    In the grand scheme of things I’d say I make 3 deposits a week to 1 withdrawal a week. Give or take. That’s a grand guess

      I also agree with this.

      Sadly I have little new to add, I think these are some valid posts and the others before.

        Holy smoke. Yeah, you need to use a middle wallet.

          Yes KVB sadly is right. Ugh.

                If you are a person that makes a few deposits a year, no big deal going straight through. If you are depositing weekly, monthly or on a regular basis, a wallet should definitely be used because you will get busted most likely.

                  Does your book only take bitcoin ?

                  Should deposit with litecoin or bitcoin cash (BCH) if possible

                    The fees kick in after blockchain wallet on deposits or withdrawals. I think most understand this but wanted to clarify I’m used to this process but these days the fees are enough to take a nun’s virginity during confession
                    I don't know about using cashapp. Someone said they got banned from cashapp even though they were using an intermediary wallet.

                      I'd focus more on changing my approach. You want to make fewer deposits. You don't want to ever really withdraw unless you need the money or have met a rollover or something and are done with the book. If you are just going to be gambling, just stick with the book. I can see why a person would be depositing a lot because they are losing. I can't see why they would be withdrawing unless they are a professional.

                          I don't know. Three times a week, I think you might need it. Find another hobby. A whore might be less expensive.

                            Roger, if you’re gonna critique my gambling habits, you should get fukked way more than that.

                                      ... And I used to think Credit card fees were a rip off. They look good now compared to bitcoin.

                                          Guys, do the extra work to get a foreign based exchange like Kraken. Use whatever crypto currency does not charge such high fees (they have a lot of them) .

                                          Coin Base sucks and is dangerous because it is USA based (San Francisco). IRS is all over this / right on form 1040 (do you own any Bitcoin)

                                          Coin base probably sends data to IRS on US citizens. Get away from those guys - they suck!

Cash is and will always be the king for sportsbetting. No one charges you fees for cash. You show up at the book, you bet with cash, you leave with more cash or you go home broke.

                                                      From what I know... Gemini.com still covers the fees 100% in regards to Gemini to anywhere... Free first 10 transactions each month. I never got a warning letter from them... I don't use them frequently... but if you're looking to avoid networking fees... it's FREE.

                                                        I spend about $8.00 equivalent 36 hours ago.

                                                        What's 'very high'? Did you set it manually to get it through ASAP?

                                                          I had my BTC wallet set on average fee, was $30 on a $500 transaction. This took about 7 hours. You can set for a lower fee, I've done that once and took close to 24 hours. As far as I know it is a set fee rather than a percentage of transaction, although I could be wrong. It used to be that fees were under $1, and transactions 30 minutes or less. Of course it seems like everyone is into crypto now, seems like the miners must be making a killing.

                                                              Should deposit with litecoin or bitcoin cash (BCH) if possible
                                                              This X 1000.
                                                              Litecoin not bad either but personally speaking BCH is easier to get converted and there seems to be more support for it than LTC. I use the blockchain wallet and it can send/recieve Bitcoin Cash (BCH) no problem, it cant receive or send Litecoin.
                                                              Bitcoin Cash fees are pennies per transaction and confirmations are fast.

                                                              I know that Bookmaker and Betonline both take BCH and can payout the same way.

                                                              Also, you can deposit in BCH and withdraw in BTC.

                                                              Kraken is most definitely a US company, with offices in San Fran.
