asian connect just closed their m0ney gram portal, which was basically the only gateway open for US customers. any other broker who deals with pinnacle?
I would be weary if your American playing at these places, I would think moving money could be an issue.

That's why Americans with a clue play at 18th hole, same openers as Pinnacle & much better closing numbers. Payouts are hassle free with no fees. Using a broker to play at Pinny carries fees & is way riskier than playing at 18th hole.

18th hole is a site where the lines never change and the bettor never gets paid. Scam little twenty year old kid who use to work for bet horizon and went on his own to do pay per head thing.

I'm using Asian Connect for more then 5 years. Good brokerage service, good customer service. Much better then a straight Pinnacle account. I'm happy with them so far.

Just be careful not to run up a large balance. There were a few cases this past year where Asianconnect (aka asianconnect88) tried to steal large balances from players. In one case they were going to stiff over 100k. They refused to pay for over a month and finally had no choice but to pay when they were forced to if they wanted to remain in business.
Really shady entity. Their management is extremely incompetent for the amount of money they handle and that should be scary.

Santo and Automat, thanks for your feedback
Waiting for more feedback about this site, e.g. in what circumstances are they the only option
The line : "If you want to bet more than books offer" is just too shady for me ... and the fees ... what about them
Has anyone had bigger amounts with them and how long do withdrawals take, any problems?
Waiting for answers
They have charges on their Skrill transactions. Nowadays that can easily put you off when pretty much every bookmaker is offering free deposit and withdrawal transactions. I moved to Samvo betbroker - no charges or fees

It depends on the method. If you place bets through their skype service the minimum is 100 Euros.

If you bet directly it's 5 EUR for SBO , 25 EUR for Pinnacle. Generally min bet limit is low for any book. I don't know if they offer USD, they might, but not on every account.

They confirmed to me that UK was still accepted after the law changes there.

No USA players allowed at Asian connect in the last 6 months as far as i know but they did email me back after about a month of trying to get in and they were trying to get me in but i guess they forgot i was from the USA because as soon as they knew i was SOL again !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous !

Well first licensing doesn't mean jack most anywhere. There are very limited select few good gambling commissions around the world but these are closed markets. Example: WCGRB in SA is imo the best gambling commission period but this is for people living there. Understand all the gambling commissions in open markets are for the benefit of the operator (almost period). It's to make them legal, it's for tax strategies, for obtaining merchant accounts or whatever else. The seal on the bottom of a website makes no difference. Those gambling commission are not there for nor should they ever be considered sells for the players. That's something for underwriters or police to look at or w/e.
To correct a point though sportsbook.com is operating with a Malta license for sports and Kahnawake license for other products. Sportsbook.ag is Antigua licensed.
A couple things: Antigua has strict requirements for initial licensing such as criteria to meet, after that is somewhat lax a lot of reporting but that's all. It's also not third party subbed out licences. (Asian Connect is not licensed there). Where they are licensed (Curaçao) had written some of the best policies early on. Required physical presence on the Island, all servers be maintained there, required segregated funds etc. The policies were good, the enforcement was always questionable. In time it's gotten worse. There are now many companies that claim licensing there and don't even have it and the ones that do are subbed out. These would be pretty easy to find but there isn't a legit law enforcement division of their gaming commission such as exists in many closed regulated markets.
Anyways all that just babble. I've always trusted Asian Connect I've referred to them and some to PN and BBB but right now I'd be a bit careful. They're huge and probably fine, but the ACBet thing does make me curious. Did a relationship spoil, if so, which and why? I've heard some talk that regarding development project of one of their associates. This makes me suspect maybe they are involved in this, but why close early. I don't know, nor do I even know they are involved with this. I've heard other talk further back that makes me a little nervous. but we're just talking about idiots who have big mouths where they shouldn't, I'm speculating, they're speculating etc.
asianconnect reliable? License as unreliable. do not reply to e-mail any problems. http://validate.cyberluck.com/valida...6-46250a00002a
