So should I make this bet?

[romero121]

Such a reputed bitcoin gambling website never does such thing in a stupid manner. It might be due to technical issues, that they might be not able to recognize. For that reason might have informed that it can't be withdrawn. Soon assistance might be provided, they won't ruin their own hard earned reputation.

So basically the gambling site managed to get you to do what they wanted:

Stall you long enough to tempt you to bet again and lose your winnings.

A shame it happened, next time better be more patient.

The site should be labelled as a scam and their license pulled from operating as a casino. PERIOD!

I have separated from all the bull sh*t that they are pulling that cost me something that is more valuable than that amount of bitcoin that was held by them in the account for the last 40+ hours now, and that is TIME!
Waste of words, waste of patience, waste of money and especially a HUGE WASTE OF MY TIME with them!
That is what pisses me off the most about this right now!

I have moved on and used DirectBet for the first time and it was just simple as putting in a bitcoin address where I would like my funds to be sent and that was it! None of this complete and utter bullsh*t with "Oh by the way, we need your identification to pay you now!" AFTER I FREAKING WIN AND HAVE OVER 1.15BTC IN MY ACCOUNT BALANCE!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!
WHO IN THE HELL PULLS THIS SH!T TO THEIR PAYING CUSTOMERS!
If I knew that they can deny a players winnings after they win with coming up with this farce of a operating of a casino sportsbook, then I would of placed my bets with another online sportsbook like DirectBet and not have to worry about about if my bet will win and on top of that having to worry about if it will even be paid after the fact.
Total failure of a sportsbook casino on all counts!

That's pretty shady of them, knowing or hoping based on your history that you will get an itchy finger and end up risking your winnings on further bets, basically taking advantage of the gambling man.

Good move to go elsewhere and this thread should help to warn others to be careful with this sportsbook.

[piloder]

I also used to think sportsbet quite trustable till now, but after looking this thread and OP's problem i am quite upset of them. Why they need your personal details? Does 1BTC+ is bigger amount for them  

Oh they finally forced you to loss all your winnings in multiple parlay betting that is really sad to hear from reputable site.

[Caladonian]

i don't know why they needed to hold your winnings and let you just to keep playing what if you keep on winning? so it will added some time to keep holding just thinking about it because its only 1 btc and they needed personal info and like what i have read you keep playing from that site and you don't have any problem depositing your btc i still believe that they will take care of this mate. good luck

I have moved on and used DirectBet for the first time and it was just simple as putting in a bitcoin address where I would like my funds to be sent and that was it!

Now you have made a better choice, Directbet is always my first choice they don't have bullshit KYC policy also you don't have to wait for hours to get your balance updated. When game get settled you will receive your winnings in your bitcoin address directly, also their odds are pretty good.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Much better to wait for sports bet responce. honsetly you are lucky today that you made a large profit..
And i think sports bet will not run with your funds because i think they are still running signature campaign with escrowed funds here and they are still reputative just like other said better to wait for their responce and maybe they are activating high withdrawal and change into manual withdrawals..

That's EXACTLY why I chose them to continue with any of my future bets.
They don't instate any rules after you have your funds in their hands and you are at their mercy. Even after the fact that I submitted all this information that they requested and they still are questioning things that have nothing to do with my activity with this account. It is really frustrating and having to wait nearly 43 hours now for a response from them and was informed that when I asked to get an answer from their security department but right now it was "outside their business hours." They don't have anyone available to do anything right now about it so I have to wait an additional 15 hours until they get back? And what! If this happened on a Friday night I would have to wait until Monday morning THEIR TIME to have this resolved? Why would that be my concern about getting access to my account withdrawal resolved?!
Just PURE BULLSH!T FROM A SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL SPORTSBOOK! PREPOSTEROUS!

[Betwrong]

Go all in man, there's no rush better then the feeling of going all in and winning! Best feeling in the world.

Oh, man. I'm really sorry that you are thinking that way, because it's so typical for a gambling addict. I hope you were joking though.

What I really can't understand in the OP is why it was impossible to withdraw the winnings? The OP is saying of this like it was predetermined, but why?

