    Cloudbet.com Bitcoin Book

    I was just looking at this book and was wondering if they are any good. Would like to hear opinions from anyone who has played there, thanks!

    i have used them twice, paid within 30 minutes. The thing i didn't like was they close the betting options in live bets. Just the basics , one total, handicap. Anonibet has a lot more in play options . They will accept a larger single bet in play than anonibet. Overall they are a solid book

    Nice options, though payouts take hours instead of instantly like nitrogen.
    Do any books other then nitrogen do instant payouts?

    Most of the shops advertise instant payouts but have a time-frame attached in small print. Nitrogen is the only shop we know of that can pay instantly.

    For instance a poster claims Jetwin pays instantly but they actually list payouts processed every 2 hours.

    If the withdraw amount only 4-5 BTC or below then the withdrawal is instant at cloudbet.
    My last withdrawal took 10 hours which was above 4 BTC.

    Jetwin is a great book if you're US and you bet soccer, closest thing to an Asian book as far as number of markets. Customer service top notch, never had an issue with them. They are lacking in NCAA football, it's my understanding this will get better in the future. Supposedly live betting in the near future also. We'll see.

    I use Heritage for football, they take bitcoin. I'll consider 5Dimes if they ever streamline their bitcoin deposits/withdrawals, too much hassle as it stands.

    directbet is instant payout. I have received multiple payouts. You don;t request payout , they automatically send to bitcoin address, usually 10-15 minutes after match is complete .

    The last time I used them they closed the bets 10 minutes before the game started. Their lines aren't as good as other BTC book so I stopped using them.

    Nitrogen - Instant. A small percentage is red-flagged and will take longer.
    Jetwin - Instant    . A small percentage is red-flagged and will take longer.
    Cloudbet - All over the place.

    Does Cloudbet always pay everyone within 24 as advertised? Do you feel player funds are safe there?
    So far my 1st withdrawal was 3 hours, 2nd was 90 minutes.

    I keep reading that jetwin is really bad to steam players, that they cancel steam plays, are quick to limit.
    Is this what a sharp should expect from them?

    never had that problem in soccer, but it does depend on type of bet. There was one match a team had a 2-0 lead with 20 minutes left. I tried to make a wager on the leading team and they stopped taking bets on the side.

    but they are instant pay if that is your main criteria

    Cloudbet seems to pay everyone within 24 hours and no one has been stiffed. They seem safe but they aren't Nitrogen safe.

    Jetwin is a recreational book and will limit steam and sharp players. My theory has always been take what you can get from a book. They are safe.

    DirectBet uses the "back" odds from Betfair adding more take out. There is a minimum amount needed at Betfair for DirectBet to put up a line. Many times there aren't lines up on one side or both since lines are dependent upon lines at an exchange. The lines at DirectBet aren't competitive in American markets.

    With deposit books when a bet is placed , the player gets notice if the bet is accepted or rejected in a short period of time, instant or a short delay to prevent steam plays. With DirectBet confirmation of accepting/rejecting a bet isn't made until the time the money leaves the players wallet until it reaches DirectBet's wallet.

    Most of the time this is immediate but there is also the possibility of not knowing if a bet is accepted or rejected for an hour or more. While this hasn't happened for a while, a few months ago confirmations were delayed on a daily basis. Most of the time it was due to the site going up and down, but it can be from any delay in DirectBet receiving a bet after coins leaving the player's wallet.

    Is there a difference in the small fee charged for the payouts depending on which book is sending it out?
    Cloudbet adds .0001 which they subtract from your balance. I can't tell if nitrogen charges anything or not.
    .0001 is about 2.4 cents right now.

    Nitrogen doesn't charge. For others, it depends on the book. .0001 is the highest fee that you'll ever have to pay.

    Would like to add that Cloudbet may take longer than 24 hours if a request is made on the weekend.

    This is not really true. After I saw you post this, I did get an instant payout for under 5. However, the last two times I tried to do instant payouts for under 4-5 it was hours rather than instant. Nitrogen fast they are not.

    I think there is a daily instant withdrawal limit , so if you get your 1st withdrawal at about 4-5 btc, then your next withdrawal in the same day will take hours. (because 4-5 BTC + 1-X BTC is higher then the daily instant limit at about 4-5 BTC )

    Give them a bit more than 24 hours but if they don't get back to you in a day or two (or if anyone else posts confirming the problem sooner) please fill in a complaint form http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sportsbook-complaint/

    had a problem a couple of months ago about a live bet, you have to be patient with their customer service. Other wise I'm very satisfied with what they offer, live bets can be a pain, like having to submit 20 times a bet before it gets accepted. withdrawals are almost instant.
    looking at what I need from a sportsbook this is my favorite bitcoin sportsbook for sure
