I'm 18 and live in Georgia..

First question... is it legal for me to play? The lady on the phone said yes

Next question. How good is it? How fast does it take winnings to move over? Anybody wanna review it for me? Sorry and thanks for the information in advance!

:)

Not sure about age, but I got a check from them in about a month. I think their servers were down. It worked.

Yes, its legal since it's hosted overseas. It's the best online sportsbook IMO, especially for football. My checks have taken about 2-3 weeks to get here and they've all cleared.

Do it. It's fun.

im not entirely sure if it's legal or not but your chances of getting in trouble are very nominal. Ive gambled on it a couple dozen times and like it, probably the best out of the 3-4 sites ive used at sending me my winnings

only downside is they just dont offer many lines and are very late at posting some of them

i use betdsi now and i really like it, all about having options for me

I used them for years.

The Good - They will pay out. They will take a bet on nearly anything.

The Bad - You get charged a fee when you deposit, then your bank charges an international fee, then you get shitty lines, then when you get a check, you have to wait 4 weeks for it to clear bc it is international, then your bank charges an international fee.

Kid, do yourself a favor and save your money. I have used Bovada before, but the way you type, I'd venture to say you will lose money....

I went to sign up last year and the lady wanted me to scan in my drivers license and shite. I backed off. Thought it was weird.

Bovada is arguably the worst book in the biz. The lines are inflated and normally come out midweek. 5Dimes offers the earliest lines (normally Sunday afternoon allowing you to lock in those key numbers) and reduced juice. Pull your deposit out and funnel it into 5D's. You won't regret it. Seriously, Bovada sucks.

Can't speak for all but have signed up for a few that require that if you want to withdraw.

Yea that's fairly normal

Lot of times they'll make depositing really easy but make you document a lot of things for withdrawals

That of course is by design

And I'll say this bc I try to in every gambling thread we have on here: NEVER TAKE THE SIGN UP BONUSES

unless you are really good at reading the fine print bc they almost always have a backdoor bs way of fricking you with those

The lines are my biggest beef. For a game on Saturday the line doesn't come out until Thursday afternoon. And it's usually less favorable than the earlier lines from other books since it comes out later.
