    sportsbet.io ?? Anyone here using them? How are they?

    Can't find much about them here at SBR. Nothing very recent.

    Looking for another btc only book with fast payouts as I'm really disappointed with Cloudbet, they are slow to grade and even slower with payouts. My last few payouts have taken over 24 hours when their site says "instant" payouts in most cases.

    For me payouts from bitcoin only books should not take more than 4 hours. 4 hours is acceptable but anything longer is no good. Instant is of course best.

    I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience with sportsbet.io. How fast are their withdrawals/grading etc? Any problems?

    Thanks

    Would not advise playing there if you are in the US. Don't try to get around it with a VPN because they clearly state they can and will request KYC docs

    Their withdrawals, if kept under 1 btc, are very quick. Larger withdraws draw scurtiny, and take several hours

    Stay away....also do not use cloudbet. The only reliable btc books are Fairlay, Nitrogen and Betcoin with Fairlay withdrawls being instant nitrogen few hours and Betcoin up to 48 hours esp if u play poker

    Yeah Cloudbet has been total garbage. What do you know about them that you say "stay away" ?

    I like Fairlay but have found that they don't usually have much liquidity in NHL hockey even a couple of hours before the games start, also navigating the site is a pain with all the tiles and shit.

    Why explicitly stay away from sportsbet.io ?

    I have read on other btc forums that the owners are sketchy and have been involved with other sites that have stiffed players. Here on sbr too have seen some not so good posts....esp for USA guys I’d say do not Use

    I have been reading the sportsbet.io thread over at bitcointalk and I don't see anything that concerns me. I'm not in USA so I don't have to worry about getting around any restrictions.

    I am going to give sportsbet.io a try. When playing at btc only books I always withdraw any balance back to my wallet at the end of each day so I think I will find out quickly if I will have any issues with sportsbet.io.

    i have seen some talk of them on btc forums and too many complaints for me to be comfortable with them plus I did read about the the management being tied into past scams and sketchy sites....I checked them out and seems odds are nothing special and all BTC books I mentioned are better odds...google Government of Curaçao under the gaming license 1668/JAZ to be safe

    I agree with all except that Betcoin payouts are very fast. I'm not why but your Nitrogen payouts seem to be longer than others. It may have to do with poker play. Mine are around 15 minutes although I'm not playing poker there right now. I have in the past.

    i have had betcoin payouts as fast as 15 mins and sometimes into next day or two....But you are right it is due to poker play as they review those sometimes from what I heard...Also my sample size for Betcoin is much smaller on Withdrawals then Fairlay and Nitro where I do many in and out...Nitro too withdrawls maybe slower for me then others due to poker as my full house just gets cracked by bigger one but still always within few hours max

    I scoured the bitcointalk forum for complaints about sportsbet.io and after reading the few complaint threads I don't think they are a bad book.

    Made a deposit today after receiving an email from them telling me my acct is good to go and my ID was accepted as part of the KYC process.

    FYI: sportsbet.io allows wagering immediately with zero confirmations. Good for late deposits.

    I regularly take out anywhere from .1 Bitcoin to 1 Bitcoin with no problems; all within a matter of minutes.
    This company sets this standard high cause I don't know if there are others that offer this fast of a service.
    (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
    Edit: The zero confirmations is fantastic for last minute bets

    They are the closest thing to DirectBet, which literally allowed the most LIVE wagering options (before it went under)
    There are often LIVE wagering options you won't find anywhere else in crypto land.

    Their lines are bad and because they allow wagering will 0 confirmations instead of 1, they confiscated money claiming attempted double spend.

    First of all, I love this site; and I don't want to offend your thoughts on Sportsbet.
    I just feel they get an undeserving bad wrap sometimes.
    Their lines are getting better; and the Price Boost feature makes their odds more competitive.
    Regarding confiscating money, they returned the cheater's initial deposit of 15 BTC, and kept the 6.5 BTC he obtained from cheating:

    I think they are a good operator and run a better shop than most others.

    Sportsbet has a great feature where you can cash out a bet during the game, payout determined by score/time

    I respect little konie and Raiders opinion about sportsbet but I don't think I'll have any issues as I'm not based in the US.

    One of the unique wagering options Sportsbet offers is the ability to Parlay a Live bet with a pre-match.
    I don't think there are any other Bitcoin sportsbooks that allow this.
    Great way to reduce the juice!
