The site appears to be working better now although you may occasionally get a time out error. If that happens refresh the page to try again.

This does not affect bet confirmations and payouts.

Once you transfer in your bet it should be processed instantly and winnings are paid out quickly, as usual.

Once again we apology for the inconvenience. We're working to get it back to normal as quickly as possible.

[DirectBet]

I know we can use the Bitcoin Core to get bets placed relatively fast but it's still slower than other gaming sites because we need to go to your site, get the address, then go back to our wallet and send to the new address.  It really is hard to do on a mobile device. 

Have you considered having wallets yourself on your site?  Maybe you could make them last a max of 1 week or 2, so people don't store large amounts there forever or anything.

Thanks for your suggestion.

We're not too keen on taking deposits. We believe that your coins should be in your wallet under your control at all times.

How about making a single bet transfer for multiple bets ?

Directbet,
  I bet on the Blue Jays to beat the Astros. It was confirmed. After the Blue Jays won (not before the game, but after the game was over and the Blue Jays won), the site settled on a 'Push'. I won this bet. Can you fix this.

Bet was pushed because the starting pitcher has changed.

This is explained in more details in our Rules page :

http://www.directbet.eu/Rules.cshtml

All "Listed" bets will be void unless both named pitchers listed start as pitchers in the first fielding innings for their respective teams.

Alright, I understand that position.
But my coins were not returned until after the game's outcome. I'd have put it on the Blue Jay over any Astros pitcher and the bet was with flexible odds, so I'd have taken whatever the odds were.

We settle all MLB money line bets at the completion of the game. That's because for such bets our automated betting system is receiving the official result from our data providers only after the game is over.

The most important thing is that we follow our rules consistently, meaning that your bet would have been pushed even if the selected team lost.

We do not offer action money line MLB bets i.e. bets that are live no matter if the pitchers are changed before the game or not.

He should have paid you on this bet. Your bet slip lists Hutchinson and he started the game.

Our Baseball rules are very clear. Following is the relevant information from our rules page :

All "Listed" bets will be void unless both named pitchers listed start as pitchers in the first fielding innings for their respective teams.

For the named starting pitchers please refer to the Moneyline (Listed) bet.

This is a standard universal rule for "Listed Pitchers" bets. For the complete rules please visit http://www.directbet.eu/Rules.cshtml

The most important thing is that we follow our rules consistently, meaning that this bet would have been pushed even if the selected team lost the game.

For those of you who don't know, Peeps Place getting is paid by our competitors to spread false and misleading information on DirectBet in an attempt to discredit us.

You MUST list the pitchers on his bet slip at the time of the bet. If a pitcher isn't listed, then it's action for that team. Hutchinson was listed and started the game. Anyone that has made baseball bets for more than 6 months understands action and listed. You ALWAYS go by the bet slip.

 It was your fault for not listing the 2nd pitcher. No one knows when the change was announced since you failed to list the 2nd pitcher. A suspicious person may think that you would have counted that bet as a loss or push depending on the outcome since you didn't grade it until after the game.

Vegas and offshore would all consider that wager a winner.

In our Baseball rules page we specifically state that all "Listed" bets will be void unless both named pitchers listed start as pitchers in the first fielding innings for their respective teams. We also refer bettors to the Moneyline (Listed) bet to obtain the names of the two listed pitchers.

Another indication is the word "Listed" which is written clearly in the bet slip indicating that it's a listed bet and not an action or "One Listed" bet.

The most important thing is that we follow our rules consistently. We have also pushed bets on this game that would have turned to be losers had there was no change in the starting pitchers.

I told DirectBet and I'll state publically- I more than likely bet BEFORE the Astros changed their starting pitchers last night. I have no hard feelings regarding this bet.

So if a bet comes in at approximately the same time that the pitching change occurs and shows up on the Don Best or Sports Options screen then the player doesn't know whether he has a bet or not until after the game because your bet slips fail to mention the pitchers. It allows you to cancel winners and accept losers after the game. You need a lot more experience and aren't following any rules. You must go by the bet slip.

Once again, I made the bet early in the day, yesterday. The Astros changed their listed pitcher (I just looked it up) a couple hours before game time, AFTER I made the bet.
I was not aware of the rule, nevertheless, the rule clearly states that if a listed pitcher changes before game time, it will 'Push' the bet...win or lose.
I am now aware of this rule and have absolutely no hard feelings with the outcome.

tins- I'm glad that everything was fine in your situation. The point that I'm making with DirectBet is there will be times when bets are placed near the same time that pitching changes are announced and he will then be able to decide after the game whether the bet is good or not.

When you order the bet, you know who are the starting pitchers as they are displayed when you order the bet.

Now if there is a change in the starting pitchers then you know your bet will be pushed regardless of the game result.

Technically we only send out the refunds after the game is over, but you already know before the game even started that the bet will be pushed.

It allows you to cancel winners and accept losers after the game.

That's not technically possible because you already know before the start of the game whether your bet is live or push.

For those of you who don't know, Peeps Place is getting paid by our competitors to spread false and misleading information on DirectBet in an attempt to discredit us.

Peeps Place is running a disguised paid advertisement which he calls a "Sportbooks Ratings Guide". Ratings are paid for and the guide is sponsored by the 3 books that are rated on top.

If you go to www.PeepsPlace.com you will see that there are currently 3 Bitcoin Sportbooks that pay for banners and these books are also the top 3 rated books in his "ratings guide". This is not a coincidence as we've already proved :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=393147.msg7714802#msg7714802

Do you think that Peeps Place has the creditability to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks, given that those he rates the highest are paying him to advertise and promote them ?

Please take a moment to vote in the poll at the top of this thread. Hopefully there would be enough votes to convince him to stop this unethical practice.
