Possible problems with Bitbook

do you guys settle disputes?   I made a complaint  to SBR about a  bitcoin book and they gave me nothing but blank stares.

Jetwin opens at “D-“


Jetwin.com is one of the few bitcoin books that requires your name, address, date of birth and phone number upon registration. The best way to describe Jetwin is by quoting some of their rules:

“The Customer hereby accepts that the Company maintains the right to demand additional information and/or documentation from the Customer in order to verify the Customer as the account holder in the event of such a security check.”

“The Company reserves the right to void any or all bets made by, and/or withhold payments payable to, any person, group of persons or legal entities acting in concert or as a syndicate to defraud the Company, pending the outcome of a subsequent investigation by the proper authorities”

“The Company reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion without explanation given to the Customer to refuse any bet or part of any bet without explanation and/or suspend or close an account at anytime for any reason, “

“ If a Customer account is inactive for twelve consecutive (12) months or longer, the Company reserves the right to close the Customer's account with the Company and the Customer agrees to forfeit any outstanding balance and all claims against the Company”

Jetwin does not have a big forum presence, live chat or phone number. The best that can be said at this time is that there have not been any complaints on payouts.

How the books will be rated and weighted emphasis in order.

1. A heavy emphasis will be placed on speed of payments. Several books immediately pay out after the game has been graded. Those are the books with the least risk involved. Sweat the game, not the payout is not just a slogan. It should be a way of life for these bitcoin books. Bitcoin books have a much higher standard involved than post-up books because there are no fees involved and no need for a third party processor.

2. Grading time. Most postup books have automated grading; the winners and losers are determined minutes after the game is over. Bitcoin books that do this show that they have invested in their software. Books that rely on an individual to grade all games tend to have a high degree of risk.

3. Books not requiring personal information including an email address will be graded higher. Anonymity is a plus.

4. Date opened if less than 2 years. Bitcoin has just taken off in the past year, so it's unfair for one to compare a top bitcoin book with a post-up book like Pinnacle. But it is still important that a book shows itself to not be a flash in the pan. The longer a period of time a book has been open, the better its track record.

5. Limits. In general, the higher the limits, the deeper the bankroll of the sportsbook. If a bitcoin book takes high limits and pays out quickly, it shows its strength.

6. Sports and options offered. Uniqueness of lines and betting options is a positive.

7. Mobile betting. The ability to bet on the go can be important to some.

8. Live betting. The more, the better. Offering live betting isn't easy; the ones that do offer live betting lines tend to be stronger in general.

9. Customer service. The better the customer service, the more professional the book.

10. Interface. Ease of use is important.

11. Whether or not the book requires a deposit account. Depositing into a bitcoin book is a much bigger risk to the bettor, especially since these books have not built up a strong history that shows their staying ability.

I've had very positive experiences at both casinobitco.in and more recently coinbet.cc. 

Coinbet is very new but the service has been personal and prompt.  More importantly, they paid me 5 figures within their posted time frame.  Like any new book, there are growing pains, but they have been very responsive to my suggestions and encourage feedback. 

They're worth checking out IMO.

Casinobitco.in opens at "B+"

Casinobitco.in opened in June of 2013. Casinobitco.in is located in Panama with servers in Ireland and Hong Honk. One nice added feature is that Casinobitco.in is the only bitcoin sports book to have a provably fair casino. The only thing required to register is a username and password. Casinobitco.in seems to have the same lines as 5 Dimes on American sports at a price of -107. This includes the NCAA as well as totals.  Another feature is that they have is 1st and 2nd half wagering.
 
The only con is having a 2 BTC maximum bet. The maximum does fluctuate as risk management may lower limits on popularly bet games. The owner is very receptive to player feedback and has run free, as well as pay, NFL survivor pools along with Super Bowl squares.
 
Payouts are instant and there have not been any reports of no pays. On occasion an account may be flagged which could cause a delay of 4-6 hours. Deposits are instant and do not require any confirmations. Overall this is one of the best bitcoin books and is only some time away from being an “A” book.
 
Opened : 2013
Maximum bet: 2 BTC
Minimum bet : .001
Sports offered : Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, MMA, boxing and soccer.
