Topic: Bitcoin Only Payment Provider (Read 438 times)
rofl, nice catch. Fixed
Don't use blockchain.info. They have not been very reliable in the past AFAIK. I see some rely on Cubits.
a) They can change your mind at any point, ...
There are few services which provide api access without asking lots of question, you can take blocktrail for example. They provide good api service from which you can actually receive, send, withdraw or anything you like. I think if you have few knowledge about running bitcoin full node, better to have own bitcoin server to manage payments.
Even if blockchain.info does allow your gambling site, I'd strongly recommend against using it
a) They can changeyour their mind at any point, leaving you scrambling for a solution
b) They have *horrible* uptime, you can always identify sites that use blockchain.info by how often they're bitcoin system is down
c) You have to trust a third party with one of the more critical parts of your site
And FWIW last time I saw blockchain.info used for a hot wallet it didn't work out anyway, the amount of unspent outputs would always converge to 1 and not allow spending unconfirmed outputs. (This might have changed, that was over a year ago)
Instead I'd recommend setting up your own copy of bitcoin core, and querying it over rpc. I currently have one setup in pruning mode on a small server, and doesn't use an excessive amount of resources and works pretty well.

I'm looking for a Bitcoin payment provider for a Bitcoin Only Gambling Project.
Most Bitcoin Provider change in Fiat. The Bitcoins to be sent after successful payment to another Bitcoin address.
So far I have found only blockchain.info.
Blockchain.info requires the description of the website: https://api.blockchain.info/v2/apikey/request/
Accepted Blockchain.info gambling sites?
or can anyone suggest an alternative?
