BItcoin help needed.

[dculh]

Hi. I live in California and sports betting is still not legal so I continue to bet off shore. I tried to send funds today via COINBASE but they are placing a 7 day hold before I can send it. Are there any other legit bitcoin companies that won't put a hold? I usually reup my account between $500-$800 so we are not talking about big money. I"m going to send the funds to heritagesports as I have always been able to get a payout within 24 hours when I want one.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Bottom Line: I want to be able to sign up and buy and send the bitcoin within an hour with no problems.

Thank you.

I won't claim to have expertise on this. But I can say that Coinbase MIGHT not like coins going directly to a sportsbook (if they identified it as such).

Best practice USED TO be sending coins to a wallet as an intermediary. Then send it to the sportsbook. Others can chime in and say if I'm way out of date on that.

As for other Exchanges? I can say that I hate these exchanges. I do think that Gemini has a pretty good reputation.

All legit US exchanges are likely to to not want to deal with you if they are forced to know you are sending to a non US licensed bookmaker.

They are not hot about it anymore but if something comes up they cant ignore you will have your account limited.

I think Heritage have a method where you can buy bitcoin to deposit direct through their cashier if that is your only book.

MoonPay debit/credit card but there is a fee. If you buy ACH, they all have a delay. Most sportsbooks allowing BTC purchases use MoonPay.

Hi, Raiders. I looked at MoonPay. Looks like a pretty solid outfit.

I was going to sign up, but declined. They can fk-off with all the KYC documents.

Get a cold wallet and eliminate the go betweens not to mention the security benefits of storing your own keys.
