directbet has been accept altcoins since long time ago and several times ago i saw some people change dogecoin or ETH instead of bitcoin because they have same problem such as you too and i think these coin is good options to use on directbet because the fees more lower than bitcoin and conformations of transactions also more fast than bitcoin
It is one of the best sports book that accepts bitcoin as well as other major coins like Litecoin,Dash,Doge and ETH and if you feel like the bitcoin transaction fees are hurting your deposit ,you could very well use alternative coins which have a lower transaction fees and since you are waging small amounts it is better to try alt coins.
I am not a regular player on sports betting.
This is my first time betting in sports through Directbet.
I will not bet big amounts, until I don't understand how it works, how to win, best odds etc etc.
For the bitcoin deposit, I found that the transaction fees are making my losses. Maybe the scenario will be different in bigger bets.
So for now I am thinking to get some doge and bet at Directbet. Hopefully it won't be a loss..
Another issue is, I didn't receive my winnings till now... More than 17 hours passed.
I checked my wallet for the deposits I made to play. Those are still pending confirmation. I don't know what is the problem to the bitcoin network.
I hope after deposits are confirmed then I will receive my winnings.
