We have a banking issue here.
all due respect Dom, its a laziness issue.
there is NO way the banks can keep up with knowing that an account belongs to a casino if they keep opening new accounts under different names and paying that way.
Yes that is labor intensive. But it is possible and IS being done. I just received and cashed a check the other day for winnings.
the simple fact is that this is the cost of doing business nowdays.
Not so long ago when offshore sportsbooks first came onto the picture, you had to send and recieve money WU.
They had different names you sent the money to on a regular basis. I know this because I did it again and again and it always worked.
Then came the ability to use credit cards and eventually it went to ewallets.
Now I’m not argueing the fact this can be considered money laundering and all that. But the point is that this is a situation that should be on the player to decide whether they want to risk. The casino’s job is to get the money to the player. They are not responsible for the player’s situation after they get the money. We are after all talking about adults here who SHOULD have the right to make their own decisions on what they are and aren’t willing to risk.
right now, …. not one person has ever been prosecuted for recieving funds for a gambling win. (which I also point out would be very hard to prove if done correctly).
