Can you explain why sometimes it takes forever to say you received the bet?  It's very frustrating with live betting.  Blockchain recorded my bet at 6:25, but it still hasn't been confirmed or assigned odds 7 minutes later.  So much can change in 7 minutes and sometimes you are instant, some times you arent?

20 minutes this is ridiculous.  The match will be decided before the bet gets processed and there is no way for me to cancel out.  I just have to accept whatever you give me when you decide to accept the bet?  This is unnacceptable :-/

Apparently this transaction has a very small output and is none standard and therefore the transfer is delayed.

Your bet will be processed as soon as the transfer is received.

For time sensitive bets and for immediate bet confirmations please use the official Bitcoin Core client or its lighter version MultiBit. You will not encounter any delays and your bets will be transferred and confirmed instantly when using the official wallets.

Alternatively, you can deposit first and then place the bet with immediate confirmation, just like you can with deposit books. This will allow you to cancel your bet if the transfer is delayed and it is explained in more details here : https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/393147.msg7708830#msg7708830

Another thing to note here is that since your wallet is BlockChain.info, the time that you see in the link above is the time in which you initiated the transfer. However, this is not the time in which it was delivered, the transfer was broadcasted in a delay, you can confirm that by looking at a 3rd party block chain explorer :

Once again, for time sensitive bets please use the official Bitcoin Core wallet or deposit first.

I'm referring to the Bitcoin Core client which you can download from here :

This is different than blockchain.info wallet.

Note that blockchain.info is a centralized shared web wallet and as such it might also send your transfer in a few minutes delay, as it just happened to PharaohUB and you might recall it also happened to Peeps Place in the past, although such delays are rare.

For time sensitive bets and for immediate bet confirmations please use the official Bitcoin Core client or its lighter version MultiBit. You will not encounter any delays and your bets will be transferred and confirmed instantly when using the official wallets.

Alternatively, you can deposit first and then place the bet with immediate confirmation, just like you can with deposit books. This will allow you to cancel your bet if the transfer is delayed and you are no longer interested in it, as explained in more details here : https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/393147.msg7708830#msg7708830

Yes, when you bet in-play and may not necessarily want the bet if it can not confirm instantly.


It's not a typical "My Account -> Deposit" per se but rather a way to place the bet in two steps. First deposit and then get it confirmed instantly. This allows you to cancel the bet if the deposit was delayed for any reason.

No problem at all here. Maybe OP fixed the problem very quickly after discovering it.
