    ETA on when The Greek will offer Bitcoin?

    Edit by SBR Staff: The Greek accepts bitcoin deposits, and bitcoin withdrawals will be added in the next few days.

    I read on SBR recently that The Greek will be dealing in Bitcoin soon. Any word when?

    i would guess not in the near future (2-3 years) if at all.

    why would they?

    i think the bitcoin option is only good for us-facing sportsbooks

    I use them a bit but yes their odds for what I bet on are rarely as good as I can get at Matchbook, Pinnacle or Centrebet so they're not getting much action from me.

    I asked them 2 weeks ago; said they are looking into it. Probably just a matter of time and should be available soon.

    We asked The Greek about this today; they are still exploring bitcoin and will notify all users upon an update to the cashier taking place.

    It is showing BTC as a deposit option on my Greek. No withdrawal option for it yet. I will use a trial BTC withdraw as soon as it is available.
