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?
