    But there must be some reason they do it. Maybe they care more about 700K fines than you imagine...

    I don't know enough about fincen laws to understand why coinbase does what they do. I will say that Bittrex and Kraken are both US based and I have never been asked a thing about where my bitcoin is going or coming from by them.
    Sounds like a pretty simple solution here. Don't use Coinbase for offshore gambling.

    I don't have enough inside knowledge to be sure myself. Gemini is definitely as easy as they can afford to be on gambling transfers. I suspect Coinbase is a bit more under the microscope than any other US licensed exchange being so huge.

    Their problem is partially that if they get it wrong and Fincen comes at them in a couple of years time, they could get hundreds or thousands of incidents fined upon that adds up to a lot.

    My guess is that the anti-gambling usage terms will eventually be dropped.

    Is this something new within the last few weeks? I've made several deposits and withdrawals to B105, Bookmaker, BAS using coinbase and not had any issues.

    No it has always been the case. A lot of people ignore their terms and do what you do and don't have a problem, until they do. It's not a slam dunk you get caught. It's luck of the draw.

    If you would consider it a big problem to not have the Coinbase account, then it's smart to make the extra effort.

    lol. A bank account is probably more anonymous than bitcoin is.

    Less than 24 hours is slow pay. I get paid in less than 20 minutes at most books. Stick to your annoying lies about Donald Trump.

    how can the new leader in offshore be a place that limits you to $37 wagers

    there are some good offerings... just wish they would keep higher limits and not make me log back in every 10 seconds

    If you can't do a same day bitcoin payout then you aren't a leader. Far from it.

    It's a must have out and given their software works, I guess that does make you an industry leader these days.

    Betanysports EXCELLENT!!!

    I have had nothing but good experiences with this company...

    FRom what I understand it is the old 5 Dimes platform...


    Great options...Fast Live Chat..with agents that know what they are talking about unlike the USA counterparts.


    Buypoints.....and -105 lines on Reduced Juice


    Credit card deposits work fast


    One of the best I have tried Offshore
