    They allow you to sign up using a VPN. There may be a problem come cash out time if they do KYC.

    99.9% Chance this place won't pay you if you win big and are from the U.S. What's the point of risking it when there are about 50 well established books out there compared to a place that opened a month ago. Makes no sense to me.

    Not going to risk it because if they kyc me I'm screwed. If you are playing with a couple hundred then maybe it's worth the risk. More than that, forget it.

    Yeah thats the insane thing about Nitrogen. They ban you if you even mention another gambling related site, even if its not a competitor.

    Imagine sitting in Mcdonalds with a friend and you mention Burger King and an employee comes and throws you out of the restaurant

    Does anyone use the "cashout" option on their in progress bets ? I have used it 3 times, each time when my play looked dead, and wanted to salvage something, and all 3 times the bet ended up winning. I dont think id ever cash out in opposite situation. Still nice on parlays having a built in hedge option

    Just my suspicious mind again.

    But does anyone else wonder how they can take 100k bets on small college games when traditional books would mostly have $250ish limits on stuff like this?

    Well the 100k was the risk amount, not the win, and if he is betting that much he surely has vip limits, which most guys do not have access to.

    Yeah I guess the exposure for the book is only 3k on that one.

    Still, I don't fully understand why established traditional bookmakers don't offer those sort of bets if Stake can do it profitably.

    Wide margins in their Sportsbook due to their good reputation with their Casino.
    There are still better options out there and I would not chance using a VPN here.

    I've used cashout when I am behind in a a game and will likely lose the wager. Getting even a fraction of the bet back is a help.

    I think I am too optimistic to cashout in time when I am losing. Always gets down to peanuts before I want to do it.

    So far stake has been a good experience. Better odds most of the time than sportsbet.io.

    The site layout is nice and everything functions quickly and well. I am also a fan of betcoin and nitrogen but their sites don't perform anywhere near as fluidly as the stake site.

    Yeah I agree. Only complaint with layout is not being able to see ML / Spread / Total of each game on one page and instead having to click each individual game. But they said they are changing that some time this month

    Had my first winning day at Stake.com and withdrew my balance. Withdrawal was instant.

    instant.

    Instant, as in less than 1 second from the time I typed in my 2FA code and hit send.

    Stake is now my favourite bitcoin only book. And not just bitcoin, they accept many crypto currencies and allow you to convert on the site.

    Everything has been flawless. Instant withdrawals are nice too.

    Something doesn't seem right. You may want to write them a support ticket. Major markets such as the NFL are 2 BTC pregame and .5 BTC live. Looks like Stake and Betcoin are still using the same provider although the vig is still a tad better at Betcoin.

    True, was skeptical about them at first, but seems legit.

    Have been round and round with David and Randy about this to no avail. They have promised me several times higher limits were coming.

    Stake is definitely a good book, Eddie is a good owner. Unfortunately lots of books are taking that approach with the US thing. Could change business, but they're pleased with where they're at.

    No I don't use the chat on Stake.

    When at Nitrogen the only reason I used chat was to ask the mods to grade a wager that was stale.

    I haven't had any reason to ask mods @ Stake.com for assistance as the site has worked as it should, with very fast grading of wagers.

    Did I mention my withdrawals have been instant?
