I've also heard that bitcoin sites don't like you dealing with sportsbooks, and can even close accounts such as coinbase. But sportsbooks are pushing them as the main method to pay and withdraw, and it's the quickest/most effective way to get large amounts. (Gambling primary source of income poker/sports) so trying to figure the best route.

Interesting haven't heard anyone confirm account closure dealing with sportsbooks, and seem to be the most often reported withdraw method on SBR each month on the payout report.

My brain hurts.

Only website was Coinbase... and that was during the beginning of 2017. Haven't heard of anyone complaining about it recently.

I currently only use coinbase and gdax, and an waiting to be verified on one other. What are the sites you'd most recommend, for sportsbooks withdraws, deposits etc. for someone within the US, preferably sites that process withdraws and deposits relatively quickly

5 dimes... after your third btc withdrawal, they'll make you "Bitcoin exclusive" and can most likely have the btc in your wallet within 48 hours

You should definitely not request a payout directly to your Coinbase wallet. Go from the book to a blockchain wallet and then to your preferred wallet. Extra step, but rather do it than lose the priveledge of using coinbase and gdax

The question was sites on the bitcoin side of things. Bookmaker is great with bitcoin, have been paid large amounts from them within 9 hours almost every time. I'm just asking in case coinbase has an issue, I don't want them to boot me because they're my main site I use for my investment into btc, so I'd like another site besides cb or gdax to deal with sportsbooks btc deposit and withdraw

Should've read this first. That was more of what I was getting at. Any site recommendations for solid block chain wallets not cb/gdax

**JIBBBY** · 11-17-17, 02:53 AM

I know Coinbase has upped their security measures with confirming identities.. Asking for photo ID's and other stuff now to make future transactions.....

Must be a breech some where? Hackers and security breeches are happening like crazy now with the technology and hacking tools available to criminal minds.. Damn shame!!

Price to up grade internet security systems by all major companies are typically always passed off in the end to paying customers like me an you.....

Look man get a bread wallet. Bookmaker usually 8-12 hours if you get it in first thing Friday usually it's in bread wallet mid afternoon/evening then to coinbase then to bank account...coinbase on a Friday you most likely get your money on Monday/Tuesday...fuk 5 slimes

**ans61201** · 11-17-17, 05:28 AM

Well may have spoke too soon.

Please anyone with info:

I created a coinbase account about two weeks ago. Fully verified with ss # and photo ID. Then verified my bank account. They started me with a 5k buy limit.

I bought 2500 btc, and 2500 usd. They then raised the limit for week and I bought 3 more btc purchases 1k, 575, 525.

They were all taken out of my bank account within a day or so, it's been over a week, all of them are still pending. I go to buy more and it says my coinbase buys are currently disabled.

I did do two bookmaker transactions in the last week (I hope this has nothing to do with it) semi decent sign they didn't ban account just disabled buys.

Googling coinbase disables, a ton of people write about this happening and not being able to get ahold of anyone, and never reinstates anyone. Being new and excited about this I'm super bummed to see this.

The account has plenty of funds and no chance of fraud. The only possible thing I can think of is that I also created my wife an account just to have one to trade with, or for potential tax purposes, but have not made any buys from her account (but I do log in from the same device, to verify all of her stuff etc) I don't know if that's against TOS.

Also a shared bank account with her that I used for the initial deposits.

Anyone experience this? If I get screwed where do I go. Obviously gdax is connected with them so would be screwed by them too :/

Looking at the time you posted, your buys were likely disabled (assuming you tried to buy around that time) because of the anticipated fork yesterday as Coinbase said they were going to do in an email they sent last night.

If they decide to ban you for the gambling, they will tell you.

The bank account will definitely link them, and to say you wish you had read not to ignore coinbase's TOS and send from them direct to books just says you read nothing before starting. Because it's mentioned in almost every thread about them and highlighted in each SBR tutorial!

But I'd guess it is the having two accounts thing that has you on hold. Or you have simply hit an internal limit for how much in uncompleted transactions you can have open maybe.

I would not worry too much either way though. It doesn't sound like you have done anything with them to warrant a penalty. And if they decide they dont want your business, they will return all your money from previous experiecne.

**TheMoneyShot** · 11-17-17, 04:16 PM

So, what really happened last night?

**ans61201** · 11-17-17, 05:49 PM

Sounds like I'm going to get completely screwed by coinbase. Buys disabled, got ahold of support, they emailed back it was probably a mistake but they'd send to supervisor to get overturned:

Just receive an email, first btc purchase I made that's been pending over a week was cancelled $2500, at (5800 btc rate), in assuming the other 4 purchases I made will soon follow.

This blows.

**Outsider626** · 11-17-17, 09:14 PM

Coinbase is for beginners. Gemini and GDAX is the best.

**shocka1212** · 11-17-17, 09:20 PM

Just a littl market correction.. should stabilize around 7400-7500 for the weekend

Loving Gemini so far. When you have An issue with coinbase, you automatically have one with gdax.

Sounds like they found no fraud and are correcting that part of the account, but screwing me on the 5800 btc purchases.

Seems odd, it was over a week, and the day it's supposed to clear I get that message. how easily could they have just purchased btc and then just sold it at the profit and told me my account was fraudulent, cancel the order. cant help but wonder if it would've cleared had btc been at 4800 right now :/

**ans61201** · 11-18-17, 06:13 PM

ETH going up!

curious...what is the reason(s) you think this will happen? LTC has been stuck between $50-$80 for a while now.

institutional capital is about to get poured in. I have a lot of data charted out to back it up, really hard to put into words here.
