There is no such thing as a safe book anymore. Many people believe some sites are safer than others and that's likely the case but these places aren't the equivelent of a bank. You have no control of your funds once you decide to deposit and with all the BS going on these days I would definately not deposit anything you're not willing to never see again. (win or lose)

My guess is it's a matter of time before there are no solid options remaining for US Players.

so basically once the government shuts down the book...u wont see a penny from them huh?

has anyone seen a payment from a seized book?

If you were looking for an advertised SBR site, Bodog has never missed a payout on my end. Lines come out a little late but for all the bad talk about their future I seem them finding a way to stay in the game. GL

safest are much smaller books right now.. but imo just stay away from books with poker.. so far those are the only companies that have left usa or been forced out.

no way to offer any sound advice other than to play at your own risk and fully understand that there is a chance you won't see your money if you have funds in your acct. when everything falls apart!!

The books you mentioned are among the safest.

I think Legends and 5 Dimes are among the Safest books,

5Dimes is on Costa Rica and Legends is on Panama

Legends doesnt have Poker
5Dimes dont know if they have

there is no way to honestly evaluate the current situation of online books. Tony at 5d claims he's not going anywhere but do you really think he would tell you if he was? All these books seem to escape more or less the same way. They tell you they're leaving the US market and they won't transfer your funds to another book. At that point you have no choice other than to worry about your funds becoming liquid again. People, you need to get your head out of the sand. This crap seems to happen just about every few weeks or so.
