Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone!

I asked you sometime ago about your perfect Dice experience (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5038879) and received a lot of great answers, thank you again!

I've noticed that while Dice is extremely popular here, on BitcoinTalk, there is also a couple of well-established Sportsbook.
What I'm curious about is what are the most important things for you to choose crypto sportsbooks/betting website?

I'd appreciate all the answers and merit talks :)

Bests!

good support
fast/instant withdrawals
good reputation
good odds
a wide variety of sports events to choose from

Thanks for the answer!

I believe that most of the established sportsbooks meet these criteria. Do you play on all/couple of them? Looking actively for best odds? Have your favs?

well there is a lot of unnecessary drama nowadays with most of the sportsbooks
most of my betting i made on cloudbet, which is quite slow with their manual withdrawing of larger btc amount, but i never had any problem with them
i also made few bets on sportsbet.io or whatever its exactly called, the withdrawal was faster but i saw someone complaining about them forcing some larger bettors do KYC in order to release the funds
that reminds me of another criteria
NO need for KYC

i also made like 2 or 3 bets in the past on nitrogensports, but i didnt like the layout of it
but tbh right now i would recommend nitrogensports the most out of all sportsbooks, even if just for the lack of drama or complaints about their site

Generally no at most of the cases or it depends on the situation. For example, I have some funds on a certain sportsbook site and find a best odds on the other site. I found it hassle sometimes to make a deposit. So yeah depend on my mood.

Having a good support is really one of the most characteristics that a certain gambling site does. Withdrawals is fine even it's not instant but it must processed right away for let's say not less than 10 to 15 minutes.

Also aside from variety of sports, I preferred those who have variety of betting option under the same sports.


KYC for a gambling site really suc**. It shouldn't be implemented. No way it can be applied same with crypto exchanges today

By the KYC do you mean any data (including e-mail and/or username) or specific sensitive information like name, address, ID?

by KYC we mean documents confirming the bettors identity like national ID, passport, proof of home address etc
its bs for CRYPTO gambling website to have that when crypto is based on anonymity

I will say nice promotions, good odds, high stakes limits and the range of sportsbetting markets is important too.

When it do talks KYC then definitely it would ask out Personal documentations which had been mentioned above. Name and address can be faked out to it cant be considered as KYC.

On OP, if you tend to make a Poll between a gambling site that do require KYC or not, you will able to find out on whats the most preferred by the community. Anonymity will always be seek out so its better to stick to it.

Interesting to see that no one cares about the possibility to enforce claims after scammed!

Looks like many bettors consider sports betting as well as gambling.

for me it's all about good odds , so when it comes to betting with btc I only bet with Bitcoinrush , Sportsbet ( after price boost ) and Betking
bitcoinrush should eliminate nitrogen from the market , no offense to nitrogen or nitrogen fans but bitcoinrush already offering like all the selections that nitro offers but with higher odds and daily cashbacks so it keeps surprising me that nitrogen is still the most popular site here

if you want to win more ( or at least lose less ) then you should stick to the sites that offer higher odds for the selections that you want to play
personally I stick to the 3 books that I mentioned + some fiat asian sites that have higher odds in some cases

I personally like sport books because that the gambling I'm really good at. Concerning the crypto dice site been popular on here is because the crypto online gambling all started by the dice site owners.
Meanwhile, the most important features most gamblers look for in choose betting site are
1) Instant withdrawals
2) Good and friendly customers support
3) Easy to use site
4) Licensed
5) Good Odds
6) Site with classic casino and something new.

You had some valid points buddy.We should ready to face both the possibility of winning and losing.Play your game money independently.Keep some money for playing gambling and you should not increase the fund after you had won some price.If the withdrawal of time of betting site is low, choose that site.Because we may need money in any emergency.

a good sportsbook main advantages:

1. trusted
2. no KYC or bs like that, instant withdrawals without holds
3. competitive odds
4. customer support , so you can ask questions and get answers within hours or earlier
5. more different games on the platform

Though my opinions are highly objective, you can take them into consideration while choosing your next platform

1. Avoid sportsbet.io, they're involved in shady stuff.
2. Odds are not everything, make sure the sportsbook has a good reputation when it comes to processing bets and paying on time.
3. Avoid sportsbooks which don't have a reputation on bitcointalk.
4. You might as well want to consider anonymity and KYC policies if that's your concern.

1. Trust
2. Easy withdraw
3. Promotions
4. Chat with other members
5. Good support

There are my best five points for perfect experience

I would also like to post my comment here even you guys already mentioned the common preference of a bettor that a betting site must have. I second the motion for having the reputation here in bitcointalk, I think that’s the best choice. I also consider the support of the site, if ever we encounter errors or any issues we can contact them easily and to be provided the fast solution/s.

