Bitcoin madness.

[dmonaco712]

Opened a Circle account and deposited 27.00. Sent 25.00 to 5dimes and the transaction was rejected
and my account frozen. They returned my 27.00. After 2 weeks of back and forth they reopened it
and I redeposited the 27.00. After reading these threads I got an intermediary wallet with blockchain.
I got a bitcoin address from blockchain to make the transfer which I plugged into Circle.
After about an hour Circle listed it completed. It showed up 3 hours later on blockchain with the label
watch only. Blockchain stated I needed a private key which I had no idea what it was or where to get it.

Blockchain said it was not generated by them and had no way of getting it. Circle also said it was not
generated by them and they had no way to get it. They claim it should have been included in the
original bitcoin address which came from blockchain. I do not remember a private key ever being mentioned.

So now it appears I lost the funds I have no way of accessing it. I tried everything. It is not a ton of money
but it is not the point. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Besides all this the bottom line is bitcoin is hostile to sportsbooks as indicated many times in this forum. Initial research made it sound like a panacea.
For me the big attraction was lower deposit limits. But if we have to steptoe around in fear of getting
caught than the benefits are not worth the headache IMO. My prepaid and bank debit card will do
fine as I have had no problems with them. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Can't quite remember what a private key is. I remember getting an ID # (which is a long string of #s) and I'm wondering if that is tantamount to a private key.

Try posting in the "Sports Book Industry" forum. There are always some helpful posts there and I've learned in that forum.

I think Sports Books have minimum deposit requirements even with Bitcoin.

Here are some FYI:

5Ds = $50
Bookmaker = $10
Heritage = $25
BetOnline = $20

Thank you I posted it to the industry forum. I started a new bitchain wallet to experiment and nothing mentioned about
a private key. I am sending 1.00 from circle I will see what happens. 5dimes which is my regular book does accept
$25 bitcoin deposits. Also discovered Heritage accepts $15 debit deposits which is great but they lack some line
offerings I love to play on 5 dimes.

This transfer went through

This time it went through I have no idea why.
