Morning all, Hope you had a great weekend!

I've just walked into the office so I'm just going to grab a coffee then update the points and spreadsheet after the weekend's action - Watch this space! 

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

@batang_bitcoin Yeah as the competition is free to enter we wanted to make it a bit of a challenge, just incase we were flooded with hundreds of players

With the 'points' system it should be possible to get on the board and claim a prize for the weekly competitions, and the monthly grand prize is guaranteed for whoever is in 1st and 2nd place! If it looks too strong after the first round I plan to lower the weekly win requirements slightly.

@Nalbo We currently accept BTC and BCH, but have plans to expand the number of supported currencies as soon as possible

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Hi all,

Just as a heads up to everyone who's taken advantage of our EPL Risk Free Bet for new players - because this has been such a huge opening weekend we are waiting till all bets are in before crediting the bonuses all at once - you should expect them to hit your accounts on Monday ready for next week's action! 

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Hi panjul07,

I really can't advise players to use VPNs to access Cloudbet as it probably breaks our T&Cs about players from restricted territories.

If you want to enter the competition for fun you are more than welcome to do so, but I'll be unable to allocate any of the prizes (besides the wooden spoon - I can post that!) 

Really sorry about this, I'm trying to come up with fun competitions that appeal to a wide audience but the territory issue is always going to get in the way.

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Morning all, and a big welcome to all the new entrants! 

I've had to recreate the competition spreadsheet - even when published to web it was requiring players to ask for permission to view, so I've set up a new one from a personal gmail address which should allow full access.

There's only a few hours left before we close the competition for Week 1 entries (11:00AM UTC) so get those posts in soon if you haven't already!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

@SyGambler Thanks again for taking part in our survey! I'm really looking forward to seeing the results, and the feedback we've got will shape how we plan future improvements to our website, sportsbook, and casino offerings.

@Angry0ne Apologies, I didn't realise you were discussing the live selections. I've passed on the request to our sportsbook teams, hopefully your ongoing feedback will give me the ammunition I need to keep pushing for the live lines to be prioritised next!

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

I've just updated the thread and spreadsheet with the new entries.

@guybrushthreepwood That's not a name I was expecting to pop up here! I just re-installed Curse of Monkey Island the other day for a bit of nostalgia!

@pemish Looks like the Zinchenko deal has fallen through at the moment, apparently he wants to stay and fight for his place at City!

Thanks,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Fo anyone that may have missed it - We are currently running a Free EPL Predictor competition on BitcoinTalk!




There's free entry with bitcoin up for grabs! Just head over to the Competition Thread and make your prediction before the deadline tomorrow at 11:00AM UTC.

Have a great day, and enjoy the EPL action!  

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Thanks for sharing our competition! 

For all you EPL fans we also have a Risk Free Bet offer for new Cloudbet customers, as well as the usual 100% first deposit bonus. Details here

Have a great day!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

A big welcome to all the new participants! I'll update the spreadsheet and player list now.

Looks like some people are still waiting for the end of transfer deadline day to make their predictions  

Does anyone think some of the last minute signings will effect the results this weekend?

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Edit: Thanks to Hhampuz for noticing the typo!

Good morning all! Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday, we had our yearly strategy review day so I was in presentations and meetings for most of it 

@LTU_btc I can understand, I'm still harassing our sportsbook teams for an update on the minimum stakes problem and will update as soon as I can.

@Angry0ne Which soccer lines are you looking to bet on? We've recently updated and there should be a full range of soccer options available, from international events to tournaments and national leagues.

@Flagship11 We do offer some of the best odds around, especially for certain sports like baseball. We also have the highest betting limits in crypto gambling last time I checked, we were allowing bets up to 100BTC/700BCH on the World Cup Final!

@SyGambler Thanks very much for the feedback! I'll pass on the margin request, I'd like to see it reduced if possible.

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

That's all good, I just wanted a rough format for easy reading 

Thanks to everyone that's entered so far! I'll update the spreadsheet and list the participants usernames in one of the reserved posts above.

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Afternoon all, hope you all had a great weekend!

Lots to catch up on, so I'll post my responses below:

@4x4et I'm really glad the withdrawal has been processed. I escalated the situation before the weekend and it looks like one of our senior management team issued the payment personally after learning of your situation. Once again I'm sorry for the problems you encountered, and I'll still be working with our sportsbook teams on a future update to ensure that any minimum stakes over 0.001 are clearly marked.

@LTU_btc Most of our sportsbook lines have a minimum stake of 0.001BTC, however as @4x4et found, some of our soccer lines (Europa League specifically) are currently higher at around 0.0058BTC. I'm investigating this with our teams and trying to seek an explanation for the difference at the moment - I'll let you know any information I receive asap.

@digaran We never deny legitimate payments to our customers, and in cases like the one above I will always side with the player to try and find a resolution. We are a legitimate sportsbook and casino that have been around on bitcointalk since 2013, and in a niche industry like crypto gambling reputation is key - there's no way we'd risk that for a $20 deposit.

Our campaign manager issued negative trust without instruction from myself, I'm assuming due to the person in question attempting to derail things spamming SCAM in bold red letters all over the campaign thread (this was after I had sought to resolve the situation with a bonus and escalation of the withdrawal issue).

Thankfully the withdrawal has been issued and although I'm not happy with the delay the player suffered, I'm happy the situation is now resolved.

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Thanks to everyone who's getting involved in the campaign, and special thanks for Hhampuz for getting everything up and running smoothly 

We'll send out the first round of payments on Monday 13th - have a great week!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

In case you missed the post above, the first week's matches are up and ready for your predictions!

Liverpool v West Ham
Arsenal v Man City
Newcastle v Tottenham
Wolves v Everton

Simply post below with your predictions to be included in the first week's round of entries - it's free to enter and there's bitcoin up for grabs in the weekly and monthly leaderboards! 

Good luck everyone!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

@4x4et Accusing us of money laundering and identity theft when we are in this very situation due to the need to comply with AML laws is a stretch, but if you feel the need to vent I can understand.

@baskoroaw Which updates do you mean? We are almost ready to announce some big news regarding our expanded support teams, and are constantly making updates to our site to improve the performance and service we provide to our players.

I'll usually try to post any big updates or give advance warning of any site maintenance here and on Twitter.

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet
