Instant Check/eCheck Deposit Sportsbooks
Written February 19, 2009 by Jack Jones
One of the reasons I used to love Bodog was the ease with which I could deposit into that sportsbook with my checking account. However, due to the increased scrutiny gambling transactions have come under, they no longer offer instant check transfers are a deposit option. Not to fear though as I’ve done my homework and found a couple of others that are currently allowing ACH deposits so you can quickly get your money in and start betting today.
1. Sports Interaction – This sportsbook was one of the first to be licensed in North America and have been around for a long time. I’ve personally tested out the echeck option and my funds were credited to my account immediately. I also love the unique line set that Sports Interaction offers because you can get an extra half point or full point on games you like just by shopping around and having this book as one of your options. Also, you can post your own opinions and picks as you bet, which is a unique feature I haven’t found anywhere else. When I was ready to make a withdrawal I tried out both the instant check transfer and by wiring money into my account, each time my funds were quick to show up on my bank statement. Call the deposit advisor at 1-866-671-0676 and tell them you want the BetFirms Match Bonus to get some extra money in your account (ex, $25 gets you $25 in free money).
2. BetJamaica – A great book that I have been recommending for years, even if they have kind of a funny name. This site is managed by the same book who manages the Greek and they have as solid of a reputation as they come in the industry. If you deposit into BetJamaica’s sportsbook using eCheck you get a 20% signup bonus. Another great plus about BetJamaica is that they have some of the fastest payouts in the industry. A cashier’s check arrived at my door TWO DAYS after I requested it! Plus, if you bet on baseball then the dime lines here are a must.
3. 5 Dimes – I know that some of you have already heard me recommend 5 Dimes because of their reduced juice wagering, but they also are a sportsbook that allows you to deposit with your checking account. There is a catch here though as you can’t make echeck transactions until your previous deposit has cleared, and you have to make your first transaction via moneygram or Western Union. I’m not sure why they have that requirement but they do. No special bonuses here, but a great book nonetheless.
For more checking options take a look at the debit card sportsbooks we have reviewed.
Are there any other books out there that offer instant check transfers? If so let me hear about them in the comments and I’ll get my listed updated after I give it a test run.
