What's going on with BetOWI?

They used to be on your B list, now I don't see them listed anywhere, including your F list.


The website still exists.

All books requiring personal information are no longer on the list.

BetOWI was a C or C- book before being taken off the list.

This just broke today:

"BetOwi Player Claims Payouts Taking Over Six Weeks"

A BetOwi Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) player has filed a complaint with SBR. The player is owed $10,000 and has claimed that payouts are taking over six weeks to be processed. The player claimed that BetOwi alleged they tried to call him 20 times; the player counters by saying he has zero missed calls."

And a followup today also:  

" BetOwi Sportsbook comments on Payout Complaint

BetOwi Sportsbook (SBR rating C) has addressed the payout complaint reported earlier this morning. A player claimed that he has a $10,677 balance and had not been paid for six weeks. BetOwi countered by stating that they have been in touch more than ten times via telephone to confirm his payment details, but the player only answered the phone today."

"BetOwi player: "What frustrates me about their response is they are talking about one $500 payout not the fact that it took 6 weeks or the fact that they still owe me $10k and have made no effort to expedite the process or attempt to pay more than $500 every six weeks.  I refuse to continue to gamble with them because I know there is no chance of me getting my money out of this account "

BetOwi is a sister sportsbook to SportsbettingOnline."

Wasn't aware or forgot that they require personal info.
That's not good, but the incident above means I wouldn't go near them.

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that we have increased our MLB live limits. You can now get up to 50 BTC (to win) on MLB moneylines in-play.

Happy betting!

Cheers,

Is anyone using Flutterclub?

I have been disheartened so much after being ripped off by BetVIP I had decided to go back to betting in cash but I visited Flutterclub, liked what I saw and deposited a couple of bitcoin.
It's a slick site with a wide range of betting opportunities, especially the soccer.
Instigated two withdrawals and both were absolutely instant.
Good odds too.
First class site.....I highly recommend them.

still wondering about WeBetCoins and if it's active or again in inactive mode... They sent some pending payments (to me "but just a small pending amount" and to some other players that were complaining from months "with big amounts around ~100 BTC collectively") after months of disappearance, they aren't active in forum now and I don't know if anyone is still playing there.

I foolishly deposited here a few days ago.  I realized what I had done minutes afterwards... but bitcoin-qt does not have a double spend feature so there was nothing I could do to reverse the transaction.  I am owed 18.725 BTC.  My deposits and bets were graded just fine.  My receiving address is https://blockchain.info/address/176hbqDJxbzi19Hc2d2Xoi4uG5csiGcshs if I ever get paid you will see it there.

The address actually received the payment as can be seen

Dealing With a Slow Paying Sportsbook
Posted on   July 26, 2015   by   Angela Burrows




Summer is always a dangerous period for sportsbooks and bettors with funds in those sportsbooks. Basketball is over, and baseball doesn’t supply the volume needed to support a book with large overhead. Many sportsbooks have to dip into their reserve funds to pay players. And many sportsbooks delay those players, hoping to survive until the August football rush replenishes their bank accounts to pay those players. Sportsbookreview.com has come out with some good advice for betters dealing with these slow paying sportsbooks. From this article:

1)   Don’t get angry at customer service reps.
Live chat employees are the lowest of the low when it comes to a sportsbook’s food chain. They usually make minimum wage and have no input into whether or not you get paid. Behaving badly towards these people may give you a little joy in spreading your misery, but it can only hurt your cause. Treat them respectively and ask to speak to a manager.

2)   Don’t say chargeback
“Saying the word chargeback to an online sportsbook is a lot like saying the word bomb on an airplane,” says SBR. “If you are waiting to be paid, dealing with any entity other than your online sportsbook, except for dispute mediators, will go nowhere. In fact, threatening online sportsbooks will most likely lead you with a banned account and possibly render you unable to play with certain sportsbooks in the future. This scenario could occur even when you legitimately feel you have a reason to contact your financial institution. The best course is to remain polite, take it to the forums to advise others and raise public awareness, and file a sportsbook complaint with SBR. While a blacklisted online sportsbook may never issue your withdrawal, you will at least help other sports bettors from being scammed.”

3)   Catching more flies with honey than vinegar
Treat the sportsbook like they are the police who pulled you over after your ran a stop sign. Suck up, be nice, and get the employee on your side. A cop is more likely to help you out if you treat him with respect. The same goes for the employee.

The best way to avoid being slow-paid is to play only at books that pay out quickly. SBR does a good job dealing with postup books, but even the fastest paying sportsbooks take days to make payouts to its American customers.

Bitcoin only sportsbooks, on the other hand, often have automated payouts that take minutes rather than days. While these sportsbooks don’t have the long track record of a 5Dimes.eu, the immediate payouts mitigate much of the risk of playing with newer sportsbooks. If a bitcoin sportsbooks is slow-paying someone, you will quickly find out about it at bitcointalk.org.

However, there are many shady bitcoin books out there and one must be very careful before sending your bitcoin a bitcoin only sportsbook. Peeps Place at bitcointalk.org is the ultimate authority on these newer books, and has organized an outstanding chart detailing the strengths and weaknesses of each major bitcoin sportsbook. His advice is vital and will go a long way towards helping you choose quality bitcoin book.

In the long run, a gambler playing at strong sportsbooks, both fiat and bitcoin, will avoid most payout difficulties. A little due diligence is necessary, however.

Brought over from the rating poll thread: Wendigo

Do you know some good bitcoin sportsbooks with good first deposit bonuses for the sportsbook section? I know of cloudbet but don't like their loyalty points system. I don't care about casino bonuses though. Thank you.

Update

[Gogo ppp]

Betcoin  non-responsive to email and to posts in their thread in betcointalk.org:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281850.1040

Posts #1050-1056


This despite recent posts of theirs noting that they've hired a lot of 24/7 cs people, and assigned one to their betcointalk thread.

Betcoinsports cs is hopelessly bad. Simply worthless.

People should realize that if they have a problem, the odds are that you will be unhappy with the lack of cs response.
The book is out of control worthless.

Update:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281850.1060

Post #1065, and their response post #1066.

Note that the response doesn't apologize or attempt to explain the lack of response, NOR answer any questions I posed, but simply gives yadda yadda yadda positive pr spin as to how great their book will be AT SOME INDETERMINATE TIME IN THE FUTURE WHEN, NO DOUBT, THEY WILL FINALLY GET IT TOGETHER AND IT WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE.

Bullsh*t.

It also never addresses the horrendous juice they charge, the worst in the bitcoin sportsbook industry or at least tied for worst.

On April 1st and 2nd I sent Roadbet 3 emails with suggestions/questions.

Never got a response, so decided not to deposit there.


Took another look recently, decided to give a 2nd chance.
Resent the main email on July 21st and pointed out that it has been over 3 months with no response.

One week later - no response.

One more book with worthless/nonexistent cs.

When a book is this nonresponsive, they are giving valuable information - that if there is ever a problem with one's account, it will be difficult to impossible to get any help.

Another book to avoid.

Books- Do you allow open parlays? I want to add this to the chart. I was also asked this at another forum.
