3/29: Bitcointalk Private Poker Tournament #5 @ Sportsbet.io - 40 mBTC GTD Prize

[Steamtyme]

Nice surprise you have there. The guaranteed prize pool might bring a few more people out, not sure how many of the regs can bypass the kyc.

I'm working but will send some funds over, if it's a slow day I might be able to partake with some afk moments.

Definitely a nice gesture on the part of sportsbet.

GL all if I don't make it.

Dont let the possiblity of a kyc make you fearful of this casino.
I would bet more people have not been asked for KYC then people who actually have.
They have never asked me for KYC because I play by the rules.

Hmm , strange , for some reason I get registration error after I put the password and press proceed , is someone else encountering this problem ?

Guys, i'm in, also i will ask a friend of mine to join. he was on this forum, so in fact it is still bitcointalk tournament (no people from side)  

But what about Sporstbets KYC and some other restrictions?

I have some doubts about that. It will be not fine to register without KYC, win the tournament and do not be able to withdraw, because whey will ask you for KYC.

Guys, please dont worry too much about kyc - its not like sportsbet is enforcing this all the time - they rarely do actually. Also, this is supposed to be a fun tournament for our community - dont think they will suddenly ask everybody to kyc before they can play.

Please, read some thoughts above. I'm not afraid that will restrict me to deposit funds, i'm afraid that they will not withdraw funds without KYC.

There is no guarantees. T&C are written in a way that Sportsbet can ask you for KYC anytime they want.

I can only share my experience. I have been a user for quite some time, about a year now and they never asked me for KYC. I was much more of high roller few months ago and at that time I have without problems withdrew quite large amounts several times (0.2-0.5 BTC) without any problem. All my transactions with Sportsbet were extremely fast and I can recommend them without any reservations.

They have risen their margin in the meantime so they are not so good for high rollers any more but that is another matter for discussion in some other topic. Their whole policy has turned more to mainstream casual players.

Guys, please dont panic when its not necessary... remind me of my ex, dont do that plz!

@johnny Its not gonna happen that you win this tournament, want to withdraw the funds and wont be able to do so before completing kyc... you have my word for that. Again: This is a tournament that sportsbet have set up for us to have some fun, they are not going to f*** up anyone here...

Other than that - of course, they could ask for kyc in general, its in their terms and they can do so whenever they want to...

I guess it won't ask for a KYF with the prize pool of just 0.04 BTC, that isn't a big chunk of money if they do at least be prepared for the worst case scenario if you can't comply with the requirements. Just join the fun first and worry other things once it's done besides you have to win it with yahoo62278 a pro is one of the participants.

nobody i've talked to has had KYC sprung on them at sportsbet.io---i'm not too worried about that, especially at these stakes.

the country restrictions are more of an issue. anyone who is planning to play should load up the poker room ASAP and make sure they can access it. if you get this message, you need to 1. clear your cookies, 2. connect through VPN from a safe country (germany is working fine) and 3. make a new account.

i'm gonna register tonight, still need to load my account.

@efialtis, sorry i kinda slept on this. did the people on this list receive the password, or just the people who posted in this thread? let me know if i should still send send out a PM. i'm updating the list from last week right now.....

I confirmed that I received the password and other details but on that link, it has 40+ users, does the pm done by batch? I guess I'll try to register once it is nearing.

I have sent the password to ~26 ppl, sent you their names via PM. Would be awesome if you could contact everyone from your list. I could do it but since you are updating last week´s list, help me out mate.

I can also confirm I did multiple withdrawals from Sportsbet without having to do KYC. They weren't huge amounts, but were not 5$ as well.

Bottom line - I'd rather skip KYC due to legal issues (reporting taxes from gains) but doing it if needed it will not stop me from using Sportsbet. I trust them enough to keep my data safe.

Already signed up and you deserved a merit for reminding me about daylight savings. Completely forgot about that one since I am working from home and it doesn't really matter when I start in the morning as long as I pull my 8 hour shift during the day.

right my mistake, that's what I meant. I just sort of lumped them together.

Nice to hear such words. Then i'm definitely in!

Maybe they have some list of restricted countries, eh? 

Already find list - https://helpcentre.sportsbet.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/115007372088-Restricted-Countries
Then will play with VPN

The payout of 40 microbitcoin is not so bad. And poker tournament is not so much of a bad idea especially online now that everyone should avoid social areas and practice social distancing

Oh that's cool news, thanks again for hosting this. I am pretty sure we will have a lot of fun. Hopefully there will be many of us around at the tables.

Also, some countries are going into daylight savings too.. keep that in mind if it affects you or not.

Oh yea you are right, totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!

And good luck to everyone on Sunday, you will need it   - Shuffle-up and deal boys!

Yeah, thanks a lot for that valuable input... It’s obvious you are just trying to reach the min quota for your new signature campaign...   My bad, I should have created a moderated thread... ^^
