If i were you I'd take a trip to europe, set some stuff up, and use a vpn

Too much of a hassle and if I had to go this route, I'd go to Canada and play with Pinnacle first and foremost. I covered why I am not going to do it in my OP. Thanks for your reply.

Back in the Neteller days it a was a different landscape, but today Pinnacle and Bookmaker (CRIS) are probably the only remaining offshore books you can trust with "large balances" year after year.

Books like 5dimess and Heritage are solid, but they will limit you if you win.

Totally agree about NT, it was a much better time indeed. Thanks for the heads up on the limiting with Heritage.

I don't gamble offshore any longer but I'd be more worried about getting it out than I would be getting it in. I once had to withdraw 15K from bookmaker and it wasn't easy, granted that was 4 or 5 years ago and lot of delays. About the same amount from another book and it took forever

Thanks for your reply. If you had that problem with 15K back then at Bookmaker and it has become tougher since then....... this is why I am looking and seeking advice. Thanks for sharing your experience.

First off thanks for all the replies. You took the time to answer my questions and steer me in the right direction (most of you) and I felt you should get a reply back. If I missed anyone, sorry about that, but I rapid fired responses back in kind.

My takeaways from this is to look at Betdsi, Heritage and Bookmaker using the CRIS side.

I believe I may have old accounts at the latter two but haven't been used in a while. I've done a lot of business offshore over the years, way more on the winning side and have been given the thanks for playing with us but you're not welcome anymore. You know the we are for recreational bettors. They should have on their front page, we only want losing customers, winning customers don't deposit. Or just call their book Sucker Bets. Home of the losing players.

Also to the people that sent me messages, it is 99.9% certainty I will just delete your message, it's nothing personal but as I stated in my opening post, I didn't want that at all. I think this kind of back and forth is good for the forum because there are likely people that have questions and are afraid to ask in fear of being shunned. Hopefully this has been an education for others.

Thanks again everyone and mods if you want you can lock this topic down from further discussion or keep it open for others to chime in if they like.

Good luck to all.

does it all have to be at one book? because splitting it up would be ideal, prob 10k each.

That use to be the case when you wanted to spread the money around at some "regular" Top Books ... but if you can find one good solid shop like a Bookmaker
there's no need to do that. IMHO

Thanks for the reply. I am going to look into those two for certain. I remember CRIS pretty much took almost any wager but since merging with BM, I didn't think those days were still in order. Great feedback. Thank You

Not sure which Shops still do this ... but you might want to ask them for Your own Account Manager ....
Besides online, they will give you a phone number that's only for VIP's :)

No Canada is out. Matchbook doesn't take players from there anymore and you can't use skrill from there anymore. Just having access to matchbook alone would be worth the hassle of setting up in Europe, and the worst that would happen is they close your account and return your money.

Just wanted to give a follow up:

Ended up going with Bookmaker. They had the availability to facilitate large deposit amount with relative ease. There wasn't any issues.

Since depositing, I have made multiple withdraws using the bank wire feature. For those with large balances this is the way to go as you can cash out at $45K max per withdraw with a min of 10K. The few things I dislike is that you can only cashout once per week or once the cashout has been processed. The other is the $600 fee to do a wire transfer to get your money. But I guess in the end it has to be to cover their expenses. I think the fee is lower if you do 10K but at the max 45K it's $600.

I started originally taking check by mail thinking you could do more than one transaction per week but quickly found $3K was the max and once per week. Hence why I went with the wires instead.

No issues cashing the check, it arrived several days after request and the wires have gone every 10-14 days or so.

Smaller limits during the week, but much better on gameday. Live betting has low limits $825 max from my experience.

I recommend them if you are a serious player.

Let us know how it goes. You always hear about Bookmaker's high limits but I don't know anyone who has tested it themselves.

Deposit $50K better throw in 5 different bookmakers - so it will be safer.
