"This special bet is not eligible for Toto ~ Parlay."
Why can't I make parlays with futures?

Unfortunately, it is not possible due to possible correlations.

I don't understand what kind of correlations can happen, other sportsbooks offer this but I don't want to play for them. That's interesting. I could make good parlays though.

Not sure if you guys are on right now, sent an email and got no response after a while. You guys normally respond really fast! Anyways, I have 2 transactions that have multiple confirmations and yet I still havent gotten paid. Looking to get paid so I can continue to bet on the Warrior/Cavs game! Any help is appreciated!

We were unable to pay out your bet because the payout address that you provided was invalid.

Apparently you entered an invalid character at the end of the address.

I was able to fix that for you and the payout was issued.

Please be sure to correct it before placing your next bet, as the last used address is automatically filled.

I hope this helps, feel free to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

I don't understand what kind of correlations can happen, other sportsbooks offer this but I don't want to play for them. That's interesting. I could make good parlays though.

I understand it as follows: Consider you place a draw-no bet on Mexico in tonight's match against Venezuela (or a home or draw), and you parlay it with Mexico to finish 1st in the group. If the first happens, the second event happens too (since Mexico is already on top of the group, and if they either win or draw against Venezuela they will still top the group).

I suppose that is an "unfair" way of increasing the odds in some bets, and I suppose DirectBet wants to prevent users from arbitraging bets (which would be more likely if such kind of parlays were possible).

No, you misunderstand the situation. Of course same team/type bet is not allowed in anywhere.
Example of future parlay:
Top 2 Finish - England @ 1.21
Group Winner - Germany @ 1.39
Top 2 Finish - Croatia @ 1.75
Dual Forecast - Belgium/Italy @ 2.04
There's no correlation here. Other sportsbooks allow this parlay, Directbet don't. That was the problem.

You are correct, there is no correlation in your example but unfortunately our system is not programmed to tell which future bets correlate and which not and therefore all future bets are currently excluded from parlays.

Hello, 48 hours ago I placed some bets, In the past I always used low transaction fees, like 0.00001 BTC for a 2$ btc transaction, it always got confirmed in some hours and payout were fast, but with the latest bet I did I've been stuck by the big block of new transactions that actually are spending a really higher fees, as of now I can see on blockchain that there is approximately 30k unconfirmed transactions and the number is rising, I have some bets placed that are waiting confirmations from more than two days, and payout is on hold.
How system works in those scenarios? It waits for confirmations also if it takes longer?

If your bet status is "Settlement in Progress" it usually means that we are waiting for your initial bet transfer to have 1 confirmation in the network, before issuing the payout. This is required to ensure that we actually received your initial wager.

Usually, it takes a few seconds or minutes for your initial bet transfer to have 1 confirmation, so by the time your bet wins, it should get paid without delay.

However, the Bitcoin network is currently overloaded. If you send your bet transfer with low fees, it may take hours or even days to confirm.

Your bet will be paid out automatically as soon as your initial bet transfer is confirmed by the Bitcoin network.

Your playing wallet is also experiencing the same issues, I won one bet and a push on the Romania vs Switzerland match (which ended at least 15 minutes ago) and the status of the bet has been "settlement in Progress" since then. I wanted to use that BTC to place some bets on the upcoming France vs Albania match .

By the way, why do not you keep the transaction within your own wallets, outchain (OK, I have no idea if I understand it properly, what I mean is not actually moving the funds but updating the balances artificially or something, like I think/have heard Coinbase does).

We pay very high fees for withdrawals made from our Playing Wallet, but the Bitcoin network is currently overloaded and you may have to wait a few blocks. Please PM me your bet ID if you have not received your payout by now.

Thanks for your suggestion, this is something we may add in the future.

I'd like to join it but you want exact 100 bets. That's too much for me. It's hard to make 100 bets in only Euro 16 and Copa America games. I have to play almost every match to see 100 number and %1 minimum bet is hard to achieve. I imagine I lose a lot of money trying to catch up 100 bets and %1 minimum wager.

Hi DirectBet,

Please pay out my winning bet.

Here is the betID:

Please look into this pending payout.

Thanks.

Whats the deal with no paying out won bets after the initial transaction has many confirmations?

[DirectBet]

Hi DirectBet,

Please pay out my winning bet.

Hi supernovva,

Thanks for betting at DirectBet.

Your bet has been settled and paid.

Whats the deal with no paying out won bets after the initial transaction has many confirmations?

Most bets are usually settled within an hour of the event completion and whenever possible during the event.

The above bet was settled and paid in less than an hour after the event completion.

We do our best to pay out bets instantly within minutes of the result, but sometimes it takes a little bit longer.

Hi dukeneptun,

Thank you very much for your feedback

Please note that all members receive a 70 mBTC participation prize and additional prizes through our new Knockout Side Competition, so the Championship has really great value for all.

That is in addition to the chance to win the Top 7 prizes.

You can place several (different) bets on the same game so it should not be that difficult to reach the exact 100 bets.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you need anything.

Thanks a lot !

All the Best,

Michelle

DirectBet appears to be a nice sportsbook 

I have a problem, i think that i bet with the receiving wallet address blank or something like that becouse after 1 confirmation past 45 minutes i have not received the btc and in the bet ID appears Settlement in Progress. I have another bet that is confirmed but i match is not finished and i don't know if i win it will be payed correctly.

How much time do you take to response an email? @DirectBet
