    Asianodds88 vs. Olebitcoin

    Has anybody had any experience with either of these two? I live in the US and would love to have a pinnacle account. Can anybody also recommend a VPN that I could use to access it? All feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Both have been around for 4 or 5 years, Asianconnect longer than Olebitcoin I think.

    They have changing policies on what they can do for who and how it is done. Ask them for the best solution for you as they will know what is working and what isnt far better than anyone on the forums.

    With the invention of bitcoin, there is no reason brokers should not take U.S. customers imo.

    I would like to share my experiences with both of them as they were both very responsive with all the questions I had in a timely manner. I decided to go with Asianconnect88 and the process really couldn't have been easier considering I had never done bitcoins either deposit or withdrawal. I went to LibertyX and bought $1000 worth of their QPay cards went online and sent it to my Airbitz wallet (thanks again to sbr for their recommendation). I bought a VPN through privateinternetaccess and paid for the full year in advance which only amounted to $3.33 a month and hot damn now I have a pinnaclesports account. The only other small glitches were I lost $11.84 in the shuffle which was expected and now betting in EURO's (must really pay attention now!!!) but other than that pretty pleased with the bitcoin experience and asianconnect88.

    Ya, Asian Connect is a good broker from the time I have used them. They payout within the hour and transfer funds whenever needed. The Betfair situation is very demoralizing, but overall no problems so far.

    If you are using Matchbook or Pinnacle, you can have the odds set for American. On the contrary, the Asian Odds platform is in decimal format.

    Asian Connect and many other brokers are no longer offering Betfair or BetDaq accounts.

    hello, as I know these brokers bet-ibc and premiumtradings offer Betfair account, however they have different conditions, better to contact their customer service to ask if you can place the bets directly at bookmaker's site or on a similar platform. There is other broker asianconnect that does not offer Bf account from 14 January 2016.

    At Evo34 I use the VPN from Mexico because that seems to be one of the least restrictive countries. Asianconnect will send you a list of restricted countries that you cannot use. I believe the VPN is private but do not quote me on that one. You are able to use HKD, EURO's, or GBP when funding your account. I am not really sure how much they take out on the withdrawal as I have never had one yet but hopefully soon.

    The broker handles all your money. Books will not speak to you about your sub account.

    Pinny settles up with their account holder only. The broker.`

    No. The money comes from the broker to you. The broker is the one and only account holder as far as Pinny are concerned.

    If Pinny pays them but they refuse to pay you, then Pinny won't help.

    In their terms they outline prohibited activities and that they can seize your account balance http://asianconnect88.com/terms-and-conditions/

    In my experience they mean it and if they think you have tried to cheat them in any way they believe it is open slather to punish you back.

    So are these brokers reliable? They don't take your money if you don't cheat them.

    Correct. The main ones that you see posters talking about using in most threads have proven reliable.
