    Ive been looking to choose an online bookie but ever review says thumbs down

    Ive been looking to choose an online bookie but ever review says that they usually have hidden fees , also i cant find any good reviews without them seeming fake, i dont want to sign up with bookmaker.eu becasue they were siezed in the US just recently and i dont want to have to deal with a company thats going to have my funds get taken away. 5 dimes has terrible reviews and just about every online bookie, is there a bookie i can call that just does it over the phone?

    suggest a good online bookie please

    5dimes is fine, the bad reviews you read were because its owner doesnt waste his time being buddy buddy with his customers but they pay and have good options.

    5dimes, betislands, and bookmaker are top three outs for American players imo.

    so their domain name was seized

    the fact that their operation still did not skip a beat tells you all that you need to know

    Bookmaker survives after the seizure which tells you how safe they are. 99% of books will flip over by such event.

    Bookmaker is hands down the safest. If you're going to sweat the domain seizure than 5Dimes is next best and has more to offer. If giving Bookmaker a 9.9 for safety 5dimes is like 9.6. (99% and 96% no worries). I wouldn't venture anywhere else from the US in this market if risk was the primary concern.

    If you live outside the US than Pinnacle is better than both of those two.
