Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

Here is my list of demands for sports betting site listed from most important to less important:
Reliable
ETH deposits/withdrawals
Possible betting on European sports. Most importantly soccer.
No need for kyc
Fast Withdrawals

Is something out there that ticks all the boxes? I like nitrogen sports but the don't allow for ETH deposits/withdrawal.

Why do you only want ETH deposits/withdrawals ? Just exchange your ETH for BTC and choose from various bookies. Betcoin.ag accepts ETH afaik, but they are not reliable.

Because I want to keep my btc and have some extra ETH I would like to use to gamble. The point is on much smaller transaction fees when using ETH and if I would have to change them to BTC so I basically pay a small fortune for transactions. First transaction to exchange. Then exchange to betting site and then again when I want to withdraw.

Ok, I understand. When choosing a bookie, for me reliability is the most important thing, even more important than the odds. So I would gladly take the detour, if I know my funds are safe and I don't get scammed. There are a lot of good/reliable BTC-Bookies out there, so maybe think twice about it ;)

That's the good thing in ETH it has lower fees but there are only few sports book that are accepting ETH for their bets and as tykiwanuka mentioned that's so far the only site I know for ETH withdrawals. Why not just depend on bitcoin as it's always been recommended and well known so you don't have to look for those ETH withdrawing sports book and nitrogensports is one of them since you have an experience with it.

nitrogensports is good sport betting, but not support ETH
before directbet close, directbet the best sport betting and support much coin include ETH

WBet7 (http://WBet7.com) is a sportsbook that accepts ethereum but I cant say that they're reliable because I don't use ethereum when I gamble. They also seem to have no kyc when registering they only require your email. If you want to risk your eth with them I suggest to use a small amount first before going in the whole way.

I feel it is a more safe way to gamble only on trusted gambling sites instead of going to the sites who accept particular currency type. So if you can't find a trusted site who accepts ETH then don't risk to play on new gambling sites with ETH. I never played sports betting with ETH but always prefer to play with bitcoins.

the only gambling site that i knew that accept eth is betcoinag maybe you can try it by yourself if you really wants to bet using your eth, you can start with small amount of eth then observed if the site is paying  or exchange your eth to btc every time you feels to gamble then exchange it back to eth after when you are finished playing.

That's the first time I have read that wbet7.com still better to stick with some casino that are reliable and has been running for years. But it's not that bad to give it a try and definitely a small amount of ETH is good. I checked the casino and they are only accepting perfect money and ETH so they are not into bitcoin. Anyway they are covering a lot of sports and as well as local matches too.

Thanks for all your replies. I will give a try to WBet7 with small amount. Otherwise I'll just have to reorganize my portfolio to allow for BTC betting.

And once you are done, tell us your experience there if they are quite good or some place that we can consider for ETH sports betting. If you will be failing there for sure you'll just have to get back and organize yourself and still stay with bitcoin betting. Still wishing you a good luck with it, don't forget to get back on this thread.

We used to have directbet where we can bet with ETH anonymously in any matches but they are already closed so there is no any alternative right now. However you can use shapeshift or changelly like quick exchanger to send ETH and get it deposited in the form of bitcoin on bitcoin sportsbook where you can bet anonymously like nitrogensports.eu

So far my experience with WBet7 is positive. I deposited 0.6 ETH yesterday morning, played a few tickets and with little bit of luck and knowledge managed to end the day with almost 2 ETH. I immediately withdrew 1.2 ETH to test and everything was ok. Transactions are instantaneous from their side, limited with 2 confirmations from ETH blockchain. You must withdraw your money to same wallet used when depositing which is ok by me. A little extra security.

I noticed small glitch this morning. I was placing a bet on goals in European League and in the middle of making the ticket all lines except money lines went missing. 2 hours later everything was back again. I would like a little bit more betting options on tennis matches (over, under, handicaps etc.) but otherwise they seem to pass all my requirements from OP. Will continue to use them and report back my experience in a week or so.

