BitcoinSports.eu (Bit365) has disappeared recently along with player/investor funds.

It's hard to know who to trust with so many online casinos around.

Problem is fixed, thanks.

The security checks are understandably. But still, if an account suddenly disappears with your own deposited money without explaination it rises some questions at that moment.

Posting for a friend regarding coinbet. Their topic is closed so i do it here.

A friend deposited with bitcoin and got their deposit bonus. He played around with it, managed to get 3x hes initial deposit (including all the rollover requirements) and requested payout on Friday.
So far no payout has happened and since saturday he isnt able to log into hes account anymore.
A email has been sent to support, but no reply yet. Their btc adress shows activity a few hours ago, so they have been active.

I hope this will be resolved but so far hes waiting 48+ hours on payout and hes account disappeared without any response from coinbet.
Many times when books give away huge bonuses they understandably have to do security checks to prevent bonus abuse. Some people multi-account which isn't allowed and can lead to confiscation................ The account that you talked about is open and should be paid. Thanks for the heads up.

How do you guys like Anonibet?

I'm not a fan of their layout.  If you want to see the betting options for a game, you have to click on the sport, league, sub league, game, then game again.  It's a lot of clicking and doesn't lend itself to casual "I wonder what starts soon" betting.  You also can't compare several games at once.

Hi,

If you click "quick links" box on the right hand side, you will see the menu "starting in 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and also the most popular sports and leaugues. That makes it easier to find what you are looking for.

Umm why is Jetwin a D rated book? Do they pay or can anyone confirm? Or is it cause they r new and need more history. Not questioning the rating system just interested so I can decide if I want to play there?

This is what I wrote on February 6th. They have since gained more of a forum presence so they will be looked at again after March Madness with all the other books. There have been some stiff books that close down right after March Madness.

Jetwin opens at “D-“


Jetwin.com is one of the few bitcoin books that requires your name, address, date of birth and phone number upon registration. The best way to describe Jetwin is by quoting some of their rules:

“The Customer hereby accepts that the Company maintains the right to demand additional information and/or documentation from the Customer in order to verify the Customer as the account holder in the event of such a security check.”

“The Company reserves the right to void any or all bets made by, and/or withhold payments payable to, any person, group of persons or legal entities acting in concert or as a syndicate to defraud the Company, pending the outcome of a subsequent investigation by the proper authorities”

“The Company reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion without explanation given to the Customer to refuse any bet or part of any bet without explanation and/or suspend or close an account at anytime for any reason, “

“ If a Customer account is inactive for twelve consecutive (12) months or longer, the Company reserves the right to close the Customer's account with the Company and the Customer agrees to forfeit any outstanding balance and all claims against the Company”

Jetwin does not have a big forum presence, live chat or phone number. The best that can be said at this time is that there have not been any complaints on payouts.
Short development status update:
We are about to finish implementing new types of bets on Ice hockey. Twice as much markets will be available for our clients for this kind of sport from the next midweek onwards.

Furthermore, taking into account a great number of requests, anonymous accounts will become available as well. These accounts won’t be eligible for any bonus, but for some clients anonymity is a top priority. So, customers will have to choose between anonymity and bonuses.

Thanks for the update. Being anonymous is important to many in the bitcoin community. We'll update your rating right after March Madness.

Can someone explain how an outfit like SBOBitcoin makes money?  Do they get a pct. of total volume bet by their clients at Pinnacle?  Or a pct. of the net losses?  Or something else.

Also, they are in the process of doing something that seems a bit odd.  Their site used to say you will always be given the same BTC/HKD exchange rate (6,000 HKD/BTC) throughout the life of your account.  Which effectively makes any client of theirs long BTC (you will make/lose money from BTC rising/falling in value).  Now they have said they are changing the ratio from 6,000 to 4,000 HKD per BTC for all customers, and so will reduce existing HKD balances by 1/3 to account for the fact that you will now get 50% more BTC per HKD when you withdraw.   All future deposits and payouts will be done at the 4,000 ratio.....until they change the rate again, that is.

So friggin' complicated.  What I am trying to figure out, though, is what their rationale is.  I.e., how does it benefit them exactly?  Clearly, it has no material impact on the player (or at least it shouldn't), so it must have some benefit for SBOBTC.  I've gotten nowhere with them in a ~10-email exchange with them.

My assumption is that they make a percentage of total volume. Years ago most were receiving a percentage of net losses. While Pinny had packages with net losses, they were one of the few to also take a percentage of volume. Many more books have now switched to volume.

 SBOBitcoin was once the top rated book, but due to the confusion that many are having, they were downgraded.

Best book out of all of them but they definitely need to have college basketball in time for the NCAA March Madness. They have stated that this will be done.
