller was so efficient. The only delay was getting your money from your bank into Neteller. After that it was like changing tires at a pitstop in a Nascar race. I guess one can always move to Vegas or back there if you had left and fight the crowds and traffic to shop numbers on and off the strip. Nothing like being stuck in a car between Koval and Las Vegas Blvd on Flamingo trying to get to the Palms or Gold Coast to make a bet.

Getting payouts from alot of sportsbooks has always been the worst part of online gaming. They have NO PROBLEM taking your money for deposit - instant transaction. However, when the time comes to withdraw from account you need to come up with 4 different forms of ID plus photos and current utilty bills etc. Then the Kool=Aid drinking CSR's say that they do it for "your benefit...security because we care!" BULLSHIT! It is a deterrent to keep money in your account and risk it away, they don't want to part with it and they will throw any hurdle at you to make you not follow through on withdrawal request.
Hell, maybe I'll keep my word (I had no intention btw) and not gamble on football this year as I stated in other threads, just root for my teams instead.
FWIW, I agree in that you would think that their would be another Neteller up and running by now. Is Uncle Sam going to win this thing?
some sort of working system of E-checks would be a good start. I have to think volume will be way down at most books, and the small shops are risky. All these books can't exist with fewer customers and no Neteller like service.
You can't really tell how solid a book is. Some will operate on the post-up money until it's gone, payout fine.... then just stop paying like Nojuice,Panam,Cascade,etc.
How can you really tell if a book like a Wagerweb or Jazz is still good ?
Then the money flows into just a few books, and they can't process payments fast enough, fall behind, and start to look iffy,too. That makes the whole industry look bad.
It looks bleak for the future.
