We currently have the best 'will Trump be president on February 1, 2021?' market odds online: https://www.pokershares.com/market/politics

Only one entry in politics? How about other aspect of politics or politics from other top countries? Because I don't think many players will bet on this item, as many here believe that Biden will sit the Presidency unless, Trump will make a move to stop Biden from taking oath this coming January 20,2021.

There's actually 7 figures being wagered on this market and it's the biggest politics market on any site at the moment!

On request of many crypto enthusiasts we have made a betting market for the World Series of Trading (WSOT) on Bybit.

As far as we know this is the first official betting market on a bitcoin trading competition.

PokerShares has started a team in the competition as well and everyone on Bitcointalk is welcome to join it: https://bit.ly/LiveTradersSuck

Hey guys, I just heard that Doug Polk vs Dnegs HU match is on.  Around 10k to 25k hands across two tables...  Will you guys be laying action in your site?  Thanks.

Should be a good one.  Smiley

Yes definitely, the most exciting and anticipated HU Grudge match in poker ever!
We already have a betting market up: https://www.pokershares.com/market/poker/6ee2a4d8-df3a-4c0b-bee2-1b14b727751f

I love how well the site is design, looking forward to your response to my inquiry.
Cheers QueenVera!
You can just click away the signup window to browse the site. Here's a link to our Politics betting markets: https://www.pokershares.com/market/politics

Just retired after dropping this complain and I got a view of how the bet are to be placed so I guess it was all my fault and not that of the site. Maybe my network wasn't strong when I tried accessing the site but everything working fine since then.
For the bet, the odds are against democratic but I think they'll emerge the winners as everyone's is tired of Trumps incapability to governed the United States. Am I the only one, thinking in this direction?


The democrats are the favorites but most of the betting volume on PokerShares is coming in on Trump. Compared to other bookmakers, our odds on democrats are very good because of the discrepancy in bets coming in.

Our gaming license requires us to request KYC (ID document and proof of address) from our users prior to withdrawing. We are operational for 3.5 years and we have never claimed 'suspicious activity' or something similar to complicate or deny withdrawals. Our reputation as a trustworthy gaming operator is worth everything to us. Please note that we are one of the few crypto accepting gaming sites with a high profile public face of the company. It's one of the reasons many highstakes gamblers from the poker community choose for PokerShares.
Betting on poker players might be engaging, and if you've indeed been around for 3 years, it's good in terms of your reputation. But how come that the only mention of you on Bitcointalk seems to be in this thread? Why haven't you been here all this time?

We have only recently added BTC as a currency to our platform. Joining Bitcointalk with an ANN thread and signature campaigns is our first effort to market this.

Is this KYC mandatory for all the withdrawals or you can ask for KYC for certain withdrawals in which you smell something wrong ?
If all the withdrawals are subjected to KYC then it will be better to get the KYC for all the users before the deposits , at the time of account creation so that people know about it.


Don't like this if mandatory KYC is really implemented here, maybe they should do that on fiat deposits and or big amount of withdrawals but for small amount I discourage the users to provide their personal information since it's so dangerous to get compromised for unwanted events.

Maybe this KYC thing needed to be answer clearly since I'm sure many people avoids KYC for security matters.

We require all users to provide KYC before withdrawing. On request of the Bitcointalk member responses ITT we will update our T&C to provide more clarity on that.

Great website design and layout.

There are very few websites that deal with political betting and I guess yours also fall in that list now. By the way Welcome to the forum. I hope you start a signature campaign to promote your website soon.

Thank you Pakhitheboss. Our politics markets generate high volume for the US2020 elections. I think you'll like our rates. Please note that we have recently launched 2 signature campaigns:

I hope there is no KYC requirement in your site. Anyways the site look and design is very appealing n attractive.
If they're like SwC that doesn't really require the player information then that's better.

they have KYC but you are not required(unless they deemed it necessary) to give your information upon registration. I am not a huge fan of KYC I understand why these gambling sites require them or request them from their gamblers from time to time. what I don't like about it is when these gambling sites use it as an excuse to unreasonably withhold a gamblers funds, saying that they found suspicious activity from the account just because the account won a huge amount.

Fair enough, we have changed the link to just www.pokershares.com so Bitcointalk members are directed to the landing page instead. Thanks for your feedback.

The deposit limits are displayed in the deposit section. It's 10 EUR for the Fiat options and there's no minimum for BTC.
Excellent stuff op. The speed at which you are answering poster queries here is worth appreciating and my queries have all been cleared too. Site looks better now without the distracting registration page.

I observed that you guys are advertising the site through several signature campaigns which is a positive move. If possible, try to provide more popular cryptocurrencies other than BTC as payment methods in the near future.

thanks for the kind words Smiley and noted re; more cryptocurrencies

Checked your site out and was greeted with a registration page which distracted me. Had to close it in order to check the site which was annoying. I advise getting rid of that since the site needs to capture gambler interest in order for them to register.

Also, the FAQ page does not contain information regarding minimum deposit, withdrawal etc which need to be added asap in my opinion.

From your T&C:
Quote
If any amount is mistakenly credited to your Account we shall notify you and the amount will be withdrawn from your Account. If, for any reason, your Account goes overdrawn, you shall be in debt to us for the amount overdrawn.
Do you process payments manually? What do you do when users didn't submit any identification prior to withdrawal?

Quote
We reserve the right to request documentation to verify your identity prior to granting any withdrawals from your Account. We also reserve the right to request this documentation at any time during the lifetime of your relationship with us.
Can you please tell us the instances where you asked for verification? Does this include maximum withdrawals?

Quote
User must not transfer cryptocurrency to the address provided by PokerShares for the deposit purposes from a shared wallet or any other address not solely controlled by the user.
You might want to add an explanation why you don't allow direct deposits from exchange wallets or from other online casinos.

I'm guessing this is the case:
Quote
All withdrawals will be made to the original method of payment (deposit).



Deposits are processed automatically. Users need to be verified in order to request a withdrawal in accordance with our gaming license.

We have asked users for enhanced verification in the past when they requested very large deposit limits. Once users are verified we do not request further documentation when they win large and or wish to make large withdrawals. Please note that we also do not exclude winning players.

You can enter the desired BTC withdrawal address prior to requesting a withdrawal. I will ask our legal team why the T&C state to only deposit from addresses you fully control.

Please let us know should you have any further questions  Smiley

Welcome pokershares. I think I've heard you somewhere or from someone who have said things about you.
It would be a good tab if you allow guests or visitors to view the dice.

Thanks! We are very well known in the poker community but not outside of it. We're excited to become active on Bitcointalk.

Fair point re; viewing the Dice game, you can view it when you're logged in fyi. I will bring it up with our devs again. Meanwhile, here's a screenshot:

Let me be the first to welcome you (Pokershares) to the forum. I picked interest in your sites as it offers the opportunity to place bet on the incoming US election but I'm a little bit confused as I tried navigating to the politics menu on the site, I didn't get any information whatsoever or do we have to create an account before we get full access to the site because aa i tried leaving the registration page it gave me a warning.
I love how well the site is design, looking forward to your response to my inquiry.

Cheers QueenVera!
