Yeh the gov't I guess has the goods on every gambling entity offshore so they are closing to avoid jail time.

[BuddyBear]

Good luck finding anyone willing to take the heat of processing gambling transactions.

I think that Securebuxx is going to re-emerge and take the entire market.

I'm sure somebody will step up to the plate despite the heat laker.

Some books still take CC transaction somehow even though thats been banned for quite sometime now. I don't know how they do it nor want to know either, because it's not my business at all. It all comes down to processing

"*************" and "**********" is still available for US customers. You can fund your sportsbook account with those deposit methods.

There are others payments method that still accept US customers like ******* and Central Coin.

I don't know about **********. I haven't heard anything from them directly but Pinnacle, WSEX & Matchbook no longer accept **********.

The step of the player sending money to offshore is going to continue to be the toughest. If a place opened in Antigua like Neteller, cool, the books could work with it. But the question of how to get money to it is still the same. Cashiers checks is an option, and the only one I think will hold up long term.

Feds were "smart" to go after Neteller because within days almost everyone who was a legitimate player in the processing market got the hell out. Now those that still remain are easily targeted by the government. And the government can go after their banking connections because they aren't dealing with dozens of processors, now is barely a handful.

So essentially, I believe that all EFT/***************/*************** transfer will go away. These are all very much related to banks and fall under the law. ************ will go too.

Not to mention in this environment is going to be tough for books to trust processors. In the best of times processors stiffed books for big money. In the worst of times, processors are going to run with book and player money when they get heat from the feds or when they know they can get out now with a little cash.

Figure that risk in and lot of books are going to be better off doing cashiers checks and book to book transfers. Maybe a little **, but you will see busts on them and some ** operates will stiff books too. Vicious ******* cycle.
