It could be your bank. A friend of mine that uses betus isn't able to use his bank card with them. Call them and have them do the transaction. Their customer service has been great with my experience.

Also, if you are just setting up your account, there is a good chance they will give you some "free money" to make wagers with. Just ask them.

I use www.playersonly.com. When you sign up they'll give you 10% more on your first deposit. They give you $10 to bet with when you create a mobile account. They also give you $50 for referering a friend. I just refered a person, but have yet to see the money. It's only been a couple hours and it's my gf, so it may have something to do with the same IP address.

Ive never had problems with Bodog. Took less than a week each time(3) Never cashed out big money(400 was the most) so im not sure how long it takes if you cash out a lot.

Bookmaker is easily the best site in my opinion. I'm also on BetED, which completely blows but they took echecks so it was easy to deposit.

I use superbook. Never had a problem getting money in or out. My only problem is they recently released a mobile app which isn't compatible with my phone and they offered a bonus for any bets placed using the app....

No idea. I haven't deposited money on bodog, is using your checking account not an option? What about your bank debit card?

Almost all sites started blocking bank cards in the past year or two because of the UIGEA. Which is why I had to deposit on BetED. EChecks aren't blocked by anyone, but they are the only site that takes them (that also takes U.S. customers) that I could find.

There are usually other ways to get around depositing if you can't use the debit card, but it's a pain in the ass.

I'd assume echeck would be using checking and routing numbers. What bank do you use? I know Chase has a list of routing numbers on its site.

lol, sounds like you got a good deal on the gift card :)


If you can find your chase account number you should be good. Routing numbers can be found in the customer service section on the accounts page online.
