    We're also Years away from the US getting fully regulated. When/IF that happens, maybe Offshore will start to fade away, but as long as Fla, Cal, Tex, NYC, and some other big dogs don't have Legal Online betting, Offshore will be around and thrive.

    This. Many books start off hot like Pointsbet in NJ and Barstool in PA but then they realize they can't giveaway all this money and actually make money. So they tighten up and turn into the same thing all their competitors are.

    If you are a $10 or $20 guy per game then legal books are fine. But if you are trying to make money or bet big you're better off betting offshore.

    ive live in las vegas for 15 years 75% bets are offshore 20% William hill app 5% in casinos. I like being able to get bonuses and can usually find better lines offshore.

    Since opening lines originate offshore they will not be going away anytime soon. Maybe they should pass legislation that no USA books can copy from CRIS? I agree they can make it harder to get money in and out but its a cat and mouse game anyways, if people want to send their $$ offshore they will be able to. Many post up sites have credit sides anyway

    I live in NYS, right now we can only bet in person, no online wagering or deposting. Closest casino to me is an hour away. No thanks. Until they wise up like NJ and some of these other states it will not take 5% of the betting handle that it should be getting

    As it is beginning to shape up, the major offshores are going to be the major US shops. So they will do just fine.

    That will leave you with the second tiers like BetMania, Jazz, etc which will still be able to offer better deals than you are likely to get in the US. So you will have offshore but on a much smaller scale. Maybe the same scale for some of the mid-sizes but you have to think US gambling is going to take a lot out of them regardless.

    Bitcoin / Coinbase is the government. Quick way to track all the rats.
