    Bitcoin wallet question?

    I'm wondering do you really need a bitcoin wallet like blockchain to fund books like Bovada or 5dimes? Once you make a deposit into Coinbase you essentially can send the money transfer anywhere you want from what I can tell..

    So why is a Blockchain wallet even needed? You pay fees twice when you transfer from coinbase to blockchain wallet then to sportsbook..

    My question is can you just transfer from Coinbase to sportsbook directly and avoid the wallet and those second fees?

    Coinbase doesn't promote gambling ( it's an exchange, a very easy/good one ) You will have to put your btc in a wallet and go from there, if that's what your objective is. If you don't, they could probably freeze your account.

    doubt they would do it for a $20 player but if you are putting a grand on a game, that's probably a secure way to do it.. just have to deal with fees

    use a buffer wallet even two if you do a lot of transactions

    CB will lock your acct for gambling

    I know for a fact that coinbase has a risk management team and tracks transactions/patterns and is able to identify certain gambling sites by their wallet addresses

    It is not enough to send it to just one "middle" wallet if you truly want to be undetected.

    Many people have lost their coinbase account for sending directly to sites like nitrogen. I am one of those people.

    I will continue to use a wallet then.. Those double fees suck though.. You get hit on the double transfer fees from coinbase to wallet then wallet to sportsbook... Is what it is I guess... Was just looking to see if I could save a few bucks in the future..

    Thanks fellas....

    hope I don't get in trouble by the forum for this... but to confirm how I can do a btc withdrawal... book to blockchain. block chain to coinbase or other exchange wallet ( I don't know any others) and then coinbase to bank acct?

    book --> buffer wallet --> CB --> bank

    can be a way but maybe not the safest

    I'm not happy with Blockchain.. Can anyone recommend a different Wallet that operates smoothly?

    It's always a pain in the asss to get logged into Blockchain for me.. They don't send out emails either alot of the times to confirm the log in so I get locked out and then I try again later. ..

    Yep, Blockchain is giving me big problems with email verifications.. I even have a balance there and just can't get into my account today.. Keeps saying verify and check your email, I check and no email.. Very frustrating..

    I'll try the phone app and see how that works out.. Thanks..

    do not use blockchain. if you absolutely must use a web wallet, there are several other better options out there.

    Use mycellium. From my experience it's the easiest and most secure
