    Thanks ! This tells me they are game players.
    The only reason I opened an acct with them is that next year they will open a brick and mortar sportsbook near me in Virginia.
    Very shady

    between all the freebies, boosts and other promo's and the ease of funding with zero fee's(Many guys pay 2-6%+ for bitcoin in and out) for most recreational guys who play USA sports the legal state books are +EV... Plus the big thing you will always get paid

    Unless you like paying awful vig, offshore is still where you need to be.

    I'm with littlekona. Had Heritage and 5 Illinois Books. Heritage slowly kept taking away all my perks. Now just play the 5 Illinois books and between them with all their specials and boosts, I come out better than using the Heritage lines.

    Screw them. I applied for a position with them as a professional in the industry for 10+ years. They said they found a better fit....

    No book in the world that I'm more interested in punishing than them. Will probably get limited soon after they launch in my state (soon).

    I get it 100%!
    I signed up over time with 4 Virginia legal books and this one is the ONLY one that made me feel like a total FOOL.
    What I'm having trouble understanding is why the state of Virginia or any state for that matter which has legalized sports wagering online has to "approve" a place to operate in their boundaries. It gives me the feel of something not quite right. Now that doesn't mean "cart blanche" approval, but give me a break.

    So Sunday I did a few withdrawls my usual way with the Trustly Rush pay that instant process. Then I did a VIP Preferered one later and for the first time it did not process instant and asked for docs my ID and bank Statement. So I submit the info and today I get an email that Im verified again and the withdrawl are processing. So it took them a bit over one business day which to review docs which is withinn acceptable time frame.

    Are you sure about this? I play extensively online casino and sports at the domestic sites. I actually have the majority of my money sitting with them, certainly more than I have in the bank. I’m not worried in the least. But my home state isn’t legal yet so I have to travel to other states so I’ve recently been looking at offshore places. Read the posts on this forum. It’s nothing but people getting scammed. I use about 3 places now. The first thing I noticed was all these rules I wasn’t used to. I sweat any money I have in there. The deposit/withdraw process is archaic and annoying. I’m not sure what you mean by the vig is better. The vig at domestic shops is the same. They also offer way more selections like alternative lines. Their sites and apps are way easier to use.
    As for Bet Rivers, I use them in PA and NJ and haven’t had any issues. Because they’re Kambi I didn’t use them much because Draftkings was always my go to place. Now that they are independent I have been branching out to other Kambi books. I have placed several low 4 figure bets with them lately and they’ve all been approved instantly. So everything is good so far.

    You're reading the worst of the worst experiences. If you know what you're doing, offshore is great. Stick with the reputable sites and you won't have any payment issues. Bitcoin deposits/withdrawals are super easy once you get used to them, and alleviate any banking nonsense. And of course the vig offshore is better.

    I'm sure there are benefits of legal books which can be taken advantage of. But overall, I'm not looking forward to the day when my state goes legal.

    the point is that the VIG on major sports is ok and sometimes even better then the USA targeted offshore books. with the added promos and no cost deposit/withdrawls for most guys its a better solution. Now if you play Soccer and smaller market sports or Big Chalk ML's offshore is a must have. Bottom Line for serious players you should be using both and for real recreational players Stateside plenty plus less costly to fund/withdrawl

    Lines are actually very good even with the higher juice. Problem is this book has zero tolerance for anyone who bets smart and takes good numbers. They'll limit you quick to grocery store dollars.
