Like i said i would, i've created an account on Playbetr and i'ill give my impressions to add to the thread, i will also post on their thread so people there can have more info if they want to.
Layout: C, the site has a clean layout but is kinda clunky and a little slow, it lacks some basic info like a page to show if your withdrawl was already approved, i found a visual bug where the numbers simply disappear when trying to bet O/U goals, it's also extremelly annoying how every time you open a new tab you have to choose a coin for the site to convert to so you can bet despite having it already set in my configuration page.
Deposit: S, instantaneous with my e-wallet.
Withdrawl: B, here i had a big problem but i can understand why, my e-wallet was just recently added and it looks like everything wasn't working 100% so the withdrawls were delayed, but after it was fixed things started working well, the withdrawl itself takes around 12 hours, not the fastest but not bad.
Coins: B+, A lot of options and you can use FIAT, the problem is when you deposit BRL it will automatically convert to USD, i wish i could just use BRL.
Bonus: D-, I don't like deposit bonus so i can't comment on that, but they have a very strange boosted odds system, when i asked the live chat support said that you have to request the boosted odds AFTER the bet is settled, wich sounds VERY strange and laborious to me, i've tried 3 times but they all lost so i don't know what will really happen, but i have a strong gut feeling that this won't even work, i expected them to say "no it's not like that" or "you've got it wrong" or something like that.
Betting Limits: F-, Playbetr is without any doubt one of the worst experiences that i've ever had when it comes to betting limits. I love CSGO, and the biggest tournament of the year is happen right now, do you know how much they let me bet? 8 fucking dollars, that PATHETIC, why would even open a market to let people bet 8 dollars?
Odds: A, great odds.
Support: B+, live chat is just ok compared to the best sites, they take some time to answer, but in general they were very attentive in solving the e-wallet problem i've described before.
I consider them a C+/B sportsbooks in general, but if they don't fix these betting limits it's just impossible for me to use their services.
On another note, do you know if i can create an account on Betcoin without any problem now? I want to test them to see if they have the same betting limits.
This is great feedback, thanks! We need more of this.
This was Playbetr's response in their dedicated thread.
Thank you so much for the detailed, honest feedback. We love constructive criticism, and throughout the years, it has been the number 1 contributor to our improvements!
Regarding the layout, it is a work in progress. We have many updates going on constantly and tbh, in the past, improvements to the look have taken a backseat to improvements to the experience. Expect some major improvements to be rolled out within the *fingers crossed* next 3 months.
We know that claiming the odds boosts by support ticket is a pain. That is a limitation of our software, as well, but look for some exciting updates to that in the near future. In the meantime. we are offering very appealing daily specials that, frankly, put us at a huge marginal disadvantage, so we hope the additional payouts are worth the 30 seconds it takes to fill the support ticket and claim your additional winnings. And we assure you that everyone is getting their payouts, when claimed!
ESports limits... We are sure you guys have seen the many reports, here in the forum, of eSports abuse. As a fairly new sport, which pays its players very little for the lower leagues, we have no choice at this point but to limit players on eSports as a way of preventing abuse. It is far more widespread than you may think and our system has no way of immediately distinguishing legitimate players from abusive players. We have been hit countless times by eSports team members and their friends, as has every site on here. We have low limits on 4th tier football leagues for the same reason. That said, we are HUGE supporters of eSports and believe it is the future of sporting, in general. We are working closely with the odds providers and sporting leagues to detect and eliminate these issues. We are also working to raise our limits on the higher tiered leagues and events.
Finally, the average withdrawal time is 15-30 minutes for fiat. As you mentioned, we had some issues with the new payment provider, which should now be resolved.
Once again, thanks for the great feedback. We agree with your comments and can't wait for you to see all the improvements, which are coming!

betinasia.com Criteria used to rate a book.1. Security - getting paid is by far most important.
2. Working with the forum. This is a player's thread and books are held responsible for their actions. Questions are asked of books concerning number of employees, time in business, experience, poster problems, etc. If a book is going to ignore a player's thread, they will be severely downgraded. Most books are very easy to work with.
The following cannot be quantified as to importance since being highly detrimental in one category may supersede other criteria used.
3. Poster review - poster review is much more important at bitcointalk than other forums, but other forums are also read. A high review from a new book will weigh less than the review of a book that's been in existence 2+ years.
4. Anonymous - one of the reasons that bitcoin books are used is to stay anonymous. There may be times where it is necessary to question players but it should be a minimum.
5. Margins - If players are going to have a chance to beat a book the margins have to be tight enough to give us that chance. If the margins are larger than -110 (1.91) that's a big blow to a book's rating.
6. Payout speed - If the average is longer than one hour, a book will be downgraded. One hour is sufficient due to possible grading errors. A large book is dealing with a significant amount of money along with a huge player base.
7. Markets - The more betting options, the better.
8. Traffic - time in business along with amount of players that a book has gives us a large sample size.
9. Currencies used - It's easier on the player if we are allowed to deposit and withdraw from alts.
Miscellaneous - Books accepting fiat currencies are omitted from the guide. Other forums are read to make sure the ratings here aren't significantly out of line with the average of other books.
