One of the most satisfying things about betting offline, is the speed at which the money is in your hands and available to spend. It does not matter whether you win a bet placed at a bookmakers, or have an excellent run at the blackjack tables, those winnings are ready and waiting to buy your friends a celebratory beer on the way home. Even the cheapest champagne or perhaps the most watered down beer tastes good when it has been bought with money which has been won.

This is among the issues with online gambling. If you have a sizable win at an online casino it may take days to actually see the money, putting your celebrations on hold.

So what about online bookmakers who also have an offline presence? Specifically I am discussing the big UK high street brand names for example William Hill and Ladbrokes. Having identified a gap within the market, these brands permit you to play online, but then receive the money immediately through their betting shops.

Rather than withdrawing your hard earned money to a debit card, e-wallet or checking account you can print out a cash voucher to take to the local bookies which they scan and hand over the cash. The reverse is additionally true — if you want to deposit funds into your favourite poker room you can make a «cash deposit» at a branch. You then obtain a code to enter into your quality online gambling site account as well as the funds are made instantly available.

Now before the more morally challenged amongst you choose to go and register a bunch of accounts in fake names to make use of the bonuses, or play through multiple accounts in a poker room you should know that this kind of payment method still requires identification. Your account may need to be verified, and then for some bookmakers you will need photo ID to collect your money. But for the legitimate punters around you now have the convenience of playing online along with the immediacy of playing offline.

These types of bookmaker have a tendency to offer multiple products — usually at least 3 of the key 4: sports betting, online casino, poker and bingo. Some provide unique niche mini-sites for example for skill games or pub style slots. As these sites also have a tendency to have a «one wallet» accounting system, it implies that regardless of what your game, you can get your hard earned money in cash, right away.
