So, you picked the Chicago Cubs to the MLB World Series?
Or maybe you’re rolling with an Alabama Crimson Tide winning streak in NCAA football and want to take some of your winnings off the table?
Whatever the case, when you’ve finally made some profit at your online sportsbook, payout fees can cut into your winnings. You want to minimize the payout fees, and get your money as quickly as possible. For players in the United States, the two best options are Bitcoin and Checks.
Listed below are the top US-friendly online sportsbooks, along with the fees for using Bitcoin and Checks as a payout method.

If you’d like to show off your online backgammon skills — and put your money where your mouth is — then GameColony is the place for you. Throughout the day, GameColony offers various types of online backgammon games with real cash prizes. They offer both single and double elimination tournaments, played to various point levels. But your real money maker is playing heads up against other players. There are usually more than one hundred players in the Main Hall, waiting to play online backgammon for real cash.
The way it works is that you purchase tickets via PayPal, use the tickets to enter tournaments in which you can win more tickets, and then cash out your tickets as cash via PayPal.
If you go to GameColony through a link in this blog, you’ll get $10 FREE to start.
If online backgammon isn’t your game, they have all kinds of other skill-based and arcade-style games that you can also play for cash and prizes. I’ll be highlighting some of the additional games in the coming days and weeks.
GameColony accepts players from most states. Players from the following states are barred from play at GameColony: AZ AR DE FL IA IL KY LA MD MO NY SC NV OH WA VT.
If you think that you’re better than most players at skill games like checkers, chess, backgammon, gin, cribbage, dominoes, canasta, and solitaire games, I have a great site for you. GameColony hosts both free and cash skill game tournaments, and players from 35 US States are eligible to play. (Players are barred from: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, South Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Washington and Vermont.).
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up for an account at GameColony — it took me about a minute, since all you need to provide is your choice of a screen name and password, and your birth year.
- Use the free-play option to check out the games that they have to offer. You’ll want to get familiar with the games and the rules before you play for cash.
- Fund your account using PayPal or a credit card for as little as $5.95. You get $Tickets in exchange for your deposit.
- 5 $Tickets for — $5.95
- 10 $Tickets for — $10.95
- 25 $Tickets for — $26.95
- 50 $Tickets for — $51.95
- 100 $Tickets for — $103.95
- Play the games either head-to-head or in multi-person tourneys for $Tickets. Approximately 85% of the $Ticket entry fees are returned to the winners.
- Any time that you have more than 2 $Tickets, you can convert them back to cash and make a withdrawal back to your PayPal or credit card. Withdrawals in excess of your original deposit are sent to you as a check.
Good luck at the games!
