I am only interested in sports betting, so all bets should be settled correctly and payouts should be carried out without any problems. Also, maybe someone can comment on betting limits and bans/limits if you're a successful punter. I already know stake and am really very satisfied. Can you name bookies that act in a similarly serious and uncomplicated manner?
I think you have a lot of references here. There are many signatures from bitcointalk members promoting gambling sites. You can start there, and all the sites that have signature campaigns here have ANN threads, so you can also complain if you have problems with their games.
To be honest, I like playing on gambling sites that have ANN on this forum. On the one hand I feel more comfortable because I can complain here. From several cases that I read here, usually problems can be resolved properly in this forum.
If you are still unsure, maybe you can try by depositing a small amount of money, playing, and making a withdrawal. If you feel comfortable you can continue, otherwise there are many other sites that may be suitable for you