Almost all bitcoin gambling does not require verification, no matter you like betting on casinos, sports, dice games, etc. but if you want to bet on sports betting using bitcoin, I think you can try nitrogensports. they have pretty good service and also they have a lot of sports betting options, it's just that they do not accept any payment other than bitcoin, for eth you can try betting on directbet but I do not know they still operate or not.

Congratulations on your winnings :) I still think, you should consider betting with Bitcoin and I will give you an example why.

Lets look at the over/under at wbet7 for tonights NBA game Raptors vs Bulls. Line is 207 with equal odds for over and under of 1.81. This is just a very bad payout of about 91%. But since you want to bet with Ethereum, you are stuck with this bookmaker and his shitty odds.
If you now use Bitcoin instead, you can get the same bet with odds of 1.95 (or more), which is a huge difference. Imagine you place a bet of 100,- Euro (or whatever your currency is), you will win 14,- Euro more, than you win with wbet7. From these 14,- Euro you can easily pay the transaction costs you mentioned earlier.

You are literally giving away a lot of money just by only wanting to use ETH.

It is good point. I understand all about fair odds, I am new in crypto betting but I have a long career on traditional sites (finished last 10 years with modest profit from betting with 10% tax included) . Wbet7 has rather shitty odds. My favorite site for fiat serious bets is pinnacle sports. Which site has those odds you mentioned? I am especially interested if it is also offering tennis handicaps in their book. Tennis and soccer are my main sports. Never gotten into basketball unfortunately, I know quite a few people making good money on it(at least claiming).

With KYC (I think at least):

I think 5dimes will suit your style then. You can also take a look into betonline.ag and BetDSI, those are very reliable.

Without KYC:

1xbit (be a little careful here) and sportsbet.io and cloudbet.
You can also use an agent to open accounts with Pinnacle, SBO and other asian bookmakers or use their trading platforms like Mollybet, where you have all those bookies in one tool and place your bet directly in that tool. There are agents out there, that don't need KYC and you can fund your account(s) with Bitcoin.

This site has a sportsbook and seems to support bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, bcc, dash and ripple with no kyc.

https://www.betcoin.ag

There is also this site which supports eth. Looks like they're for sale / shutting down.

http://eth.csgobets.org

Can't vouch for either of those places being reliable, have zero experience with eth books.

Well betcoin has been around for quite a long time compared to some of the other sports betting sites, i have never had an issue with withdrawing or playing there. If I had to suggest one for your particular preferences, I think that betcoin it's probably the best option available.

Betcoin is one of the oldest sports betting and casino games for a long time but i always thinking about what happen before when someone hit and win their free games before they are change the rules and they only pay half of winning bitcoin..  And then no other issue that i heard from them..
Since i am gamble there sometimes this is my own review that i still not experience bad issues when using betcoin games. .

They still have a bad history of scamming a player by not paying them. That's a problem gamblers should not overlook. They will never be able to clean up their name because the problem was with them and nothing outside of their control. Maybe you have a good review because you did not win something big but if you did and didn't get paid, then likely your review would be far different.

For bitcoin deposit and withdraw, i had better experience with Intertops, they are very reliable, using them last 2 years without any problem, only downside is they process payment only twice per week, Monday and Friday.

Use nitrogen sports. They're dependable and have a good reputation and some times they give chances to win free bitcoin.

That's awesome to hear that you're having a good experience with their sportsbook.

The best odds i've experienced here is from fairlay. They're a betting exchange so they offer every tennis lines afaik.

Odds comparison for these three wbet,nitrogen,fairlay (Moneylines of Fognini vs Dimitrov)

Fairlay will take some time to get used to :) It is not the place I would recommend for any newbie. I needed good 10 minutes to place first bet and I have used betfair(something similar for fiat currencies) before.

