Instant withdrawals wins the vote, I guess a lot of us really wants that kind of feature in sportsbook.

Personally speaking I don't mind if payments are sent within 24 hours because with sportsbook I usually cash my winnings once I have accumulated something significant while when playing casino instant withdraw is a must, sportsbook not so much but yeah if instant even better.

That's the kind of discipline I admire, but mind you, there's always a risk of letting your money sleep in a casino, if they go scam, your money will be gone, but then that is only in rare cases if you are betting a reputable gambling sites.

The odds is not a problem as they can get the best odds provider in the market, in terms of length of operation, it's important but I don't fully trust my money in crypto casinos, that's the reason why I don't keep it there, instead I have a frequent transaction to withdraw and deposit funds, so instant withdrawal is very helpful.

You must be doing sports betting at a small scale because I have been with people who bet big and all they want in their sportsbook is actually the highest possible odds because imagine betting on 2.1 odds and somewhere else 2 odds and you bet 1 bitcoin then you are going to miss like 0.1 bitcoins every time you bet.

Really huge difference for big bettors in sports, they need to get a good odds, you are right.
I think most sportsbook in crypto now has been competing well with betting odds already but based on the example, 2.10 or 2.0 is still a good odds as you are not paying a juice for it.

There are only a few sportsbooks that have been operating for a long time and have TRUST. Because to get it must go through a process
the long one. Therefore only popular sportsbooks usually have trust features, because they have to provide the best service and can provide
comfort to its users. And features like that that a sportsbook must have, in order to make a sportsbook reliable.

Most commonly feature that I'm looking for in a sports book is its reputation and how long did it operates.

It is hard to find a reliable sportsbook nowadays because some are really not convenient for me. I really want to access a sportsbook that operates for almost 5 years and really fast in troubleshooting errors or issues in their platform. I also want a sportsbook that is not that hard to navigate, that will not make me confused on how to use it. Also the deposits and withdrawals are the thing that I'm preferring if it is fast and the transactions don't have any delay or unprocessed in a certain sportsbook. Like what I've said, the important thing for me is the quality of service and trust.

Reputation is the obvious and highest priority because if you cannot trust the sportsbook then there is no reason if you are winning or loosing because you don't know if you are actually winning or is it just an illusion because the sportsbook might not process your withdrawals.

But apart from trust, I feel like cash-out is a great feature now a days that I look for in any sports betting website I come across because when my team is loosing I can always cash-out the bet and rather than loosing it completely I save something and similarly when my player/team is doing good I can cash my betslips if I feel the cash-out is good enough.

I have tried both, they don't have an instant withdrawal, did you use them recently, and you experience it?

I've made a few withdrawals from Stake recently, they're not instant like sportsbet but it's still fast I think mine got processed within 5-10 minutes.

If examined deeper, a very good feature on the Sportsbooks website is 'withdrawal'.
In good terms, being able to receive full payment even though the competition isn't over, and by locking in profits, it usually happens to guess the score, that's what I like the most. Sportsbooks gambling sites can lock in the win.

By "withdrawal" you mean the cashout feature right ? It is a good feature but for it to work they have to improve their live betting since the cashed out amount heavily relies on the offered live odds.

After years of revolutions in sportsbetting with respect to crypto environment, I was thinking like almost every requirement of a common gambler has been achieved. But after coming across this topic I am just wondering still there would be more possibilities to make our experience better if gambling houses will be listening to our suggestions and ideas. It is really surprising that people are looking forward regardless of what they had in the past. We cannot blame them because this is how all revolution of service industries are happening.

Honestly I'm not having any big expectation with the features that I am already using for years still the houses I am gambling are not able to provide me good odds as they are buying it. Only when more gamblers will be joining into sportsbetting, I guess what I'm expecting might be happening.

We don't want to get troubles through withdrawal and I think our minds are uniting on it.

Yeah, the crowd goes with the instant withdrawal.

We hate it if there's a problem or the withdrawal takes so long.

