RBF is enabled but there is no option to increase the fee in the context menu in Electrum.
I guess I'm supposed to use the MEMPOOL accelerator then?
Maybe I just wait. The fee was 8.3 sat/vB btw which is low/mid priority according to MEMPOOL.
/ Oh, I just got the 1st confirmation. Nevermind. Thanks for your help Mia!

When you make use of a private key you are simply restoring the wallet from a paper wallet the reason is simple, for you to be able to spend the coins in a wallet or sweep a wallet, the transaction has to be signed with the private keys, else there won't be a transaction id to broadcast to the network.
Do I have to manually broadcast something? (I watched a video where it says so) As of now, the transaction is just sitting there with 0 confirmations after 2+ hours. I think I messed up the fee as I just applied the default fee that was set by Electrum and it was too low so now I'm stuck for hours (maybe even days?)...

You were right, Zaguru & Omega. In the YouTube videos I watched, they never showed the fee screen, so that's why I was confused.
I just completed the sweeping process and the fee was surprisingly low.
Thank you guys so much for your help!

You will definitely set the fees yourself. No matter what you do on wallets like electrum you are the going to be the one to set your fees.
Once you setup the sweeping private key procedure which includes the recipient address you can go ahead and click on sweep and just like Normal transaction the fees window will open and you can set the fee suitable for you and then proceed to pay or send.
So you're saying after hitting the "sweep" button I can still choose the amount of fee I want to pay? https://i.imgur.com/w3pz0Kf.png

Hi, I just learned the difference between sweeping and importing a private key from a paper wallet into Electrum and that, overall, sweeping is the "better" option.
What I could not find out is whether or not I have any control over the fee I have to pay.
I read some reddit threads about "Outlandishly high fees for sweeping from a paper wallet" or " it will not doing it for anything less than %5" and now I'm a bit worried as I never tried the sweep option before (I used to use Blockchain.info only) and it's a relatively high amount, so I don't want to pay like thousands of dollars* just to cover a third-party fee I have no control of.
*which is probably not going to happen but, you know, just in case...
Thank you guys. Any help is highly appreciated.

The company behind Buff is a solid company with good people.
Come on, no need to grovel just because they do not scam you in the end. At least for their attempt, we have to blame them! I've been sports betting half of my life and I can tell you one thing for sure: There are no good people in this business.

Yes, after some emails back and forth it was today that I heard they agree to my offered solution: they pay me the full 399.65mbtc outstanding balance, but in increments of 2000 euro per month. What do you mean they pay you 2000 Euro per month? The instalment they pay you varies on the current BTC price? So if BTC is skyrocketing, you will lose value? I mean, if that was your suggestion, it's alright. Maybe you planned to sell your BTC anyway, so it wouldn't make much of a difference. Anyways, congrats! I am happy to say that Buff afterall are not thieves, they just (...)
Wrong. They are thieves who got caught and then being rueful

The recent gambling legislation set by the Ministerium für Inneres, ländliche Räume, Integration und Gleichstellung with the Gaming Agreement 2021 came into force on July 1st, 2021 in the jurisdiction of Germany. The legislation is in full force since that date.
 First of all, it was not the "Ministerium für Inneres..." (they probably mean the Bundesinnenministerium = Federal Ministry of the Interior) which ratified the new gambling law called "Glücksspielstaatsvertrag" but the 16 federal states of Germany. Gambling falls under the legislation of the federal states. The Federal Ministry of the Interior has no legislative competence in this regard. Secondly, online gambling has always been illegal in Germany. There was just a grey area when it came to prosecution. German authorities tolerated especially EU-based operators from Malta and Gibraltar because the highest court of the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), chid Germany multiple times for their national gambling law reasoning that it would violate fundamental rights of the EU like the "Freedom of Establishment and Freedom to Provide Services in the European Union". So, what Germany did was just tolerating online gambling but, formally, it has NEVER been legal before July 1. In fact, sports betting and casino was a state monopoly and land based only. In short, suggesting that online gambling suddenly became illegal in Germany on July 1, 2021 is just wrong. It has always been illegal in this country. Regarding the Bitcoin <-> Euro thing, I can support what LoyceV said. It's so shady, it makes them even look worse. They know exactly that they "made a mistake" (aka tried to scam) and that they have to pay in order to keep face. But instead of just paying the remaining balance, they are now trying to push down the amount. And on top of that all, they are not even willing (or able?) to pay the balance at once. The whole story throws such a bad light on Buff.bet and their parent company XB Systems AG.

made changes and users from Germany can't register anymore. there is no more Germany as an option in drop-down menu.
It's still available if you select any crypto currency in the form: https://i.imgur.com/WOw0xal.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/aURKcKg.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/2yu2puh.pngIt's pretty obvious to me that they don't have access to the code, so blocking German IPs was the only option they had. Meaning that if you are a German (currently) located in another country or just using a simple browser built-in VPN (e.g. in Opera) like I did, you can still register. It's really working, I just tried. I even filled the address data with a real German email domain and a real existing German address: https://i.imgur.com/99KkUbH.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/a540feA.pngIt even says "Account status: Verified:" although the chosen name, email address, DOB and phone number is completely fake  What a shady book.

