So draftkings apparently has a sports book app now that I'd have to change the security measures on my phone to download.

Anyone use it yet?

Edit: Checked it out. Still need to be in a state where its legal.

Yea, that's where I looked first and found out the same thing. I'd use Bovada. It's easy.

I actually just signed up for a Bovado account. Seems easy to use.

Yup, bitcoin should be easiest if you want to avoid the usual strict regulations (and what comes with it) in the US...

I can advise Betstar, as I have been playing here for a long time, more than a year. A reliable bookmaker with normal odds. I read somewhere that the chances here are low - they lie. I play on several sites all the time, so when compared to betstar, they are really higher. I like the support guys, they will explain everything clearly. They respond quickly and to the point.
For some, the absence of a mobile application from this office is bad, but for me it is so good, but I like to play with a computer, and in my opinion it is better to trust fiber than mobile Internet. The money you win comes in pretty quickly. The maximum payments came in three hours.

I settled on Bovada a couple weeks ago. Haven't cashed out yet (and won't till the end of the NFL season at least) but it seems pretty legit

5dimes, bovada, are the ones that i use primarily. The books in the states don't allow you to buy points.

I used to use 5dimes, and I just looked them up and saw they closed to US customers...I am unsure if they paid out everyone (you had to request it). I probably had some money still in an account there but hadn't used it in a couple years. It wasn't much.

I also read this:

Since the early September announcement, the only “official” word from 5Dimes came via a statement from Laura Varela, the widow of 5Dimes founder Sean “Tony” Creighton, who was kidnapped and killed in Costa Rica in 2018. Creighton’s relatives reportedly paid $1 million in ransom, though the kidnappers demanded $5 million. His body was found a year later.

I definitely hear about Bodava the most, so I assume they are the best.

Whoa, I had no clue about that backstory. I had read that Tony was not well liked, but I doubt he deserved that.

I had like $20 in my account the day before 5dimes was shutting out US customers, so I blew it on a parlay in place of making a $20 withdrawal. But they gave advance notice, and from what I read on Reddit, everyone got paid, or was going to get paid. Word was they were paying out balances, but that they were swamped with withdrawal requests so there was a wait for processing. I think they are planning to go legit in the US, but if so, they won't accept AZ residents...

My research led me to Bookmaker.eu, most other options seemed similar and Bookmaker seemed to have the best rep in regards to lines/withdawals and overall credibility. Not that Betonline and Bovada are not trustworthy...

So far? They don't seem to offer any NFL fantasy props on Saturday night, they don't offer NCAA team totals on Friday night, parlay odds seem slightly lower than 5dimes, and parlay limits = 15 teams and a $150k payout (vs 25 teams and a $500k payout at 5dimes). But the interface is user friendly, cryptocurrency deposits are easy as hell and they accept a variety of cryptocurrencies rather than just Bitcoin (which I appreciate since learning about and taking up cryptocurrency earlier this year), they let you sell a few points on most lines in addition to buying points, and unlike 5dimes they let you buy points on half/quarter lines.

I opened a Betonline account last night, seems similar, they offer better props and maybe better parlay odds, but they don't let you buy points (edit, they do when placing straight bets, but not parlays). Haven't used Bovada yet.

I made my first withdrawal from Bovada on the 25th, got my check via FedEx today. So I'm happy.
