Mansion no longer taking US action

[Pitumbo]

All respectable bookmakers have decided to not go on dealing to U.S. customers. The ones left are not the respectable ones in the eyes on the U.S. Goverment. It's only a matter of time that they too will be closed.

There isn't anywhere close to the customers in the rest of the world to keep open. Time will tell.

Yeah, because there are so few people in Asia and hardly any of them gamble.

hno:

Since when did NET WORTH have anything to do with CREDIBILITY????

The Greek and the boys at Wsex know more about this business and have 100x the credibility IN THIS BUSINESS than the owner of Mansion.

-FH-

Sorry to say Fishhead, at this point in time, the only sportsbooks left with creditibility are big sportsbooks who have diverse markets & interests (like Pokerdome) whose business is not of the US facing market type.

The problem is the US government has deemed this as money laundering and is going after them sportsbooks with a vengence, using the US based banks as their deputy.

There is no comfort if The Greek or Wsex knows more about this business and not know about the law.

Pinnicale & Manison have left the US market. A sportsbook like Bowmans, would not even touch the US market. This tells me Pinnicale & Manison don't intend to return, unless the law changes.

I think there is a risk that books like The Greek or Wsex would be unable to return money to the US player.

Every man for himself is not bad advice at this time.

You cant be serious.

To keep all these American offshore books open. No way! I have opened at least 5 offshore sports books and there is just not a market for all these American sport sports books.

Don't kid yourself!

And Asians will not risk their money with some fly-by-night American illegal sports book. Where do you guys get your knowledge? or facts?

its not my machine because I can get into my New Mansion account no problems.

Well, I've just been bitten by the Mansion bug. I can login but no sports events load in either the exchange or sportsbook but the casino and poker pages load OK. :ughhh:

 

[Woody0]

Yup. William Hill and Ladbrokes will close down any day.hno:

Well that will make Joe Coral happy.

ECO 101 - supply and demand - where there is a billion dollar demand there will be many suppliers.

WOW,

I have finally gotten my log in problem resolved, but now another problem.

I dont see anything in the exchange except for NBA and only 1 game at that?

There is no NHL, no NFL and no soccer?

anyone else having this problem?


EDIT: (woody, I assume this is the same problem that you are having?)

 

[ClipJoint]

anyone else having this problem?

Yes...Mansion.

I see that their notice says "at this time we are unable to offer this service to U.S. members".

Looks to me that they'd like to leave the door ajar to the future.

I love Matchbook; and with Mansion leaving the US -- was thinking that Matchbook would get even more of my plays... Then I read the link below..

- What do you think of this??
- How do you get paid by matchbook???

It makes ZERO sense to endorse WSEX but not endorse Matchbook. Last I checked, Matchbook does quick and free transfers between a player's Matchbook and WSEX account. Think about it. Not that complicated.

In re-reading their article, they seem to be implying that Matchbook and WSEX are not affiliated. That is certainly not my impression. I know things change these days on a daily basis. Did I miss something?

It seems everyday I have to delete another of my bookmarks in my favorite list.

yes, they are definatly implicating that they are not affiliated:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] One of those companies would have to be World Sports Exchange, however, in doing so we were also under the impression that Matchbook.com was somehow affiliated with WSEX.com and have been giving our readers the nod to go there as well.
This appears not to be the case and readers have begun complaining of payout delays at Matchbook.com.

[j2w2s2]

I agree with you D2: I hear that "911" may like to PUSH only books that give a good affiliate payback....???

I DO think that wsex and MB are affiliated. The SBR website has said that for a while... Altho they also have MB only B-rated...

Have people been getting paid from Matchbook OK? Can you cash their bank checks in the US ok?

 

[SportSavant]

Can't see anything, not even one NBA game.

right,

now I cannot see anything either,

when I logged in before I saw 1 NBA game and one event called 'TEST', so I guess they are working on it....

isnt that hilarious! uppy:

I finally get access to my account after 6 months of asking and now I cant place aq bet! hno:
