Normally i got my money directly after a match. Now have still nothing after 45 minutes, is there something wrong?

BTC was sended to 1LVyJBTH8bbpBtJVURNt5vxiWN5v5KVpkc

Your bet has been settled. Bitcoin Payout Transaction ID #  240e91a252933aa6ea8d062f65fcb6d27ee88228830b146cb407ff66d1ece484

Winnings are sent immediately and automatically at the completion of the game.

Please allow me to explain why your payout was delayed by a few extra minutes :

Before we issue a payout, we first wait for 6 confirmations to appear in the Bitcoin network for your initial bet transfer, as recommended by the Bitcoin protocol, to ensure that we actually received it permanently.

Usually, by the time the game is over, there are already more than 6 confirmations so that's not an issue, but sometimes, especially when betting in-play towards the end of the game, you might win but have to wait a little longer for the network to approve your bet transfer.

That's what happened with your bet. When it happens, an appropriate message appears in the Bet Status page. As soon as your bet transfer was confirmed 6 times, the payout was issued.

I'll post an announcement here when it becomes available.

Just wanted to pop by and post some feedback.


I used directbet today for the first time for some horse racing bets (rare to find these at a bitcoin book). Winners were paid out very quickly with no fuss at all. Based on this, I'm going to switch books to here for the time being seeing as others have been very unreliable as of late. They have a nice selection of markets aswell on football(soccer) and will make use of this tonight!

Keep up the good work!

I'm investigating why your bet transfer was not processed.

I sent you a private message as I need some more details from you.

If it turns out that we received your transfer but it was not processed due to a technical fault on our system, we will refund your bet regardless of the result, and also send you any winnings if it turns out that your bet is a winner. So if there was a technical problem on our end, don't worry, you are on a freeroll!

Could you allow people to keep a balance?
Perhaps as an option?

Can you, or anyone else here who voted for this feature, provide some more details as to why you prefer keeping a balance on our website ?

If the reason is to avoid / save on the Bitcoin transactional fees, please note that the Bitcoin developers have announced that the transactional fees will be significantly reduced on the next release, so this shouldn't be an issue.

If there is another reason, please do let me know. We consider adding this feature and would like to hear why you prefer it. Thanks.

I actually like the current system without keeping a balance.
This minimizes counterparty risk (not that I don´t trust you, but I really see this as a great advantage to be able
to keep my gambling BTCs in my own bitcoin wallet).

Instead I would really love it if you would offer more bet options.

Sometimes in soccer matches there are very obscure betting options (I remember a spain women soccer match) and it had the following bet options
-over/under 2,5 goals
-over/under 6,5 goals

It would be really nice to have had the options O/U 3,5 goals, O/U 4,5 goals as well
It was of course already nice to have 2 options, but it doesn´t make much sense to of these two and not offer the rest (and with a 4 goal gap between the two options)...
(I have seen this with quite a few games)

Therefore rather than a "keeping a balance" feature I would like even more livebets / betting options for the already available live bets.

Nevertheless I really love your site  

(and in the said soccer match I bet Under 6,5 goals and the match finished 5:2     )
But that of course was simply bad luck and I was a fool for betting on a ridiculous 1.06 odd

problem was clear, i figure out the problem 
my bet was refunded to my wallet
my bet was not confirmed because the odds was changed when i'm transferring BTC to your address.
next time i'll sure check Flexible Odds options before bet so i can choose my odds in asian handicap
not the fault of your system, so i don't deserve to get freeroll. Thanks anyway
even the match was draw (PSG -1 and the final score was 2-1  )
Nice betting experience, thanks for great service! I'll help ypu to promote your site

I keep a lot of money on Nitrogen/Coinbase, that take a while to send withdrawals, so they aren't exactly plausible for live betting.

Sometimes in soccer matches there are very obscure betting options (I remember a spain women soccer match) and it had the following bet options
-over/under 2,5 goals
-over/under 6,5 goals

When you see that happens it means that we don't have reliable odds for the bet or can not offer competent odds at that time and therefore the bet is temporarily removed.

The availability of bets, especially in-play, is dynamic, so if you can't find a particular bet, check back later by refreshing the event page.

Anything wrong with the site? Can't get on the horse racing pages

As a result of the recent update we have now significantly increased the number and types of bets available across the board.

Excellent, working now. Thanks!

I'm pretty new to direct bet but particularly interested in how you don't keep any money "on site" so everything is safe and secure. 

Is there any way to see events/games that are currently "live"?  without having to click on each individual sport.  This would be a HUGE positive for me to make iteasier if I have some free time, to get in on the action.  Thanks

We do not keep Bitcoins on our website at all. For security reasons, I can not reveal further information on our security procedures. However, please note that :

• Our automated system makes sure there is always sufficient funds to automatically and immediately pay off your bets as soon as the result is determined.
• Unlike other Bitcoin sportsbooks, we don't take long term deposits. We keep your Bitcoins during the lifetime of your bet only, which typically lasts 1-3 hours. This greatly decreases the total amount of your Bitcoins that we posses at any given time.
• We have Bitcoins in cold storage to cover any kind of emergency.
• We have fiat currency in cash on standby ready to be converted to Bitcoins if needed.

In regards to your other question, do you want to see all the games that are currently live from all sports mixed together in a single page ? Currently they are grouped by sport.
