Thanks for the post Ralle. I didn't know that RBF would trigger KYC or freeze at any book. If you know of others, please post.
Can't say if it'll trigger KYC but in my case I didn't have to go through any KYC.

Do you have any knowledge of in what situations sportsbet ask for KYC. Is there purely a withdrawal threshold where they ask for KYC, and if so, what is that?
Yes, there is a withdrawal threshold for KYC here's the part that was mentioned in their terms and condition.

Also don't use RBF(replace by fee) on your deposits as it will trigger a "freeze" on your account, you'll be forced to contact the support and the security team to fix this issue.

Sportsbet.io rating and review.

Opened: 2016
License: Curacao 1668/JAZ sub-license.
Currencies: Crypto and Fiat.
Banned countries: USA, UK, Australia, Estonia, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Afghanistan, Korea, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, Trinidad and Tobago, Yemen.

Sportsbet is a big book with sponsorships of major soccer clubs. There are many betting options both pregame and live. Sportsbet is very popular here at bitcointalk.

The betting margins at Sportsbet are high. You won't find the best line on either side. There have been many complaints against Sportsbet but that comes with the territory of any good sized sportsbook. Most of the time that comes from disgruntled players but there may have been times where Sportsbet was incorrect. Many complaints have been posted where it was a he said, she said situation. A sportsbook needs to have solid proof of any infractions claimed. There are times when Sportsbet has provided no proof which makes it difficult to determine right or wrong. Sportsbet has confiscated both deposits and winnings. At other times they have just confiscated deposits. KYC has been asked for before these confiscations. Playing from a banned country will lead to a confiscation.

There are some other worrisome things concerning Sportsbet. It's a normal practice to require a one time rollover on deposits but Sportsbet has a rule of a 5x rollover if they suspect money laundering. If an account is inactive for 3 months, Sportsbet will send out a letter informing the player. One month after the letter, Sportsbet can charge a fee of 15% per month fee for administrative costs. In one section it states that Sportsbet may confiscate the balance after 180 days of inactivity. In another section it states one year. I don't know if the rules above have been invoked.

For the purposes of ratings, "A" and "B" books are recommended. There normally isn't any problems playing at a "C" book. "D" and "F" books should be avoided at all costs.

Sportsbet opens with a rating of "C".

Sportsbook.io rating and review.

Dude, put some respect on the name, come on, it’s www.sportsbet.io not sportsbook.io, I’ve played there for years & never had to submit full KYC. I’m just a regular gambler though, I don’t do anything suspicious that would make them suspect money laundering.

Every sportsbook has to protect themselves from collusion, sportsbet.io is no different.

sportsbet.io have a price boost that you can utilise when you place a bet & this actually gives you better margins than all other books.

I don’t feel a C rating is fair really, they’re better than that in my opinion.

Here’s a little something you might find interesting, an AMA with the CEO, something no other rival sportsbook does. He’s a great guy, spending time interacting with genuine sportsbet.io gamblers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnWcVEzFA2k



Thanks for the correction. I see that the video is almost 2 hours. I'll check back in at the forum a little later and will watch the video within a couple of days. I know that there is a one time price boost per day. Do you know the maximum amount that can be wagered or how much the difference is between the normal line and the boosted price?



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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was an exception made for Sportsbet. Because of multiple poster requests and the fact that Sportsbet can keep balances in BTC, a rating was put up.

I listened to part of the video and it's good. Sportsbet is very good with the community and advertising. The problem is with their lines being unbeatable, the confiscations of money without proof as well as not turning over any information asked for pertaining to the $18k confiscation. This makes me very uncomfortable playing there and I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone.

WTF
Sportsbet the top scam bookmaker together with 1xbit? These sites should have banned for good
Any proof to back up that claim because that's not something that you will say without any reason and the reason could either be: they are a real scam website or you are trying to stain their reputation.
This is a really scam site for 1xbit its betting teams are not active for this it has been banned and many gamblers have suffered. There is no guarantee of playing bitcoin sportsbooks therefore, websites should be monitored before the game.

Have used Sportsbet for sometime now with minimal issues here and there. It is one of my go-to crypto sportsbooks primarily because of zero BTC withdrawal fees which is a huge plus point in my opinion.

Always withdrew small amounts successfully and was never asked to submit my KYC documents. High margins is the only con associated with it.

^  But isn’t Sportsbet really a crypto book?  I mean if you make a BTC deposit at Sportsbet it accounts your deposit denominated in BTC, unlike fiat sports betting sites.  Fiat books like 5Dimes or Pinnacle convert your BTC and accounts for them to USD.

I can understand your point. Let me mull this over for a bit. Although Sportsbet advertises heavily, their rating wouldn't be very high because their margins are so high and they require KYC.

Pretty fast for me.  Just a couple of hours, around prolly 8 hours max of waiting before the coins arrived in my wallet.  No KYC but withdrawals were small.  All under 500 bucks worth of BTC.

I don’t see Sportsbet.io around.  It could be at least be rated a ‘C’ itt.  IMHO.  They’ve been making huge moves in terms of marketing and promotion outside the confines of BCT.  Stake is another one doing huge move and should at least be a ‘B’.  IMHO.

FJ deserves to rank up a notch too.

You make some good points. As far as Sportsbet, they are left off because they accept fiat. Also, Stake just got a recent upgrade so that one will be left alone for a tad longer.

Playbtr upgraded from B+ to A-.
Fortunejack upgraded from C- to C.