When I registered on their site I deposited fine of course and won some btc in a rather large bet so I cashed out.
Then just 3 days later I finally won a larger parlay for 0.495btc.
I then proceeded to withdraw the entire amount of the account when I noticed it did not go thru like the one just 3 days before did within less than 5 minutes. Then I see it was denied in the transactions page.
So I questioned online support and they said to read the email sent to me from the security department.
I uploaded the information they needed to them and then they are still questioning my account access to my requests to withdraw 44 hours later.
So yes I just knew that this would happen and did this so to see what they have to say for themselves now. They still have not responded so I do not expect them to do anything with my account as it is.

If they just gave me an answer from their representative here and not side step my inquiries from the start this would not have gotten to this point.

The only way that they can possibly have me retract everything that I have said about their reputation as a reliable and honest sportsbook site is to reimburse me the 1.16638btc which would include the 16mbtc that has still not been refunded to me under their own promotion rules since my account has been like this since monday night.

This is the problem with new gambling sites. When their bettors win big time they question the gambler why he won that much and ask so much other questions and verification. Also, there are some gambling sites that suddenly change the TOS of their bonuses and the game itself just to prevent some big winnings to be cashed out. You should file a scam accusation here and tell your story so that people would know. Just remember to get all your proofs first. So they won't be able to delete your proof.

Well it has officially been past the point of their "48 hours you have to wait on our team to get back to" excuse. And nothing has come of it so far. So I do think what I have all along and that they will not grant access to the withdraw access to the account and have block instated. It is just hopeless for a player to do anything when this happens because you are at the mercy of these casinos when they can just lock someone's account for no good reason whatsoever and just because they can for "their given reasons".
The only thing I did get from them is a pm here from their promoting member saying to contact their live chat support. I have been doing that since Monday and it has been over 72 hours now with nothing done about this. Do I get any compensation for my grief and my losses of any bitcoin that has happened since then, no! And with the surge of bitcoin prices since then I do not expect anything to come of this.
What a terrible year so far it has been and not even a week into it.
On top of that all my directbet parlays lost last night so even more losses on top of this.

[gabmen]

Well that's a bit bittersweet dude. What's the point of winning a big amount if you're not able to use it. I suggest you hold to your winnings first. Don't bet it all because you may lose your earnings and if a time comes when they allow you to withdraw, that's something you may regret because you've already earned quite a lot.

if i have 1 bitcoin, i think i don't want to go all in but i will only use half or small part for make a bet because i am to afraid to see if somehow i only get loss. i think its because i don't have much of bitcoin so i don't think its good for me to directly get loss with 1 bitcoin. but its depend on what OP want and i only can say good luck with your bet and i hope the OP can win the games.

[LLec]

This has not been resolved and in doing so they made me lose my over 1btc with this tactic of asking after having accumulated this amount in my account then finding any possible way not to need to pay it out these winnings. That is just not right!

You can read about this on their promotions page to warn others that are just going in blindly trusting this site as other members are noticing now too that they can not be trusted!

Well Sportsbet. I pm'd your member here about this issue with my withdrawal and you did not both to even send me a pm back on it.
So I went to your live chat support like so many have mentioned to do when you are have having issues with your account. They tell me they can not help me.
So what now?
I want to be able to withdraw my winnings from my account but nobody from your site has been available to give me any resolution on this.
So now I am thinking since I want to withdraw double of what I wanted to when my withdrawal was cancelled yesterday by your site administrators,
You are not going to allow me to do it.

image sharing sites
You haven't even given me my moneyback from the EPL New year's promotion yet or you ever will?
Once all have been resolved and I have been paid what I have put into your site then I will post here the results.
If anymore excuses of not paying a customer of yours comes out of this then your reputation as a reliable & honest site will be the same as what cloudbet's has become here.

Hi LLec,

We are very sorry for the delay!  

