now I had an idea for a great bet, wanted to go there and it's gone.
Are there any good alternatives? Trusted ones?

Augur just launched, maybe give that a try.

In theory, the first time the "trusted third-party" scam risk can be eliminated.

Yes, at the same time giving birth to the "creating a deliberately incorrectly defined market" scam.

Encrypted Money, Baby!

So... does anyone know what actually happened to the site?

When it was still owned by MP, I used it a few times… now I had an idea for a great bet, wanted to go there and it's gone.
Are there any good alternatives? Trusted ones? The recent operators don't seem like they did a great job running the site, so anything with a little less sloppy management would be great.

Please do not PM me loan requests!

The domain name got renewed, although BitBet hasn't paid any bets in weeks. Actually, since right when Irma made landfall in Florida. Sad

Approaching its expiry on 24-october but i am still able to place bets on it. It has also sufficient gap till renewal due.
Also looks bitbet has 5 moderators. according to whois reports, it is ususlly interacted from different 5 ip addresses. It is a strange activity

Well there is proof, that if the site is very close to domain expiry what does it tell you about its reliability. Most people renew their domain well advance of 6-12+ months and they renew it for maybe a decade so they won't forget.

Also domain renewals are very cheap, if they can't afford it or they are cheap, then imagine what kind of solvency problems they might be having if they can't afford to even pay their domain renewals.

I thought this site was very interesting and have hired a developer to create a similar one hosted by Bitcoin.com
I would love some feedback from the community on what features you would like it to have.
The developer has started a thread about it here: https://forum.bitcoin.com/topic32927.html
Please post your feature requests there, and we will build it.

Wow, didn't think the big Roger Ver "Bitcoin Jesus" would actually be active in the gambling topics.

I've used your forum before, however why is it whenever I make a post, I have to go thru CAPTCHA twice. The first time doesn't work and then I have to do another CAPTCHA again before my post is registered.

I have used Bitbet.us occasionally for years and had 1.5 BTC in open bets on the site. Considering that the site has been down for days without any announcement, I am concerned that the owner chose to take the money and run.

However, I can confirm that none of my deposit transactions have yet been moved.

Oh, that's sad, never leave such amount into a site wallet, the probability of you be scammed is enormous, always transfer ASAP your Bitcoins to a desktop / hot wallet.

BTW, what's going on here? I see the site is down, is there another thread about bitbet.us? Also there is a new member account here, so everything is OK now?! Did you get your btc back?

this is a fake site,A governmental body in any jurisdiction would be fairly limited in their options to eliminate bitcoin. They may be able to regulate and hinder the two-way convertibility with political currencies but that is more of a conversion issue rather than an attack against bitcoin transactions directly. Practical elimination of bitcoin would therefore require shutting down the telecommunications infrastructure that facilitates the peer-to-peer technology of the distributed block chain. Perversely, this action would hinder the rest of the e-commerce activity that occurs online.

Hopefully they will return again... but still disappointing to see a second extended downtime. Sad

Looks like they are gone, their support profile https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitbet-info-833154
is inactive since may 25 and there is no any official announcement regarding this downtime.

Last time the site was down for more than 2 weeks without word or notice. They returned then and paid out all due bets and continued to operate paying out some big bets, like the French election, in the mean time.

This time it's only been 1 week. It's possible the owner hasn't even noticed yet, he seemed an honest guy but wasn't the most active at maintaining the site.

Do you think we can sue them and get the money back?

Since the US considers BTC as real money, they should prosecute BTC thieves as well, like they do for real money.

It's gone? I haven't even heard of the name and it's gone already?

That's pretty bad news for any gambling site. People should really avoid these kind of gambling sites and just freaking play at the famous ones. I don't see any advantage of playing on those new sites and possible scam ones. What's the difference of those casinos to those that are well played at and reviewed vs. those that are a nut's hair away from the brink of destruction? Your pick.

The thing is people dont even believe a scam accusation these days even after showing a lot of proof. Why people still invest into these scam sites. When they cant hold on to their own domain, why will they even reply in the support system. It shows that they are not serious about their users. The best thing is to stay away from these sites and gamble only in top sites.

Seems that new bets take too long to get accepted.

There are pending bets that date back to June 16 ... and the first punters already put the money of course...

Please review the pending bets

Be smart and don't put your money in this 99% scam. You could just browse Scam Accusation section or read the whole topic.
They came, set a bookie, gained some trust and then disappeared with all the clients money.

Scam accusations looked like false alarms, and the issue described here apparently was solved, the site went back online...
so i was confident and i have created a few bets and put 0.12 BTC total.

But now i see that the site has issues again ( 404 Not Found ) and the support does not reply to private messages neither...
very fishy.
Luckily i have not lost that much Sad

Its hard to tell what is going on with this website. It can either be abandoned, a scam, or just a lazy dev (busy with other projects).

But at the moment with the way this site is being handled I think its best to just be cautious with your BTC and play somewhere else.

If the dev doesn't have time to fix these issues then its probably not a good idea to do business with them.
