BRIEF UPDATE:
BitBook is all about total honesty and full disclosure, so here goes...we got a lot of traffic tonight (which is awesome), but it overwhelmed our servers. We will be upgrading tomorrow, but because of this we are currently unable to grade finished bets and have 2 bets that were graded incorrectly. This will all be corrected very soon.
We realize that we could probably not mention this and there is a good chance it would go unnoticed, but we would rather share everything with our users.
Thanks so much. We'll have everything up and running ASAP.

A few other suggestions:
* You should probably hyperlink the site in your signature, so people can access it w/o copy and pasting it.
* On the site, the BB link to the home page is very hard to see. Can you change it to a different color or something?
* Do you / do you plan on offering the buying and selling of points?

Really like the interface and layout. The buttons look similar to blockchain.info haha, probably a simple thing to do (not a techie by any means). I don't know why but I really like the "buttons" and lines lookm similar to the blockchain.info (probably just me) Placed first bet for the 2BTC max, was paid within an hour of the end of the game (very quick for a "btc" sportsbook, definitely a plus, although it was one of the final games of night so could be coincidence). Two deposits, both cleared within 20 minutes (1 or 2 confirmations at the time for both). Did two cashouts, both were quick, 2nd lagged a bit after submitting (for only about 30-60 seconds on the page). So far so good. Just reporting my first day experience using the site. Question, and no harm no foul as to the answer imo, do you grade all bets couple times a day (like end of night, end of daytime) or is it individually at the end of each game?

- Great suggestion on the hyperlink in my signature. Added!
- Also, good call on the BB link. "Home" also links back to the main page, but I agree that we could make it clearer. I'll play around with it a bit
- We are definitely considering offering the option to buy/sell points. Our first focus has been getting the fundamentals in place and having super quick, seamless transactions so users can access their funds quickly and easily. Soon we will spend more time adding cool features and betting options. Is this something you'd really like?
Thanks for the thoughts! Please let me know if you have anymore ideas or suggestions. |

Glad you're liking the site! Currently the bets are being graded in batches. Most bets are graded very quickly after their game ends, but we cannot yet guarantee to grade every bet immediately. Soon we hope to take some steps to grade all bets within minutes of completion! Thanks again for the kind words! And BTW, We are now offering lines on all NCAA tourney games for both today and tomorrow.Good luck betting! |

Any suggestions here. I tried to send 15 BTC through coinbase 10 hours ago. For some reason all my coinbase transactions are stuck on pending. When I deposited through BlockChain it went through almost immediately.
Is there a way to cancel my deposit from coinbase? I'm still very new to how bitcoins work. If I can then I'd deposit through BlockChain.

Coinbase can definitely be slow sometimes! I don't think there is an easy way to cancel, but your best bet is trying to contact their support. The good news is that if you deposit to BitBook using BlockChain and then the Coinbase transaction eventually goes through you can immediately withdraw that deposit. We process withdrawals very quickly, so you can send those coins wherever you'd like once it goes through. Please let me know if I can help with anything! |

We don't have a minimum deposit amount, but we do have a minimum withdrawal amount of 0.01 BTC since we pay the transaction fee to make transfers as quick as possible. Please feel free to deposit, bet, and withdraw a small amount to test out the site. |

Hi, I thought withdraws were instant? I have a withdraw that says false under the processed column. Just wondering how long it takes before its sent.

I think the wording that we have is a bit confusing..."false" really means "processing". Sorry about that. I'll update it to be a bit more clear. It looks like both of your withdrawals have now been processed, so you should have the funds as soon as the transaction is confirmed by the blockchain! Good luck with future bets! |
