Online Sportsbooks and Poker Rooms That Accept the Euro

Obviously, most of the online poker rooms and sports betting sites operating from Europe or for the European gambling will accept the Euro but there are plenty of Caribbean based (and mostly North American facing) operations that could embrace the European market better by accepting the Euro.

Somewhat new to the Euro are Bookmaker.com and Bodog Life. The former takes on numerous other currencies including the Danish Krone, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar. Bodog Life now accepts British pounds.

Sportingbet takes most currencies under the sun. They just won't take US customers unfortunately.

Bet365 and Chili Poker accept Euros. But once again, no US customers.

The US Dollar is losing so much ground against the Euro that some online gambling operators are suggesting their US customers open offshore bank accounts, whether it be to gamble or for other means.

The dollar dropped the most against the euro in more than two years as traders increased bets the Federal Reserve will cut borrowing costs further to avoid a recession while the European Central Bank holds rates steady.

The currency came within a cent of the all-time low this week before a Labor Department report on April 4 forecast to show U.S. employers cut jobs for a third straight month. The pound declined to a record versus the euro as March consumer confidence in the U.K. slumped to a 15-year low.

``Numbers from the U.S. show the economy is worse than most people expected, while numbers from Europe have been better than expected,'' said Tom Fitzpatrick, global head of currency strategy in New York at Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the world's third-biggest currency trader. ``The decline in the dollar has very good momentum.''

The dollar fell 2.4 percent to $1.5796 per euro yesterday, from $1.5431 on March 21. It's the biggest decline since January 2006. The dollar traded at 99.23 yen, compared with 99.58 on March 21. Japan's currency traded at 156.79 per euro, compared with 157.21.
