Jeremy what are the approximate limits here? I'm thinking of getting back into sports betting at BTC site.
Nitrogen it's great how you showed there were some contest winners but even better would be if some of them popped on here to say they had won. Otherwise all winners could just be nitrogen aliases. (See Anonibet accusations)

Hey, Jeremy. I can attest that I am Nitrogen user 33159. I managed to make my way onto the leaderboard despite not hearing about the contest until the middle of the tournament. In case you are concerned that I am a shill for Nitrogen, take a look back at some of my prior posts. I was sufficiently skeptical just a couple of weeks ago that I was asking about trying to set up a third-party hedge system to protect against the possibility of a fly-by-night sportsbook. If you go further back in my posts to December/January, you'll see that my skepticism has its roots in the Bitcoinsports debacle, which I had the displeasure of participating in. In the interest of complete transparency, I should point out that Nitrogen has not yet paid out the 1.53 BTC contest winnings. This is exactly as stated in the contest terms, which say that they will pay out on July 26. Since they paid out my > 5 BTC in winnings yesterday and let me withdraw it within minutes, I have very little fear at this point that they will be moving to Bermuda on 7/25. Nevertheless, I'll come back here and let everyone know when they pay out. As for the other contest winners, I think that the individual bet slips linked on their blog are pretty convincing. The only other winner with whom I have personally corresponded is member # 200. I can say with great confidence that he is also not a Nitrogen insider. Our initial chat conversation centered around a bad line that we had both noticed. Once we burst each other's hopes that each of us was the only one who had noticed this "golden" opportunity, we brought it to the attention of Nitrogen support. They generously offered him an unsolicited tip for this, by the way, as they did to me in a similar circumstance a few days later. In summary, I fully appreciate your skepticism about BTC sportsbooks in general, about NitrogenSports in particular, and about this looks-too-good-to-be-true World Cup contest. However, my personal experience with them has been excellent to date, and I have the Bitcoins to prove it! They are subject to occasional DDOS attacks, but I consider this part of the territory. I'm sure they'll reduce the impact of these over time. P.S. I was robbed of 2.5 BTC on my bet that Thomas Mueller would win the Golden Ball, but the corrupt, greedy, secretive organization responsible for that theft was FIFA, not NitrogenSports!

Anywhere from .25 to 1 BTC on Saturday night televised sporting events. One of my few problems with them.

Anywhere from .25 to 1 BTC on Saturday night televised sporting events. One of my few problems with them. Never seen anything that low before a game. It's true that very early (2-3 days out) their limits are low but 3-4 hours before game time the limits usually hit 2 BTC.

I'll report on my experiences.

Hi fishface, sorry you are having issues connecting. It has been up for a while, but depending on where you are geographically, it can sometimes take a few minutes/hours for the changes to propagate globally. You can try clearing your cookies / cache and reconnect, or try a different device. Thanks for understanding!

I'm not aware of any payout problems. I believe there was one guy complaining that one of his withdrawals was flagged for manual processing, but that it was resolved quickly. I can't recall now whether I saw that in the Nitrogen blogs or in a forum here. It seems like not all users have similar expectations from BTC books; some want complete bilateral anonymity, including freedom from any AML practices at all. Personally, I would be willing to put up with AML practices that parallel current practices at sportsbooks denominated in fiat currency in exchange for knowing that the sportsbook is a real company staffed by multiple humans in a known location. Nitrogen seems to be closer to a fiat sportsbook in terms of its own anonymity, so I expected that they might manually review very large withdrawals. However, my withdrawals from Nitrogen have always been immediate. When I withdraw to a Blockchain wallet, the coins appear in my account within a few seconds. This is clearly too fast for any manual processing or approval at all. If anyone has been experiencing non-instant withdrawals, that would presumably indicate either a server issue somewhere or some sort of flagging of their account in particular. I've made ~10 withdrawals in amounts from 0.05 to >4 BTC and all were equally fast. Since they also credit deposits instantly (even with 0 confirmations), it would be practical to use Nitrogen as a sportsbook while using, e.g., Blockchain for your wallet.

All withdrawals should be instant, with the exception of when you're betting on eSports (DoTA 2, Starcraft 2 and League of Legends). These are occasionally flagged for a manual review, but all reviews are completed within 24 hours. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
