After much discussion, reward no longer exceeds risk in gaming offshore.
There have always been the risks of banks closing your accounts, audits, stiff jobs, etc. In the past, in our opinion, the reward had outweighed the risk.
At this point, in our opinions, the risk far outweighs the reward.
Making money gambling is hard work. It's more of a lifestyle than a job. Frankly, I believe you have to enjoy it to excel at it. I don't enjoy reading each day who has been indicted, who has closed down, and how fucked up the United States is. Quite frankly, I don't have the energy to even begin looking at the games.
Moving offshore doesnt solve the problems.
The combination of Pinnacle closing + the likely netelller shut down to come + continued government pressure on offshore books spells disaster. There is going to be a run on the books and I dont think that many are solvent. I think over the next 3-6 a number will go belly up or dissapear.
Once I get my last two withdrawals, for the first time in about 10 years, I will have no (Except amounts to small to withdraw) money offshore. It is a sad day.
We'll reevaluate the situation in a few months, but think conservatism will save money in the long run.
Sadly, it is no longer fun.
