[!] Ghostbook - Bitcoin Sports Bookie - Only on Tor [!]

[ghostbook]

Hi
Nice project ,will you add uk horse racing

We're purely a sports bookie. We love sports, horses are fun but sorry no, we wont be offering book these.

[ghostbook]

Any specific reason why you're doing this through Tor?
I assume to protect yourself from any possible legal repercussions or is there more to it than that?

And any plans to add Belgian footbal to the list? I see you do have the Dutch league

Hi, if you can point me to a reputable Belgian football bookie, I can match or even beat their odds if you want to make a bet.
Tor, yes you got it, to reduce licensing and bribery costs.

I was wondering, what are your projections about darknet gambling.  I know there's a need for this and that the barriers of starting one is way less than starting one in the regular internet.  But what about the growth of your business and darknet gambling market?  Where do you see it in the next 3 - 5 years and where do you see darknet gambling in 3 - 5 years?

You can pm me the answers if you don't feel comfortable answering my questions in public, thanks.

It certainly allows people to setup bookies or casinos easily, but unless they're willing to put in the hard work long-term they will not succeed. There's a lot of moving parts to run a sports book, it's not an easy undertaking. On the other hand, casinos are easy to setup, its just programming logic, you write the rules. As for these running over the darknet, I think there's room to grow, if people have new and innovative ideas, its easy to bring that to market.

I've considered having a coin-flip type game, but it's always open to interpretation on whether its fair or not. Random number generators on computers are not the same as real life. But with the sports book, everyone in the world can watch the game and agree on the outcome. There's no disputing the result. Last thing we want is someone saying we're cheating them. As you know its a long road to build trust and a moment to lose it.

As for 3-5 years, if people see success they will want to copy it and beat their competitors. This is good for everyone. When too much regulation and high costs push out good ideas and good people nobody wins. I hope to see more darknet services in the future. There's quite a good list of services on easy onions: easyonionsantyma.onion check it out.

Omg yes.  I have seen a lot of that in my days of playing online poker.  I used to laugh at them because I was winning at that time.  And we all know poker has a lot of skill involved in it.  But when all the coolers and the bad beats kept happening for me and getting cold cards to top that off, I was like 'this is no joke'.  So I quit playing for now and kept thinking it must be the RNG.  But no.  In the end I realized the games got tougher and I didn't evolve which is my mistake.

Anyway, back to topic.  And thanks for the link, I will check it out as soon as I'm on my laptop.

Deposit Match - Up to 5 BTCs!
When you make a deposit we'll match it (up to 5 bitcoins). Conditions are, you need to turnover 5x your deposit on wagers with odds of $1.50 (US -200) or greater. For example, if you deposit 100 mBTC, you need to place 500 mBTCs worth of bets with odds greater than $1.50 (US -200).

Guys, have you tried it? Is this site legit? 5 btc bonus with 5X rollover is very cool...

Thanks sepely,
1. yes we considered showing the start time but then we need to get into the whole timezone adjusted thing etc and decided not to. There's a summary list in the footer that shows the next 5 games to start. Maybe something that shows all games in order or start time?
2. when an admin messages you, a red arrow with a number will appear in the top right next to your name.

Add it to UTC or some other universal zone. Otherwise its very hard to underrstand which games are for today and which not.

On the main http://ghostbookdoyyvrs.onion/games/ page, its sorted by category then by date. Sorted by start time at the top.

Please offer Asian handicap odds in your football (soccer) offers.  Your sportsbook won't be complete without it.  If you notice, the people who like sportsbetting in this forum are mostly avid football fans.  They hold the biggest chunk of your market.  So I personally wouldn't mind seeing you guys starting as an exclusive football sportsbetting site taking bets from the games of top leagues in Europe.

[erpbridge]

I am still surprised your guys went on complete TOR with this. Most of the gambling sites I know of, don't have that concern of the illegal part as its only primedice and one another site which received a notice to be shut down. Other than that none of the other sites have ever had a problem.

Tor is good, but its not too flexible to pop it open on a mobile and bet on it. All the animcations and all also don't load on the site with Tor.

Yes, and also, total goals/scores, over/under is the least. Generally the simplest bookie offers these 3 lines, money line, asian handicap and over/under.

[elusive1]

How can you see what your limits are on different offerings?

ok, we'll see what we can do. it's true, we do cover many different leagues.
It takes a long time just to post and process the games that are there.

Create an account, then you'll be able to see the full site and all pages.

You can get Orfox, which is the android version of Tor Firefox. Or you can simply put a .to on the end and browse through their proxy. eg https://ghostbookdoyyvrs.onion.to/ this should work fine on mobile.

And yes, the entire website has no flash/jquery etc. Very slim/cut down just for Tor. The only script is the right hand game picker, which uses a javascript show/hide that sometimes doesn't work just need to whitelist the url to get that working.

I was making a deposit , and after that I entered the depo details but when I clicked process it seems that the site went down
will my deposit be credited ?? cause I noticed that you automatically change the deposit address for each transaction

also is there any solution for this ups and downs , I noticed that there are many times in the day where I can't open the site
it shows : Tor2web Error: Generic Socks Error
Sorry, we couldn't serve the page you requested. Please try again later or use a different tor2web server.

I have zero experience with TOR

EDIT : it's been 2 hours and I'm not able to reach the site !!!