I think the casino world of crypto hasn't really catch up to regular traditional brick and mortar casino fun levels yet.

First of all the ones in places like Las Vegas and all that call up famous people and get them to sing or do Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Trading Discussion > Why you buy Cryptocurrency ? whatever they are famous for, now making that in an online casino is really difficult that is for sure. However, places like pokerstars really changed that by just putting up big free tournemants. You get into a poker table bet there a bit and if you win you get into a million dollar prize poker tourney and that is almost every weekend.

Hence, I think if the crypto world wants to get bigger than I suggest getting famous crypto people to be in the chat or having a forum AMA session with them and so forth would help a lot and having big prizes every weekend would help too, not like "jackpot" things, actually skill things.

Why it is so direct about sportbet.io? And how about others site which is have some issue too?


But for most people here, odds is important thing to have because it determined amount of money that you get, although it has only slightly difference about the reputation as well, as long as they dont have any issue,i am sure many of them are going to move to a better odds


Why? I do not think there are really needed for bitcointalk account just to promote the site. You can see many big sites out there which offer crypto but do not have any bitcointalk account. Futhermore, there is some scamming site too although they have bitcointalk account

Thanks for the all answers guys!

I have another one: what is your attitude towards non-classical forms of betting?
Meaning mostly exchange betting (bet against other people with chosen odds) and mutual betting (bet against other people with moving odds).

I liked onehash's system, we bet against each other, people keep betting on odds that is either too much or too little but always around the same levels at sportsbooks, however in onehash it all depends on what you bet against each other. People wager for one side and wager for the other side and they decide on the odds.

A team that every other sportbook says will lose might have the best odds in onehash because the team everyone says will lose got a huge wager from someone there, it really happens time to time. Giving the ability to bet against each other is amazing but it took them a lot of time and still not really high up there in wagered amount, people are really just spending very little on them and not really have high wagered amounts on many games. Need more volume and would be perfect.

That's great bro. I did not tried at the onehash but betting is the best one in gambling field since I tried in some gambling games. Mostly end as the loose only but betting will be give the some earnings for sure.

I tried at sportsbet and directbet many times. I will be looking to get the better team if I know the game. If I don't know, I will be with the best odds to make money out of it.

I personally am not too critical in choosing gambling sites, but the important thing is the simple appearance and the website runs lightly, that's all I like, plus there are good features like there is room to invest and also the exchanges available in the gambling site, and about actual withdrawals I don't mind expensive fees, but so far I've always been lucky to use gambling sites that have low withdrawal fees and are also fast as yolodice.com (https://yolodice.com/).

For me the most important thing would be the actual trustworthiness of the website in question. I mean a sportsbook can have great features, but if it's not trusted, all those features still do not make it worth playing on.

Second is the speed of deposits and withdraws, I would only play if they were instant. I've gotten so used to just receiving my winnings immediately after I withdraw them, that I wouldn't want to miss that.

When it comes to sportsbetting, I do not really care if the website has a lot of bells and whistles, I just tend to make simple bets anyway, so there's no need for any special features for me.

for a while dice is the best crypto bet and indeed I know. how come if 88bbet has crypto bets, I will like it even more because there are so many football betting.

With the way a lot of scam gambling sites keep popping up every day, you really want to be very careful which one you are actually making use of. I just look for the reviews of most gambling site, experiences of others, try to tailor it to what I will feel with my own experience, and then choose the one that I believe works best for me.

I have always been keen about the ease of using the platform most of the time, so UI is one thing I do not joke with, then, the support as well as less technical hitch will always do it for me. When all these things are in place and it is a well-known website that has a good reputation and has been on for a while, then I am game!

the reputation of gambling sites that will be visited can indeed be the main benchmark before we decide to play in it. but other than that, if the gambling site I'm going to visit has a very heavy burden to use, I think gambling sites don't maximize the comfort of people who can play in it and that can make us feel bored quickly. Gambling sites that are liked by many people certainly have features that are simple and lightweight to use when playing and have low and fast costs when we make a withdrawal.

We need to consider few things while we are selecting our betting platform.If it is online crypto gambling then you need to look for the reputation of the site in the bitcointalk and they maximum payout which can shows how legitimate they are.And withdrawal feedback from the users when they receive hig rewards because few sites have issues while withdrawing huge payouts and you may need to wait for weeks or months to get that and finally availability of games so sites have only one game like dice and other have collection of games.

Can be accessed on mobile phonesso when or wherever I can place bets via mobile phone,the most important thing is instant withdraw.I'm typical of people who have to be instantaneous if the manual takes time to wait for reception and is very stale die standing waiting for them,There are many market placement options and 24 hours of support for help if there is a problem in placing a bet.The important thing is fair bet not a scam ;)

I like sportbooks that have a wide array of events, even the obscure ones.  The biggest thing is if the site is trustworthy and how quick and easy is it to withdraw your crypto.  You can see a lot of withdrawal problems in the scam accusation section against various casinos.  As long as you do your own research and read reviews you will be able to find trustworthy betting sites.

