There are complaints, just not posted as much or got as much publicity as the DB case.

Cloudbet has problems every weekend and it's reflected in their "C" rating. Many of the complaints are posted in this thread. Cloudbet hasn't stolen any money from their players. If I send a PM to Cloudbet they will answer all questions. If asked, they will reply in this thread. All of their problems are with delays.

DirectBet's margins are the highest of all books. DirectBet has stolen funds from 3 different players. They won't show proof of problems and they state that their decision is final. If a book is going to confiscate funds, they need to show solid proof justifying the confiscation.

A major purpose of this thread is to warn players of books that may not pay out. DirectBet's model is set up so that others will lose money in the future.

Betcoin is currently untrusted and had their bid to advertise on this forum rejected by Theymos due to negative reputation.

Beginning this week, members who promote Betcoin will likely receive negative trust for doing so.

Go watch their forum and chat room if you're interested in reading about payout delays and other issues with sportsbook.  Read their trust feedback if you want to know what a scummy site they are in general.

Directbet stole over 5k from me. (9.04 BTC)

I placed a bet over a month ago and directbet has not returned it. They rejected the bet and then did not refund the btc.

Instead they just update the betslip page posting someone elses transaction ID and said its to cover an unpaid bet.

Complete garbage.

Directbet ignores all posts, emails, and support requests.

Listen to all the bad posts and stay away from this book.

Peeps,  how  about downgrading nitrogensports? They are making it difficult for jtp1109 to withdraw his bitcoins. Coming up with the stupidest excuses possible. Their behaviour is shady as hell. This is a link to the scam accusation :

robinH - I've been keeping an eye on this thread and it seems as though this is normal protocol that was put into place as a security measure.

Major sportsbooks deal with hacking attempts and fraudulent activity on a daily basis. Some delays are understandable when large sums are involved.

Is there anything that you would like asked of Nitrogen? I'll ask them if they can come in here to respond.

If the player gives me permission to look into his case, I'd be happy to go over it.

Here's a post by Nitrogen concerning this case.

We would like to shed some light on the recent posting by jtp1109.  

The user in question has been a loyal member of our site, and a very highly valued one, for some time. Recently our securities team introduced a new measure which places TEMPORARY locks on any account that has received large credits in the past 24 hours. This measure affects every user the same and is activated any time a credit this large is given (whether as a bonus, payout for a misgrade, bounty, affiliate payment etc.).

As one of our highest volume players, and somebody who would be impacted by this change in security policy, this user was notified of the changes immediately. We fully understand that this may not be the most convenient arrangement for users, but do view it as necessary to ensure security. The fact of the matter remains very few sportsbooks even come close to the flexibility we offer, especially in circumstances such as this.

We apologize for some initial miscommunication with our support team: as mentioned, the 24 hour lock is a relatively new measure, and accounts can be locked for many reasons. All team members are fully aware of the new security measures and we hope there won’t be any further miscommunication on the issue.

The account being unable to withdraw prior to his credit appears to have been as a result of the unconfirmed micro-deposit on his account. Unconfirmed bitcoin has not yet truly arrived at its destination, and our system cannot, therefore, allow users to withdraw bitcoin that hasn't been confirmed 100% as being in our wallets yet. These micro-deposits did not come from Nitrogen as claimed by the user; we have never, and would never send bitcoin to a user via deposit. For any such credit we use our own internal system. This can be corroborated by the fact that none of the wallet addresses sending these transactions belong to Nitrogen.

All in all, this amounts to an unfortunate misunderstanding with a long-time and loyal user. Unfortunately, due to the sums of bitcoin he plays with, he has been somewhat inconvenienced by a security policy which most users will never be affected by. This policy has been made clear to him on multiple occasions, by multiple members of our support staff, and at these times he has been given alternate options to aid him in avoiding what has been, for him, a frustrating process. Each time he has declined our offer. We have not seized or debited funds from this user, but rather was crediting him. At the time of this posting he has been notified via support and his account is open and unlocked and he is welcome to do as he wishes with his account and balance.

Although we cannot share account specifics, which have not been publicly aired by the user in question, we hope that our response provides some insight into this unfortunate situation and sheds some light on our perspective.

Thanks,


Mike

TwitchySeal - You've added a lot of pertinent and useful information to this thread but one question, why did you say that about Theymos?

I am curious with directbet.eu. Why only "D"? I thought they are one of the best sports books in the bitcoin world. Can you please explain the reason why you gave them a low rating?

Three players are owed money from DirectBet. Two players were accused of double spend attempts. DirectBet hasn't showed proof that the accused players tried to double spend.

DirectBet's rules state that once a bet is confirmed that it stands. A player had his bet confirmed and it was graded a win. DirectBet refused to pay out the player.

DirectBet's lines aren't competitive.

Some wagers aren't accepted/rejected until after the game starts. There can be a delay.

Even though most have no problems with DirectBet, even long term players, the reasons above show why DirectBet is inferior when compared to other books and that should be reflected in their grade.

The most glaring weakness is that there model will cause other players not to be paid, it's inevitable.



edit- The following post by robinH states their flaws more succinctly and accurately than I did.

Directbet.eu could seize your funds whenever it pleases them then claim a double-spend. Or better still they could accuse you of a previous double spent bet that may have nothing to do with you, and then use that as an excuse to keep your coins, without showing any proof whatsoever.

Don't let their PR fool you. How any one can possibly make a profit betting against the lines they offer is beyond me. Only fools use this book.

[bbc.reporter]

Ok. Thank you for the tip. I use them sometimes for small bets in F1 races. Now that I know their policy I will try to avoid them. So where will you advice the people to go if they want to bet on F1?

I wanted to ask about sportsbet.io - is the case about snatching your deposit is also true in their case.
Or their -D rating is caused by some other unfavorable conditions? I thought they are fairly good.

Their low rating is the result of being so new. There haven't been any problems to date. Hopefully they will stay clean and the rating will go up with time.

I am sorry peeps, but these excuses does not wash with me. Read through the thread again and nitrogensports categorically states that the security measure or whatever it was causing the hold up has been resolved. But jtp1109 still cannot withdraw his bitcoins. I mean they are happy to receive large deposits without delays, but they need more than four days to make a payout???

This is scandalous and there is absolutely no excuse. nitrogensoports should be downgraded immediately to F until this issue is resolved. We are talking about approximately 600btc they owe jtp1109. This dwarfs anything direct-bet stole from rangernation by a mile. And if you are in touch with them, you must urge them to resolve this issue.

no - same issues and they wont reply to me

Hey jtp1109,

There appear to be no restrictions on your account at this time. You are welcome to email support@nitrogensports.eu or submit a ticket with any specific requests.

Thanks,

Reply from jtp1109

no host and they REFUSE to answer my question - Nitrogen probably doesn't have the money, what I am hearing - I am also shocked they won't answer my basic question of why my account was locked or withdrawls frozen when I had no bonus - nobody gave me an answer then and nobody gave me an answer now

This was after nitrogensports claimed all is well!
