I use a site thats a betting site where i deposit and withdraw via bitcoin. The site like most sites gives you the current rate when you deposit/withdraw. Obviously depositing isn't a big deal since when you deposit, the price is set... though it may take a while for funds to show up in your account. Now when its a withdraw, usually it takes a bit of time before the bitcoins hit the wallet. Though many times its quick, certain times it can take a while. I see at the moment, bitcoin is going up very fast. If thats the case, is it smart to not withdraw bitcoin yet? Because as of now its $448. But if i request bitcoin at that price, let say it takes a while for the bitcoin to hit my account. Then the price is $460... then i lost quite a bit if i withdraw a lot of bitcoins. Is that logic correct?
So when withdrawing bitcoin and let say that site doesn't send the bitcoin to you very fast as in under 30 minutes, is it better to wait till bitcoin price is stable or even dropping before you request the bitcoin?
The other thing that i wanted to know is for all you people who receive bitcoin, what is the average time it takes for you to receive it? Say a site sends you bitcoin or a friend send you bitcoin right now, on average, how long does it take? What is the fastest time it takes?
Fixed BTC exchange rate for the withdrawal of fundsJETWIN was the first Bitcoin bookmaker company to offer its customers accounts not only in BTC, but also in the traditional currencies, such as, USD, GBP and EUR. Deposits are made quite easily – they are instantly processed and the customer knows the exact exchange rate, as it is indicated on the deposit form. However, the situation with withdrawals is different. Only 95% of the payouts are made instantly, and, moreover, the system uses the exchange rate that is actual at that moment when bitcoins are physically sent to the customer, and not the one fixed at the time of the request. This means that the gamer is unable to foresee the exact exchange rate for the withdrawal.
This situation has raised many questions among customers, and the main requirement was as follows: the customer must know the exact currency exchange rate at which the funds will be converted during the withdrawal. Considering all the above, we have decided to improve the situation by implementing a new logic as to how the withdrawal process should be changed. As a result, we made it possible for the customer to decide upon the fixed exchange rate that funds should be converted at during the withdrawal, regardless of whether the transaction is instant or not. The customer should confirm the exact amount when filling out the withdrawal form.
