Any information, please.

[AussieVamp2]

alec, there are a couple of posts in the archives if you do a search - Shawn had an account

basically, they are in no way legal
and cater pretty much soley to the Asian market with limited hours, offers, and go off on holidays

AussieVamp2,
Thanks. I will try to find something in archives.
If you know, do they offer only soccer and only Asian lines? How many leagues?

[AussieVamp2]

yeah, Asian soccer lines only

what I saw, Premier League, Serie A

Champion's League, the odd cup thing, that sort of thing

they have an egroups mailing list you can look at too now

[Cons]

There are several places taking Asian lines now, so JPhan isn't a necessity. Also, all they do is Asian lines and nothing else, so that's not good either.

And they close all bet offers one hour before the game starts. Also, bet offers aren't available 24h, so that is bad as well.

[AussieVamp2]

yeah, they are basically an illegal Asian bookmaker in the USA

so not going to work 24 hours, or any of that stuff........

[AussieVamp2]

and if their office is actually in the USA - pretty funny that the Feds will chase people in Antigua, but not notice them

[Cons]

I think the whole idea is that the US gov't doesn't like the idea of so much money leaving the country.

With JPhan, the money isn't going anywhere. It's staying at home in the US.

So you're right, they would rather chase legal BMs abroad than illegal BMs within the US.

J.Phan's office in the USA is only a maildrop. All the money is handled elsewhere.

[AussieVamp2]

maildrop? what is this, James Bond?

so where are the phones/servers etc.?

[Cons]

I really like to place my bets a few minutes before kickoff, so taking the games off the board 1h before the start is something I cannot handle.

[AussieVamp2]

yeah, often running late or whatever, great if you are a bookie that deal....

obviously not something people dealing with legal bookies would tolerate

although I guess with a 10c line?

[AYCE]

Shawn is right and btw they don't need much publicity.

Or maybe I should say, they don't want much publicity.

[AussieVamp2]

both, probably, Ray
