For those who likes to use SBObet, the deposit/withdrawal options are much more limited. ****/** for CAD based account. Only Euro and GBP based account have more funding options. In the end, any transaction will incur significant currency exchange fees.

In August this year, CVC Capital Partners bought a 75% stake in Skrill (formerly Moneybookers). Since then, the company has been approved by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement for online gambling transactions within the state.


There is no Canadian law which bans online gambling transactions, although as NAFTA members, Canadian banks generally include no-gambling clauses in their terms and conditions, in order to avoid potential legal problems with their US subsidiaries which are subject to the UIGEA.

Has anyone in Canada used iDEBIT? Both pinny and bet365 have this as an option. Seems legit but would like to hear other people's experience.

Just call iDEBIT regarding us fund account for Canadian, the answer is 'no'! Don't see a point opening an iDEBIT account if they charge vig 3.5pt each conversion for deposit and withdrawal. Let say XE.com exchange rate is 1.06 for us. You deposit $3000 cdn to sportbooks, you get $2739.72 us fund. Than you decided not to gamble/bet & withdraw $2739.72 us back to iDEBIT, you receive $2808.22. Almost $200 fee + any other hidden fee. total bs!!!

Use books with CAD option son...MB, Pinny, Euro Books, etc. Also you can carry US and CAD accounts I recall, you only suffer currency conversion when you withdrawl to you bank account. Idebit is good and the best low-limit option left.

Legit suggestion. I think I have all the popular books but all in us fund, I have to check with each book to see if they let me have 2 different fund or change it. ty
