Site is very inaccurate and likely rates based on which sites pay them the best affiliate commissions. For example Bovada is 10/10 on odds for their site with -110 evens while Pinnacle is 8/10 on their site for odds despite having -106 evens. (and that's Bovada's normal line - you may get profiled and then given a different line based on your betting patterns. Hardly 10/10 odds)

Avoid.

To be honest I am also not a fan of such list since it differs from person to person what actually they are looking for. Ratings are given with the point of personal view so I don't think it will be same for others.

I will give more reasons to avoid this. Directbet is no longer there. Michelle(owner of DB) closed the site 2-3 years ago. While on other hand you have listed two scam sites 1Xbet and 1Xbit.

It more likely indicates that you don't have an idea about some of the sites so how come you are able to give them a rating if you don't experience it?

As far as I remember about 1xbet and 1xbit they do have scam accusations and the one behind 1xbit and 1xbet are the same person. There are different people who have faced a problem in their site about the money they want to withdraw and the support doesn't  clarify or fix problems that the players have.

I am not the owner of that review site. I just thought it would be better to post that list, hoping you guys would confirm if those ratings are well-deserved. And voila, it appears some are not — this could be a great way to inform the site owner that the reviews should be redone and that the sentiments of more bettors should be considered.

I have not read the review first but I like the idea of listing all my favorite Sportsbook.
There's a lot of sportsbook in the list, and most of the site I am not aware they are existing as they are not popular in the forum.

Thanks for making this, hopefully I can read an accurate or a non bias feedback.

As you may know, odds aren't the only criteria for rating a sportsbook.

It seems you didn't check the Directbet review page. On the page there's a large banner that says: Sportsbook Closed.

You should edit the OP for the disclaimer so you wouldn't be blame for any action that will occur.
Perhaps, the owner should do another review thus at least conduct a survey from the bettors. I'm pretty sure bettors wouldn't choose a bad site after all.

I was planning on creating a review site on gambling sites for which I was looking for a good domain name. Anyway, thank you for bringing up this but as like Darkstar said, your site is not complying all the necessary info for getting an honest review. I think you should check and correct these so that people can get an honest review.

That is why user comments like yours are very much appreciated. Discussions on threads such as this can help us all come up with our own sound judgments about casinos or sportsbooks.

I only hope that the owner of the site can make an update on his website so people who visit on that site can see that the list of gambling site is always up to date. The gambling website itself still trying to compete with the others because they want to be number 1 in the gambling industry, so they make some offers to attract the gamblers to play in their site.
But yes, I see a big list of gambling website on his article. But it's difficult to make a rating for every website as we know that the rating cannot be base on one or two opinions only and it's come from many people who satisfied with the services.

What are you talking about? You do realize that every single review of anything(website, game, movie, song etc) is subjective to a particular extent, don't you?

There are basically 2 kinds of people. The first kind tend to depend on the reviews(Like the link by op) completely while the 2nd kind tend to formulate their own opinion first regarding anything and don't depend too much on others reviews.

I am a part of the 2nd group here. Also, op cleared all your doubts in his replies through the thread.

I also believe that these review sites works much more as a way to promote some sites than others as people shouldnt use these reviews as basis for their personal experinces. But I do agree that if you want to run such a site you should always keep it updated to avoid keeping closed and scammers sites in such a list

This isn't an infographic.It's just an image of a bunch of logos,short descriptions and "read more" green buttons.It looks like a screenshot to me.I've only used Betcoin.ag 3 years ago and it was a decent poker platform.Never had any issues with them.The other platforms are new to me.

Maybe OP had a wrong understanding about what is Infographics But yes it is a collection of imagery but having an overview of what is the topic about, But this is consist of different gambling site that has been reviewed by the site,

But at least he provided a great info about what site is actively paying gamblers and newbies and veteran gamblers alike would have an info before digging in with a certain site, They literally sacrifice some of their bitcoin or cash to just let us know on what is the condition of each site they represent, And I actually like the information they have brought up and giving newbies a hint on different gambling site before trying to make a dive on the wrong ones.

It is obvious that you have taken a great effort to build this website. But, I am not satisfied the list of casinos on this website. There is no point adding so many casinos to the list unless they are all genuinely reviewed. It is clear that they are based on the commission you get. I saw 1xbet on to. For real?

My suggestion is to add some good casinos with legit reviews. (If you have trouble finding them, see this gambling board and go through each threads.)

That isn't list of bitcoin sportsbooks but overall list of it. 1xbit isn't live since 2007 year but 1xbet is. Also 1xbit (1xbet too) are proven scams for years.
I don't know bitcoin sportsbooks well (websites) but as I see you are missing FortuneJack in your list, also I can't see nitrogensports, onehash and some other bitcoin related websites.

In most cases why these list arent really trust-able at all yet this is only based on owners personal view or a few number of people.It isnt really accurate at all which listing out
a site that already closed its doors for how many years which turns out that they arent aware on what they do list out. Preference would vary on each user since we do have
different experiences on each sportsbook we do tried and normally people will always prefer the popular ones.

The closed sportsbooks have the banner "Sportsbook Closed" on their respective review pages.

It's a good thing some of you have negative thoughts on the list. At least some real concerns are now coming out. Most of you mentioned complaints/accusations, but we can't deny the fact that some real players also had positive reviews of those sites you are complaining about like 1xbit/1xbet. Similarly, those sportsbooks you glorify aren't perfect all the same as they also have glitches, hence the existence of some (or a few) negative feedback about them also from real players.

The list is not perfect, but it still hold much truth for most of the other brands listed. And please never expect that elsewhere you will find a perfect list with perfectly crafted reviews and absolute fair ratings. Perhaps now it is just a matter of counterchecking one sportsbook review with another. If commonalities are seen, then the doubts can be lessened. If there are more differences in the reviews than similarities, that just means you will have to decide at your own risk.

So just a tip: when signing up with a sportsbook you want to try, no matter how high or low its rating is, it still pays to risk a low amount of money at the start. When in the long run there seems to be no transaction problems, good for you. You can then start risking more at a gradual pace.
