Default 1st post, how much hassle is it signing up with a sportsbook?

Hello all, I've read these forums up and down and yes even used the "search" tool, but i didn't find a thread that I was looking for.

So, for a new guy (haven't bet online since 04') I'm reading good things about betjamaica. I just really want to know how much of a hassle it is to sign up/make deposits/withdrawls etc. How much info do I actually have to fax and do I have to do that everytime I request a payout, or did I read it wrong? I'd be depositing money via CC and wanted to know your opinions on the best way to get a payout? I'm not sure how that whole "***************" thing works or would just a normal cashiers check be better?

thanks to any who read and respond.

you usually have to fax id like a drivers license and some other stuff. you don't have to do this for all books though.

I joined betjam and sent a Cashiers check the next day (Fedex) and within 24 hours the money was in my account with the sign up bonus and a partial refund for the fedex fees.

Welcome to SBR theknuck! Bet Jamaica or 5dimes sound like they are your best bets here. No faxing required when sending a ** or ** deposit, they'll both pay you out by check and take roughly 2-4 business days. Both have great lines, friendly customer service, and are as secure as they come.

Don't do it. Almost every online sportsbook is claiming interference from the U.S. government and won't even reply to your request information...choosing to give you lame apologies or blaming it on their processors (as if the processors do not work for them).

They have $8K of my money, refuse to pay and feel they have the right to say they are not going to pay any more often than once a month, limited to an arbitrary limit they set...even though you may have bought in to the tune of big bucks.
