I'm also curious as to why operate a sportsbook behind Tor? Is it to circumvent laws and regulations? I'd say brilliant job if so. I hope you guys get a lot of users making way for the creation of more gambling services in Tor.
We did consider other currencies like Eth and Lite but other markets other than bitcoin represent too much price/value risk. Bitcoin is the most established and liquid crypto currency market. For example, if we bought a huge stock of Eth just before it crashed, we'd be left with a huge loss that we can't hedge against.
We're using tor just as you said. It gives us a lot more freedom to operate without massive overheads, which in turn, we can offer better odds.
Thanks for your questions.
I'm curious on what type of sportsbook software you're using. Did you buy your software or did you have to create one from scratch? I'm also interested in setting up a sportsbook someday and it would be nice to get a few tips from you to get started. I was thinking of setting one up in the clear web but making it a hidden service in Tor isn't such a bad idea as well.