I'll continue playing with WBet7 until my good run ends. I have a habit of withdrawing winnings and leaving initial deposit to play next day. Afterwards I will switch to BTC betting. And give a solid tryout to Nitrogensports and Fairlay. Betcoin.ag are updating theirs sports section last few days so I couldn't even check it.

The one sports betting site that immediately comes to my mins is Betcoin.ag. They accept Ethereum deposits, No need for KYC and you can bet on European sports. The only problem with Betcoin.ag is there was an accusation that was opened for not paying a player. Its a long story but after that was posted their reputation went down so that's an X mark in reliable part. Fast Withdrawals? Somewhat Yes but there are times it will take withdrawals 24 hours. You can take a look at their old signature campaign thread and see the feedback of their participants.

@Trofo

Why are you averse to doing KYC ? I think it's no problem with serious bookmakers. I'd rather play with a well established, reliable bookmaker, than playing with these anonymous BTC bookmakers, so just curios.

I have never do sports betting yet. If I will do I guess as suggested above I want to try betcoin. What is betcoin by the way? How is it related to bitcoin? How does it goes? I just want to add my query in this pool to give me ideas about sports betting.

Our platform has all that you ask for. I''m sure that you will be impressed with the amount of sport that we offer.  We accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash and Ethereum.  We are running an ICO at the moment so the bet sizes are restricted until the close of the pre-sale as we dont have the time to properly serve our customers during the token sale.  We plan to be in full swing within the next 4 weeks.

Have a look at www.mbet.io 

I am probably being too careful maybe even paranoid. I live in county where we have big taxes on betting. They take 5% from every stake and 10% from every win under 150$, After that it gets worse (up to 30%). It is illegal to use other online betting places but a lot of people is doing it without any problems. I just don't want to be the first one with the problems.

I have a habit of taking my wins at the end of each day so I don't have so much money riding at any time so I am fine with reasonably established, reliable bookmaker. Furthermore if they have your name they can easily ban you for using their site after you start taking serious money from them. Or restrict your wagers.

Betting via an agent might be a good solution for you then. I am betting nearly exclusively via agent accounts and never had any problems. You don't have to share your details with the bookmaker then, with some agents you don't even need to share your details with them. This agent betting has grown into a big business the last years.

First time hearing this, not sure why would you even want to hire an agent for this but maybe it's your own prerogative. But to be honest, since most bitcoin gambling sites do not even require ID or a KYC policy, then I don't see the reason why you have to get an agent. I've been betting on sports on bitcoin sportsbooks the past couple of years and never had problems.

Most Bitcoin-only bookmakers have shitty odds. Then you have bookmakers where you can deposit/withdraw with Bitcoin and have good odds, but you have to do KYC (Trofo don't wants/likes KYC). Via an agent you can have it all: Most competitive odds on the market (1,98/1,98) with high limits, no KYC and Bitcoin deposit/withdrawal.

For me personally I am not able to bet with a lot of bookmakers, because of georestrictions. But via an agent I can bet with all these bookmakers/exchanges like Pinnacle, SBO, Maxbet, Singbet, BetISN, Betfair etc. Agent-Betting sounds a bit shady, I admit that, but the agents are making tons of money, so there is no need to scam there customers. In Asia, where the big betting money is, betting via an agent is just a normal modus operandi. I've never heard of someone getting scammed who played by the rules.
And it's really easy, you play directly f.e. on the Pinnacle website and only you can access your account. You deposit/withdraw via the agent and the agent charges some fee for that (they can earn some more money with you, but YOU only pay these deposit/withdrawal fees)

sportsbet.io is one of the sports betting sites.
all soccer betting especially europe is there.
deposits and withdrawals can be done instantly.
but the problem for you, because they do not accept ETH.
only the bitcoin they receive.
but my suggestion for you to exchange the ETH you have to bet on sportsbet.io using bitcoin

After some time betcoin.ag sports betting is up and running again. They had some maintenance, they made some upgrades all in all everything runs smoothly and I already tested it couple times. Betcoin.ag accepts eth among some other alts, for any questions you have support, you will get some loyalty point for your activity there.
Come and try, registration is easy you don't need anything except valid mail and wallet address for withdrawing you winnings. Good luck my friend, see you on betcoin.ag.

