Hi erpbridge,
Thanks for the question. We've always had a disclaimer on our rules page describing our deposit relationship with confirmations:
Deposit Confirmations
Nitrogen reserves the right to require confirmation of user deposits before bets can be placed on the Sportsbook with those funds. Confirmations are a function of Blockchain alone and cannot be influenced in any manner by Nitrogen staff.

That being said, we're being extra careful with the potential activation of BIP 91 this Sunday, and the small transaction risk it might pose. We found this would be the least invasive way to protect player transactions.
It was designed as a temporary measure and we'll update our players when deposits quicken up again. It's certainly not in our interest to impede player activity in any way shape or form.
Thanks,
- Jason.
