    Why not pay out with gift cards like SBR does?
    I like how SBR gives the option of receiving your payout as a gift card. No paper trail or banks to deal with. If SBR could give us good limits it would be perfect. Why don't other books try this, as a way to accomodate US players? They could at least do it for smaller payouts. I sent the idea to a few online books, but got no response.

        Do these options keep the IRS out of the way? If so, i would think this would be the way to go.

            Betus has player points, but it doesnt say how you can use them. Bookmaker has a store where you can use your points, but it seems like the only withdrawl option is paper trail check or bank account payout.

                i actually did this for $1800 once. You just go to any ATM and withdraw. Once you mind is open to the idea, it is actually a great option. BETUS was the book that did this for me. They paid me, although i do see others have had issues

                limited to $500 per withdrawal though. per day

                  great idea for smaller payouts from books. mail it snail mail for free - sick of all the fees for payouts

                          Can't pay the mortgage with gift cards and you are limited to whatever the books provide. Can't use a Boston pizza gift card to get new Jordan's unless you put some work in first and sell the gift card for cash at a reduced price. This seems like a Lot of work and this is obviously assuming that the book doesn't offer DC as an option.

                          DC's are definitely the way to go.

                            well of course a dc is different than a gift card

                            is that what the op was talking about?

                                  You are wrong, i love my book (betus) you can with draw $1,000 a day, put the gift card in the atm machine hit withdraw $500.00 , then put the gift card back in the atm machine, with draw another $500.00. If you try to withdarw $1,000 in one shot it will get declined, 24 hours has to elapse , to withdraw another 1,000, So if u withdraw a dime at 9 at night, go to the atm 9:10 the next night to with draw more money, really confused why people are saying gift cards suck, it is so easy, what suck's is that there is fee's.

                                  Ive racked up $1,500 in fees over the past year withdrawing money, but there have been alot of withdrawls, i mean i went on a crazy winning spree lol
