    As i said i don't direct send from there to bookies. I always use something in between the transaction. I'm not on their radar.

    Congrats to those who do not direct send. As bitcoin become more regulated the IRS will watch more closely and soon require all exchanges to file 1099-B.

    It’s funny those who commented “only idiots direct send”. I would argue you are idiots to sell to Gemini for 1% fee when for example, on any given day, I can get Gemini +2% rate for my coins, cash deposit on localbitcoins sell. 1.02 per $1 vs $0.99.

    I keep every bitcoin transaction in cash. No paper trail. Bank statements literally say cash withdraw and cash deposits. I would advise others to do the same.

    SARS reports just say I’m moving a good amount of cash. Does not imply income. I withdrew a lot in 2017. I own a mini vault, easily say I took cash out and put it back in.

    Unfort, that's not quite how audits work. You have to prove transactions are not income; the IRS doesn't have to prove anything.

    I’ve been going straight from book to Gemini for a couple of years now. No problems as of yet. I used to always put it through blockchain but when that period came when transactions were taking forever, I said fuk it.

    No huge deal if I ever get shut down. I’ll just go to another shop. Legal gambling will be here soon enough anyways.

    So by the small chance you do get caught, they just tell you not to do it again or you might get banned. Falling to see why I should care, going to go ahead and keep going direct. I mean, the address changes every time.

    I will continue to use Gemini and do the extra step. It sucks, but worth it.

    I can't wait until Sept. when I can make transactions in and out of Indiana books with no hassle.

    Yes, I understand the higher juice/big that will come, but it's a wash for not having to jump thru the bitcoin hoop.

    This. If you cant pay the minimal fee to avoid the risk, you probably shouldn’t be gambling to begin with.

    Or you simply don’t see a value to Gemini and give no care if they restrict you or not.

    Love when gambling degenerates try to lecture me on bitcoin. Been involved since late 2012 and was a moderator on bitcointalk for a couple years. Welcome to bitcoin, guessing 2017 for you?

    Oh and for all the advice givers, you’re a fool to keep your bitcoin on an exchange. Take a read sometime before you give the old “Exchanges are safe!”. Over 30 large “hacks”, users losing their balances.

    Hey guys - came across this and I'm new to using BTC solely with Bookmaker.

    I'm on Coinbase and it seems youre saying limit the transactions and don't send directly to and from?

    Do you have recommendations? I don't like a lot sitting on Bookmaker so cashed out $20k over two days since their withdrawal limit is $10k per day.

    I often buy a handful of transactions on Coinbase and send directly to Bookmaker for deposits and withdrawal straight to Coinbase.

    Do you mind me asking how they know it's coming from a Sportsbook? Thought there was no way to tell that.

    Would love pointers and what wallet to use, etc bc I completely do many transactions to and from. For instance, I took my $20k out and had a bad day, so deposited $2k the following morning, etc.

    An exchange called Gemini pays for the Bitcoin transaction fee for you. It's like an extra perk. Coinbase automatically takes network fees out when sending....

    If you aren't afraid of losing an exchange.... go ahead and just send straight from exchange to book.

    If you want to keep all of your exchanges... just purchase Bitcoin from the exchange... send to a bitcoin wallet... and then from that wallet send to your books.

    Apparently, exchanges know because books use the same addresses over and over at times...

    I don't think it is that. More likely they identify a wallet the book has used to consolidate all the incoming payments for exchange, and then trace backward anything that ended up there.

    I think you’re right Opti, and they can trace back from your intermediary wallet as well if they have the computing power and and actually want to but I don’t think they do. They just can’t tolerate blatant attempts to send straight to/from a know gambling wallet.
