@Fruegreads thanks for the explanation, yes everything seems in order finally. Bloody Australia survived yesterday to draw and settle my (losing) cricket bet 3 days later, what a day, but we live another day!

1 curious thing to report. I am able to bet without issue from a PC but from mobile I keep getting the message: deposits/betting not accepted from your country. Thought it could have been my mobile data but using wifi (same ip as pc) still returns the same problem.

Don't know what the problem might be. I will inform BetKing about it though.

Points and Daily Challenge Update

Hello everyone, here's the update for the 4th day of our Weekly series. Everything went normal, so there was no need to manually calculate ROI% for any player.

Please don't forget that at least one bet needs to be settled in any given day so that a player can be eligible for points on that day.
Frappuccino, Gox and Whitesugar, made some bets on the 11th October, but those bets were only settled on the 12th October.

Those bets will count for the 12th, even if they don't make any more bets today, but we can't consider them for the 11th.
Without changes in ROI% for any given day, we can't really award points, so please be careful with that.

And here's the Daily Challenge for tomorrow:

Fifth Daily Challenge (October 12)
- Win the most bets in a row (minimum odds for each bet @1.2)

A quick question : does a returned bet interrupt the winning streak if it occurs in the middle of it?

Return bets will not interrupt the streak, they will simply be ignored.
Only losing bets can reset the winning streak.

Good luck!

30 bets need to be made by end of today to qualify right for the weekly right?

30 bets need to be made by end of today to qualify right for the weekly right?

Nope, 30 bets need to be made by the end of the month when both monthly and weekly prizes will be credited to winning player who fullfilled all the requirements.

Pif is right; 30 bets (or, depending on your starting bankroll, 60, or 80 bets) need to be made by the end of the competition to qualify for prizes. Since the competition will last 4 weeks, you have plenty of time to make your bets.

Points and Daily Challenge Update (And announcement of winners of Week 1)

Hello everyone, here are the Winners of the 1st Week of our Betting Competition!

Congrats to all winners, but specially to onetime for being the first big winner of Week 1.
He managed to get 1st and 5th place, and both accounts are playing for triple prizes! That must feel good!

Mapagmahal, Omikifuse and whitesugar continue proving that betting is not just about luck, and continue to regularly grab prizes, since our First Edition.
Congrats for that as well.

Week 2 is already in progress.
Remember that everyone will have a fresh start to grab our prizes, since Weekly Points reset every week.
Good luck!

Important Notes:
- We will now reset weekly points. This means that everyone will have an equal winning chance on week 2, no matter what their results of the first week were.
- Monthly points don't reset, because we also have a Monthly contest going on (along with our Daily Challenges and Weekly contests).
- Prizes will only be paid in the end of the month, since we need to ensure players fulfill the minimum volume betting requirements.
- We keep track of past winners on our dedicated post for our Weekly contests: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4854169.msg43757706#msg43757706

First Daily Challenge Winner
The winner of this edition's first Daily Challenge, "Winning single bet or parlay with highest odds", was Betwrong with this bet: https://betking.io?betId=54446872 (won @5.35). Congrats Betwrong, I guess your tactic worked.

Thanks! Yeah, it worked this time and I'm happy about that, but as we all know no strategy can work always.

I have a question about my prize. Sorry if I misunderstood the rules, but I thought (quoting from the rules) that "Daily Prizes will be paid in the form of Free Bets" and they will be "Paid Every day during an entire month".

From what I can see, I haven't received any free bets yet. Is there just a delay or am I missing something?

Hi Betwrong, you didn't misunderstood the rules, and you will be credited with your FreeBet soon!
They are credited manually and it usually takes up to 48h for BetKing to credit them. It should happen tomorrow.

If you have any more questions please let us know.
Congrats on your win!

Guys, I hate to say it, but I still haven't received my FreeBet which I won in the First Daily Challenge. I enjoy participating in the competition, but I wasn't very lucky lately and I lost almost all my balance (12k satoshis left) so the freebet, or rather the money I hope to win with it, is my only hope.

Is this a delay, or am I looking in the wrong place for it and just don't know how to claim it?

[vd309]

Is this a delay, or am I looking in the wrong place for it and just don't know how to claim it?

No need to claim it. I think they send all the winners to betking and then free bets are proceed at some point.

Hello Betwrong, sorry to hear that. You are correct, we are having an abnormal delay with the payment of FreeBets (no need to claim them, it's like vd309 said. We send the winners to Betking, and they credit the accounts).

BetKing informed me yesterday, that all payments should be done today, so please wait until tomorrow for your account to be credited with your prize.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello FrueGreads! No worries. I understand that there can be delays. It caused no inconveniences so far, because I was able to place two bets today, and hopefully by tomorrow evening the prize will be credited to my account.

I have one question regarding the Point System (because the rules are too long to keep them in head all the time ). Am I right that the number of points you get depends solely on the ROI and doesn't depend on the wagered amount at all?
