    1) yes
    2) opinions vary, but probably so for US customers
    3) never say never

            As safe as there is. Every complaint that has come up has been kind of shady. Not one complaint about a slow pay from a legit winner.

              Agreed, it's the best of the bunch, which isn't saying a ton these days, but it's still one of your best options.

                three concerns
                1. they can limit you drastically but that's not a strike against safety of funds
                2. Tony .. will do as he pleases ... don't try to get smart at this place
                3. No US serving book can consider itself safe from Uncle Sam .. if their funds are within reach you have significant risk

                      You joined in '09. You already know the answer. Looks like this is a loaded question.

                                      I prefer Bookmaker, 5dimes? I saw tons of complaints about their casino, not sport plays yet.

                                                  5dimes always pays out quickly. In my eyes this makes them a safe book.

                                                        Tony: one moment
                                                        clark: $7231
                                                        clark: oh ok
                                                        Tony: i show $7029.50
                                                        clark: oh
                                                        clark: ok well thats possible
                                                        Tony: now its a matter if you want that amount, or you want to negotiate an amount that we agree upon to keep your account open
                                                        clark: I would like that amount, and you can bar me from ever playing video poker again if thats what you want
                                                        Tony: we will be closing your account
                                                        Tony: completely
                                                        clark: May I ask why?
                                                        clark: Nevermind
                                                        Tony: we honored all the winnings from other players other than the winnings derived from using robot players
                                                        clark: I was prepared to reason but I think id rather just get out of this industry
                                                        clark: You arent seriously suggesting I am being unfair are you
                                                        Tony: for what i deem recreational players, I felt the need to make them not feel "mishandled" in the situation
                                                        clark: You know I give you a lot of action and it fair
                                                        Tony: yes, actually i am
                                                        clark: its
                                                        Tony: but if you feel the need to press the issue, i'd rather handle this in a proper manner and be rid of you
                                                        clark: I understand
                                                        Tony: as if i had not given anyone anything, i would have been far better off
                                                        Tony: and you would be receiving nothing
                                                        Tony: as all other players that won playing this game had their winnings honored
                                                        Tony: and its clear you have no issue playing gave that were at or slightly above the 100% mark
                                                        clark: Not to disrespect, but I had and have no way of knowing that
                                                        Tony: i personally think you should have been happy with "half"
                                                        Tony: and your account open
                                                        Tony: but the choice lies in your hands
                                                        clark: And feel I shouldnt be excluded because I hit four deuces on 25 hands and got a lucky share of royal flushes
                                                        clark: I feel like i'm at a used car lot
                                                        Tony: the world is always up for negotiation
                                                        Tony: you asked what i thought "fair" was
                                                        Tony: and i told you
                                                        clark: Tony just give me the 7029.50
                                                        Tony: not a problem
                                                        Tony: how do you want your account settled?
                                                        clark: After looking at my sportsbook action you seriously dont want me there?
                                                        clark: What are my options?
                                                        Tony: someone who's willing to take $7029.50 in money they lost, when we honored all the "non-robot" winnings is just greedy
                                                        Tony: your options *************** payouts and cashier's checks fed-ex
                                                        Tony: the max on the cashier's checks is $3000 per check
                                                        clark: Cashier's checks will be fine
                                                        clark: Please just credit my account and I will make the withdrawals.
                                                        Tony: ok, one will be processed at least every monday until your balance is settled
                                                        Tony: your account will be blocked
                                                        clark: How about I take $7000 and u still take my sports action
                                                        Tony: so all transactions will be handled by accounting until your balance is zero
                                                        Tony: wow, giving up $29.50
                                                        Tony: how kind of you
                                                        clark: What do you propose
                                                        Tony: and i'm called the greedy one
                                                        Tony: nice one
                                                        Tony: "half"
                                                        clark: I didn't do anything wrong here
                                                        Tony: and neither did i
                                                        Tony: as you and all the others that were credited really have $0 coming to them
                                                        clark: You said you were paying back people, you said you would pay me back, and then said you wouldn't because I was ahead overall and a good player.
                                                        Tony: isn't that my choice of who i want to "take care of"
                                                        Tony: some people get better bonuses than others
                                                        Tony: so people get huge cash back awards
                                                        Tony: *some people
                                                        clark: We have a different definition for bonus then
                                                        Tony: i felt a need to make sure a long list of clients were taken care of
                                                        Tony: you were not on that list
                                                        clark: because I'm a winner
                                                        clark: *winning*
                                                        Tony: but it was mistakenly reported that "all" were going to get this cancellation of lost wagers
                                                        Tony: absolutely correct
                                                        Tony: you're "net ahead"
                                                        clark: what a sin
                                                        Tony: and its not $29.50 you're ahead
                                                        clark: I didn't sign up to be behind
                                                        Tony: and i'm not keeping you around if you want "it all"
                                                        clark: You're an interesting guy Tony
                                                        Tony: in the end, there will be only a few offshore outfits left, and you won't be playing at this one
                                                        clark: If you predict as well as you run a casino I wouldn't bet on it
                                                        clark: Sorry
                                                        clark: I shouldn't make this personal
                                                        Tony: i'm making it personal
                                                        clark: Yes Tony that's fine just pay me in checks
                                                        Tony: i didn't ask for your opinion
                                                        Tony: but if you want to go there, i think i'm slightly more qualified to know who's going to be left and who's not
                                                        Tony: but of course with all your forum knowledge, and incredible mathematical skills, you have to be far more qualified to make such predictions
                                                        Tony: account is closed
                                                        clark: $7029 plus $16,939 balance
                                                        Tony: credit will be done
                                                        Tony: glad to be rid of you
                                                        Tony: correct
                                                        Tony: i'd wish you luck, but since you're so smart, you don't need it
                                                        Tony: so "good day"
                                                        clark: Please don't make me have to pursue this more
                                                        clark: Ok Tony
                                                        clark: Later
                                                        Tony: your next check will be issued on monday, as you already had a check this week sent

