Sportbook FAQs Contined

• How do I place a bet? So easily. Choose your sport from the main menu, and you’ll see a list of the upcoming events in that sport. From there, you’ll either see all of the available wagers right away, or in some cases just the basic bets for each event (in which case you may have to click on the event title to get the full range of available wagers). Either way, you’re sorted — the wager will be on your betslip, ready for checkout!

• What payment methods do you accept? I accept anything, even barter and kisses. However, most online gambling sites can be much more picky, especially concerning players from the US. While some sites are fine with any major credit card (a list that includes majors like Visa as well as ‘semi-majors’ such as JCB and Diners Club), some are restricted to pre-paid cards and e-wallets (the preferred choice for many). Definitely square away your options with the options offered by your potential sites.

• Wait, what’s an e-wallet? Basically, it’s like a pre-paid online account with specific security and convenience features geared toward easy, safe, private, and dependable online transactions. PayPal is the most well-known, but companies such as NETeller and ClickAndBuy are more likely to be accepted at online gambling sites, whether poker, sportsbooks, online casino USA, or whatever.

• What if I make a mistake? Well, the usual rule is “all bets are final”. However, one of the nice things about online sportsbooks is that you get two chances to confirm your bet — when you first select it from the list, and again when you ‘check out’ or finalize your virtual betting slip (and some online sportsbooks even have another level of confirmation, which annoys some people but comes in handy when you finally catch that silly mistake that you’d made while you were distracted by the cool online slots).

• How long after I win do I get my money? There’s only two things that you have to wait for: 1) ‘grading the bet’ (usually obvious with the final score of the game, but sometimes it takes up to 24 hours before all the information comes in); and 2) requesting/ processing your withdrawal (you don’t necessarily have to win to do this, as long as there’s money in your account!)
