As some of you may know, directbet closed Undecided

Are there no other sportsbooks that offer the service (bet with no account) that they offer? I do have an account on nitro + cloud, but I just enjoyed how easy Directbet was to bet on.

What the...

That was completely unexpected from me because I thought that they charged pretty much the highest spreads in the industry, and offered basically the shittiest odds across all the crypto betting platforms and I really thought that they would have had a very good income source and would have wanted to continue the business running for ages before finally closing down.

Does anyone know the actual reason for the closedown? is it because a lack of revenue, trouble with licensing, money laundering accusations etc. or just are the admins bored running the site? I'd like to know the real story behind this...

likely the license, they don't state they have a license in their site, also they use cloudflare.
