I have checked that they only have 2 currencies over there, BTC and Ooms (no value as this is their play money).
Since the price of btc is increasing and the tx fee is also getting expensive, are they going to add more alts?
Maybe XRP, DOGE, LTC or EOS. They have relatively low transaction fees.
Because if other options are available, I believe, they can get more gamblers here.
Yes its too expensive to spend bitcoins on any site right now. It's hard to gamble on the favourite casino's these days. I mean Last week I had some balance on the casino's and in the btc volume it's all reduced now considering the USD is risen.
Unfortunately thats not the issues. The issue is when withdrawing the balance they are taking huge cuts as withdrawl fees and thats taking all the fun away.
For example, if I want to withdraw 50 bucks then the fees are as high as 9 bucks. So to get the fees covered I will need to wager more money for it and potentially need to earn more.
I am sure that Futuur will also look into it futuristically and add more coins to it.
Yes, that's the plan! While Bitcoin is king, for day to day transactions there are many other cryptos with better fees. We will also be adding one or more stablecoins, for folks that prefer less volatility
.
Even myself would really be having those kind of doubts when you do make out some future bets and letting your funds or money sit for too long just because you do just wait on what
would be the result of such event but somehow this site doesnt really force you to make out some bets though and also there is some on-site alt or coin for you to make use
on making bets and if you are fan of taking some picks about these future events then you can bet out using those without risking money but if you do like for some thrill then
you can choose to make out some deposits but of course you should be aware that every platforms doesnt really guarantee to last up that long.
They should come out with future prediction that is short term in nature, long term prediction will make your money sit out in the site for a long period of time I would not even think of sitting my funds there, when I can do day trading, I have not yet registered on the site and it looks interesting because this is the only dedicated prediction site that I've known.
Wish they use a self-custody approach that let bettors bet and lock their funds on smart-contract and never have to worry about something happening to the fund during the period of the long-term bet.
Yes, we agree -- self-custody is an idea we are very excited about, and are looking to implement in the future.
I'm just curious about how to find the withdrawal button on the futuur website, at some point I have a feeling that, it could be activated if a little sim of btc is deposited, I don't know or something similar.
I don't usually like predicting on politics, science, entertainment, but I love placing bets on sports, because the results will be quickly announced time waiting.
So I placed some bet on futuur using using the Ooms coin, I don't know if I win.
You can Withdraw from your Wallet page (Portfolio > Wallet). Here's the direct link:
https://futuur.com/p/walletWe're adding new sports all the time, and will be adding in-game betting very soon!
So, is this balance to try? I see some users also bet using balance like this
I'm not familiar with Futuur this is the first day I try to bet here I was also surprised to see the bet could be sold
Yes, this is your account balance in Ooms, our play-money currency. Welcome to Futuur!
It's a free token so you can try how the betting works it's not withdrawable not trade able but who knows maybe in the future if they become popular and there are many people betting on the site they will create their own token, it's good that they create a token to test their features, so people will have a general idea on how the site works.
If devs have already made their own token, then the logical continuation of this development is precisely the smart contracts that the guys wrote about above. I also liked the idea with smart contracts, because really a person can completely forget about their rate or not go to the site for years. And so at least he will have a guarantee of contract performance and appropriate information.
Yes, as mentioned earlier we are very interested in allowing non-custodial wagering with smart contracts. Regarding the Oom, our play-money currency: it is not a crypto token... but who knows, maybe in the future we will offer a crypto token as well. Place your bets!
Well this site looks different than others, betting platforms are unique. I have just placed a bet with the free coins that I have in my account. I don't believe that Elon Musk's SpaceX will be able to take human to Mars by the end of 2024. Recently their rocket failed to land successfully after launching and crashed.
BTW, I'm also unable to find out the withdrawal option as 'Lordhermes' said above. Maybe without having balance in account we can't see the withdrawal option, right? I was searching for the withdrawal fee at your site. In terms and conditions page I can see that
4.1 In order to bet real money using the App, you need to deposit funds into your account (“Account Balance”); deposits can be made into the Account Balance by means of the following Payment Methods: Skrill and Neteller.
There is no information about bitcoin deposit and withdrawal in T&C page. Even I can't see FAQ page at your website. It's inside the community page and there you have provided information about bitcoin deposit and withdrawal. At the website only bitcoin is available as real money for depositing, play with it and withdrawal. But in the terms page it saying Skrill and Neteller is the payment method. Which is a bit confusional. OP, can you clarify these things?
Sorry for the confusion. Currently we offer deposits and withdrawals in bitcoin only, although we will be offering other payment methods in the near future. Our Bitcoin FAQ is here:
https://community.futuur.com/d/6386-frequently-asked-questions-about-bitcoin-on-futuurWhere do these earnings come from? There are no results in my votes yet.
