#1 RATINGS and REVIEWS of SPORTS BOOKS thread. Poster input appreciated.

[DirectBet]

"B" rated DirectBet.eu - has very few offerings, and has the worst format design I've ever seen for a sportsbook (other than some mobile apps).

One clicks on the sport, then see a list of games.
But the lines are not posted beside the games - that would be too easy.
It's necessary to click on the individual game to see that game's line.

Clearly designed and signed off by people who have never sportsbet in their lives.

Hi Gogo,

"has very few offerings" -

Our coverage is actually one of the most comprehensive among Bitcoin sports books.

As of this writing, we offer more than 200 Soccer games that you can bet on either before or during the game !

We offer bets on Horse Racing, Soccer, Tennis, American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Rugby Union and Mixed Martial Arts.

In addition, we offer special bets such as who will win a particular competition, player of the year, top goal scorer, next manager to leave position, etc.

Bets can be placed either before the start of the event or LIVE in-play while the event is in progress and we offer plenty of bets that you will not find in other Bitcoin sports books. For example, check our new comprehensive 24/7 coverage of horse racing from around the globe.

Finally, if there is a particular bet you're looking for and which you can not find we are open to suggestions. Please let us know and we will do our best to add it.

"But the lines are not posted beside the games" -

That's not true. In the list of events, you can hover your mouse on a particular event (or single click on a smart phone) and a menu on the right will open showing you all bets that are available for this event, including the odds. So you can see all bets and odds of a particular sport in a single page. You can then click on the bet you're interested on and it will take you straight to the bet order page. If you click on the event instead, it will take you to a page showing in details all the bets available for this particular event.

Once again, if you have suggestions as to how we can make it even more convenient, please do send them along, we take your feedback very seriously.

DirectBet takes 7.8 BTC on true live wagering. Not many books will do this including the established cash post up books. DirectBet isn't requiring players to post up bitcoins decreasing player's risk. DirectBet also has a perfect track record as far as payouts. One concern is the limited offerings for NCAA basketball especially with March Madness approaching.

Absolutely correct, and I was 100% wrong on this, and will delete my post so as not to give an incorrect impression of your book.


As far as offerings, as Peeps pointed out there is no NCAA BB. NBA only has moneylines, no spreads nor totals.
Likewise the non-USA BB is only moneylines, no spreads nor totals.

I wasn't looking at soccer - I see that you do have a lot of games listed there.


Will send you an email with other sports I'd like to suggest.


The anonymous direct bet procedure (no btc stored by you once bet is over, once event is over payouts sent to customer's wallet) is innovative and revolutionary. A great concept!

Thank you for the response and for correcting me on the site layout.

Thanks for your feedback.

We have now increased coverage on NCAA.

If you still can't find a particular bet, please check back later. More bets (and better odds) are available as we approach the game start time.

OK I understand now what you mean in regards to offerings.

Well, generally we do cover NBA and NCAAB and we do offer spreads and totals bets on them. However, certain bets are only added as we get closer to the game start time. You might have looked long before the game start time and therefore didn't see them.

That's said, in response to your feedback, we have now increased coverage on NCAAB and NBA. You will now see more bets available long before the game starts. It's still true though that even more bets (and better odds) will become available as we approach the game start time.

Thanks for your feedback and I look forward to your other suggestions.

Bitbook downgraded from B+ to B-. BitBook has increased the bookmaker's theoretical hold which isn't a good sign coupled with the recent DDoS attack. NCAA totals are now -112. There are also complaints of slow pays.

Sbobitcoin deserves to be an A. They role as an agent for bitcoin to play at Pinnacle and Sbobet who give best odds among others is truly unique. Unique in a way that they're just the first doing that.
They credit my btc to Hong Kong Dollar with a rate of 6000 back then and withdraw my winnings in bitcoin again. They did not take any charges or fees in any transactions made with them. Truly a good idea!
For me, they will stay as the best bitcoin sports book I've ever played into.

How long does support take to email back? I contacted yesterday about a deposit that has yet to be credited and have yet to get an answer or credit yet.  I'm starting to lose faith in this book.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think support wasn't in the office yesterday.

LOL perfect time to give the "office" the day off.

Half their players are in a frantic right now wondering where their money is and Freddy Prince takes the day off....

