On
Directbet I had very bad luck. Even tennis games with the favorite player of my choice -including several match points- I lost and more nasty things happened.
Lucky enough I had some good bets/gambles on other sites and the week ended with a profit. But of course all of this has nothing to do with the quality of the site. I must be honest and not biased
- wide range of games - amazing;
- wide range of live games;*
- odds are reasonable - not the best, but comparing to most of the other Bitcoin bookies they are doing very well;
- website looks good - nice font, nice colors - I can find my favorite games in no time;
- everything on the website is very good explained;
- website (surfing) speed is fast;
- response time of my questions I had was quick and friendly, with the information I asked for;
- anonymous, no registration - they use your deposit address for your personal link - for sport betting this is unique;
- bets are placed when some peers have seen your deposit;*
- payouts are instant; (really instant!).
*For live betting I prefer a balance that is ready to use, like the other sportbooks. I don't want to wait for miners and blocks. Sometimes I had to wait for 10 minutes. Even with the options you have (flexible/negotiate/firm) I can think of things they can programming in their favor. I did some live betting on tennis games and it felt not good. The odds goes up and down and changing all the time. With live betting I want to know in 2 seconds if my bet is accepted, without waiting, negotiate and other stuff. Only then it feels fair for me.
So, I like to see an option to have a bankroll on Directbet (with the deposit address using for the secret link). I doubt that will ever happen, because maybe it is not how the site is set-up/meant to be, but on the other hand I think it is not very hard to implement. Without this option I will not use live betting again.
If this option will be available in the future I will give it a 5.0 and love to make live bets as well.
For now I will give
Directbet a very decent
4.5.
