Posting for a friend regarding coinbet. Their topic is closed so i do it here.

A friend deposited with bitcoin and got their deposit bonus. He played around with it, managed to get 3x hes initial deposit (including all the rollover requirements) and requested payout on Friday.
So far no payout has happened and since saturday he isnt able to log into hes account anymore.
A email has been sent to support, but no reply yet. Their btc adress shows activity a few hours ago, so they have been active.

I hope this will be resolved but so far hes waiting 48+ hours on payout and hes account disappeared without any response from coinbet.
Many times when books give away huge bonuses they understandably have to do security checks to prevent bonus abuse. Some people multi-account which isn't allowed and can lead to confiscation................ The account that you talked about is open and should be paid. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm why is Jetwin a D rated book? Do they pay or can anyone confirm? Or is it cause they r new and need more history. Not questioning the rating system just interested so I can decide if I want to play there?

This is what I wrote on February 6th. They have since gained more of a forum presence so they will be looked at again after March Madness with all the other books. There have been some stiff books that close down right after March Madness.

Jetwin opens at “D-“


Jetwin.com is one of the few bitcoin books that requires your name, address, date of birth and phone number upon registration. The best way to describe Jetwin is by quoting some of their rules:

“The Customer hereby accepts that the Company maintains the right to demand additional information and/or documentation from the Customer in order to verify the Customer as the account holder in the event of such a security check.”

“The Company reserves the right to void any or all bets made by, and/or withhold payments payable to, any person, group of persons or legal entities acting in concert or as a syndicate to defraud the Company, pending the outcome of a subsequent investigation by the proper authorities”

“The Company reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion without explanation given to the Customer to refuse any bet or part of any bet without explanation and/or suspend or close an account at anytime for any reason, “

“ If a Customer account is inactive for twelve consecutive (12) months or longer, the Company reserves the right to close the Customer's account with the Company and the Customer agrees to forfeit any outstanding balance and all claims against the Company”

Jetwin does not have a big forum presence, live chat or phone number. The best that can be said at this time is that there have not been any complaints on payouts.
Short development status update:
We are about to finish implementing new types of bets on Ice hockey. Twice as much markets will be available for our clients for this kind of sport from the next midweek onwards.

Furthermore, taking into account a great number of requests, anonymous accounts will become available as well. These accounts won’t be eligible for any bonus, but for some clients anonymity is a top priority. So, customers will have to choose between anonymity and bonuses.

Thanks for the update. Being anonymous is important to many in the bitcoin community. We'll update your rating right after March Madness.

Can someone explain how an outfit like SBOBitcoin makes money?  Do they get a pct. of total volume bet by their clients at Pinnacle?  Or a pct. of the net losses?  Or something else.

Also, they are in the process of doing something that seems a bit odd.  Their site used to say you will always be given the same BTC/HKD exchange rate (6,000 HKD/BTC) throughout the life of your account.  Which effectively makes any client of theirs long BTC (you will make/lose money from BTC rising/falling in value).  Now they have said they are changing the ratio from 6,000 to 4,000 HKD per BTC for all customers, and so will reduce existing HKD balances by 1/3 to account for the fact that you will now get 50% more BTC per HKD when you withdraw.   All future deposits and payouts will be done at the 4,000 ratio.....until they change the rate again, that is.

So friggin' complicated.  What I am trying to figure out, though, is what their rationale is.  I.e., how does it benefit them exactly?  Clearly, it has no material impact on the player (or at least it shouldn't), so it must have some benefit for SBOBTC.  I've gotten nowhere with them in a ~10-email exchange with them.

My assumption is that they make a percentage of total volume. Years ago most were receiving a percentage of net losses. While Pinny had packages with net losses, they were one of the few to also take a percentage of volume. Many more books have now switched to volume.

 SBOBitcoin was once the top rated book, but due to the confusion that many are having, they were downgraded.

How do you guys like Anonibet?
Best book out of all of them but they definitely need to have college basketball in time for the NCAA March Madness. They have stated that this will be done.

Whats people's issues with Nitrogen Sports?  They have the slickest site by far.

CASINOBITCO.IN (CBTC) ACQUIRES BIT777, PEERBET
CasinoBitco.in (Havelock Investments ticker symbol: CBTC) today announces the acquisition of popular Bitcoin Gaming properties Bit777.com, Peerbet.org, and Peerdice.org from Ultraplay, Ltd. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
CasinoBitco.in (CBTC) was the first Bitcoin-only gaming establishment to offer unique, provably-fair games along with a full Sportsbook. Operating successfully since May 2013, they offer HTML5 Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Video Poker and Hi-Lo in their Casino.
Bit777 is a Bitcoin-only Casino, designed by Ultraplay Ltd, offering over 50+ flash-based games and have taken in over 1 million bets!
Peerbet.org is a popular community-based Bitcoin Gambling site offering chat, raffles, a proprietary “Wheel” game, dice, and more.
Peerdice.org, an offshoot of Peerbet.org, is a unique new community “versus” style dice game with only a 0.3% house edge. Players select their rolls and bet against each other on the site. Since launching February 1st, the site has already supported over 250,000 P2P games.
CasinoBitco. in first announced their goal of growth via an acquisition on Havelock Investments in December 2013. Since then, CasinoBitco.in has been in negotiations with Ultraplay and other Bitcoin Gaming operators looking for a deal favorable to all parties involved. Ultimately, the acquisition of Bit777/Peerbet was a the best fit for CasinoBitco.in not only due to the strong financials Bit777/Peerbet bring to the table, but also the opportunity to bring awareness of CasinoBitco.in to over 15,000 registered users on Bit777/Peerbet.
CasinoBitco.in is extremely excited to add Bit777/Peerbet to their current assets and eagerly looking forward to integrate all sites under the CasinoBitco.in brand
Ultraplay will continue some involvement in operations of the acquired properties for the foreseeable future, and there is no immediate impact to players on Bit777/Peerbet. CasinoBitco.in ultimately intends to merge many of the feature and functionalities between the various sites over the next 6 months to build the largest and best Bitcoin Gaming network around.

How long does support take to email back? I contacted yesterday about a deposit that has yet to be credited and have yet to get an answer or credit yet.  I'm starting to lose faith in this book.

I think support wasn't in the office yesterday.

LOL perfect time to give the "office" the day off.

Half their players are in a frantic right now wondering where their money is and Freddy Prince takes the day off....

Still wondering if I'll ever get my 2.5 BTC back that were "hacked" from this joke of a sportsbook

Bitbook downgraded from B+ to B-. BitBook has increased the bookmaker's theoretical hold which isn't a good sign coupled with the recent DDoS attack. NCAA totals are now -112. There are also complaints of slow pays.

DirectBet takes 7.8 BTC on true live wagering. Not many books will do this including the established cash post up books. DirectBet isn't requiring players to post up bitcoins decreasing player's risk. DirectBet also has a perfect track record as far as payouts. One concern is the limited offerings for NCAA basketball especially with March Madness approaching.
