It was simple to get bitcoin account

[jjgold]

so AsianOdds (not Asianconnect) says "you don't need a vpn as there are no geographic restrictions" under their FAQs. I accidently went to the wrong one first. no charge for the service is curious to me. still.....can't.....get myself to put USA in the country dropdown.. I feel like an alarm will go off.. well here we go

To use asian odds no vpn

To get single books through asianconnect meaning logging on at Pinnacle or Matchbook need VPN..Canada works fine

[HeeeHAWWWW]

I'd still use a vpn with asianodds. If the policy is "don't ask, don't tell", logging on with a US IP is a bit too much like telling. Not worth risking your account.

If it's a direct sub account they offer then you will Littlekona. But I am not 100% sure the method they use right now.

As Heehaaawww said above, best to just respect the dont tell thing and use one for all interactions with them really. Then you'll never forget and go the wrong site without it by mistake and lose your account.

[littlekona]

Im not very well informed on vpn...is opera browser vpn a good option

[turbobets]

I signed up for vpn $33 a year not bad if I need tech support. I have not used Opera but from what I read it should be fine you just need to choose a country/ip address not on ac88 restricted list.

[littlekona]

Ok so Im registered but not deposited yet and have had a few emails from their support to confirm terms...the CS seems A+++...So I can log into asianconnect88 but when I try the wagering sites the password is wrong...Do you use the same password for all?

[stefan084]

[littlekona]

[Alfa1234]

Does anyone know of Any similar platforms where USA players can access betfair?

https://asianconnect88.com/register/ <-- signup form

If you want to use their Pinbet88 platform you do need a VPN. Not for AsianOdds platform.

Or you can use their Skype betting service and let them place bets for you and avoid the tech issue. If you are betting enough

Went to register at this site and a couple things concern me:

• The drop-down for currency at the top over to the right didn't include a bitcoin option. The bitcoin option is down below where you put in your email address, etc. Once you choose bitcoin there then the drop-down at the top to the right that didn't originally include bitcoin as an option now shows bitcoin and is grayed out.
• There was only 1 entry for email address. So I double-checked and triple-checked to make sure I got mine correct. I registered and got the screen saying "registration complete" and didn't get an email. Went to chat and chat said sign up again and this time it worked.
• Clicked on link in email which brought me to registration page. Put in all the username and password info and clicked the Register button and the button now says "Try again".
• I received an email to activate my account. I put in the username and password that I put in the screen before and was able to get into my account.

At least I'm registered now. I have rarely seen a web site that only shows one entry for email address.

premiumtradings.com offer their own tool to bet on betfair. Not sure how (or if) they deal with USA players right now.

[QuantumLeap]

The GM just said to tell people to apply for a bitcoin only account and they would not ask location if you did not tell. Maybe they have changed the form since then if that option does not seem to be available. Have you tried submitting with just your name info and leaving address empty... or maybe just putting 'bitcoin only account' if it needs the field filled in.

Would appreciate you (or anyone else that tries) letting me know if you do/don't get hooked up for future reference.

Logged into my account. Went to the Profile section. Country showing is "Albania".

They don't. Not sure why everyone has not pulled out their funds until they pay out the 100k plus they owe the guy from Turkey.

OK, so I log in to asianconnect and ask for the deposit address through their chat. It takes a few minutes just to get a reply back from the person.

The deposit goes through and I'm talking with someone else. This new person is also taking a couple minutes between chat replies. The chat person gives me a quote for Euros/BTC and I say OK. They then say "Please give me a minute or two while I figure this out for you". Another couple minutes come back and they say "the new rate is now XXXX" which is 3 Euros/BTC lower than what they originally quoted me. One minute later they say "deposit rate now XXXX" which is 9 Euros/BTC lower than the previous one. I tell them to deposit my BTC in my account.

I go to verify what they are saying is true. I look to see that they originally used Kraken for a price quote. The price at Kraken hadn't changed during the whole conversation. The change only amounted to about 3 Euros less which isn't much but I wanted everyone to be aware that they may wait to deposit your money to their advantage.

Also, when I logged in to the Pinnacle affiliate, the agreement said that in order to use their system you cannot be a citizen of the following countries...". I'm wondering if that will enter in any disputes.

[jjgold]

They like to make up bitcoin prices to screw you so be aggressive with them and get your rate

Other than that service works fine

Do you really think they try to "screw" you for a 0.32% change in the bitcoin price? Bitcoin prices at Kraken change literally every few seconds (24 hour volume is 12500 right now at Kraken...with about 10 transactions a minute at this time), I do not believe the price didn't change in all that time.

[72nova]

For those that use the Pinbet88 broker account through Pinnacle, on soccer can you bet HT/FT wagers and correct score wagers?

There withdrawal prices are always a bit lower than all the major exchanges, which I guess is their way of charging a fee without be explicit. However, the deposit prices are generally good.

I'm not sure about the correct score wagers, but the others are a definite yes.

Pinnacle doesn't have HT/FT so no. Correct score yes, they have exactly the same markets as the Pinnacle.com site.

[72nova]

Thanks Alfa. Can a person get 1000 down on correct score? Also, is it possible to parlay 2 matches on Pinbett88?

[lonnie55]

Why don't you just ask the broker for a demo account? It's the easiest way to check out the limits, usability of the site etc.

I'm well aware of how to look at a chart. This was at a very early time in the morning and it was flat the entire discussion with them.

But that's not the only point. The point is that they quoted me a number and should stick to it regard less if it changes by 2 Euros. In my case it was 1%. It's the principle of the thing. If they do this with 1000 customers it adds up.

[Alfa1234]

Thanks Alfa. Can a person get 1000 down on correct score? Also, is it possible to parlay 2 matches on Pinbett88?

Demo account would be easier for you as Lonnie mentioned...but yes you can get 1k on on correct score. Limits may be lower but you can rebet the line as much as you want, although it may drop a bit after each max bet. Keep in mind Pinbet88 limits are 30-35% of those of a "normal" pinnacle.com account.

Parlays is not a problem, although they don't allow "outright" markets like correct score to be parlayed.

[72nova]

Thanks Alfa, I appreciate the info. I'll have to get a VPN for PinnacleSports and didn't want to unless those wagers were available.

Tremendous thread

[Craig22]

I'm not seeing a way to bet 3rd tier Spanish soocer/football through Asian Connect. Pinnacle and some of the Asian books have 3rd-4th tier English soccer/football, but no 3rd tier in the Spanish League. Is it just not offered?

I just checked Pinbet88. They have Spain Segunda B matches available.
