I see that Nitrogen is only a B on SBR? Why are they not ranked higher? Are there any better options? I've been a long time Heritage customer but they have not been BTC friendly. Thanks.

Nitrogen is because it is reduced juice. Heritage is a great book and would guess they will become better in the future if enough demand is there.Comment -
Hey bud, long-time Heritage guy here as well. Thinking about depositing the minimum with BTC to add to my current balance just to streamline future withdrawals.Originally posted by Majman
Any particularly reason you find them not "BTC friendly"?
Much appreciated.Comment -
I didn't find Heritage BTC friendly for several reasons. It took about 15 hours for them to apply my deposit, the live chat operators could not give any updates as to when such a deposit would be applied to my account because they said that there was only 1 manager who could authorize them and if he/she is unavailable, I'd just have to wait. Also, they chose not to cover my BTC fees, which was surprising since I have been a consistent loser with them and you would figure that they would want to do backflips to keep my business. Upon the time of deposit, I was told that the funds would be added to my account within 30 minutes or that I would receive an email that would give me an update as to the progress. I received none of these promises. They had me make calls every couple of hours and they had no answers. Of course, I missed out on the game that I wanted the action on.Originally posted by gwills
To me, Heritage has been a decent book but has several flaws in customer service, from live chat on up to the supervisors. At times, there is really nobody is offer assistance to a good customer when an issue occurs. A lot of times they will offer a free play and apologize for the poor service. This helps but honestly, I'd just rather receive better service.Comment -
Maybe Heritage will become better at it. I'll keep checking on here to see how player experiences are going. Can you be more descriptive as to your overall experience at Nitrogen? Good and bad? Much appreciated.Originally posted by edawgComment -

Heard excellent things about Nitrogen. It would be first choice among bitcoin shops. Just don't want you to burn a bridge with Heritage as they are run by probably one of the three most reputable in the industry.Originally posted by MajmanComment -
Nitrogen is the best if you bet the major sports (NFL, NCAA, NHL, NBA) because the limits are higher, and their deposit/withdraw is the best i've seen in the industry over 10 years. But if you like to bet tennis, soccer, or the 2nd tier sports, then the limits are quite lower.Comment -
No, I hadn't. Thanks for sharing.Originally posted by Optional
Heritage is fine..I just think that they need to create tiers of customer service to handle their better customers better. The Heritage Insider is really the only reliable person that I have communicated with at Heritage that seems to care.Originally posted by edawg
Great info. Thanks. I just wonder why SBR decided to grade them as a B. Perhaps because of how long they have been in existence?Originally posted by wildemuComment -
Longest in existence or grease the best.Comment -
Top 3 Bitcoin books:Originally posted by Majman
Anonibet - The book in business the longest opened in 2011. They currently have a 10% cash bonus with a 1x rollover. You'll like the live betting since they keep it open at all times, not just commercial breaks. In the NFL they offer alt spreads, alt totals and many other offerings live.
Nitrogen - Opened in 2012. For the NFL they are -105. Since Nitrogen clones Pinny, most are familiar with the offerings. They also have a 10 BTC free roll coming up in their poker room along with daily free rolls. Nitrogen has instant deposits and withdrawals.
Betcoinsports - Reduced juice shop -105 in the NFL. If you are a line shopper, this is a great place to be since their numbers will be best on one side of the other bitcoin books. True live betting in the NFL and other sports. They also have a nice poker room with free rolls.Comment -

Raiders man in the know for btc shops.Comment -
SBR sets the Rating to B for the competent books that have just been reviewed. Over time, that rating will go up/down depending on the book. But I've been with Nitrogen for this past year and they could easily be B+/A if it weren't for the introductory rules SBR has here.Originally posted by Majman
Maybe a B+ because I think the limits can be a pain in the ass for certain events.Comment -
These bitcoin books seem to have very efficient software and easy on the eyesComment -
Cloudbet's okay too, I never had any problems with them.Comment -
Would add JetWin to the list if you bet soccer. Many more markets than Nitrogen (30+ depending on league), lots of leagues/divisions. Closest thing US users will get to an asian book (along with Anonibet). Transactions are seamless. Good bonus for first timers. Best thing (imo) is they convert to fiat (your choice of currency) at deposit and back to btc for withdrawal at no charge. Easier to manage br and no price fluctuations to deal with. Some lines (soccer) are equal to Pinnacle, others a little juicier. Software grade A.Originally posted by raiders72001Comment -
The only decent BTC book is Nitrogensports. However, the limits are pretty poor.
When the overnight limits are 1 BTC max which is around $400 wager at the moment, theres really no point. Gameday its usually 3 BTC max so its around $1200 max which is still pretty low for a book. But obviously they can't take higher limits because if they do, they going to have a much higher risk so what their doing from their risk management is pretty good.Comment -
Reduced juice btc shops will always be on the lower end on limits. The combo of anonymous bettor, fast withdrawals, and reduced juice makes exposure heavy. Not to mention the fluctuations of the coin would make it hard to lay off heavy action safely.Comment -
Raiders seems have a good grasp on bitcoin books and he seems has done the research
SBR team also is getting into bit coin and doing research on the books for you boysComment -
So...you guys are saying that $1200 is the max on gameday lines on Nitrogen? That seems a bit too light. That would justify a B rating in my eyes.Comment -
I think it is 10 BTC game day before the game starts NFL and NCAA. It seems their risk management started off much lower but they keep increasing limits.Originally posted by Majman
edit- I just looked at their SD/Den line. Right now it's 3 BTC. I'll report back later to see if this one increases. I think it will go up to 10 BTC.
They list limits right next to the line.Comment -
It's now at 5 BTC.Comment -
Now it's at 10 BTC.Comment -
why the heck does it have to be in bitcoin??
Its confusing
Do bitcoin books have options to display limits in US Dollars?Comment -
I asked Nitrogen if amounts could be displayed in USD and was told no but was referred to a conversion table website. A small inconvenience for an otherwise efficient BTC book. The few times I've contacted them, they were prompt with their responses.Comment -
If you mean convert it like Heritage and 5Dimes do so your balance doesn't fluctuate, I think these Bitcoin books have an interest in generating volume of bitcoin transactions and it might be against their core interests to be converting bitcoin in and out of US$ constantly for players.Originally posted by jjgold.Comment -
If you google "bitcoin price" google displays an easy conversion app before any links.Comment -
Heritage is now more btc friendly best option if available.Comment -
any book take bets on the EL SALVADOR SOCCER LEAGUE PRIMERA DIVISION ? JetWin doesnt have it. Big money to make in this league BIG FIXES !!!!Comment -
As for soccer, if Jetwin doesn’t have any game, it means that 99% BTC sportsbooks don’t have it too. I’ve checked – they offer 5 matches for this league.Originally posted by lilbpack1Comment -
The bitcoin books go do deep into markets and sports offered I will say that
Did not even know they had El Salvador soccer leaguesComment -
Bit of a red flag really, if they offer leagues most traditional books find too hot.Originally posted by jjgold.Comment -
Many of the bitcoin books are from Europe or have a European looking website. Those books cover almost every soccer league out there. The betting limits differ depending upon the league.Originally posted by OptionalComment -
bet365 has the ES league ... but when Ive checked I only see ml/draw bets no totals etc.. Just look at this ! LOLOL . Trust me big money to be made my poor countrymen are match fixers..