Would you not be aswell to convert eth to btc and gamble that. I haven't seen many that do eth but that's probably because I use btc instead.

It's because he love the fast transaction and lower fees in ETH so he's asking for that demand about ETH deposits and withdrawal. There are few ETH based gambling sites since ETH is just used for trading and they don't really want to use it as their main cryptocurrency for gambling.

I agree with you mate, they have a fast transactions for deposits and withdrawals and there is no fee for withdrawal that's why I like to bet on that site. Unfortunately they don't accept ETH so we have no choice but to only bet with bitcoin, I hope in the future they will consider accepting altcoins as it's more cheaper when it comes to transaction fees.

But converting ETH to BTC will cost so much in fees if you will use usual exchangers like shapeshift and changelly.

Found that there is pretty new sportsbook which is conducting ICO but at the same time have working platform that accepts ETH deposits and allow you to bet with ETH. https://mbet.io/Account/Banking

I have account there but haven't tried them with some real coin.

My trust for wbet7 has just gone up a notch. I needed to take a quick bet yesterday so I went back to them because they accept ETH and I needed money on account in less then 5 minutes. When you make ETH deposit at their site you have to announce the amount and then you receive deposit address. After I sent transaction from myetherwallet it reported transaction failed and I immediately sent another one in slightly different amount. I was in a hurry and just clicked. I soon realized that first transaction went trough and that I send the second one without announcement.. You receive different deposit address every time.

Anyway I contacted them on Email and received amount form second tx in my account few hours later and they even apologized for time delay.

I do not know if there is sports betting site can used eth for betting, much better to echange that into btc and lots of gambling/sports betting site accepting bitcoin with fast deposit and withdrawals. Also they are more proven and tested site that is why i recommwnd to used bitcoin than ethereum in sports betting site.

I like directbet because the site is fast response and did not require account registration so I can use it everywhere and anytime
Well after directbet stop their operation, I think there are no website like them anymore or I'm mistaken if there is any site like it ?
Kindly give me the site if possible

Well eth is quite widely used already though it isn't as popular as bitcoin. Though personally i wouldn't mind if a gambling site doesn't suppport etherium. I think betcoin already accepts etc even lite and ripple.

You are full member and you still don't know that there are tens of trusted sportsbook that accept bitcoin as deposit and withdraw method  :o

If you really don't know about them than few of them are ;
1. Nitrogensports.eu
2. Sportsbet.io
3. Mbet.io

I do agree with you, i guess it;s due to the volatility of bitcoin value, so most of the betting sites allow to bet on USD, but when you withdraw, can convert to BTC. Pretty much all sportsbook follow this path. 

Do you mind searching on google for sports betting site that accepts bitcoin as payment or checks the suggested here of other users, There are a lot of sports betting site online that accepts bitcoin, Example is onehash, cloudbet, nitrogensports and much more if you do research. Bitcoin price volatility is not an issue for a Casino since they will pay their participants in bitcoin currency too.

My recommendations are Nitrogensports.eu and cloudbet, most of them are using bitcoin to bet. Just convert your ETH into BTC and deposit it into the gambling site. Both Nitrogen and Cloudbet are good, the different is cloudbet has more live games that nitrogensports. Both also no need kyc.

It is good that you use btc for the sake of gambling. I can’t state that you are at the wrong side just because it is totally dependent upon the choice of the gambler that which currency would he use for the sake of betting when it comes to the sport side.

Actually, my personal opinion is that one must never take a risk of using such a valuable asset just for the sake of trying his educated guesses and win some amount via sport betting.

