Anonibet - What is happening with the above situation?
Did you decide not to remove the 5% charge for withdrawing without rolling over a deposit one time?

WOW!  I mean this thread is for discussions on all aspects of bitcoin books. you're bound to be mentioned by players and peeps.  If peeps has played there he has a point of view relevant to discussions here, as we all do who have played on your site.


I don't know what the hell is going on in your joint, but the past week you haven't done much right and your site is quickly falling behind the bitcoin curve.  you may have been the first, but like the iphone, the field has caught up and rapidly surpassed you.  you need to improve both your site and your stance on customer service VERY quickly.

Both companies – Anonibet andcloudbet use one and the same outsourced sports betting solution (Bettingpromotion). Therefore, if one company delays the resulting, it will be 100% delayed with the other company too. Betting promotion offers a cheap product (2,5K per month and you are a bookie), which is a limited offer, but it does work. By the way, apart from the above companies this solution is used by a few more bitcoin-bookies. That is why, unfortunately, users have a rather limited choice. Given the above, if I had to choose between Anonibet and Cloudbet, I would prefer Cloudbet – the product is the same, but prices are much better.
I placed bets with all bitcoin-bookies. Due to various reasons I kept only two bookies. Neither Anonibet nor cloudbet are among them.

Anonibet voided my bet on Lyon +1.5, played against PSG last weekend. The bet won, but anonibet voided it on the grounds of home/away teams being reversed. After I pointed out that the game was played on neutral venue, therefore there is no home and away team they stated there was also a mistake in the odds. During our email conversation they quoted the following:

Paris St Germain - Olympique Lyon
Paris Saint Germain 1.40
Draw 4.45
Olympique Lyonnais 7.80

Olympique Lyon - Paris St Germain
Olympique Lyonnais 6.00
Draw 4.00
Aladeen: Paris Saint Germain 1.55

The former being the odds they offered and the latter being the odds they wanted to have offered. I contested that there's no obvious error in the prices offered, they just failed to follow the market (as odds on PSG lengthened as kick off approached). They were unwilling to discuss this matter any further.

My bet was Lyon +1.5, at odds 1.7, which was very much in line with Pinnacle at the time I took it. Bet date: 15 Apr 2014 14:09:42 GMT.

Why do you have manual withdrawal?? thats not good,  we need to move the btcs fast sometimes and dont have that time.

Anyway i made a withdraw before 22:00 have past more than 2 hours and still "pending"

Info@Anonibet - [Re: statement in T&C that withdrawing without 1x play through will be charged 5%]

"Dear Gogo ppp,

Thank you for your comment. As I have already explained, we do not want to become a safe box. We have never applied this rule so far. I do not understand why this disturbs you..."




Michael - Since you said you don't understand...


I leave a few coins in various books that I feel comfortable with, in case I find a bet I would like to make in the future and can save time this way.

I would feel comfortable doing this with Anonibet, except I don't want to be charged 5% if I decide to withdraw (a few coins). Part of the positives of bitcoins is they can be moved for a few pennies, not 5%.

So it makes me uncomfortable for that reason. Yours is the only book where I see that charge.
If I leave 4 coins valued at ~$500 usd each it will cost me $100 if you change your mind/someone other than you applies the charge, etc.

You say the charge has never been applied.
But then, as I asked, why not remove the language, and give individual warnings that you will apply the 5% charge in the future to people you feel are using Anonibet as a safe box.

So this is why it disturbs me and why I mentioned it for a 2nd time.

Better late than never.

But you should go beyond this.
Anytime a book in relationship to questionable rules says "Yes, we do have that language in our T&C but we never enforce it", they should be asked to remove it if they never enforce it.



When Jetwin tells you "Yes, we have dozens of rules that allow us to steal player funds. But of course we will never do that", your response should be to tell them they're downgraded until they remove that language.
Instead you upgraded them when they told you that. (I know, you subsequently downgraded them due to time in existence).



Likewise Anonibet Michael - Your website states that all funds deposited should be rolled over one time, or will be charged 5% to withdraw.

When I questioned this, you stated that you never charge the fee, but that it is there because you don't want people using Anonibet as a bank and leaving many btc there that they don't intend to play.

If this is the case, why not remove that language from the website, and when you get someone you feel is parking a lot of btc to store at Anonibet, give the person individually a warning, and threaten him with that next time.
I really can't imagine that this scenario comes up very often.

Having that statement of the 5% fee hurts your business.
It's also a non-standard rule for a btc sportsbook, yet it's hidden in the T&C which most don't read.
It should be in bold letters on the deposit page if you keep the rule. But why would you keep the rule if it's never enforced?
