Peeps, you are so right about DirectBet. They must be paying these people to post for them. DirectBet's odds are so bad, as you say, no one could win long term there. And yet, posters come out of the woodwork on your site and on Ryan's ranking site to say they are the best. Makes no sense. They have to be paid posters. No player in their right mind could say DirectBet is good with those kind of odds. The worst odds. We could post a sampling of their odds for a couple of days and all would see how bad they are.

I am not sure why directbet is D tough, is there some sort of complaints and scam accusations towards them or do you think they are bad in general? They are one of the oldest and most wagered sportsbooks I have heard of and I would be interested to know why are D and not C or B let alone A.
Now that books are processing payouts so fast, DirectBet lost their advantage of not needing an account. Their odds are bad, may be the worst, and they've confiscated money from approximately 6 players. Not only are winnings confiscated, but the bet amount too in a couple of cases. Bet confirmations can get delayed because of the system that they use. A bet may not get confirmed/rejected until the game goes final.
. The rating should be based on people satisfaction , and i think most people here satisfy on what directbet have done , that is why people is so angry and make a lot of complaint about that bad rating.
Other rating guides list DirectBet at the bottom or near the bottom. There's no getting around their betting system where they confiscate player's funds along with not getting a confirm/reject within a reasonable time on occasion.
It's one thing to cancel a winning bet, it's another to confiscate deposits/wager amount. In DirectBet's case, the wager amount along with winnings.

What is your strategy?
Considering the statements of claimants and based on my experience that victims are typically not willing to contribute anything to enforce their account balance, I decided to offer a "no cure no pay" Powerbet 75:25 litigation attempt:Powerbet scam litigation 75:25 in process, join + claim your money!

No reason not to add Fairlay. Great book with great, Pinnacle-like odds that I have been using for a long time. No reason not to include it, just because it is an Exchange. It's a Sportsbook as much as any of them are and it has proved itself to be fair and reliable over a long time - long relative to Bitcoin Books. The interface is a bit clunky and confusing for some, but a new, improved one is coming soon.

@PeepsPlace Why don't you add ratings to the listed exchanges?
btcbet.us is offline. You should remove it.

Hi Fairlay,
Thanks for the information on btcbet. Exchanges may be added down the line but at this time only the books are being rated.

I believe JetWin is only offering Live! Betting so far. They are not entirely back yet.
Has anyone been able to request and receive a payout from PowerBet in the past week?
GLTA
You were already warned March 20! Has anyone been able to request and receive a payout from PowerBet in the past week?
GLTA
Is your 4 BTC win prior to March 20 or did you win recently?
Now, after "Talk with powerbet" failed, what is your next strategy in an attempt to get your 4 BTC?
I kept my balance low there and they processed my withdrawals regularly and fast. Then after a winning streak, they stopped. But it sounds like no one is receiving payouts. Or are they? That's why I was asking - just to see if they were making any payouts to anyone or if they were just singling out me and other winners.
Not sure what we can do.
What is your strategy?
Are they responding to you?
Where do they operate from? .io is British Indian Ocean Territory, not that that means much.

lol, powerbet.io deleted most of my posts 2 weeks ago and today they deleted the last 2 ones
They could delete these 2 posts 2 weeks ago but they did it only today
Perhaps they are in big trouble
Since we got his approval, here are just a few bets that contain clear indications of arbitrage betting (the 1st and most important is the stake value, than betting on double result - aggressive arbitrage - and - not to be ignored - the leagues the bets are placed on, which can also be a sign of arbitrage), of a rather long list:
Sc-esv Parndorf vs Ask Royal Sped Klingenbach Asian Handicap -1.5 Stake 92.27
Arsenal Tula vs Shakhtyor Karagandy Asian Handicap -1.5 Stake 51.39
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Cska Sofia Three Way - Cska Sofia Stake 40.04
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Cska Sofia Three Way - Draw Stake 51.82
The list can continue with stakes such as: 15.79, 8.84, 66.18, 132.21, 36.49, 94.05, 94.85, 58.61, 40.37 and so on.
For the punter, we strongly suggest this article: http://sportsarbitrageguide.com/avoiding_bookmaker_limits.php
This is probably behavioural pattern of an arber but its not actually proof that the customer is arbing.
+1
Another question :
Did you void the winner bets only or the loser ones too ?
Only winner bets. After last two wins my balance should have been 510 mbtc and thay updated it to 0. No details nothing and just banned me permanently.

We have this healthy habit of deleting useless "educated" (actually pure troll posts that won't change our policy against arbers) posts from random people. The arbiter complaint is there as well as our resolution to it. We consider this enough info for potential arbitrators to decide if they want to try their luck with us. As mentioned before, anyone can feel free to start their own thread about arbitrage policies of various bookies, including us of course, but please refrain yourself from posting such oppinions on our thread.
@OP, sorry for the intrusion on your thread - a very good one actually, but we felt this forum user that we quoted deserved a final reply from us. Maybe more arbitrators will finally understand that we have a strict policy against arbitrage, and we'll retroactively void arbitrage bets once deemed as such by clear indicators.
Hi powerbet,
Thanks for posting and feel free to post at any time.
The recreational bettor only clause is standard and used by most books.
As far as arbs go, are you talking in-house arbs where the player buys back the other side at powerbet to gain a profit. All bets are at powerbet? If that's the case, then you can cancel wagers.
If you are assuming that a player is an arbitrage player using powerbet with another book, then the accusation of a player being an arbitrage bettor isn't valid.
As far as the bonus goes, when a book has 100% bonus with an 8x rollover, it's going to draw many that multi-account. A book that accuses a player of multi-accounting must have air tight evidence that the player did indeed break the rules by multi-accounting.
This thread is a player protection thread. The rules that you have in place that have been invoked are for lower tiered books that should be avoided. Top books do not confiscate winnings.
You can ban a player, limit a player, but never confiscate winnings. A book that cancels winners free rolls players. The book keeps the losers and voids the winners. This isn't acceptable.
The only post by powerbet in this thread is included above.

Peeps,
Have spoken to the folks at PowerBet.io?
Where are they located?
Do you think they are on the up and up?
They may be okay but just very aggressive about penalizing professional players?
Limiting or banning players is one thing, but cancelling wagers and confiscating funds is another.

I've been in contact with them. From the contact that I've had with them, they seem to be good guys and I hope that they make it. At this time I have to respect their wishes to not publicly post some of the information that they have shared.
Their KYC rules are a negative. As you said, they penalize those that they claim to be professional.
There's no reason to jump through hoops to receive a withdrawal. There are other books that aren't going to ask for KYC information unless they winnings are substantial. The top books aren't looking to confiscate funds, they want to make sure that they are paying the right person.
Their margins are great but players should stay away from this book until they have more history and stop confiscating players funds.
Here are a couple of precautions that were given.

The 1xbit.com scam will remain D until someone ask you for help?
"D" books aren't recommended.
When lines of communication are lost, along with no pays, a book will be rated "F" since the chances of recouping losses is slim.
Oh, the chance to get powerbet balances is huge!
1xbit replies to communications. If anyone needs help, feel free to send me a PM.
btw why jetwin.ps not yet rated? i thought it was one of the oldest bitcoin bookmaker?
Their rating will be up again soon. They were offline for quite a while which is why they were taken down. It was done as a precaution to see if any changes had occurred.
you have listed them before but remove it when they announce will get offline for a while back in november or december if i remember correctly because of jetwin update and migration reason. they are up again and running well since few months ago i guess , and i have made a withdrawal smoothly last week, this could be my vouch for them.
