Hey,
Just been playing blackjack, great so far. The only issue I have and not sure if its reported. The balance seems to update before all the dealer cards have been dealt. Takes away from the suspense but still a great game, very smooth

Did you guys raise the juice on college basketball to -109?
Did you guys raise the juice on college basketball to -109? Do you always post questions when the answer is 100% obvious? LOL jk lol. One would think a business raising its fee by 25% overnight would make an effort to explain it. The fact they don't bother is pretty fucking disturbing and is a very bad sign.

Casinobitco.in has always been one step behind the game in the gambling world in BTC. Last I decked they still do manual grading which is just absurd. They're offerings are little compared to nitrogen and funny, cloud bet too, a sportsbook which came way later than casinobitco.in. The one thing they had going for them for their great reduced juice of -107. Now with that gone only thing the site is good for is the free handout contests they have, nothing more or better than any sportsbook. Not to mention they made an announcement just to say bitbook is closing but we're not, pretty immature if you ask me. Bitbook was and always will be 10x a better sportsbook then casinobitco.in. Never will be even close in comparison. They bought two dead casinos too, one with only micro players and the other with no probably fair implemented. Stock holders must be drunk.

Thanks for the feedback. We did raise the juice in Basketball only from -107 to -109. We did this for a variety of internal reasons (you can read our monthly reports and find out exactly why); however, before doing so - we investigated the lines of the competition, some of which are quoted below and found that lines at -109 still beat them in most cases. That said, we are in the process of moving to a new line system which has much more advanced features and are hopeful it will be a welcomed addition to the Bitcoin community, especially with the absence of BitBook.biz who we agree was the leader of the pack in Bitcoin Sports Betting. Did you guys raise the juice on college basketball to -109?

I've been using Casino for about a week. The overall experience has been good. The odds and line availability are very good compared to the competition.
I don't have any reason to doubt that I will get paid, however I would like to let you know about my experience with your withdrawal process.
I had a good night last night and did a partial withdrawal to minimize exposure. The site accepted my withdrawal but said "it should be processed within 12 hours." My previous withdrawals for lesser amounts had been instant.
Now tonight I wake up and check and haven't received the BTC. I'm ok with that as they may want to review it. I checked the FAQ and they say withdrawals can take up to 24 hours. So now I don't know which it really is, 12 or 24.
Then I check my transaction history and next to the withdrawal entry it says "success" along with a link to blockchain.info. The link doesn't work though, nor do the links for any of my previous withdrawals.
Again, as long as I get paid I'm cool. But there is a lot of room for improvement here.

Hi justbc - there are some 'hooks' in the withdrawal process to validate a variety of undisclosed events that can transpire in the sportsbook and casino. Looking into your account, you've been red hot and a few bets came in after events scheduled to start, both of which triggered the withdrawal to get queued for review instead of processed automatically. After reviewing, we found no issues - it's common with UFC fights to start well after the "scheduled time", so we're processing the withdrawal now, you should see it in a few minutes. FYI - We've been operating for about 9 months with no issues of withdrawals - anyone can validate this through this thread, or in our monthly reports located in Havelock.

Noticed an error on your odds, just a technical one. For even money odds lines instead of saying 2.00 for the decimal odds payout, it reads 1.00 which is misleading obviously.

NHL. Noticed it twice I believe. Also, just tried entering in an amount and it won't accept any bet on that side. Interesting. My username is nothingbutstatistics on your site for the comp. Appreciate it.

Cool - we'll contact you via PM - give us a little bit tonight to sort it out, and course-correct. Going to be busy with some NCAAB stuff- but we'll be in touch!

Sounds good. Currently, no one can bet the over 5.5 for the dallas vs winnipeg NHL game 1.00 payout (even odds) and no one can bet under 5 minnesota vs boston NHL game, same error odds. Just to help you pinpoint exactly the error.

Looking into your account, you've been red hot and a few bets came in after events scheduled to start, both of which triggered the withdrawal to get queued for review instead of processed automatically.
Thanks for the details. I think that the right time to run checks against wagers is before grading though. Also, out of curiosity, have you ever cancelled a losing wager because it was placed too late? This is a fear I and others have... if a line is kept open too long and we bet it, not even knowing the event has started, we may be in a position where a loss is accepted, and a win is cancelled. I understand the difficulty in tracking all your offerings in real time, but closing lines when they should be closed is a critical feature of a good sportsbook IMO. FYI - We've been operating for about 9 months with no issues of withdrawals - anyone can validate this through this thread, or in our monthly reports located in Havelock.
Again, in no way did I mean to question the intent to pay out (received, thank you). But in my original post I mentioned 2 aspects of the user experience that were confusing. Can you touch on those, or better yet, improve them? Thank you for a good overall experience so far.
