    5 Reasons why online gambling sux....
    1. Even the best books make you wait for $$$$. Not 2 or 3 days. Sometimes at least a week.

    2. The A+ Book I use, only allows 1 payout per week. So unless you are a wonder at money management, it's very easy to blow funds that you normally wouldn't have.

    3. When certain options are working, it's too easy to fund. Physically getting $$$ and going to a casino, makes you think- wait a minute, what the fuk am I doing? Giving yourself a chance to snap out of it.

    4. If all those poker sites could go down, so can any of these books at anytime. The US Government does whatever thay want. No book is safe. TheGreek left for a reason. It's scary waiting on funds. You won the game and you are still a little worried.

    5. The payout rules constantly change. My book just made a new rule-no withdrawals until 72 hours after deposit. And a certain payout method has to be $10,000 minimum. Making it virtually impossible to withdraw funds between $3,001 and $9,999 at once. SBR won't allow me to get into methods or I would.


    I have been wagering online since October 2006. When I first started, I got paid quickly. A couple of weeks ago I blew like $13,000 in an account. I started w $1000 and got up to around $13,000 And I take full responsibility. However, I realized what happened. The funds started looking like monopoly money. I didn't request a payout because I was honestly too lazy to get on the phone and go thru all the nonsense. It was a bad decision. But if I was in an actual land based casino, I never would of made a $6,700 wager bc I wouldn't of had the balls. Rightly so. People are going to say- so stop gambling online and stop whining. Fair enough. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Locals suck to btw.

    Untrue. I almost always get paid within 24 hours by all the books I use.

    If you are asking for multiple payouts in a week you are a pest. I don't think this game's for you if you can't manage your money better than that.

    You're right on this one if you are talking about books which accept US customers.

            Hey don't blame online for your issues, u have to take responsibility for your own actions. I've done stupid sh-it before and paid for it but i'll be damn sure if i make those stupid mistakes again. All this $ to be made online and your complaining.

              You make three excellent points, which are valid complaints. However, the two listed above are a YOU problem, not a book problem. You either have a money management problem, or more likely, a gambling problem.

              In your list of 5 issues, you are blaming the books both for making it too easy to deposit, and too difficult to withdrawal.

              If you feel it is too difficult to cashout, then why would you deposit? Makes no sense. So you are telling me you would gamble less if it were easy to cashout and hard to deposit? Nope, not buying that either.

              At some point, you need to take responsibility for your own weaknesses.

                Online gambling does not suck. Online gambling in the US might but that is a matter for you and your government.
                Land of the free........... LOL.

                    Damn, it's been 5 year since Netteller has been gone. It is still sorely missed to this day.

                      The most annoying thing is having 20 options to deposit but only 2 to withdrawal....for obvious reasons.

                      Pinnacle, thegreek, never had to wait long for my money.

                      Then you have Bodog which is considered an A book or whatever and you can only get a cheque as payout....lame.

                      Bookmaker has i n s t a d e b i t as a deposit option but not for a withdrawal option, what's the point??? pathetic

                        1. A week? Are you crazy? Where are you living, Tanzania? God bless NETeller, money is in my account in 30 minutes. (Even if you use bank transfer, TheGreek sends your money in 2 days)

                        2. If you're a disciplined bettor, it won't be a problem for you.

                        3. I don't play casino games at online books. Nothing but a waste of money.

                        4. Not playing poker either, lol. About security of funds, as long as you stick with A+ books, you should not have any problems. Pinnacle, TheGreek are more solid in then "a Bank" in my opinion.

                        5. Can't you wait for 72 hours? LoL.
