I'm hesitant to involve coinbase since they've cut off gambling transactions. I agree that an exchange is better for me, i just don't know enough about this to trust a person to person exchange (even if that person has high reviews)

If you buy the bitcoin through Coinbase, but move them to blockchain, then it has nothing to do with Coinbase anymore what you do with your bitcoin. I wouldn't use your Coinbase account to gamble, but you don't plan to do that anyway

You can try localbitcoins or there is maybe a bitcoin ATM in your neighborhood.

Hi Everyone – I’m a newbie and have been reading up on BitCoin over the last 8 hours. I’m a US person and plan to use BitCoin for gambling.

I was originally going to sign up for coinbase, but there are reports of them blocking gambling transactions. Because of that, I signed up for blockchain.info.

It appears I cannot actually buy bitcoins from blockchain.info, so I clicked through their “partner” btc.sx

I created an account, then realized I couldn’t buy BitCoins there as they state “To use BTC.sx, deposits must be made in Bitcoin. “

So how do I actually buy Bitcoins and get them into blockchain.info? I don’t have a desire for a face to face transaction, so I would like to pay using a US bank account. Would I buy them at Cirlce, then transfer them to blockchain.info?

Of your options, I would buy through circle and transfer to blockchain. Buying from a person needs a little bit of orangization and trust, I personally prefer exchanges.

Can you not buy from Coinbase? They are an official US exchange now, with VC money behind them, they should be safe as houses.

try to buy here on the forum, chose only trusted member, better to go safe and deal with high rank member(don't look at me i'm not selling) Grin

or just use localbitcoins; kraken also is a good option, since it does not require any document for small amount( up to $2k a day)

U can buy it wherever u like and the transfer to a blockchain wallet or to a diferent wallet. Every transfer will cost u about 2 or 3 cents of dollar.

U could buy at bit-x at bitstamp at localbitcoin, to a member of this forum... Many ways to do it.
Let me know if u need some help.
My english is a bit Poor but there are many members willing to help u.
Regards.
