Offshore won't thrive. Once all the States get everything up and running, offshore will suffer horribly. Majority of people will gladly go with a regulated, licensed sportsbook where they can bet from their mobile, cash out to their bank account within hours. Why would somebody bet with 5Dimes when they could legally bet with WilliamHill, Betfair/Fanduel, DraftKings, etc? They wouldn't.

This forum isn't indicative of the overall market. Such a tiny, minuscule percentage of gamblers are on here, and this forum isn't representative of that niche. This forum is just one small bubble in the entire ecosystem.

Regardless of what we think here on SBR, kredit kards are still the #1 way that people make deposits, globally. Most people don't bother with bitcoin, and have no idea how to do a bitcoin transaction. Most people don't do p2p transfer to gamble. It's with kredit kards. Offshore will suffer hard.