                                                            no offshore is VERY safe

                                                            always a slight chance they culd get busted.

                                                                Tony: and its clear you have no issue playing gave that were at or slightly above the 100% mark
                                                                clark: Not to disrespect, but I had and have no way of knowing that
                                                                Tony: i personally think you should have been happy with "half"
                                                                Tony: and your account open

                                                                clark: And feel I shouldnt be excluded because I hit four deuces on 25 hands and got a lucky share of royal flushes
                                                                clark: I feel like i'm at a used car lot
                                                                Tony: the world is always up for negotiation
                                                                Tony: you asked what i thought "fair" was
                                                                Tony: and i told you

                                                                Tony: not a problem
                                                                Tony: how do you want your account settled?

                                                                clark: What are my options?
                                                                Tony: someone who's willing to take $7029.50 in money they lost, when we honored all the "non-robot" winnings is just greedy
                                                                Tony: your options *************** payouts and cashier's checks fed-ex

                                                                clark: Cashier's checks will be fine
                                                                clark: Please just credit my account and I will make the withdrawals.
                                                                Tony: ok, one will be processed at least every monday until your balance is settled
                                                                Tony: your account will be blocked
                                                                clark: How about I take $7000 and u still take my sports action
                                                                Tony: so all transactions will be handled by accounting until your balance is zero
                                                                Tony: wow, giving up $29.50
                                                                Tony: how kind of you
                                                                clark: What do you propose
                                                                Tony: and i'm called the greedy one
                                                                Tony: nice one
                                                                Tony: "half"

                                                                Tony: and neither did i

                                                                clark: You said you were paying back people, you said you would pay me back, and then said you wouldn't because I was ahead overall and a good player.
                                                                Tony: isn't that my choice of who i want to "take care of"
                                                                Tony: some people get better bonuses than others
                                                                Tony: so people get huge cash back awards
                                                                Tony: *some people
                                                                clark: We have a different definition for bonus then
                                                                Tony: i felt a need to make sure a long list of clients were taken care of
                                                                Tony: you were not on that list
                                                                clark: because I'm a winner
                                                                clark: *winning*
                                                                Tony: but it was mistakenly reported that "all" were going to get this cancellation of lost wagers
                                                                Tony: absolutely correct
                                                                Tony: you're "net ahead"
                                                                clark: what a sin
                                                                Tony: and its not $29.50 you're ahead
                                                                clark: I didn't sign up to be behind
                                                                Tony: and i'm not keeping you around if you want "it all"
                                                                clark: You're an interesting guy Tony
                                                                Tony: in the end, there will be only a few offshore outfits left, and you won't be playing at this one
                                                                clark: If you predict as well as you run a casino I wouldn't bet on it
                                                                clark: Sorry
                                                                clark: I shouldn't make this personal
                                                                Tony: i'm making it personal
                                                                clark: Yes Tony that's fine just pay me in checks
                                                                Tony: i didn't ask for your opinion
                                                                Tony: but if you want to go there, i think i'm slightly more qualified to know who's going to be left and who's not
