I apologize for not posting in the newbie section since I am one, but this question isn't regarding how to use this site or anything, and I'm hoping the more experienced users will reply
I switched to sportsbook.ag years ago after having a difficult time receiving payout from betus.pa I was happy that sportsbook.ag offered check payouts for free once a month. At some point it changed to once a year but that was fine for me.
However, I just went to request my first payout in quite a while and discovered that it will only allow me payout by Bitcoin. And what's even more messed up is they seem to still list the check payout method but it's not available for all users. For some reason they're only allowing me to withdraw my money with Bitcoin (which I have to make a small deposit of in order to get my previous winnings).
I'm very upset about this and I know nothing about Bitcoin. I want to find out the quickest way I can convert the Bitcoin to cash and never use that site again. It seems like there's a site called Coinbase which will let you sell your Bitcoin with a 1% fee. But so let's say my balance is $1,000.00 on sportsbook.ag and I have them give it to me in Bitcoin - with the 3% fee for withdrawal - if I go to sell the Bitcoin they give me will it still roughly get me $1,000 when I go to sell it on Coinbase? (aside from the 1% fee they charge)
I'm just asking if Bitcoin will return me the same value when selling it. You would think it should but I feel like Bitcoin is a quasi-scam in some way and will not give me the same value back.
