    Never again dealing with Bitcoins!

    A Book's dream. Leaving the trickery and scary dangerous methods for their customer to goof and lose their money.
    Too much controversy and trickery, while having unknowns tamper with you personal funds. I pass from now on.
    I have Coins lost now for over 3 full months.
    Please, do not recommend Bitcoins for any member of SBR.

    I am disgusted with this payout service and do not even want to discuss it further.
    Thank you, but no thanks.

    Putting politics aside and your sarcasm, I am a sports bettor. I have worked with a few sports books in CR over the last 13 years. I know inner operations of those books. Certainly I am more than qualified to express an opinion on certain books and deposit methods.

    Bitcoin. It's easy, quick and saves you time and money. If you aren't using it, you are still driving to Blockbuster Video to watch movies.

    Bitcoin is quick and easy, but I know what you mean. There horrible you can’t hold them. Coinbase is like the only place that you can purchase them from with a card limited To how much but still takes 2 weeks to receive.

    Books probably love it because you can’t file a charge back that will result in the book losing money and it’s untraceable to an extent I believe. Yet easy for you to lose money quick if you don’t know fully what you are doing or type in an address wrong.

    What “controversy and trickery”? If you goof, that is your deal. The books aren’t setting you up to fail with Bitcoin.

    And “unknowns tampering with your funds”? What the heck is going on here?

    No, I just know if you don’t know what you doing some platforms are easy to lose the money. I never had a problem with bitcoin just never hold it and not even able to buy them anymore even if I wanted to with al the banks blocking the purchase of them.

    I agree. Many books won't take W U anymore and if they do, the limits are low and you are limited as to how frequent you can send them. Neteller was awesome. So was Fire Pay. Paypal etc.

    He's right. By the time you get it from the wallet to the sportsbook you are losing money, and vice versa. Good old fashioned credit card and instant debit. No f'ing around.

    Sometimes I gain money. It's random luck.

    Yep. I tried to give Bookmaker another chance... F'ed me out of $4.00

    No other book does this. 5D is fair... Heritage is fair.

    BM doesn't do honest business. Sure... they'll blame it on some accounting BS. But I have an idea... if it's an accounting issue... or whatever... send +$4.00 more... I'm sure they can afford it.

    Stop screwing people over on PO's!!!

    (It's like a hidden PO FEE)

    When getting bitcoin or other alt payouts I have honestly never had to wait more than 3 hours. I don't mind paying a few dollars, but it shouldn't be called free if they are doing this intentionally.