This is the one that most sports bettors love, it's very costly in fiat casinos but it's very affordable in crypto casinos especially if you are using coins or tokens with very low transaction fee, and also there are some sites that shoulders the withdrawal fee, so that's another plus factor.

Odds are almost the same, sportsbook will ensure they'll avail the service from the best betting odds provider, thus, it will eliminate the opportunity of the arbitrage bettors to make money.

I think the influence of odds is very important and has a very strong effect because so far I am gambling when the odds are set to a very low value so the prize that is gained is very high but when the odds are set to a high value then it will get low results.

Please share your most important features. If you have more, please shout out below.

In addition to the 4 features that the OP mentioned, Sportsbooks has a large selection of other features provided such as: automatic betting & I prefer the 'trust' feature.

Sportsbooks, always making customers safe & peaceful, customers can use the game facilities without stopping 24 hours, There are many things that can be done on sportsbook sites, horse racing etc, changes in other forms, of course all of that to provide one sure guarantee of happiness that the user has.

If examined deeper, a very good feature on the Sportsbooks website is 'withdrawal'.
In good terms, being able to receive full payment even though the competition isn't over, and by locking in profits, it usually happens to guess the score, that's what I like the most. Sportsbooks gambling sites can lock in the win.

The sportsbet.io has no good reputation on forum and cloudbet is the site that deserves better treatment by pro gamblers, IMHO. It matters to know at the end, gamblers will be able to withdraw earning in a matter of minutes whenever they wish. It is dangerous to use hot wallet and experts usually adivse to use the sportsbooks with Cold Storage.

In what basis you are looking sportsbet has a bad reputation? I am not seeing a lot of post against this site, TBH, I believe they have improve a lot.
Look, they have more trust than a negative trust.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=832366

the only negative was from Zepher whom I believe can't change the rating anymore as the owner already passed away.

^ Probably right, I never heard major complaints against this sportbet.io. Probably he meant cloubet which is very true that gambling site had few bad complaints against them but so far, there is no consistency.
Nevertheless, back to the OP topic, I like sportsbook that has a variety of game which I can choose either sports betting to e-sports betting. People want to explore different games in one gambling site to avoid boredness.

People do directly make conclusions and finalization when just seeing up a negative remark or trust on a certain forum account without even tending nor even reconsidering on whats the views in most people here
on this forum towards sportsbet.

Ive been playing nor usinig up this platform for a while now when betting some sports and i didnt experience any issues in my part.For some there might be some problems but the most important thing is that they do know how to resolve it.

@Doublehunter, majority of sportsbook now does have that feature or integration when in talks of e-sports betting.

Haven't you find a sportsbook with instant withdrawal? if you haven't found yet then I think you can try sportsbet.io.. I have been using this site before the pandemic but I'm not sure if they still have the same now.

Stake.com and Nitrogen has the instant withdrawals, AFAIK.

For me trust rating comes first. Security and trustworthy are the most important things that I check at gambling site. I need to feel safe and secure to diminsh the possible scam chances or any other issues.
Also, fast or instant withdrawals are very nice features and important too but only if it comes together with trustworthy. That is why I prefers older platforms with some past and references. With brand new you can't exactly know what you'll get.

Well, all of these were on the voting poll result, the age of operation and the instant withdrawal which is particularly gamblers want upon choosing a good gambling site. The vast majority's choice was that and I think they are right. There are certain gambling sites that have different features but once they committed fraud activity their PR will perhaps decrease to the eyes of bettor's judgment. Indeed, --these are only major parts that not include the services had and of course it should have a good reputation.

The majority of gamblers look for safety and rational thinking is their gun towards scam casinos. The predator logic is the gambling mindset which lets the bonus hunters "hit-and-run" and even if you ask the above choices from them, I am sure the results will be the same as in this poll. The first important factor for choosing a gambling website is trust and the rest will follow the first one, IMHO. Losing the first conditional order will lead to a break sequence.
