    Been gone for 6 years. Back now. Need advice.

    What's up boys, it's surreal being here again. Good to see some familiar faces still around.

    So I'm a US citizen living in Mexico now. I have residence in a few foreign countries. I signed up for BetOnline (very happy with it), and BetUS (terrible). I'm looking for a couple more outs.

    I'm not interested in US books because I can always use a VPN from here sure, but there have been certain US things I used to be able to use with the VPN for, but then they figure it out over time and I'm shut out. I know the chances are probably low for sportsbooks, but I'd rather just avoid all that.

    I thought there would be offshore ratings here, but I'm guessing SBR doesn't mess with offshore books anymore?

    So I'll assume you guys on the forum still know this landscape pretty well. I no longer do so...


    Which books are good for safety, ease of withdrawals, and odds? Crypto deposits and odds without decimal points preferred but not necessary.

    And I don't give a shit about bonuses. I just want to bet NCAAF, NHL, and MMA without hassle.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you truly don't care about bonuses, why are you playing at BOL instead of sister book Low Vig? Same lines with significantly less juice. It's my favorite Book now.

    Good to see you Ralphie.

    SBR has changed. Only rate US/CA licensed books now. But of course still plenty here that have no US state option so posters still share about offshores.

    You wont be able to get around the us state geo targeting very easily. I have not heard about a known way to do it anyway.

    I'll leave it to offshore users to give you tips on them.

    If you need higher limits, you can’t beat Bookmaker. They have the highest limits of all the offshore books especially for live betting. They also have high daily withdrawal limits if that’s a must. Odds are good but there’s no offshore book out there I know that takes higher action for live betting than Bookmaker especially if you’re into non-major sports like tennis etc

    Bookmaker, Lowvig/Betonline, and Pinnacle. Based on what you're looking for, these would be perfect

    My businesses actually started to gain momentum and make money, so I had to tend to those and that's where all my time and money went. I was also setting up this offshore life too, and that ish takes awhile. Now we're finally where we need to be, and I can start betting like a non-piker for once!

    I'll check out Bookmaker and JustBet, maybe YouWager and Low Vig too. Thanks everyone. Hope you guys are well.

    14 years at Bookmaker and still haven't had a single complaint or issue. Other than the site being down at 11 A.M. on a college football Saturday that is.

    Would appreciate a little elaboration. So the legal states are cracking down on offshore or VPN's???

    Unfortunately it is slim pickings if you want high limit, decent offerings, money easy in and out, no bullshit.

    Heritage I guess but they cut limits, offerings last few years and live platform worthless. But, I feel money is safe there.

    I don't know about cracking down on anyone. But with sports betting legislation there comes state laws to enforce compliance which can be used to target any bookie not licensed in the state. With no laws before there was no way to do that outside the federal UIGEA laws.

    And to hold a state license, books need to ensure they don't allow bets from anyone outside their borders. So they use advanced technology to handle that. A VPN is not a way around it. I don't know of any way around it.

    Thanx for explanation. I've always contended that once those state Dept of Revenues (especially where I am in Massachusetts) got a taste of the nectar they would drop the hammer on any illicit competition a la Youwager and Bovada dropping (I forget which one) the Jersey or New York guys. I do appreciate your replying

    Everyone will be happy to take your money. Just prove you didn't get it from Al Kaida (or Putin).
