    Does anyone on here bet online. And if you do what website is the best one? And is it even legal in the US?

    Thinking about getting into this to try to get some extra money

    As far as I know it is still illegal in the US and it's become increasingly difficult to receive payments from overseas. For example, BoDog requires you to fax them a copy of your driver's license! Sportsbook I think goes through a 3rd company in Canada which is where you would receive your payments from. It is also a slow process.


    I was never very good at betting on games but I always did well at poker. Haven't gambled online in years and have no plans to until/unless they legalize it in the United States. I believe there was some discussion about it in congress a year or so ago and I think there is a push to legalize it here, but I imagine it is years or decades from becoming reality.

    Not really interested in betting on games but I would definitely play some online poker again.

    Bodog is legit (in the context of receiving what is advertised). You have several options to send and receive money. If you chose to have a check sent to you, it comes from Coasta Rica.

    As mentioned, it isn't legal.

    I get my gambling fix from Scottrade. :lol:

    Since Bet Jamaica closed, I don't know of a decent way to do it.

    Bodog is the best I have used.

    I usually play every week and I'm currently up. I just cashed out $300. My check is on the way.

    You had to fax them a copy of your driver's license right? I always thought that was over the top shady.

    Plus they hit your credit card for currency conversion fees. I guess you can sign up to that 3rd party site to make deposits.
