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

[haankoammu]

The idea of a sportbook running through Tor is amazing considering how much the darknet is a part linked and closely related to BTC, this will as well give better ability to avoid regulations and restrictions to customers based on their countries... The biggest issue would be legitimacy, I understand most BTC SB are not regulated but that kind of trust is just gained by time..

is there anyone here knows anything about TOR ?? it's been around 5 hours and I can't access the site

Sorry about that, we had some internet issues. We will look at getting a redundant connection sorted today.
Everything has been restored and back online now. Sorry for the unplanned outage.

That would be perceived as a red flag by all your customers and your potential customers.  Even if you are running an operation out of your garage, there's no excuse for you to be offline.  Sorry if that came out bad but it needed to be said.  You would be a better online sportsbook for it.

Yes, this does not look good at all. We're extremely upset with our upstream provider. We've ordered a second (different ISP) redundant internet connection today and will schedule a maintenance window to have this brought into our infrastructure tomorrow. We would like to again apologize to everyone and we're taking steps to mitigate this from happening in the future.

We've processed your withdrawal request immediately. Again we're very sorry to have let you down.
We're taking actions tomorrow to make sure this doesn't happen again. We hope to see you again.
Thanks for playing.

The concept is really interesting and you are offering a decent odds. I will try you for the weekend with 200-300mBTC.

IMO you need to do two things:

1. Increase the required turnover for your Bonus - now you are exploitable as your margin is 4%-8%
2. Sign a message from your cold wallet - Proof of Solvency - people will see that you've actually have some coins - to operate and for paying in case of them profit.

Good luck

P.S. Why you have so less games today? If I recall it correct, you had MLB, WNBA and stuff like this few days ago, when I saw your site for first time.

so after the last problem with the site I requested a withdrawal request of my last deposit and I received the funds instantly
but I still have a pending bet which was a win yesterday , I placed that bet like 21 hours before the match
so I don't know what's wrong with the site at the moment , cause as I said I received the withdrawal but still have a pending winner bet

Let me look into that for you now. If you have any issues with bets, please use the in-system messaging. We can have a confidential chat about it. I'll be in touch shortly.

so here is what's going on , two days ago I placed a bet on Bristol to win against fullham
the match was listed with the other games like Swansea vs Man city and Man Utd vs Northamaptown
now they are saying that I placed my bet on the upcoming match , and they don't offer bets on EFL games , which isn't  true cause I said all the matches yesterday were listed in their bookie , I even had pms here with this guys and told him that I was going to bet on Man UTD but their bookie went offline

here is the bet screenshot :


here is what their support are saying :



and here is the messages between us , I told him that my last deposit was for Man UTD game and now they say that they don't offer bets for that competition !!






so you can judge yourself

After a full review of all the football games we had posted that day, we post so many games and leagues I had to check. There was two games listed. One on EFL (22nd) (English League Cup - we classified it as, not EFL, I had to confirm) and one with Championship (25th). You bet on the wrong game. We've offered to refund the bet. The odds were vastly different between the games, surely if you're comparing other bookies you would think somethings not right.

This is an honest mistake and we're willing to refund the bet if you wish. Offer still stands.

first you said that you don't offer matches for that competition , and I'm telling you you offered all the matches yesterday
the match I bet on was with the other matches in the list !!! so there is definitely something wrong by your side
how am I supposed to trust what you are saying !! you still a new a bookie which is running on the TOR
yes mistakes happen but this is a killer one !! what next , I bet on UEFA champions league and then you tell me that I placed my bet on the next round !!

you and others can tell me if this is a professional way to handle the problems !!

We don't have it listed as EFL, we have it listed as English League Cup. I made a mistake in haste trying to figure out what went wrong. I didn't change your bet if that's what you're implying. All I can say is please make sure that the expiry of the game lines up with kickoff and the league is correct. Two teams playing each other within days in different leagues is stupid imho. If the game pays out on the 25th we have no problem with that. It's up to you.

it's not about the name of competition anyways , my point is that the game was listed with other games under the same tab !!
anyway , since it's funny as hell accident I will let it go but please organize your bookie cause as I said I'm 100% sure that the game was listed with yesterday's games

please refund my bet , I will look for another match

Just registered.
I like the concept even thought the design sucks. Placed a bet of the 1mbtc on an event. Let's see if I can make it to 0.15BTC

Hi Tstar, thanks for your comments

1. Yes, we know it favors the player heavily. We've worked out the turnover requirement should be about 25x, that would put us slightly ahead.
Because when you make a deposit of say 100mBTC you get credited 100, so now you've got 200 to play with, bet that and you're almost half way there to meet the turnover requirements. That being said, we've made it very attractive because we want players to signup and give us a try. You can think of the loss as advertising. We will take your advice in this instance as it's too easy to win. I think somewhere in the middle of 5 and 25 is right. 10x seems fair for both sides.

2. I'm not sure how to use the messaging feature. How does that work? You just want an address that shows that coins went into a wallet address? We operate several different wallets, we have one like a cash register till, one for larger payouts - we would transfer into the working wallet and one that's hosted as we use trading robots in the market.

We add games daily. I try to add as many games as possible but sometimes I get busy IRL. If there's something special you want to bet on, send a message using the in-house messaging system and we'll see what we can do. We try to be as responsive as possible.

Deposit Match - Update

After reviewing our initial deposit match offer we've decided to tweak it a little as suggested by Tstar.

Deposit any amount up to 1BTC and we'll match it.
Conditionally: Turnover 10x your deposit on games with odds greater than $1.50 (US -200).

Example: Deposit 100mBTC and we'll give you 100mBTC, you now have 200mBTC to play with.
Next, bet on games with odds of over $1.50 (US -200).
Once you've wagered/turned-over 1000mBTC you're eligible for withdrawal.

Signup now and take advantage before we 'tweak' it again