Yup it costs much for converting a lower valued con to the Bitcoins .Ethereum is on the second number of most highly ranked cryptocurrencies after bitcoins but even then there is a marked difference in their prices. Therefore the conversion requires an ample amount of money which is not suitable option at all.
Thanks for sharing such a site that offers you to gamble via ethereum .I would like to try it in real with some of those I have left after losing in a gambling last week.

Well there's already some of trusted site which allowed ETH to be used for our gambling activity I know its much lessen in terms of fees and the transaction period is much faster, just give yourself some happy time enjoying your gamble and extend some chances  with much better numbers of ETH.

You could give a try with betcoin.ag for all sorts of gambling needs. In specific when you're interested into sports betting, it gives the ease of betting with bitcoin as well few other altcoins acceptance. The live betting is quick responsive as well everything happens within the website through the inbuilt wallet for faster and real time accessing.

Well that's also a promising site as we talk about betcoin.ag but if you seek also for any kinds of online betting games, I can preferably say that directbet is one of the best recommended betting site to play online. They had also the live betting offers like dice games and sport betting that includes soccer, basketball and many more to choose from.

Here in our country the most popular sports betting is Basketball and sometimes boxing especially when Pacquiao is the boxer. We all know that not all the time pacquiao is the winner and sometimes some of his match people are not satisfied. But our bet and our money to win is depend on our bet and depend on what we are concerted.

If you are interested in betting on a website that uses fiat and not just cryptos , planetwin365 is a very good one to put some money in . It offers great odds and covers a wide variety of sport games all over the world , i'm pretty sure it has all sport sections . It also does have a casino section that also includes virtual sports (you'll bet on a virtual game that will take 1 minute ) . It has over 380k available bets and more than 2.5k users at any period of the day .It offers instant withdrawals and deposits and provides you a 24/7 custom care service .

when faced with an altcoin deposit option.
I'm sure sportsbet will be the main choice to gamble.
which makes me confused,
why OP want to use using eth?
whereas I prefer altcoin for gambling.
especially with the current price.
it's easier to get big wins backed with high bitcoin prices

List of TOP 20 Sportsbooks that accept Cryptocurrency can be found here: http://100bookies.com/sportsbooks-that-accept-cryptocurrency-eng/

Direct bet is the most famous site when it comes to E-sport gambling. I haven’t used any online system for sports betting but I think you should not avail any other option for the electronic methods because all others are going to ask for heavy payments for registration and hence it is better to set the bet face to face without the involvement of online systems.

I have recently heard many news that scammer sites are operating that aim at just using your money and disappear before the end result.

Jetwin is one of the best for now , unfortunately they have not ethereum deposit or withdrawal option.
So do with cloudbet but as far as i know it is not required any kyc , not like jetwin who ask for it sometimes.
Nitrogensports also has not ethereum currency for deposit/withdrawal , really hard to find the full criteria that op mentioned above. We all missed directbet.

Not sure about the ethereum deposits or withdrawal but the only site which fits you description might be nitrogen sports , I haven't used that site but till now never heard any complains about withdrawal, asking for kyc
There bet slip takes time to confirm but you can always post in their chat and it gets confirmed right away

nitrogen is a recommended site .. they can provide comfort to the players ,, although they have not confirmed eth there ,. it would not hurt to keep gambling there using eth, because you will not encounter any obstacles in nitrogen

I used to play in Nitrogensports but yes here also you don't have the option to withdraw and deposit ETH, Directbet site was closed long back but still we are not able to find a good site to do sports betting.  I never played in Jetwin will check this site but if they ask KYC means I will drop.

How about the bustadice that you wear in signature?
I heard bustadice having another option of deposit or withdrawal currencies like altcoins i saw in their thread.
I don't have account in nitrogen but i think is the same as you deposit like bitcoin as a currency in betting.
I think transaction fee of bitcoin and ethereum almost the same so i must prefer on bitcoin than to altcoins in deposit or withdraw in gambling site.

