    Let me educate you there’s extreme little profit in the USA because of all the advertising, taxes and licensing costs and of course staff, rents , ect


    On the other hand offshore is mainly pure profit they couldn’t care less if there was no sports for six months because virtually zero cost to run a book Compared to the United States

      I just put in a wd for half my offshore balance, Im willing to leave half in place, if I end up losing it its not the end of the world, I hope your right about offshore riding it out, but I have my doubts if this lasts more than a month or two, jmo

        offshore need good bonuses to entice people to load up now for when sports return

        as HMAN said too, maybe give a bonus for leaving balances in the book too

                  You’re going to see more bonuses pop-up offshore even though they have good ones already


                  USA was on an epic roll this could hurt

                    Sites with big casinos are good too. BetOnline has a great casino, Bovada is decent as well and they both have large poker rooms. People will still be looking for action. Bookmaker and Heritage are top books but their casinos suck and neither have poker.

                    At least JJ is right, they don't have a lot of overhead so most should be okay. But we also don't know what we are facing. Will sports be done for 30 days? 60 days? Longer? Nobody can be sure.

                      I have a rollover at bovada that I threw a bunch of small bets on crap sports to get finished but I think I will leave it for poker. However, I don’t want any place where I can’t take it out right away

                          Don’t send bottom feeders a penny. Even if they offer a huge bonus with small rollover. They will be first to be no pay upon sports returing.

                          This Virus will make many books sick that are already shady.

                            This will undoubtedly weed out the shittier books offshore.

                              I just got my FanDuel withdrawl via PayPal.
                              Took 36 hours, all things considered that's about as good as I expected.

                              I told the CSR there I'll reup when when normalcy returns.

                              Makes zero sense for them to sit on my cash if I can't put it to use.

                                  thanks for the update

                                  and i agree 100% with withdrawing any money, why keep your money stagnant there?

                                  which makes me think there is a huge withdrawal run so ill see when mine gets credited

                                  i waited til after golf was postponed

                                          Rudy did a withdraw from PointsBetNJ about an hour ago. Was approved 15 mins later. Will do the same for BetAmerica.

                                          Good luck with your payout

                                                  They will not try to sucker people for deposits though.

                                                            Took a couple of hours to withdrawal from Betcris/Bookmaker. But currently dealing with Pinnacle and their stupid 3 time rollover. Where do.they expect me to bet it on...Indian Dadminton? I've even accepted to paid their stupid 3% fee and still going back and forth. Pinnacle is not what they used to be.

                                                              Everyone is suffering. Livelihoods shook up for most all. Time to use logic and ration, do things smartly and stay on top of things. Stock prices down across the board for casinos. Offshore operations will be hurt badly if this continues longterm. American regulated businesses in a much better position by far. Don't be snookered into thinking there is any good in this for ilegal operators.

                                                                    If state governments were smart they would look into legalizing online poker if they don't have it.
                                                                    Gamblers (not me) will be scrambling for some action you would think there'd be a big spike in online poker interest.
                                                                    Legalize it, regulate it, tax it.

                                                                    Sounds like a win-win to me.