Please check your inbox, we have sent you a pm with further instructions

Cheers,
sportsbet.io

Why did you delay his withdrawal request? You need his identity proof and address proof? I heard your sote requires such things, which I consider unfair to bitcoiners, they play in bitcoin, anon is the spirit. No mpre censorship please

Almost all sites reserve the right to ask KYC verification if they think that there is something "special" with the account. In this case sportsbet as their terms they will ask you KYC verification for withdrawal exceeded or equivalent to 10btc or lower amount if it is needed.
And I dont think this issue is about verification thing as his withdrawal is far from 10btc. But to make it sure lets just wait for LLec to confirm what is happening with his withdrawal.

okay LLec problem almost done , i just wonder what was he did causing the withdrawal delayed as i have made withdrawal couple times (not much) and all went smooth . within 5 minutes withdrawal processed same amount everytime like 500mbtc to 1 btc. i never asked for KYC . sportsbet.io best and beast with its promo everymonth! however goodluck for everyone!

They eventually will if your requesting amount is big. And I don't mean 1btc either.
10mbtc is big for this rip off scamming sports betting site.
Once you get more than 50mbtc in your account they will out of the blue deny your request for no reason and ask you to send in your I.D including your freaking passport and proof of address so they can match it to their extensive logs of ip addresses that they catalog to track you down. This kind of behavior should be against the law and the sites that do this offering "an entertainment service" should be prosecuted under the highest extent of the law.
Oh wait! They are in some country that laws can not touch them so they know they are safe. These bastards will not pay you if they do not want to. You will soon find that out the more you use them.
They are bitcasino.io. This has been proven when logging into their support chat and the exact same person with the same name started chat and talking linguistically in the exact same way.
That is a sure fire way to submit evidence of this accusation against sportsbet.io / bitcasino.io / vegascasino.io are under the same ownership!
Here this thread is comparing untrusted casinos and has them as not being one to trust with your winnings and I can attest to this. After winning 1 btc with them then they freeze your funds in the sportsbet.io account and deny your request for withdrawals for no apparent reason.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1760254.0
"bitcasino.io - 2.0BTC / Yes / No (manual) / Full ID required before wagering / Bitcasino seems to respect your privacy for small wagers, but for large wagers they actual freeze your whole account prior to allowing wagers and will require full ID verification."

Watch yourself with using this casino even if they fool you with these stupid phoney promotions, where you have seen the other posts from other members, they don't give you the refund on the cashback promotions and you have to literally beg them for it. Come one! please if you can not operate a competent casino just stop promoting yourself as one that can pay their gamblers after they use your site. Your site is complete FRAUD and should never be trusted with any amount of money. Not 1mbtc minimum that is needed to place a bet not with 1150.87btc that I had in my account that was frozen just 20 hours after I was able to withdraw 60mbtc.
Makes absolutely completely no sense!

The reviewer found out they're asking for KYC after the winnings are in their account. Which is a scamming tactic by these casinos. So that in it's self is questionable activity right then and there!
If they want to make it this way then ASK for this BEFORE the customer has any amount in their accounts. Even before a deposit is made. This in it's self is a scamming thing to do to anyone with any sense at all!

Exactly! If it is required by law to prove your identity, then they need to prove it BEFORE they let you deposit. But I know that their

Curacao license scam 1668/JAZ do not require anything.

Only if you want to withdraw over $10,000 they would need to check because of AML. I have never heard of a bank that let you create and account and deposit anonymously and when you want to withdraw, they ask for proof of your identity.

Yes it is scamming tactic they should have this written in their Terms so that you can read it before you make any deposit there. Asking verfication for small amount like 1BTC is really unusual from sites like sportsbet which are giving away many bitcoin through contest, i think they may also ask those contest winners to submit their id to get their winnings out  

I don't like to get stucked my bitcoin there so from now on sportsbet will be no option for me to bet on.

really never good to hold fund in a strange online casino ,
i just try the site couple weeks ago seems legit to me ,
don't know what happened to him , is he found guilty or something?
i wish one of sportsbet.io staff can take a look here and make a clarification or someone really have to tag them red

[Caladonian]

i think it's not right for OP to keep playing his winnings now he already been busted, he have the rights to enjoy his winnings i don't know why any staff from that website are unable to react with this issue here and explain why he needed to comply with that rules as OP send his btc without question or without providing those info, sometimes tactics from casino needs to be revealed in order to be well informed.

[btcdiggingmaster]

Really that was amazing better contact support because if you try to play again means you will loose those money also. It's better quit the game and try to withdraw that amount, if you want to play again try with small amounts if possible.
