26. BookMaker reserves the right to take away any bonus -such as a free plays- any time, without explanation

Other sanctions could include:

Administration fees
Refusal of payouts
Reversal of wagering transactions

Even though they have numerous onerous terms in their T & C and the most ridiculous bonus rollover terms in the history of sportsbooks

What you say is valid and in almost all other circumstances a book will not be raised two grades.

My thought process was that Jetwin should have been a B- book but that their rules granted them free reign to confiscate funds. My thinking now is that the rules are just stock rules used by other books that aren't intended to be used.  I feel that my original grade was much too low.

I also like what Jetwin is doing with risk management where I'm secure on their plans to pay players. Some of these 3x rollover books scare me. This is the reason that Stakebet opened at a "D" and I stated the only reason they were a "D" is that they haven't had a slow pay yet.
I do appreciate the feedback and if you and others feel that Jetwin should have a lower grade, then the grade will be lowered.

Many sports betting sites use cheap marketing tactics like bikini-clad women and flashy banners to try and lure people in. But let’s face it: there are better sites out there for bikini-gazing. What you want is gimmick-free sports betting with Bitcoin. We get it.

Built by Bitcoiners and sports betters, NextBit.co is a new Bitcoin-based gambling site that offers a simple and secure sports book. No bikinis. No flash. Just fair, fun, and anonymous sports betting that starts and ends with Bitcoin.

But enough about banner-babes, let’s talk about something even sexier to online gamblers. That’s right—security. 

Other sports books claim they are secure, but are they really? Some sites use weak code and cut corners in infrastructure, making them as vulnerable to theft as a Las Vegas casino with no surveillance. 

What makes NextBit different?

NextBit is designed by a team of security experts and programming gurus, so you can rest assured your winnings will always find their way into your wallet.

NextBit security infrastructure includes:
256 AES Encryption
Separate servers that manage transactions and the website, reducing attack surfaces and keeping your Bitcoins secure.
Independent Bitcoin wallets that allow you to openly track bets in the blockchain.

Not only is NextBit one of the most secure sports books on the web, but we’re also one of the easiest to use. Being sports bettors ourselves, we were tired of gambling sites that looked as cluttered as a hoarder’s garage, which is why we created NextBit: a clean, clutter-free, and easy to navigate betting site.

At NextBit, just pick your event, enter a wager, review the odds, and send your payment. That’s it. Four clicks and you’re done.

Remaining true to the spirit of Bitcoin, all betting with NextBit is anonymous. No emails. No accounts. No Facebook login links. We believe your identity is your business. Like the uninterested doorman at your favorite bar, NextBit waves you on in without ever asking for an I.D.

And finally, in solidarity with the Bitcoin community, NextBit.co is proud to be a 100% Bitcoin-based sports book. We pay our employees and only do business in Bitcoin.

So come place a wager with NextBit today. And stay tuned for all the new features and updates we’ll be regularly rolling out. 

Cheers and may the betting gods guide your next wager.

Hi everyone,

We have decided it would be best to take DarkBet offline in anticipation for our launch, meanwhile myself and the team will be able to continue improving the platform in a more stress-free environment.

continuing the Beta while we work on these last major implementation would not be a pleasant experience for our users, so we unanimously decided that this was the best course of action. On the bright side, this will greatly speed up the progress and even allow us to make some new improvements and additions.

We are very thankful for everyone who has participated in the Beta, the contribution has been beyond what we had expected. A lot of you have emailed and PM'd us about suggestions, bugs and overall made a huge contributions to DarkBets future.

We recommend that those who have funds in their accounts withdraw these before 1. April, however we will be answering PM's and emails contentiously until our launch in case someone missed this email/announcement.

PS. All VIPP, DBP and BTC balances will be kept, as well as any user history and logs.

We hope everyone returns for our launch and thanks again for all the support!

I just went to the withdrawal screen where it asks how much you would like to withdraw. Are you able to get to that screen?

Hi Peeps can u look into BTCSportsMatch as im trying to withdraw my balance and it wont let me threw the system. There is this message saying they are closing:Due to a legal issue, we are suspending operations. Please cancel any orders and withdraw your balance or email support from your authorized email address for a manual withdrawal. Matches for March 27 and beyond have been voided. We appreciate your support over the last 3 years.
I emailed them to send my BTC, can u find out more?

Why do they get into the B's so fast? Books need to earn the respect here not just an ease of access if u want them to respect or if u want anyone to take u serious Peeps. Going from a D to a B overnite is overboard. Some people will count on these ratings Peeps and I have also sent over people from other forums to look at these ratings, if things go wrong then this will be taken as a joke. I hope u understand what I'm trying to get at an A book really needs to be an A and people need to know that they are safe. Consider this when rating, we need things to get bigger and better, people are already scared. I wish more books with history would use bitcoins.

The only thing keeping StakeBTC from being a "F", because of that bonus, is that they haven't had one complaint as far as payouts. StakeBTC opens at "D".

Jetwin upgraded to B-

Jetwin's opening rating was a "D". The reason for the low rating was in large part due to their rules. Their rules state that they can confiscate player's funds for a multitude of reasons. While many post up books state similar rules, the bad books will use those rules. The good books never use confiscation rules for syndicate and steam plays. They ban the player but all winnings are paid. Jetwin seems to be using their rules as a scarecrow tactic.

They have users 10+ days to withdraw their balance after they made the announcement they were closing. People who had 50+ BTC in bitbook did not have any problem withdrawing during those days and bitbook made it clear the site was going offline after 7 days had passed and they said it would be up for a few more days. Do not call bitbook a scam direct bet, they never were and it is not the fault of them that these users did not check their accounts or the latest news in 10+ days

Thanks fore the updates Peep!

Our odds monitoring system and trading tools have proven their efficiency – we are moving our odds fast and it is very difficult to find arbitrage situations; therefore, I doubt that our website is an arbitrager’s attraction.
A player does on a website only that he is allowed to do by a bookmaker, and the bookmaker is fully responsible for the result of how his website is used, thus, if we accept bet, provide bonus and allow any other action we will fulfil all the obligations from our part (pay out winnings, bonuses etc.)
Of course, no confiscation of winnings will be made, it is merely information published on the website in order to maximally diminish fraud attempts.