Still wondering if I'll ever get my 2.5 BTC back that were "hacked" from this joke of a sportsbook

I like how you keep updating the list.  Bitbook has taken a heavy hit lately.  I assume maybe they think they're immune but I have moved my business elsewhere.  Too much funny business going on, and grading taking so much longer than it used to, with the owner there apparently not thinking it's a big deal.

Casinobitco.in has increased their theoretical hold. The lines have gone from -107 to -109.

CASINOBITCO.IN (CBTC) ACQUIRES BIT777, PEERBET
CasinoBitco.in (Havelock Investments ticker symbol: CBTC) today announces the acquisition of popular Bitcoin Gaming properties Bit777.com, Peerbet.org, and Peerdice.org from Ultraplay, Ltd. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
CasinoBitco.in (CBTC) was the first Bitcoin-only gaming establishment to offer unique, provably-fair games along with a full Sportsbook. Operating successfully since May 2013, they offer HTML5 Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Video Poker and Hi-Lo in their Casino.
Bit777 is a Bitcoin-only Casino, designed by Ultraplay Ltd, offering over 50+ flash-based games and have taken in over 1 million bets!
Peerbet.org is a popular community-based Bitcoin Gambling site offering chat, raffles, a proprietary “Wheel” game, dice, and more.
Peerdice.org, an offshoot of Peerbet.org, is a unique new community “versus” style dice game with only a 0.3% house edge. Players select their rolls and bet against each other on the site. Since launching February 1st, the site has already supported over 250,000 P2P games.
CasinoBitco. in first announced their goal of growth via an acquisition on Havelock Investments in December 2013. Since then, CasinoBitco.in has been in negotiations with Ultraplay and other Bitcoin Gaming operators looking for a deal favorable to all parties involved. Ultimately, the acquisition of Bit777/Peerbet was a the best fit for CasinoBitco.in not only due to the strong financials Bit777/Peerbet bring to the table, but also the opportunity to bring awareness of CasinoBitco.in to over 15,000 registered users on Bit777/Peerbet.
CasinoBitco.in is extremely excited to add Bit777/Peerbet to their current assets and eagerly looking forward to integrate all sites under the CasinoBitco.in brand
Ultraplay will continue some involvement in operations of the acquired properties for the foreseeable future, and there is no immediate impact to players on Bit777/Peerbet. CasinoBitco.in ultimately intends to merge many of the feature and functionalities between the various sites over the next 6 months to build the largest and best Bitcoin Gaming network around.

Whats people's issues with Nitrogen Sports?  They have the slickest site by far.

Umm why is Jetwin a D rated book? Do they pay or can anyone confirm? Or is it cause they r new and need more history. Not questioning the rating system just interested so I can decide if I want to play there?

This is what I wrote on February 6th. They have since gained more of a forum presence so they will be looked at again after March Madness with all the other books. There have been some stiff books that close down right after March Madness.

Jetwin opens at “D-“


Jetwin.com is one of the few bitcoin books that requires your name, address, date of birth and phone number upon registration. The best way to describe Jetwin is by quoting some of their rules:

“The Customer hereby accepts that the Company maintains the right to demand additional information and/or documentation from the Customer in order to verify the Customer as the account holder in the event of such a security check.”

“The Company reserves the right to void any or all bets made by, and/or withhold payments payable to, any person, group of persons or legal entities acting in concert or as a syndicate to defraud the Company, pending the outcome of a subsequent investigation by the proper authorities”

“The Company reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion without explanation given to the Customer to refuse any bet or part of any bet without explanation and/or suspend or close an account at anytime for any reason, “

“ If a Customer account is inactive for twelve consecutive (12) months or longer, the Company reserves the right to close the Customer's account with the Company and the Customer agrees to forfeit any outstanding balance and all claims against the Company”

Jetwin does not have a big forum presence, live chat or phone number. The best that can be said at this time is that there have not been any complaints on payouts.

Great book. Should be an "A" with a little more time.

Short development status update:
We are about to finish implementing new types of bets on Ice hockey. Twice as much markets will be available for our clients for this kind of sport from the next midweek onwards.

Furthermore, taking into account a great number of requests, anonymous accounts will become available as well. These accounts won’t be eligible for any bonus, but for some clients anonymity is a top priority. So, customers will have to choose between anonymity and bonuses.

Best book out of all of them but they definitely need to have college basketball in time for the NCAA March Madness. They have stated that this will be done.
