Default No wonder the feds associate online gambling with terrorism

Another eye opener for me as legions of folks use funding companies under fake, made up names.

So if I understand this correctly,

to avoid sending up any red flags you create a false identity,

even though one out of millions of online gamblers may have been prosecuted,

but transactions under a false alias certainly won't draw any overt attention?

so exactly how are the books supposed to figure out if the ecommerce company is creating bogus accounts, or it's just another one of their punters?

my personal experience has generally been that deceit creates alot more problems than it ever solves.

Take care,
TA

TA,

Point is well taken...that being said, I have no problem bank wiring money
to a sportsbook, or sending a cashiers check....and/or receiving the same way,
Problem for most people is they want to make a bet the same day/hour/minute
If you are a "that short term customer" GL..but I'm not a big fan of giving up my "routing #" to my sister...I've seen it happen,
giving up the routing # and the acct # and someone "automatically" withdrawing funds..
That is why I don't use "NetTeller" they tell me they only want to transfer to my acct...

BUYER BEWARE, they are the next

The U.S. government wants all transactions to foreign countries (labeled)
For me, I don't use any of them, NetTeller or the other, for the players who need to
deposit 5,000 in 1 book to make a middle out of another book, good luck...
Somewhere the fees will get you, even if you pay the fees, maybe it's a "new" book
and they stiff you or the winning end......

My guidelines should NOT be for everybody, but that being said, I've been playing offshore
for 10 years, never been stiffed.........I don't chase the bonuses, ( take 10% when available)
never have posted with anybody who offers 25%, I don't play with anybody who has been
open less than 5-6-7 years......

More importantly......NO STOCK PROMOTERS....

---------------------------------------------------------------------

9/11

Two buildings fell, a lot of people died............It was terrible,and hopefully
no ones here family or friends died ..
So what did the government do....

They did what they were supposed to do..They arrested all the BM's

PATRIOT ACT............. like it or leave
