Hello, 48 hours ago I placed some bets, In the past I always used low transaction fees, like 0.00001 BTC for a 2$ btc transaction, it always got confirmed in some hours and payout were fast, but with the latest bet I did I've been stuck by the big block of new transactions that actually are spending a really higher fees, as of now I can see on blockchain that there is approximately 30k unconfirmed transactions and the number is rising, I have some bets placed that are waiting confirmations from more than two days, and payout is on hold.
How system works in those scenarios? It waits for confirmations also if it takes longer?
If your bet status is "Settlement in Progress" it usually means that we are waiting for your initial bet transfer to have 1 confirmation in the network, before issuing the payout. This is required to ensure that we actually received your initial wager.
Usually, it takes a few seconds or minutes for your initial bet transfer to have 1 confirmation, so by the time your bet wins, it should get paid without delay.
However, the Bitcoin network is currently overloaded. If you send your bet transfer with low fees, it may take hours or even days to confirm.
Your bet will be paid out automatically as soon as your initial bet transfer is confirmed by the Bitcoin network.