What I look at most of the time is the reputation which actually encompasses a lot of things.
Generally, a platform will not have a good reputation unless, it has a lot of games to play, a pretty good support which you can always go cry on their shoulders in case you are experiencing any challenge, not having issues when it comes to depositing cash or withdrawing your winnings and so many other things. As long as I find one that basically suits all my need, I just stick with that one as there is no need hopping around and yeah, I forgot to mention usability.

I will say the first thing I check when I found a betting site is their record and review. Since I prefer gambling site that uses cryptocurrency, I always look in this forum to see if someone has reported the site to be a scam, and check this report whether it is true or not. Or other way, most of the gambling site have ANN thread in here, so we can check easily some of user reviews and if most of the review is positive, it's good to go.
Other will be the technical thing like are they "provably fair" certified, the UI of their site, and some other promotional thing like bonus, rebate, etc.

oh really ? for me i am the opposite because i dont like sports book because whenever i heard it the first thing that come to my mind is not user friendly  .  that is also the reason that i have never ever tried sportsbook gambling .   instead i mainly play the traditional games like    dice games , hi lo games , and other easy to play   . 

The site's design do also matter to me if it is accesible on mobiles because im a mobile user and  i rarely have an access to pc .

In gambling beating the experience was most thrilling and more attractive one because we are the investors and we are the profitable person there is no one behind us so we can do anything with our money if the profit will come then we can do anything with that so gambling experience will be different from all kind of earning ways.

We are need to be very prepared for editing and we need to select the perfect site and perfect place to invest getting more profit will be the best experience for each and every Gambler in the starting stage if you lost some money then the interest in gambling will be reduced for most of the people at this time.

Not everyone though starts with a win and that's why i keep talking about discipline before engaging in gambling because if you are disciplined you will not be perturbed if you start with losses but will rather psych up yourself and stay within your game plan and limit and play some more until you start making profit.

When betting into cryptocurrency gambling that will be lot of tips and strategies of that that my opinion is do what you want it will be the most satisfaction moment for each and every investor needed it will be profit or loss the satisfaction is very important in gambling.

I would say choosing first if you are getting into a safe website. There are many gambling sites nowadays being introduced in the market and it would be not surprising to know that there will be fraud and scam websites so as players who are seeking for a good gambling site to engage oneself, you better be careful. Most of the fraud gambling and sportsbetting sites are those which are giving unrealistic bonuses which would surely caught one's attention to be hooked up into it. Always make asking a habit. Not because you would be able to have advantages, you will just grab into the opportunity. Better be safe than sorry.
Why have I pointed about the credibility of the gambling site than just giving good sports betting sites? because it is the most important thing to consider. If you are just aiming for bonuses and rewards, actually, there will be many choices but the question is, which one is real? Believe me, the promotions that the gambling sites are offering to their players are mostly the same with the others. Therefore the competition will vary on the security and credibility of the gambling site. Let's just say that at first, you are receiving huge bonuses, but suddenly, the management become unresponsive together with the players' deposit. That would surely be a problem.
In order to check for the credibility of a sports betting site, or gambling site in general, check the background of the site itself. Seek for huge people behind such gambling site and again, check for their background. Also consider asking people inside that gambling site or those which have experienced playing in the gambling site where you are really interested to. It won't be that much of  a hassle . You may ask in this forum and many good people would respond for sure. As I've said, better to be safe than sorry. Just my opinion for us to enjoy our gambling experience more.

Still a good point.By the way, are you into sports betting? If not, what gambling activities are you into, if you won't mind?

Hope it helps.
Well, I am not really into sports betting site. I am into traditional and popular gambling games such as poker, baccarat, and my all time favorite,jackpot slots (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm).

Odds is the first thing I look for and withdrawal fees and minimum bet amount too matters for me. I have accounts on a multiple of betting sites and choose where I find the best odds for the event.

Bonus and good betting odds is what new gambler's always look out for and a side that faucet will also help you in your quest to becoming a successful gambler in the future. If you are able to get some first time deposits bonus or faucet that will allow you make little amount to start betting with is a great way of encouraging and building trust between players and gambling platform.

good interface, good satisfaction, quick payments lots of Trust involved in it and I think if these countries had a gambling site it will be the best satisfaction giving site for everyone to involved with interest.

