Thank you very much for the warning. I've always used VPN before.
There are a few things you need to consider when using VPN.

First of all, does the platform allow its users to use VPN? Some casinos allow it, but most don't. Here, you will have to talk with their customer support or read their TOS and other documentation to find out. If you are allowed to use VPN, there is another possible problem. If you use a free VPN service or one that has a huge amount of users, but with limited servers, it might look like you are using multiple accounts. 5 people using the same IP on a casino can look like it's the same player using multiple accounts. Since multi-accounting is not allowed, you could be subjected to KYC or have your accounts blocked.

The second thing to consider is why are you using VPN in the first place. Is it to stay anonymous and protect your privacy, or as a workaround for the geographical restrictions to gain access to the casino? Most people use VPN for the latter.  

the complaints that sportbettors are accused for having a multiple account is a possible fault of free version of a vpn and not thier selves because some of them dont look guilty .

 this is a warning for the sportbettors that dont have a knowledge about vpn's  .

 paying a small fee for premium wont not help thier selve's to avoid issues later on but it also helps the developer of the vpn because you are supporting thier works .

I'm based in USA and have a passion for sportsbetting, but like most here prefer to gamble with my btc than bank accounts.    Sportsbet has been my goto and I access via VPN, but i'm always worried a KYC will get me eventually and I'll lose some of my funds.

Any recommendations for a USA based (or USA accepted) sportsbook?
I dont think you have to look too far when it comes to Sportsbooks in the US. I would advise you to not use VPN as a workaround to country restrictions because it could potentially lead to problems like you've mentioned, KYC and confiscation of funds is possible.  Bovada which in itself is a premier sportsbook when it comes to USA, also accepts Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash.  Bookmaker is another trusted name that accepts crypto. Doesnt Betcoin.ag also have license to operate in the US? They have bitcointalk presence as well, so might as well ping them and ask the same.

The demand for BTC for betting in the United States is much higher yet the American people group still has a few options including a few store clubs for USA players which clearly caters to this particular region of the world. Due to the use of product steps legal issues were completely resolved enabling American monitors to find some fantastic opening machines, which is certainly an incredible option for anyone who likes to play gambling club games on the web. Access to sports books is much easier.

I guess all you can do now is just stick with what you are doing, there's no USA sportsbook in crypto since in the first place it's illegal, just like other crypto sportsbook who doesn't accept gamblers from USA. Good for you actually that you can still enjoy gambling using VPN, but there's a risk that you will take,I suggest you spread your bets in different gambling sites, that would help you minimize the risk.

In my own country sports betting is been funded directly from my bank account. Btc has not been fully recognized and has limited usuage. I also wished Btc or other coins were used so that funding of sporting wallet could be more fun. Regarding the value of Btc I would rather prefer to earn my bet winnings via Btc. All through my years of betting I haven't experienced more advanced betting like making use of crypto currencies  both to fund and to withdraw from my wallet. I seek for any recommendations on a more advanced betting site where I can fund my wallet with Btc or anyother cryptocurrency.

First of all, you won't find any USA based crypto sportsbook cause such thing doesn't exist. Secondly, it will be better for you to use high quality VPN service with dedicated and unique IP address to get rid of account lock/freeze because of shared IPs. As always, there are chances that sportsbooks may ask you for KYC documents and since you won't be able to provide it because you are from USA and will be meaningless, they'll catch you in this part and your account will be frozen and funds - lost. Btw you can risk and play with only small amount of money to not make doubts and get the pleasure that you gain by doing bets on sports.

Btw idk if there are sportsbooks that accept players from USA but again, if there are any and someone suggest any of them, always check the trust profile of their representatives on bitcointalk and also always look for scam accusation threads (if available), what caused the problem, how it was solved and others.

It will be good if you will avoid using VPN especially if you are planning to bet a huge amount as they can easily freeze your account if they found out that you are doing that is against in their terms and agreements.

You can try Bovada, BetOnline, GTBets, SportsBetting and Youwager but make sure that you will do your own research first if they are good enough for you as I haven't tried them yet.

I got this list from an article posted to Playusa.com. From the article I found there is restrictions on gambling, but the control is in the hands of the State authority. The list details the legality of gambling on different States of America.

Today many platforms allow you to play or bet without the need for KYC, usually some of these platforms can be: stake.com, roobet, they are the bookmakers that I can recommend because they are very authentic and responsible. Most bookmakers know the problem with KYC, which is why they prefer this type of mechanism to keep their customers.

if you're into betting, TRY KittieFIGHT, it is under Ethereum Blockchain though but it's good. Try looking for it and you'll get to see the many ways to earn KTY while you play your game. It is DEFI lending backed w/ 20%-70%  rolling compounding interest for Lenders.

Interesting, it's my first time to hear about this site. Will it be adding sports betting soon?

