    1) yes
    2) opinions vary, but probably so for US customers
    3) never say never

    As safe as there is. Every complaint that has come up has been kind of shady. Not one complaint about a slow pay from a legit winner.

    Agreed, it's the best of the bunch, which isn't saying a ton these days, but it's still one of your best options.

    three concerns
    1. they can limit you drastically but that's not a strike against safety of funds
    2. Tony .. will do as he pleases ... don't try to get smart at this place
    3. No US serving book can consider itself safe from Uncle Sam .. if their funds are within reach you have significant risk

    I prefer Bookmaker, 5dimes? I saw tons of complaints about their casino, not sport plays yet.

    5dimes always pays out quickly. In my eyes this makes them a safe book.

    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Andy'
    Andy: Hello. How may I assist you today?
    clark: Hi may I speak with Tony please?
    Andy: Just a moment please
    clark: ok
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Tony'.
    You are now chatting with 'Tony'
    Tony: greetings
    clark: hi
    Tony: allow me a moment to pull up your account
    clark: ok
    Tony: ok, i need to confirm the amount you lost on the game in question
    Tony: one moment
    clark: $7231
    clark: oh ok
    Tony: i show $7029.50
    clark: oh
    clark: ok well thats possible
    Tony: now its a matter if you want that amount, or you want to negotiate an amount that we agree upon to keep your account open
    clark: I would like that amount, and you can bar me from ever playing video poker again if thats what you want
    Tony: we will be closing your account
    Tony: completely
    clark: May I ask why?
    clark: Nevermind
    Tony: we honored all the winnings from other players other than the winnings derived from using robot players
    clark: I was prepared to reason but I think id rather just get out of this industry
    clark: You arent seriously suggesting I am being unfair are you
    Tony: for what i deem recreational players, I felt the need to make them not feel "mishandled" in the situation
    clark: You know I give you a lot of action and it fair
    Tony: yes, actually i am
    clark: its
    Tony: but if you feel the need to press the issue, i'd rather handle this in a proper manner and be rid of you
    clark: I understand
    Tony: as if i had not given anyone anything, i would have been far better off
    Tony: and you would be receiving nothing
    Tony: as all other players that won playing this game had their winnings honored
    Tony: and its clear you have no issue playing gave that were at or slightly above the 100% mark
    clark: Not to disrespect, but I had and have no way of knowing that
    Tony: i personally think you should have been happy with "half"
    Tony: and your account open
    Tony: but the choice lies in your hands
    clark: And feel I shouldnt be excluded because I hit four deuces on 25 hands and got a lucky share of royal flushes
    clark: I feel like i'm at a used car lot
    Tony: the world is always up for negotiation
    Tony: you asked what i thought "fair" was
    Tony: and i told you
    clark: Tony just give me the 7029.50
    Tony: not a problem
    Tony: how do you want your account settled?
    clark: After looking at my sportsbook action you seriously dont want me there?
    clark: What are my options?
    Tony: someone who's willing to take $7029.50 in money they lost, when we honored all the "non-robot" winnings is just greedy
    Tony: your options *************** payouts and cashier's checks fed-ex
    Tony: the max on the cashier's checks is $3000 per check
    clark: Cashier's checks will be fine
    clark: Please just credit my account and I will make the withdrawals.
    Tony: ok, one will be processed at least every monday until your balance is settled
    Tony: your account will be blocked
    clark: How about I take $7000 and u still take my sports action
    Tony: so all transactions will be handled by accounting until your balance is zero
    Tony: wow, giving up $29.50
    Tony: how kind of you
    clark: What do you propose
    Tony: and i'm called the greedy one
    Tony: nice one
    Tony: "half"
    clark: I didn't do anything wrong here
    Tony: and neither did i
    Tony: as you and all the others that were credited really have $0 coming to them
    clark: You said you were paying back people, you said you would pay me back, and then said you wouldn't because I was ahead overall and a good player.
    Tony: isn't that my choice of who i want to "take care of"
    Tony: some people get better bonuses than others
    Tony: so people get huge cash back awards
    Tony: *some people
    clark: We have a different definition for bonus then
    Tony: i felt a need to make sure a long list of clients were taken care of
    Tony: you were not on that list
    clark: because I'm a winner
    clark: *winning*
    Tony: but it was mistakenly reported that "all" were going to get this cancellation of lost wagers
    Tony: absolutely correct
    Tony: you're "net ahead"
    clark: what a sin
    Tony: and its not $29.50 you're ahead
    clark: I didn't sign up to be behind
    Tony: and i'm not keeping you around if you want "it all"
    clark: You're an interesting guy Tony
    Tony: in the end, there will be only a few offshore outfits left, and you won't be playing at this one
    clark: If you predict as well as you run a casino I wouldn't bet on it
    clark: Sorry
    clark: I shouldn't make this personal
    Tony: i'm making it personal
    clark: Yes Tony that's fine just pay me in checks
    Tony: i didn't ask for your opinion
    Tony: but if you want to go there, i think i'm slightly more qualified to know who's going to be left and who's not
    Tony: but of course with all your forum knowledge, and incredible mathematical skills, you have to be far more qualified to make such predictions
    Tony: account is closed
    clark: $7029 plus $16,939 balance
    Tony: credit will be done
    Tony: glad to be rid of you
    Tony: correct
    Tony: i'd wish you luck, but since you're so smart, you don't need it
    Tony: so "good day"
    clark: Please don't make me have to pursue this more
    clark: Ok Tony
    clark: Later
    Tony: your next check will be issued on monday, as you already had a check this week sent