There are a lot of great crypto casino that you could try or you could play, but i would suggest if you will try first this crypto casino that i always played because it has fast payouts, great 24/7 support, user-friendly, and it offers fantastic bonuses for every users that gives me a perfect betting experience. You can also play a lot of casino games that you could enjoy like poker, baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and video slots, but i always play here in this crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/viking-voyage?utm_source=ccvv) is video slots because i experience a lot of winnings in playing it. The best thing i like about this site is it has live bitcoin casino and live dealers that you will enjoy as a gambler.

The most important thing I do always looking of on any sportsbooks sites is " how reliable those sites are" I always focused on my funds first before every other things.  I don't jump into playing dice with fund I cannot afford to lose and if I can not withdrawals my funds as fast as possible I do avoid those site.

Good timing, winning chances, satisfaction and success will be the perfect experience after the gambling and in most of the time it will not happen for everyone but I expect this only every time when I gamble.

This crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/promotions/race-to-the-top?utm_source=rttcc&fbclid=IwAR2oJ26Rn307CpAmnUtCkCcryUo_lpkwPGVL-0-RdAy_1UkQqXwVOPQl1-g) is indeed one of the best betting sites you could ever cross upon. It suits and matches well with the requirements I am looking for a betting site. The most important of all, of course, is the legitimacy of the site. It sucks to be scammed after you enjoyed something, isn't it? That's why the first thing I do when it comes to finding a betting site is its reviews and testimonies from different people who have used it and I saw many great reviews about this betting site and I decided to give it a go and I'm glad that it was such a good decision indeed. The next thing is the games. This cryptocasino offers classical games as what mentioned above, but they don't just offer that, one of the things I like in this casino is they have a lot of games and when I say a lot, it's around 300 games. Pretty exciting , isn't? It got me hooked just knowing the amount of games they have to offer. I especially love their live casino. The next is the bonuses/promotions. They already gave me 150% total of bonus, like 100% on my very first deposit and 50% on my second one. They are also generous enough to give monthly bonuses. You can go ahead and check out their site for more infos. And lastly, their customer service. Yes, they indeed offer fast payouts/withdrawals, a 24/7 chat support, and they are polite enough to assist you in any concern that arises. I am lucky enough to came across this state-of-the-art platform.

I often play sport betting, especialy for soccer betting. previously I really liked some sportsbook sites with ideas like this,
- without an account / without registration first, because it's much simpler and easier to gamble.
- instant betting and instant withdraw, when you win and the profits are transferred directly to your wallet address.
- high odds
- and trusted of course

It is really required that you must find a review first before engaging in an unfamiliar crypto casino just like what I did in Vegascasino. And I found its stunning features like mobile friendly,  No country restrictions, Live Chat, Email support 24/7. One of the features that do it have is low deposit options, and it is kinda good I think because sometimes I have no enough fund but I still want to play, hence it is kinda convenient for me.  Fast withdrawals are also one of its feature which makes it better since only a few of it that has a fast transaction. And speaking of the transaction this casino has SSL encryption which makes your transaction protected. There's a lot of good reviews regarding this bitcoin casino which captures my interest.

Exactly people choosing crypto gambling because of hiding identity, so if the site asking kyc not possible information of the gambler they expose from the public.

But anytime these gambling sites even the reputable ones would really still have that kind of possibilities on asking out those kyc information if there are possible situations that would need up some verification specially
these do happens when you win big time on a gambling site majority of them would give you no hassle but there are some would definitely ask out such documents.

Most important things for me:

- Fast withdrawal / deposits
- Promotions like free bets or a deposit bonus from time to time
- No KYC
- fair odds
- big betting range (sports / games)
- nice looking User Interface
- easy to use Interface / place bets
- an App for mobile phone is a big, big plus

That is a good question and we all know the factors that are taken into account before choosing a gambling website. There should be no KYC know your costumer thing on the website because if there is one, I am not going to use it. In addition, there should be a wide rang of different gaming options as well. The withdrawal should be instant because the scam websites just do not respond well when you try to withdraw your coins.

One thing I always look for before any other thing is fast withdrawal. I don't like waiting hours or even days just to get my money in my wallet. I like whenever I place a bet and win, let my money be available within few minutes of me hitting the withdrawal button. And you should consider how safe the website is, and try to know how they work.

An example is Nitrogen Sports that allows users to make use of an anonymous account and if you don't create a password to secure that account immediately, then you will lose, as well with your money if you have already deposited in it. Another thing I look for is a site with good support for their customers.

KYC is a way to prevent the money laundering and this is the need of the day to have this thing in the crypto because using crypto, there could be immense transfer of value like we witnessed when Binance was hacked. But in gambling, it is not considered s a very desirable thing to go through and hence slows down the business of the site that requires its users to go through a KYC thing.

Good reputation is really important, of course we need a legit site for every online gambling games, we also need to have an easy betting online, for us to bet easily, like mobile friendly. Easy to encash your winnings, some promotions or bonus are also good. LOL.
