I also talked with Coinbet on the phone. I'm not sure if he wants me to mention his name so I'll keep that out. He sounded like a great guy that understands the business. I did not ask him for anything to advertise and neither of us discussed money.

You didn't talk to me, but you did speak to someone else here and yes, everything you said is true.

Keep doing your thing!

i yet to find value in your evaluations until you correction analyze coinbet.cc its incredible to think that you have the ability to pass judge ment when you don't even have them on your list what a unless agenda having study we have going on here. i recommend going with the masses versus taking the choice of one person i think that with the number of positive post i have seen for coinbet there is only one way you couldn't put their name on your list and that's if some other sports-books have paid you to keep them off i don't and wont use this list to generate a list of legitimate books and i dont think anyone else should either.

Personally, I think he's just trying to tread carefully and see what happens over time. He's been perfectly fair thus far and keeps his standards high and we can appreciate that.

Thank you and you are 100% correct.

It's best to get opinions from all and in no way am I saying that my opinions are any better than others. I've played at all the books rated and have contacted all the books that I have rated. What I post is nothing more than my opinion. Coinbet may turn out to be the best book here. If there is one thing that I posted that's untrue, then tell me. I complemented Coinbet by saying they have the biggest bonus and lowest hold. In one year, Coinbet may be the highest rated book. I feel that I need more of a history to make an informed opinion. I left Coinbet unrated.

I will say that Coinbet had graded some of the push bets as losses when they first opened. I contacted support and was able to get it fixed. I no longer play there so I don't know if they got that problem fixed, but I'm sure they have. Just double check your wagers (like you always should).

Coinbet opened Jan 1, 2014, and they are located in Panama. Coinbet is offering the biggest bonus in the business right now at 125%. They also have the lowest hold and best lines in the business for Bitcoin books.

Coinbet got off to a very rough start with reports of slow plays a few days long for sports book players. There were also problems with the casino. We focus solely on the sports book so are unsure what happened with the casino. Payouts have become much faster now that things are automated. There have been payouts for large amounts. Coinbet does not have any no pays in their sports book.

Hopefully, for the players, Coinbet just had a couple of hiccups and things have turned around. I'm not going to put Coinbet on our recommended list at this time. Our standards are very high. In order to be on a recommended list, a book must show a history of immediate payouts. Coinbet may have jumped the gun. If not for that slow start, Coinbet would be one of the best books for your arsenal. For the above reasons, Coinbet is unrated at this time.

If anyone has a question on why a book was given a certain rating, feel free to ask. An automated player survey should be up this week for those that would like to participate. The best information comes from the player.

DirectBet review

Directbet opened in December of 2013. No personal information is needed and the player does not have an account. Players deposit bitcoins to a bitcoin address that corresponds to the wager wanted. The only bitcoins held by Directbet are those that are being used for pending wagers. Wagers are graded automatically and winnings are returned to the bitcoin address that was used to place the wager minutes after the conclusion of the event. Make sure to use an e-wallet and not an exchange.

Another positive feature about Directbet is that they are the only bitcoin book to have true live wagering. Currently DirectBet is even offering in game on the Olympics. The offerings do not stop in game and wait for a commercial break as all the other bitcoin books do that offer live wagering.

No confirmations are needed to accept a wager. The maximum bet on full game is 7.8 BTC win amount. There have been no reports of slow pays. Since DirectBet is so new, it is unfair to both DirectBet and the players to have a rating at this time. If the status quo continues, DirectBet will be a must have book for those playing live.

Thanks for the review.

Just a minor correction - winnings are not returned to the same Bitcoin address used to place the wager. Winnings are sent to any Bitcoin address of your choice. So you can send them directly to your exchange account or anywhere else for that matter.

Your payout address is set when you place a bet for the first time. That address is then stored for future bets and can be changed at any time.

Thank You

Why is SBObitcoin on the A ? you got paid by him for posting ?

Nitrogen should be on A

Agree, Nitrogen has been the best I have used. They have absolutely no problems and have all sporting events I have ever wanted.

How is Anonibet an A with no college sports to speak of...

NitrogenSports is a good book. Here is the opening review.

NitrogenSports opened in February of 2013 and they are based in Costa Rica. When you log in to NitrogenSports an account is attached to your computer. Make sure to set up a username and password in case you delete cookies.

NitrogenSports is a reduced juice book with some features not available at most books. They have a chat box so players can talk amongst themselves. They also have something that all books should have in an optional two party authentication. There have been too many horror stories of accounts being hacked and this is a nice prevention measure.

Deposit and withdrawals are instant. The limits are based upon each individual player. The limits are stated next to the lines making it easy for many of us that have tried to make a bet and only going to the next screen stating that maximum bet is exceeded. Both decimal and American odds are shown simultaneously. There have not been any reports of slow pays.

Not having college sports did cause a lot of reflection. A couple of things stood out about anonibet. A player was overpaid 15 BTC. Anonibet took full blame for the mistake. They even went so far as to say that the player wasn't a cheat. I don't remember the exact wording but it had the same meaning. The player did pay back anonibet. Anonibet had an outage. Every player that emailed anonibet received .1 BTC for the down time. Anonibet opened in 2011 and has a maximum withdrawal of 500 BTC.

this directbet is interesting because it cuts down on the risk of keeping your btc with another site/address. Are you payouts after the games are over fast? The only downside I see is that I have to pay a transaction fee with every bet I make.

99% of bets settle automatically within minutes of the event completion.

In fact, whenever possible, bets are settled while the event is still in progress ! For example, if you bet on Over 0.5 in a Soccer game, meaning that there would be at least 1 goal in the game, then as soon as a goal is scored you will receive your winnings - we don't wait for the game to finish as the result is already determined. Same for example when you bet on a set winner in Tennis.

Give us a try once and you will see how quick we are at settling bets.

As for the transaction fee, you are correct. Our betting style is not suitable for those who like to bet with micro stakes. Sending very small amounts might diminish your chances of winning, due to the fees (That said, we do not force a minimum bet size).

But for bigger bets, the fees are negligible. In light of recent news, where even an exchange is not a safe place to store your Bitcoins, we believe that it is worth paying a little extra in fees and have full control of your Bitcoins at all times.
