    This thread about cris is fake news. Subject should be something like...deposit options limited for NJ players.

    If you live in NJ, you cannot use GTbets, Bovada, and Intertops. Been several years for bovada. GTbets is in the past two or so.

    Yeah I forgot how the degenerates on SBR know what’s going on. Most don’t have jobs yet they think they know everything.

    I can't see it right now, but maybe some smart SBR member can help me remove my blinder's?
    Thanks, for any eyeopening help.

    And drinks being free? Are we not all expected to tip these free-drink server's? If 95% of patron's tip for free drinks, nope, they are not free.



    Because you will get paid if you win. You won't have the hassle of a withdrawal fee. The check won't get lost in the mail. You won't have to deal with Bitcoin, or Walmart, or bonus rollovers. You won't be breaking the law placing a wager, and you won't be sending money to Maria Conchita Alonzo in Peru or Honduras, or wherever. The Feds are coming when the states get this in place..... and offshore will fade into the sunset, because the square players will be betting at the legal sportsbook. The only ones offshore will be the credit players and the sharps.

    By this line of reasoning, if they're going after offshore cuz they're not getting their cut then wouldn't they have to go after the gazillion locals using web sites and phone apps with the same vigor? By order of magnitude aren't they the worse criminals? Jus sayin.....It seems like a slippery slope

    Absolutely makes zero sense to me.

    If you could go after them now....

    You could of went after them 10 years ago.
    Because 10 years ago the off shore books weren't costing them any money. Now, they view any non regulated book taking action from someone in NJ as their direct competition.

    Pretty sure the placing of a wager isn't the illegal part.

    Bookmaker always pays out.

    Sending money P2P to a random name in Nicaragua or w/e is like 8 years past expiration.

    Offshore might die off as stateside books spread but this is a weird list of grievances.

    It's silly that NJ would go after offshore, or any state for that matter. If they aren't meeting their numbers or expectations it's because they don't have mobile options yet or they overestimated their numbers. They need to leave offshore alone.

    They could be after them or BM could be takng a proactive approach with certain states. I wouldn't care if it was a lower rated book but if BM makes a move like this it would get my attention. I am in NYS and Bovada would not allow NY residents to play there for a number of years and now we are able to use them.

    It's frustrating because regulated/legal books are so crappy. It took WSOP.com 15 days to pay me out early on this summer. Offshores pay me within minutes, or same day with bitcoin. Most of them at least.

    If they go after offshores and don't have regulated poker sites people in those states have no options (besides NV/DE/NJ) to play poker online either.

    It seems, for the most part, if you ask about NJ they shut you off. If you don't, you can continue as you were, with crypto at least.
