You continue to post illogical stuff. I'm surprised you are in a signature campaign which supposedly has very good posters from bitcointalk.

oof

If you think he's spamming/posting low quality though, feel free to send me a PM or make a Reputation thread about it with some proof. (I'm sure digaran would love to hear about how I'm accepting spammers into my campaigns now)

I disagree though; I don't find his posts illogical.

If you really believe they aren't a scam, what's holding you back from messaging the DT members and proving them wrong? I can open a thread for you calling all the DT members who left them a feedback and you can come to the rescue.

I don't consider them a pure scam, just a (quite) shady sportsbook. They've made questionable decisions with KYC, holding funds and canceling bets, but nothing stands out as "scam".

Because they're likely making decent money, so it would be a waste to gain a moderately sized lump sum and kill off a large revenue stream. The person losing on the other side is the bettor, as they are accepting very poor odds. I don't see how bet matching is related, but someone trying to arb on sportsbet.io is either stupid or taking advantage of promotions.

Mind explaining all the accusations they have had in the past? I can link you to all of them should you insist.I failed to understand the co-relation between "making decent money" and messing players up over the KYC policies. Do you honestly think a sportsbook which operates illegally should have access to the confidential information of their players? I'm not even talking abut their parent companies which are known as fraudulent operators in the bitcoin casino scene. I'm assuming you know who they are.

I don't know and have no interest in finding out the whole story. My guess is that most of the people who made an accusation did something else (ex that 15 BTC guy apparently attempted/did double spend) resulting in their account being flagged. Sportsbet's support seems to be quite bad as well. If they really were this shady, wouldn't you expect many more accusations? Also, don't play there if you don't wish to go through KYC; it's stated in their Terms of Service that KYC may be required. No one is forcing you to use sportsbet.io, and there's a lot of much better sportsbooks (minus the promotions) out there such as BetKing and BitcoinRush.

and Or, if you meant sportsbet.io matching bets, they could easily match with other bettors on their platform if there's a lot of volume, or even use another book such as Pinnacle, Betfair or Fairlay to counter each bet, and still make a decent percentage. There's also sportsbook providers that pay you a % of each bet, regardless of the outcome, and they could be using one of them as well.

They could be and that's how the bookie chain works.

And how does that make them a scammer?

I do not endorse or recommend people to play at sportsbet.io, but I would saying calling them a scam is inaccurate. (so is calling them trustworthy)
