    5dimes 10k
    Heritage 20k
    Bookmaker 30k
    Betislands 5k

    They're all pretty safe but anyone playing from the States should be very cautious.

    Agreed. Without, at the very least, knowing the size of each individual's roll the number is are completely meaningless.

    I've had mid-5 figure balances at both 5dimes and Heritage in the last 6 months, and never once doubted it was. Bookmaker is the same..... Bet Islands? I sort of have my doubts, as I'm not sure they can handle a 40-50K cashout.

    @ 5dimes, how do withdraw so much money out at once? i just asked if i could withdraw my funds and i was told i could a check and a p2p both for max.

    but when some people win 6 figures? thats a lot of checks or p2p . how is this done? i mean im bothered that i have to do 2 p2p a week apart.

    5dimes
    Heritage
    Bookmaker
    Betislands
    had over 15k in 5dimes at one point-never worried
    had over 6k in heritage at one point-never worried. if i still played at heritage i would probably feel safer to leave even more in heritage then 5dimes
    can't speak on the other 2

    5dimes = lunch money
    Bookmaker takes real bets

    Other two sites are not needed.

    Gotta love when one poster tries to speak for everyone as if just b/c you personally have no use for those other books no one does.

    Top 3 as much as you want, even 100% of your BR. Not that I would recommend that because you should have as many outs as possible, but your money is safe at all three. I have never used BetIslands so no opinion.
