Yes, Nitrogen has lapses sometimes, and just like other sportsbooks, there are also things to be polished but what's good about it is its good reputation that's why most gamblers trust it. I must say that it deserves the first spot because it has continuous development through the years.

I'm not sure about that continuous development because most of their changes came from their casino side like the slots, blackjack, etc.

The only big development i've seen on their sportsbook was the UI rework and the esports upgrade since they're able to get Ultraplay which provides the best esports markets.

Even with their solid reputation, you can find a better sportsbook that would offer a better experience.

Here you can find the Rating of TOP 20 Bitcoin Sportsbooks: http://100bookies.com/bitcoin-sportsbooks-eng/

Some of them are also promoted here in this forum, using a signature campaign. Wow.. We can see how successful they are.
Ad, after checking them, some of them were also created in 2013, several websites. I wonder how in that year, gambling sites might be strongly started to be more and more popular, moreover in relation to cryptocurrency.

About NitroBetting, this is new enough, created in 2021, and become on the top 2? Is the review real enough for this? Or is this really a very good sportsbook site?

NitroBetting (http://100bookies.com/nitrobetting-review/) it is just a new version of the Nitrogen Sports website (http://100bookies.com/nitrogen-sports-review/), which has been operating since 2014 and is one of the most popular Bitcoin sportsbooks.

Rating of TOP 20 Bitcoin Sportsbooks see here: http://100bookies.com/bitcoin-sportsbooks-eng/

The ratings are fair.
Nitrogen is a fair contender for the number one spot as it's been flawless for these long years.
Sportsbet could be given a higher rating, they too have established themselves as one of the best sportsbook though they had some accusations, most of them are solved.
Their odds are generally greater than most of other sportsbook. As of odds, fairlay is the winner but it's too complex for most of the people.

Nitrogen isn't flawless yet they have issues too and also they do have low odds compared to others.The thing here is that

they do get such reputation when Directbet closes its doors and all attention diverted into Nitro that's why we do presume that it might be the top
sportsbook as of this moment. I somehow agree with the ratings on what I saw.

Recently there have been some changes in our rating, see the updated rating of TOP 20 Bitcoin Sportsbooks at this link: http://100bookies.com/best-bitcoin-sportsbooks-eng/

Your website would look more reliable if it was not filled with affiliate links - they can give the impression that you are more interested in money than the highest quality content. The fact that you have got 1xbit, commonly reported as a scam, in the top 10 shows you are more interested in making a cut from commissions than giving a proper rating to these sports books. It would be much better if you gave a specific rating system, because it seems rather random at present and the order seems to depend heavily on how far up the list you want the site to go. Maybe rate it on certain criteria so it looks more impartial and unbiased: E.g. security, deposit functionality, quantity of games, length of service, public exposure of the company. Maybe include some text to the effect that you are receiving money from these sites for each user signed up from your links as it will come across more honest.

In fact, 1xbit has a rather low rating on our site (C), which in itself signals a low level of trust in it. Our main goal is to provide a wide range of Cryptocurrency Sportsbooks for players. And where to play, let everyone decide for himself, since any sportsbook has both advantages and disadvantages. In fact, we are trying to show an honest rating of cryptocurrency sportsbooks, despite the fact that there are also affiliate links there. It's just almost impossible to please every user of this site, since every player considers their favorite sportsbooks to be the best.

Well there are many who have open accusations and have a feedback regarding their shady behaviour. As someone to do this kind of work, you should also consider rating such books with the accusations and how safe it is to play there.

Agree with Avirunes.

You could not just rely on a website that is making a list just for their own profit in advertising.
There must be real experience and stories to let us see who is really on the top which are answering most of their customer problems specially when there is an issue with deposits and profits.

Those ranking could just be the number of visitors and clicks for the website which could be done in an easy way paying a little money.

When compiling a rating, we use a combined approach, so this generally reduces the risk of obtaining an unfair rating.

I think it's pretty clear that your approach is a complex one since the list mainly makes sense. For one, I completely agree that Sportsbet.io belongs in the top-three websites. But the first two... They are definitely popular, but Avirunes is right about trust. BetCoin is involved in probably the most popular scam story with the jackpot. However, the owners are now different people, and the website has been working on regaining trust and reputation. As for Nitrogensports, it's also a pretty popular website, but there are two red flags for their official bitcointalk account. Take a look at this list, perhaps it can help you to take another factor into consideration: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/trust-flag-of-casinodice-sites-owners-5154971.

Good to see that you're making a few bucks out of this whole thing. I'd include a message here that there are referral links on here and that the owner is making money out of this whole thing.

Not saying that is compromising the list or anything, but it nice to leave a note of that in this post to ensure that people know that information before they bet on a site that is 'reviewed' and also paid for (in a way)

In fact, we do not demand payment from sportsbooks for placement in our rating.

Not saying that you do, just mentioning that you're making some money out of it due to the referral links for the sites.

Wouldn't it be nice to mention that to the people? Just for a little transparency.

It makes absolutely no difference for people to register by referral links or by regular links. Therefore, there is no special need to additionally report this, since it is more likely to create a misunderstanding for those people who do not know anything about it. In fact, players do not incur any additional costs when registering by referral links. And for our part, we are trying to build fair ratings. They do not depend on referral links or the amount of earnings from them. In addition, it is not so easy to earn any money on referral links, as you imagine.

I should say many here in the forum is very familiar with NitrogenSports and since 2012 it is up and running and officially marks as a legit source of gambling sports bookies using cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin,

But I really thought that Sportsbet.io will really make it to the number 1 spot because as I remember back then there is a poll thread that entitled Top 10 Sportsbooks, And Sportbooks.io is the one at the Top, But this is their own opinion and in my opinion base by their own judgment I think they are base on the year certain gambling site was established if you would look at it on the year they had started.

Our rating is not final, so each bookmaker can still improve his position if he deserves it. However, we must admit that it will be difficult for other sportsbooks to displace Nitrogen Sports from the first place in the near future, as he was the first in this business and so far continues to be the best.

That's a fair list, and this will surely help more common users get into the right gambling websites for all their gambling needs. With more and more gambling websites into existence there were a large number of gambling websites that gets viewed on the Google pages which were completely the phising sites. Now if this link gets reflected on Google search one who is entering the gambling websites will get into the trusted source.

All I see is just a simple list, if you could give me some criteria about the ranking, I would appreciate that.

To compile the rating we use an integrated approach: when evaluating the bookmakers we take the opinions of the betting business experts and players feedback, as well as information about the websites of the sportsbooks in global Internet traffic by data Alexa Rank (alexa.com).

Interesting. I viewed the cons for just one sportsbook and compared it to another, and though both sites lacked the same feature the con was only listed for one site and not on the other.

Seconding Avirune's comment as well. There are very few review sites out now that actively deal with the changing state of reputability among casinos, and doing so would put you above the other sites.

Also, I assume the Global Rank of the sites is the corresponding Alexa rating for the sites?

All I see is just a simple list, if you could give me some criteria about the ranking, I would appreciate that.
