    First bitcoin experience

    Well guys, after 9 years of offshore gambling and using mostly p2p for deposits and payoutsx finally decided to take the leap. So have been with 5dimez forever but they were making it hard with all the delays and issues recently. Finally made a blockchain account and circle and decided it was time! Won a couple bets and just withdrew 1k via bitcoin through the online cashier. They said the epay dept starts processing at 9am...so heres hoping it goes smoothly as people have made it seem! Will keep updated!

    When you get a chance I recommend throwing a few dollars worth of BTC into some of the pure BTC books such as Nitrogen Sports, the deposit and withdrawal times will be very speedy.

Will wait it out.

    Ok can any bitcoin specialist answer this? Now kind of nervous...when putting my wallet id for my blockchain..i assumed it was the address that shows up on the bottom after you click receive...but now just looking at my settings..for wallet id..its a completely different address. Did i goof? Funds have already been removed and 5d says its ok but its been an hour and nothing in blockchain.

    Your bitcoin public address should be 34 characters long, not to be confused with the blockchain.info specific wallet ID.

This morning, still nothing so i called in and they said there was some issue with their 3rd party processor on why it didn't go through and they need to find out where ot haplend. And to check back in 30 minutes. So far not as easy as thought..will follow up.

    You should check out nitrogen. Bitcoin withdraws in 2 minutes any time of day even 3 in the morning on a Sunday. No waiting for next day or 3rd party processors whatever the hell that means.

    dont forget they are a legit book also now

    Bitcoin not regulated it is why most Euro licensed books might stay away from it

    Well..after 4 hours..called back and they advised me it was fine and paid out even though still nothing in blockchain...shortly after received an email advising there was an issue with their processor and thats why it was never credited but now its fixed.. but funds have been returned to my account and i can resubmit a request. Frustrating, going to try it one more time and hope for the best..so far i guess im just having bad luck with a rare mishap of bitcoin.

    I don't understand what possible problem they could have sending the money. Their processor? All you have to do is enter a bitcoin address to send the money. I don't get it. Sounds like they are making excuses.

    I love the betting options...but their cs really does suck..they are never on the same page...always different information given out depending on who you speak too...going to try nitrogen next after this.

    Yeah don't get me wrong 5 dimes has much better betting options than nitro but nothing compares to nitrogen payouts. You can deposit, bet 1 game and then cash out or you can play poker a few hours and cash out. Also you can cash out 10 times a day if you want. None of the big books that I know of let you do that. It's always 1 cashout per day.

    Let us know how you go with Nitrogen ParlayKing, I'm confident you'll probably end up preferring them over 5Dimes. Their BTC processing is obviously a lot quicker and they just clone Pinny lines and ad a little bit of juice. They won't have as many prop options as 5Dimes but they are the best BTC book going around for a reason.

    Hi just a quick question about Bitcoin. I have the blockchain app but I've never gotten a payout yet. When I go to recieve on blockchain and click the barcode it says copied to clipboard and gives me a number string I'm guessing that's the address you give the book to recieve? Just want to make sure I give the right info when I decide to use it

    Yes that is correct. It should be 34 characters. For anyone who is nervous about their first btc transaction I suggest setting up 2 wallets and sending btc back and forth a couple times. That way you can really be sure you have the correct wallet address. Once you've made a significant amount of transactions it becomes like second nature though. BTC RULES! Especially for us gamblers...

    Like I said before nitro the fastest with payouts. If it takes 10 minutes that is a long time with them. Also no email or phone verification b.s. with them.
