    Sportsbooks for US players?

    Hello All,

    I found this site after researching. I gambled online before like 2 years ago and used betonsports.com

    However since gambling is illegal in the U.S. now, which sportsbook do you guys recommend for U.S. players? I'm guessing its either Pinnacle, Greek, or matchbook. Thanks in advance.

    First off, Welcome to the forum earsly



    Why all three books you list below are extremely solid (Pinnacle (non-U.S.), TheGreek, and Matchbook. Here is the two books I would recommend to you along with why and what they have to offer.

    BetJamaica is more of a recreation book and does offer nice reload bonuses, however since they are a recreational book they could cut your limits. They don't offer a live chat service, but they do answer their emails within 5-10 minutes. The banking options aren't the greatest out there, but nobody's are these days for U.S. customers, however they also offer one free payout via Fedex per calender month (min. $200), and $35 flat fee after (receive checks within 3 days). The lines they offer are very competitive with most other books IMO.


    WSEX has more of a professional type flavor to them, and will not cut your limits. Their customer service is very good, and they do offer a live chat feature which is a plus for those who want their question answered ASAP without picking up a phone and dialing. They also offer a rake free poker room if thats your thing, as well as live betting on selective games on a daily basis.Their banking option aren't exactly the best, but again I say it's do to the U.S. law restrictions, and the withdraws for Fedex checks are reasonable at only $30 (received within 2-4 days). Bonuses are hardly offered, but they do send out special email offers and or special reload offers on their website from time to time.

    Open at both. Greek is a great book and you'll find great value at Matchbook.
    I use Matchbook more than my other outs now.


    Good luck

    just move to a country that gives you the freedom to gamble.