Yes nitrogen is one of the good sports betting site with fast confirmation of deposit and withdrawal also their dice game has low house edge that other dice site. The only thing i dont like is their fund transfer to our friends base on my experience i have many friends that i give some fund i do transfer when they out of fund but last week my account was closed their reason is my account has overlap transaction and they accused that i have multiple account because of fund transfer. That is why i hate that feature in nitrogen. Now me and many of my friends are disappointed for this site.

I only use nitrogen and sportsbet but I think you are right they are not accepting ETH they only use bitcoin as a medium way to bet from their site,
maybe they needed to consider this if the team will be able to read and see that there are gamblers who also wanted to use ETH to bet better to
take that as another options and allow alts to be added to their site.

Bustadice does not offer what the person is asking for which is sportsbetting with these features in mind.
Last time I looked they only offer dice betting and do not think they will be offering wagering in sports as that is a total different beast all together.
There was a site that tried to do it but can not recall if they succeeded or not which they had only casino games on their site and were saying they were soon to have sportsbetting allowed again after they got all the bugs out of their system.
So that statement right there tells you that it isn't too easy to integrate into a site as one might think it is.

Also to answer the original posters question in the first post

I would say no KYC is what I would like to see in a site I wish to be drawn towards because I still believe that satoshis dream is for bitcoin to still be an anonymous ecosystem. ;D
As much as possible atleast which I know it isn't completely. ;)

So far as  I am concerned I deal only in BTC as my alt coin investments is very less. So that requirement for ETh deposits is not applicable to me. Other than that, I do check all the aspects you mentioned and the most important is reliability. I had shared my experiences here how I was cheated with my deposit on a site.

Nitrogen sports, one hash and sports bet are the some of the sport betting. In Nitrogen sports, I had invested and withdrawal the bitcoin. In one hash also I had invested and won some dollars .Even I had withdrawal of 0.005 bitcoin many times.So one hash also good for sports betting.

www.nitrogensports.eu (https://nitrogensports.eu/r/2497729) is very reliable, placed most of my bets there, very solid (on the market since 2013).
Withdrawals are processed within an hour!
Odds are very good. Highly recommended.

In the sense of withdrawal of bitcoin without any KYC ,one hash is best .Only thing in one hash is you can withdraw only with the range of 0.005 bitcoin.So you can choose of one hash, Nitrogen sports, sports bet for sports betting. Use this to have some fun.Don't involved with serious.

Yes that is right to say, i am also using onehash for sports betting, that is good and easy process without any difficulties, you can trust here and can play gambling for any amount of money,  You can transfer your bitcoin as i also mostly deal in bitcoin. I never face any problem while using onehash.

Same here one hash and nitrogen sports seems to be the best out there at the moment and since majority of its users are not having issues with it I think it's best for the OP to use one hash or nitrogen sports without hesitation.

Poker Online
For the best choice the first game is online poker. Gaming gambling this one is so popular and many are playing it. So it is not surprising there are many online gambling players who make online poker as their first choice in playing online betting.

Sport Betting
Then for the next recommendation is a sports betting game where is also known by the public as a sports gambling game. In it of course there are many options sport gambling that can be selected but the most popular is the gambling ball.

Yes that can be the best selection, because you will really feel safe while investing your money here for betting, to me i am also using these platform for betting in sports and i never found any issue while investing my money or betting. Therefore i will also suggest these two sites for sports gambling.

After Directbet close its doors when it comes to sports betting field then Nitrogensports do really took its place where those players of directbet do recognize another place to make bets which is on Nitro and now considered as one of the best sports betting site which we should really not hesitate on playing or making bets.Even myself do like Nitro compared into any other sports betting site.

List of TOP 20 Sportsbooks that accept Cryptocurrency see here: http://100bookies.com/sportsbooks-that-accept-cryptocurrency-eng/

Well it seems like nitrogen sports is the top preferred sports gambling site for most of us here. Checked the site about twice to make a bet in an nba game and it's pretty easy to walk through it. And the funds are easily and quickly transferred, which is a lot to say for a gambling site.