Agree. better to not use VPN at all and try to evade the law or the sportsbook's terms. Reading the terms and conditions does go a long way but sadly many don't bother reading them

I agree with you. The most important thing is the terms and conditions  it is very important for any user to read carefully. But the reality is that most users do not pay attention to read the terms and conditions before creating an account and click agree without reading. Later, if there is any problem in the account, the owner of the website takes the opportunity with the help of terms and conditions. So If a website is strict for a country, then it is very dangerous to take access from that country in any other way than legal way.

No casino or sportsbook with a Curacao license can take players living inside countries that are forbidden by the Curacao eGaming board. I have spoken to a casino support rep before about this and they said that their restricted countries are the ones decided by Curacao. The US is one of them.

So as soon as one of these casinos ask you for KYC, it's game over as they can infer from the documents you give them that you are living in the US so they'll close your account.

So, I think your best option is to get a VPN and join any site with an IP from another country. That way it would be legal for you to place bets and to be able to withdraw.
This could prove detrimental sometimes based on what I have observed. Certain sites prohibit the usage of VPN's, proxies etc which is usually a part of their T&C. If they discover someone using a VPN, they immediately ban the player.

I know several gamblers who got screwed due to illegal usage of VPN's and they lost their funds since they were in the wrong.

This is why gamblers should always check whether they can use VPN's or not by contacting their customer care etc and then proceed to place bets if there is no issue.

USA has a problem with gambling, and more with crypto gambling online. Their laws don't allow that kind of use for cryptos. So, I think your best option is to get a VPN and join any site with an IP from another country. That way it would be legal for you to place bets and to be able to withdraw.

Using VPN can get tricky in the long run as some sportsbooks and casinos might detect that you're accessing their site from a restricted country. You can try Bovada as it's known to accept players from the US. But expect the KYC process as this is required. If you want a crypto-only sportsbook, then you might want to check out FortuneJack. To be sure, contact their support to see if their sportsbook accepts players from the US.

Most of the books are actually very popular around the world though they are primarily FIAT only and they accept crypto as a payment method. Majority of these sites require KYC initially.

Most of the sportsbook using crypto as primary options on deposit banned USA citizens on their site but there are few of them accept them, I found this site by searching it on google and if anyone would try to bet on the site recommended on the list please take extra precaution since I never tried this only see them via random searching.

I think it doesn't matter. In Betcoin.ag rules it's clearly written that they don't accept players from USA, so, your friends break their rules and they are risking to get their account closed.
As far as I know, Betcoin usually has no issues with USA players which is why I recommended it though he can always sign up on the popular FIAT sites which I recommended earlier if he is still hesitant in this case.

I have checked your list and almost all sportsbooks, except Bovada isn't known for me. I'm not sure, is it good idea to play in not well known sportsbook without solid reputation. Before joining it, I advice OP to make research about it.

I remember Bitcoinrush was one of the only ones that used to allow US players,,, used to have an account there but recently they seem to have gone offline and luckily all my balances were taken out just before that. Shame about that but I guess now US online gambling is going to be hard to do without proper license.

Thanks,  I should have specified that it doesn't have to be a usa based sportsbook, but one that openly accepts usa players.   appreciate the comment.

Well, if that's the case, then there are no listed nor existing online sportsbook that are exclusive for USA players only. The reasons are fairly simple and obvious, would they earn if they would implement a sportsbook website based in USA and exclusive on USA players only - despite the strict gambling and business regulations in the states? Take note that most sportsbook website only earn through ads and ads are most likely from other countries across the world, and in fact, most of those adds (specifically related to either sports, crypto, or money) aren't always based on USA. Hence, you wouldn't find one.

Anyone who has lost crypto that they had parked on an Exchange will tell you that you should only leave enough funds on their site as you need for day-to-day trading.  If you want to make a large investment (or, in the case of a Casino a wager), then top up your funds and then after the trade/wager remove your winnings to limit exposure to a no withdraw situation.

It all depends in what state you live.
For example New York is very restrictive for all kind of crypto and betting related websites.
I am not 100% sure but you can check out betonline.ag website.
They accept Bitcoin and people from United States.

Crypto based sportsbook are given access worldwide. If there is restrictions on the usage from specific country, then it could've been mentioned on the website itself. I haven't come across any such notification from any of the gambling site with cryptocurrency acceptance.

I've come across exchanges and new ICO projects stating the people from specific countries not to participate or use it, as their country regulations doesn't support the services offered.

Based on my research, majority of the sportsbooks that allow customers from the USA are popular ones that offer both FIAT and crypto as payment options, but require KYC which goes against what you are looking for.

Betcoin.ag is what you are looking for op. They accept customers from the USA and don't require KYC. They might require KYC if they suspect something though which is written in their KYC just like other crypto casino sites.

KYC doesn't necessarily mean that you will lose your funds or anything. If you are willing to compromise in this aspect, you will have way more options to choose from.

Currently this site is doing good for all with crypto and fiat both options and accepting all customers hopefully this will works for you as well.

Edit: I just read only 11 USA states allowing sports betting so please check is this available for you as well or just use crypto otherwise your account can create problems.
