Guys, even for us non US gamblers the tight is tightening.
Example, cashed out 100euro in points here couple weeks back (about $128US then) and by the time it had hit my account the original 100euro was 89 euro. Fukkin S K R I L. L.
All this does is make offline booking more appealing than what it already is.

Presumably another US-only rule in response to the RIAA?

I remember way back in 2001, I had a futures bet with WSEX for the Nets to win the Eastern Conference at 40-1. After they beat Boston to win the East, I had $1,000 of my winnings immediately sent to my PayPal account (which took 2 minutes), and then I used my PayPal MasterCrd to buy a set of golf clubs online, which was delivered to me within a few days.
My how things have changed.
Just mind boggling how great innovation and competition can be (and all of its consumer benefits) before the scourge of government begins to invade with its destructive tentacles.

you don't want paypal working or ease of deposits. That just means the government gets involved with regulations and we know how good they are at that...

Apparently it affected everyone in the world who wants to pay via paypal. Paypal also said they are doing it on their own. No idea if that's true. Paypal also froze all the assets in their accounts. Pretty fukked up. How can you freeze the assets of a legal company?
Just weeks after they began banning file-sharing hosts, Paypal has extended the bans to major Usenet services, citing piracy concerns.
Outside of banning the providers, ...
I thought Sammy was sharp? Why u no mix in small non-gift transactions like everyone else on earth?

Paypal and neteller were 10 times better. Bitcoin definitely helped though.

Not me.
As a Canadian resident I can deposit directly from my bank account and receive a payout to the same account in 30 minutes. The method is Interac E-Transfer.
For US residents bitcoin has helped but it isn't necessary for those that do not live there.

You guys who use off shore sites deserve to lose every penny you give to them. You have ZERO control as to what they can or cannot do. Do not listen to JJ and the other broke blowhards in here. Wager off shore and bend over, spread your legs, and kiss your arse (and money) good bye. What a bunch of losers.

And yet, many of us have have been betting offshore for years with no problems. One of the reasons I read this and other forums religiously is so that I can assign my own risk factor to these places and plan accordingly.

Bitcoin saves me about 4% compared to the traditional banking system converting US$ to AU$
Surely you must be eating that spot rate premium to convert US$ to CA$ then?

Bitcoin is a nice invention, still not without risks cos of its volatility. Bookmakers should consider using open source stable coins like Dai from Makerdao until BTC price becomes more stable. But the opportunity to cut off parasites like banks and payment processors are, is great. Hope one day I can spend my crypto, without turning it to inflationary fiat.
