I'm not going to put Coinbet on our recommended list at this time

Is this list from the OP still good? Have any of these books "fallen out of favor" or left people without payment?

2) bitcoinlivebets.com didn't pay you so you rated them D-

Which one is it ?


I have nothing against Ryan or his ratings so I try to stay away of any criticism since it's nice to have multiple rating guides.

bitcoinlivebets is a very shaky book. They have problems on almost a daily basis and automation is never fully working. Each person has different reasons for playing at a book. I think that bitcoinlivebets is at the top of the list of the next book to go under although I hope it's not the case.

StakeBTC opened to forum members on January 18, 2014, although they have been open to a private group for a longer time. StakeBTC has a maximum bet of 30 BTC and many seem to play with StakeBTC for this reason. Others advertise higher limits but rarely is it available. There are a lot of good things about StakeBTC that I don't even want to mention at this time because of one point. When a sports book offers a 100% bonus with a 2x rollover, that's a huge red flag. The only thing keeping StakeBTC from being a "F", because of that bonus, is that they haven't had one complaint as far as payouts. StakeBTC opens at "D"

Peeps. IMSO they are rated way too high. Most all the other popular bitcoin books, same as fiat currency ones, have comprehensive betting rules by sport. Anonibet has only a very small section in their terms and conditions that cover just the very basics. They offer a bonus that for all intents and purposes is like a 10% cash bonus on all deposits with only a 1X rollover. This bonus has no rules associated with it. The 1X rollover can be done at -20000 odds even. There is nothing else saying what is and what is not allowed. Yet, their only rules is they can adjust balances after the fact retroactively under their own discretion and with no explanation to remove past winnings. Some like their in-play betting platform but other sites use the exact same provider at lower margins (everything is a match just Anonibet has higher juice). Their prematch odds are also not very good. Those can be offset by bonus, but the bonus has major issues in the lack of terms followed by a catchall term.

Michael might be a great guy. Their company could want to operate fair. They however do not at least in print / policy conform to the standards of fair gambling that the oldest fiat currency books adhere to, and other bitcoin books use. It might be due to lack of experience, but that would be a concern too. I know they are the oldest for bitcoin, but some of these other books have management with decades in the sports side of the industry. I think even B- for them is too high, but could maybe swallow it. Having them rated higher than Nitrogen, Cloudbet and Casinobitco.in I don't think is wise.

BetCoin should also be no more than C or C+ and on watch imo. By watch I mean it could go either way with further adjustments from there.

We have some big announcements! We have expanded our sport section tremendously. We are still a betting exchange - so we don't offer specific odds, instead they are found by the market. However, we partner with some market makers that guarantee to offer very good odds (better than pinnacle) and we have cut the fees for sport bets from 2% to 0.00%.
We do not offer any bonuses - instead we entirely focused on cutting costs and with this setup we are confident that we offer the best odds available.
It is possible to place bets without an account - we only take a 0.5mBTC fee for the transaction. With accounts even this fee is waived.

We are happy to get feedback!

@Peeps Place - looks like fairlay is currently under NR AND under D.

In other news:

SBR has upgraded SBO.ag to C- claiming all outstanding issues have been resolved. Mine hasn't and the person (Matt) who's been handling my case and telling me SBO won't talk to him about my case is now not responding to my emails. I've tried to contact SBO myself again, but to no avail. After a few exchanged messages they closed my support ticked and wouldn't respond any further. I'm gonna try sending an email to a different address at SBR and if I don't get a satisfactory reply in a couple of days I'll be posting on their forum.

Coindrafts have stopped paying me in November, I think. Last I heard from them a couple of weeks ago they were still saying they're recovering from the wallet disaster and outright told me they have no idea when they are going to pay me. Now their site is dead. They owe me 8.2btc.

Peep what is the update on webetcoins. He paid out a customer just now and is responding to emails. I cant get a response or a small payout from him.

of course

i can't, i cant log in and support saying account with my email doesnt exist. all i have are deposit and withdrawal emails.

Hey Peeps, can you please comment on the A rated Anonibet, apparently a Gold Member of the Bitcoin Foundation. How and why should deposits take forever to be credited to our accounts?  After 3 attempts, their support finally replied my email and stated that they are processing all WITHDRAWALS manually, even though I had clearly stated that I was following up on my deposit. That is crap customer support and they only say they cannot give timeframe and the deposit will be processed shortly. What kind of wallet upgrade are they talking about? Are they manufacturing wallets? An A rating my ass