Btw, since yesterday I noticed they don't allow German IP-addresses to visit the site anymore....there is some kind of cloudflare error. But maybe it's just that they only blocked my IP. No, it's not just you. I can't access the site either. But Germany is still in the country list when signing up with Bitcoin as of today.
Yeah, unlucky if you're not the owner of the software and have to wait for some external provider to edit the code.

If Buff.bet does not honor the remaing balance of customers they ban due to new national regulation, but instead confiscate the winnings without prior notice, this site is a scam. There can't be two opinions about that.

AskGamblers.com is run by some marketing a**holes who are lining their pockets with affiliate money at the expense of the players! It's the second time they have closed one of my complaints without even giving me a chance to make a statement on the casino's reply: https://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/all-right-casino-account-closed-and-under-investigation-for-7-weeksI've asked their customer support to reopen the complaint but they refused. I've asked their customer support why they even ruled my complaint 'resolved' (in favor of the casino) but they refused to give me a reason. But hey, it's good for their statistics, I guess. They can add another completely unresolved dispute to their resolved record and everybody - except the player - is happy!

Did you ask them why on the site it said "declined" instead of "cancelled" ?
Problem here is, Adkins pretty much gave up on their bitcointalk account some days ago, you can read it in their thread.
So whatever happens, by posting here I doubt you will get the result you want.
Anyway, viel Erfolg!
No, I didn't. I'm tired of talking to those blatant liars. And I'm sure I won't reach anything anyway. This thread is just pro forma. Danke trotzdem!

You were the guy that was scammed by game-protect, too. Remember what a beautiful thread that was?
Of course I remember. I wish I wouldn't. It's funny because they declined the withdrawal and then state in the email that you cancelled it. So what's that supposed to mean? As far as I know, for the player it's not even possible to cancel a withdrawal. At least I didn't find any option or button to cancel it.

I believe Adkins should pay the OP base on the right odds
The odds were in line with the market. 1xbet had the same odds at that time. It just was huge value, so consequently the odds had to drop until kickoff. As I said before, the early bird catches the worm.

the problem people are very easily now just writing that adkins is placing bets. nice detail that all their placed bets were lost and not win wonder what would happen if that bet would have won would they complain then as well if adkinsbet wanted to place a losing bet then for sure thet would have pick a more difficult one and not with odds from 2.26 since thats to close to 50% to win
Actually not worth replying as you seem to be a shill/sock puppet, but I do it anyways to make clear what I think has happened: Adkinsbet placed the bet when the outcome was already known. This is not uncommon and happened before at other books: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3559319-summary-1bet-18bet-babibet-hacking-scandal.htmlBTW, if you guys wonder about my reputation, ask any user or the moderators on the SBR forum: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3646039-adkinsbet-cancelled-my-withdrawal-request-placed-fake-bet-lost.htmlAnd yeah, it's funny to see how sock puppets are defending Adkinsbet and questioning if the bet was really placed by themselves. For the case you missed it: Adkinsbet basically admitted that they placed the bet as they voided it an hour later by saying there was a "technical problem" when I told them that I opened two threads on BCT and SBR. Hilarious! Then they apologized but instead of letting me withdraw my funds, they retroactively voided my Syrian Cup Combo THREE WEEKS LATER for "fixing" + "abitrage" (arbitrage on a 4-match combo lol) + "tipster service"! Not kidding, they mentioned all three things at once! Shills and sock puppets: Stop posting misleading BS! Stop blowing smoke! Get out of this thread if you have nothing more to say!

Did you ever hear of the early bird?

What has happened to that forum? Only paid shills and sock-puppets that defend the scammer? Why are you guys even focusing on the Syrian Cup Accu? It's called value and it is basic for being profitable in the long run. Do you see the results in this competition a day before? Yes, well, I did so, too. It was the first round of that cup and I concluded, based on those results, that there must be a big difference between division 1 and 3 or lower. So I made my research for the next day and bet on level 1 teams -HCs v level 3 teams. There are only 4 levels of football in Syria BTW. If you look at the results of the first rounds of that competition in the years before, you will see a similar picture:      Everybody who has a slight idea of how sports betting works, knows that it is IMPOSSIBLE to fix all those matches. You can simply prove that there were not even betting markets on all of those matches with high results in the years before. And those betting markets in 20/21 were so small, not even Asian books offered odds on those matches. For most of the matches there was not even offered a live market. So, back to my main question: Why are you guys even focusing on that one bet? You seem to completely ignore that Adkinsbet actually cancelled my withdrawal request and placed a FAKE BET! They did the same thing to other players before, which was easily proven like in this case: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310071.0They didn't even change the odds, just the bet:   This is insane!

Lol, they just changed the outcome of my last two bets and say that the accumulator on Syrian Football Cup matches was "fixed", "arbitrage" and from "tipster service". All at the same time!
These guys are hilarious.
PS: I won't react to paid shills in this thread.
