    Hey folks, its that great time of year again.. Football season. I had a great season last year thanks to the Patriots, but sadly I discovered my online site TOPBET is a scam. it has been a long time since the Super Bowl and they have still not paid me. They claim there is nothing they can do about, i just have to keep waiting. So Please avoid TOPBET at all costs... what good is it to win and have them not pay? So, I am looking for a place to open a new online account for this years football season... please only advise me on sites that you have requested a payout and been paid quickly. Again.. avoid TOPBET.. they do not pay. Thanks, for your help. Rugbysteve

    bovada.com

    I've been using it for years, they usually take about two weeks or so to send a check out, but there are also other types of pay out methods. Let me know if you have any questions

    It's not the answer you want, but there are no online books that allow bets from US-based players are really safe.

    Bookies in the UK are regulated by the gambling commission. Absolutely useless and books here are as unsafe as the ones the US players use.

    Plenty of them have confiscated funds or just ran off with players money. Only advice from me would to keep a fairly low amount in there or if playing with bonuses then be very careful to stick to their terms as they will all stiff you given half a chance.

    Also personally find it crazy that US players cannot bet online in this day and age.

    It's like anything in life. Some people rave about a product, others rant.

    As for the OPs question. I would trust any book that has been around for 15 or more years.

    All books taking US bets are unsafe because:

    - the government can shut them down at any time (and they've certainly done so in the past.)
    - you have no recourse if they stiff/screw you

    Further, a lot of the books US people are playing at are in rather weak regulatory jurisdictions.

    I have zero concern that the books I listed will confiscate my money. I have more concern crossing the street
