    coinbase

    i have tried to turn points into bitcoin twice. Both times it was turned down. I have always done it this way. The only thing i could think of is that coin base has figured out that it is from gambling forum or that the thread that coin base uses to transfer the buy was invalid from length of time. Can someone tell me how i should try to rectify this. In no way I'm complaining just looking for solutions.
    thank you

    send to third party wallet before ever trying to go to coinbase. they arent down with anything gambling related. once youre in an unrelated wallet youll be able to go to coinbase without issue.

    use the Blockchain wallet on your phone. why send to Coinbase when they report everything to their master?

    I used some points to buy $100 of btc from store and sent it to electrum then cb with no issues.

    CB is ridiculous now you can buy and sell but when you go to send btc now you have to send pic of ID every time now if you want it to go through without the 72 hour hold

    later

    Yeah, almost every other time CB requires this. I have a photo of my CDL so I just upload and then take a selfie. It's annoying as hell though.

    IRS must be racist. Let’s cancel them.

    No, Coinbase is hard as hell to use. The solution is definitely get a wallet from somebody else to use as a buffer. But, Coinbase wants to make some money. So, if we deposit with them/transfer to a wallet and we are done with them/they are not making much. The beauty of Coinbase is you can deposit with an eft with little cost. In theory, you can even get it back some day but they do not want you to ever get anything back as they want you to use them spend every penny.

    I use Kraken which is an exchange. Terrific to store in USD - terrific to deposit and withdraw via bitcoin / nightmare to deposit USD via wire/bigger nightmare to withdraw via wire to your bank account.