Another thing I noticed was the date in Bet history, I remember I placed bets on December 21, but when I look at it now everything has the same time and date as December 23 and 21h28.
If none of the markets you bet on have been resolved yet, your earnings on the leaderboard were generated by the fluctuation in price from other people betting on the market after you've made your bet. For instance, if you bet on outcome A at .50/share, and then somebody else bets on the same outcome, the price will go up, and you have the option to sell at a profit if you'd like.
Regarding the Bet History, there may be a bug with the date. We will take a look and fix asap if so.
I've registered with google to see how it works. I got my 10000 'coins' to place the bets instantly, and I think it's great that you have this option for people to try out the website (even though it's more like a "fun mode" with no way of withdrawing this money if I got it right). I like it that the website offers a wide range of bets on politics because it's not something many websites offer. And the bet images are nice. But some questions are not precise enough, IMO. For instance, there's one about Lukashenko:
Will Lukashenko still be Belarus’ President by the end of 2020?
The problem is, some might say he is already not the President because he lacks international recognition and legitimization by the recognition of the people of Belarus. And a very minor change in this half-state can lead to people arguing that he's definitely not the president anymore, but establishing it as a fact would be tricky.
You raise a very good point. Sometimes there is a grey area or ambiguous situation where a market can't be resolved, in which case we will cancel it and return funds to bettors. Regarding the disputed situation in Belarus, we will have our editors evaluate the situation to see if a determination can be made. Thanks for pointing this out!
Yeah, it only shows my profile page. They should also put a button for directing to the wallet because I can't find it. Only bet history which is not accurate and not the account activity.
This is the purpose of selling our bets if we can place a bet but we can no longer wait for the result. It was only here that I saw such a feature in the prediction sites.
Hi, please confirm that a) you have BTC selected in the currency menu (access by clicking on your account balance), and b) that you are not accessing the site from one of our restricted countries, in which case you will only be able to access our play money currency.
Hey there futuur dev or admin. I just want to suggest that you add more sports-related predictions to the market. I believe a significant chunk of the betting industry is based on sports events. I know that your platform has a feature which allows users to suggest a specific market but I am raising this suggestion of mine in general.
As of now, I noticed that only football, NBA, NFL, and Tokyo Olympics are categories available under sports. That's too limited in a very wide market. Whatever happened to tennis, boxing, MMA or UFC in particular, eSports, baseball, cricket, etc?
Thank you. I am looking forward to making predictions from a whole lot of choices.
Thanks for the feedback & suggestions Fundamentals Of! Yes, we are adding new sports all the time, and will look into the ones you've suggested. We will also soon be offering in-game betting.
Hi, I made a btc deposit and and requested withdrawal at the same time to test the platform. I was a little bit confused on why platform does not allowed to process withdrawal with 2.317 mbtc withdrawal when the minimum set to withdraw btc was set at 2 mbtc. Now wheb I requested a withdrawal of 2mbtc which the minimum it did tell that the request was being process. Do the platform had stated withdrawal not allowing to process withdrawal request like 2.3717 mbtc?
Hi jademaxsuy, it sounds like you may have encountered a bug, as you should be able to withdraw any amount over 2 mBTC, no matter how many decimals. We will get this fixed asap, apologies for the inconvenience!
My first prediction using real Bitcoin bet was a loss. Tsk. Anyway, this is not about this loss. I still have some more predictions on the line from which I could easily recover my first loss.
I'm asking about winning bets on predictions which do not have any predictors except myself. Let's say the market has 60% for the yes and 40% for the no. I predicted on the yes and it turned out the correct prediction. Who's gonna pay for my winning prediction when I'm up against no one? Will the site pay for it? Despite having no other predictor, I'd still be expecting to get paid because if I lose, I'd still be paying.
Yes, in cases where there is only one bettor (or multiple bettors that have all bet on the same outcome), Futuur pays out the winnings in the same way. Because we use an automated market maker, we take on a limited amount of risk with each of our markets.
You have a point here, many things can happen, we don't want our funds stuck to a gambling site for a long period of time an escrow is good so if something happens to the site we can still get our money, I'm not ok holding my funds for a long period to a gambling site, I prefer staking it than putting it in a gambling site.
I have already tried to transfer funds in the platform and even withdraw to it during holiday season. I thought that it gonna be process for some period of time due to holiday season and mostly all are busy. However, it was the opposite. After I tried to request a withrawal I quickly receive the funds I request to withdraw in my wallet. Their service is fast and easy. I do not in some other time if the platform could be reliable whe it comes to withdrawal but base on my experience it was process fast and easy even during holidays!
Thanks! We are committed to providing the quickest turnaround possible
