I love PTC , and am going to play there , but they dont have most of the major tracks and i will not play without rebates.... any advice ,,,,,,, thank you and this is a great site for horseplayers...

Much harder and more illegal since the gov't changed the rules. Its now illegal for a financial institution to transmit funds for the purpose of wagering from the US to another country. When the rules changed, many people got arrested and lots of US facing offshore betting sites shut down...

I've used bookmaker in the past. Right now I'm using gohorsebetting.com..You can use your debit card. That's right. DEBIT CARD..It's only a 60 cents fee. They pay 3% rebate on all wagers. The tracks close promptly at post time. They don't have Calder. They have poker and other gambling games. A pretty good site. Check it out.

How are you guys getting money out of Bookmaker or any of the other offshores. I just recently opened an offshore account at Bookmaker and after getting a little lucky with a couple pick 4s, I wanted to "take a little off the table." They told me it would take 5 weeks to get a check! They said they could do a bank wire in ten days, but I wasn't sure I really wanted to link an offshore gambling site to my bank account?

Any thoughts?

Who are they? They deserve bad publicity.

I have no firsthand experience, but from what I read on the web, it is not unusual to wait 30 days for a withdrawal from an offshore.

Bookmaker has a good reputation; i have used them in the past.

a paper check withdraw can take up to 30 days, but other methods are available. their payout limits for the ponies are very high. you have to be careful of some offshores limiting your payout.

i have to disagree with cmoore; i would not recommend gohorsebetting.

best wishes.

I don't recommend them. I waited a month for them to pay me and then I was told to wait a 2nd month before I contacted Sports Book Review who successfully put pressure on them to send me a wire. If you can handle more stress and aggravation in your life then feel free to send them your money.

Gohorse maximums on exotic bets are 300-1. WPS, exactas and DD's your probably safe. Pick 3's, 4's and trifectas you could posibly go over the maximum. Bookmakers maximum are much higher. I believe Book has a race maximum. They seperate their tracks from A to D. Gohorse has poker which I play every week. Just go to the sites and read the payout rules and decide for yourself.

ehorsex told me they deal through money gram/west union. Anyone else play with them ? it seems like it would be great value betting there
