    Who's currently using Bitcoins for payouts and deposits?

    I've been wanting to for months but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Anyone used Bitcoins and already dislike it? Is it the wave of the future? What is the best method to start out with? Thanks

    I like Bitcoin but don't like the transfer fees they slap on you when ever you move the money.. That's the only complaint and draw back I have with Bitcoin..

    With Bitcoin you aren't gonna see fraud like when laying down your credit card number with the books... I recommend Bitcoin usage for that alone.. Can keep a Bitcoin balance as well and watch it grow like a stock, buy or sell when it peaks and dips if you are into that..

    It's just easier. A no brainer.

    Personally, I think people move it way too much every week. That's when you hear all the hang ups/delays.

    The most consistent Deposits and PO's with Bitcoin... best book is Heritage.

    Every other book has at least 1 flaw in regards to bitcoins coming in... or going out.

    Yes Coinbase is where you buy and sell.. That's home base for all exchanges.. Then you transfer your bitcoin money from Coinbase to where ever..

    Bovada is really good also.. They offer you really good bonuses for using Bitcoin.. It's really fast as well with very short wait time when depositing/withdrawing..

    I'm with BetDSI and Bookmaker.. Same books, I like them both and have been with them for years now... Both take bitcoin but no bonus's offered which kinda sucks when using bitcoin..

    Bovada works, never had a problem with Bovada ever and have been with them for years also.. They were a little slow with one payout request last year but I got paid eventually..

    slight correction/ BetDSI and Bookmaker aren't the same books. They just share some of the space.

    Everything else I agree with you.

    No not the same books, but the web page layouts and lines are typically the same on both books.. The website design, betting and line checking are identical on both books in other words..

    Bonus promotions and contest play are identical as well.. Even the deposit options and web design are identical..

    Great information. Bookmaker sent me a link to get started with them for a deposit. So I feel a lot better about it now since the majority of you are endorsing Bitcoins with high regards

    BM is great. I have been betting there for several years. Bitcoins are the way to go for sure. If you aren't using them, then you are still driving to video stores to rent movies rather than using Netflix.

    Deposits rarely unless I feel like using bitcoin profits. Withdrawals yes bro. I haven't looked back. Got coinbase and bread wallet. Just for fears off coinbase stopping my transactions I use my bread wallet to receive from bookmaker then bread wallet to coinbase then coinbase to bank account. Now you will pay fees but check it out I can wake up on a Tuesday morning request my money from bookmaker have it in my bread account same day transferred to coinbase then sold and in my bank account next day. Fast bro this is the perk no waiting a week to be paid. Bookmaker payouts bitcoin pretty fast and there a a+ book in my opinion.

    Keep in mind one thing... there's been a few posts about Depositing with a different form... and PO's with Bitcoin. Some books don't like when you do this. They want Bitcoin for your Deposits and Bitcoin for your PO's. I recommend doing it this way. For instance you can be a 5Dimes preferred Bitcoin user and also Heritage preferred Bitcoin user.

    Which is the safest method of buying bitcoins through coinbase. Bank account or credit/debit card

    Debit Card is instant with lower amounts, Bank account takes longer. Just depends on the amount and how fast you need it.

    anyone tried Quadriga?

    i find them the best for cashing out bitcoin to USD or CAD and than to your bank account..... lots of cash out options too .... free ones as well like (wires, bank transfers...) and some with small fees .... but best in the bitcoin game for changing bitcoins to $$$

    Yeah, I finally came around to using Bitcoin about 9 months ago. It's the only deposit/withdrawal method I use now.

    Tried signing up but they don't take U.S customers. That sucks. Seems like all the good places won't take U.S residents.

    I think this is the last year of non BTC deposits and payouts.

    The Bitpay card is great and I would expect other cards and products. The only negative is these new cards and solutions have not passed the test of time and could be bumpy.

    What service do you use for deposits?

    also

    Can transactions be done using a smartphone?

    Any insight would be appreciated.
