I haven't played for a while and recently been thinking about getting back in the game. I stopped when Pinnacle ceased service in the US.

I haven't been keeping up with the news on the legal matters since then. Is there a safe way to play and a safe way to get a payout from a book nowadays?

Which books?

Thanks for the advice.

Pretty much every book that was safe before is safe now. The only difference is no more pinnacle and a little harder to deposit and withdraw than before.

Caesar's Palace is, I understand, a safe book.

What are some of the difficulties in depositing and withdrawing money. Do banks ask questions nowadays?

Long ways away but I agree.

So which books have people make successful withdraws from?

Is there any reason to worry when signing up and playing with a book?

chameleon- The legislation that the US passed isn't worth the paper that it's printed on. The US government has absolutely no authority over any offshore sportsbook. The thing that took me by complete surprise was that some chickenshit operations like Pinnacle and bet365 would actually stop taking US customers. There are other sportsbooks that caved in as well and stopped taking US customers. They all should have told the US to "Fuck off" but they bent over and took it in the ass from a government that has no authority over how they run their offshore sportsbook. That being said, the sportsbooks that still have some guts are doing business as usual. The inconvenience now is depositing and withdrawing. Since Neteller, which is another gutless company, stopped transactions with US customers you have to use other options for depositing and withdrawing. There's Moneygram, Western Union, bank wires and cashier's checks. There's probably other ways as well.

Allright guys, I'll admit I don't know what an agent is. How do they operate? What are their fees and how do you find one? I've heard agents mentioned at various times in forums but I don't know how that whole operation works. Can you guys fill me in? Thanks.

None of them are "safe" they all want their money when you lose.

betting Offshore- Is it safe

It is as hard to get money in as it is to get money out, if not harder.I would suggest you spread it around if not comfortable, even the best sometimes take more time than you want. Also, i would for sure find a local that has been around for a while and does this as a business and not a sideline.:drink:
