Damn. Did hackers steal funds successfully or something? I tried accessing the site and it loaded up fine, but the message about the attack was displayed on top. Horrible time for an attack.

I was planning on betting on the Biden-Trump winner bet, but that might be risky considering current conditions. I hope they restore all services asap.

Damn, have you contacted support?

The site looks fine to me

There are a lot of reputable bitcoin sports betting exchange sites and they are and they are of the majority here, you just have to spend some time to research their reputation and see if it suits your preference, you are not really that good to win all the time and take down the whole gambling site, if you are playing in a big and reputable gambling site, you can win a big amount and cash it out.
I have seen big winnings cashed out, they will not suspend or restrict your account as long as you are playing fair, and they should be happy that the players able to cash out a big amount, it's a good promotional too.

It seems much of it stems from their use of market-makers who either work for Smarkets or work on their behalf who provide (artificial) liquidity to the exchange. So that when you are betting there, chances are you aren't betting with other customers but with Smarkets themselves. This of course creates a conflict of interest between the exchange and their customers, because you are betting directly against the exchange.

I've only been using them a short while but already I've witnessed their tricks, just because I have the audacity to win off them. Some of the tricks they do include:
(1) They use their liquidity providers to mimic Betfair prices. So you're not betting with other customers but with the exchange directly, which is a similar situation as with a regular bookmaker. Sometimes you can bust their risk limits, and you get the ridiculous and pathetic situation of what appears to be a liquid market with loads of participants turning into an empty market with about 5 orders. A high proportion of their revenue now comes from proprietary trading and I know they're recruited a lot of people into that area.

If you are winning a lot of money, you will most likely be investigated and asked to undergo KYC verification. Whether they will suspend/restrict/ban your account depends if you are strictly following the rules the casino have set (i.e. not playing from prohibited jurisdictions, not playing with multiple accounts, not underage, etc.)

There are many reputable platforms here but do not mistake "reputable" as not having the ability to lock your account. AFAIK, all long time bookies here have had cases of account suspension/limitation in the past. Again, follow their T&C and you should be 90% okay playing.

If you profit, you are not losing In general bookmakers don't like winning players, which makes sense, because it reduces their own profits. So 99% of them will limit your account sooner or later, if you win longterm (and make frequent withdrawals). There is some threshold though, i.e. if you win $5 per month on average and withdraw them, this won't get you a limit. Things get different when it's $500 or more....

It kind of makes sense or is understandable, but I think bookmakers limiting policies are too strict nowadays. They are greedy just like all their customers are - human nature.


Exbet launched their BTC betting exchange just recently and you won't get limited there for winning. As you anticipated correctly, they don't care, if you win or lose, they make their money with commission. They are still in early stages though and it will take some time until more markets are added and there is more liquidity. But it looks promising all in all.

Fairlay is another one.
