Bookie isn’t paying

Any of them will do. FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, PointsBet, WilliamHill, FOXBet, etc. are far safer than any unregulated bookie. People will complain about some sites not allowing them to withdraw large winnings, but theres likely more to the story than whats revealed.

I used to work in the industry and these companies are like the US Government during the pandemic, they just print money. They dont care about a $1,000 or $50,000 win from a client cos its honestly insignificant. They are more worried about reputational damage because at the end of the day theyre all in a race to conquer market share, and if you report any shady practices like refusing to allow withdrawals on legitimate winnings, that would severely smear the organisation's brand. Basically they would rather let you walk away with the funds than deal with majority of these disputes.

Now there are times when withdrawals arent processed intentionally and thats more to do with money laundering/corruption, which is a large fkn problem in the industry. And another reason is some folks cant take a loss well, maybe gambled too much or whatever, and they will take their rage to social media claiming "foul play". Maybe there are some true wrongly-done stories out there, but i had never seen one.
