Now that Sportsbet accepts fiat currency, they will be delisted. This thread rates bitcoin only books.

If you are just now discovering that sportsbet accepts fiat, maybe you are not qualified to dictate sportsbook ratings as you think you are

Also,

Steve - thanks for the update. I'll throw in some plays and do more research shortly.

From a D- to totally delisted lol
Could you make it any more obvious that you are anti-sportsbet?

The progression in currencies used by sportsbet has been followed from 2016 to 2018 when they first started taking Euros. It's also known that Jetwin keeps balances in many fiat currencies.

Since Sportsbet started with cryptos and had a presence here prior to accepting fiat currencies, their rating was kept up in this thread. Cryptocurrencies are accounting for less and less of sportsbet's business. Because of that, I think it's best to just put them in the fiat class.

There has been plenty of poster input on sportsbet that had a great influence on their rating. Here are some other reasons for their final rating. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=717790.3020

"

1. Margins - The margins (odds) at Sportsbet are very high. It's almost impossible for a player to overcome that type of hold with vanilla lines.

2. Self exclusion - When a player asks for self-exclusion, Sportsbet steers the player towards taking a temporary ban.

3. Areezy - Under no circumstances should a book be able to cancel a futures play. Areezy has given me permission to look into his account. If there is something that is missing, please PM.

4. KYC/AML - There are rare cases where KYC may be required. Sportsbet is heavy handed on KYC and confiscated 21.5 BTC form a player of which 15 BTC was from his deposit.

5. Double spend claims - Sportsbet should wait for 1 confirmation if they are going to confiscate funds for an "accused" double spend attempt.

6. Communication - A PM was sent to all books asking if they banned players from the UK or US. Every book replied within a day except Sportsbet."

Ive already answered ^^this^^ in this very public forum and discussed this.. pretty disappointed this is brought up again.

We have moved on and listened to our customers. Our main currency it Bitcoin but when it reached 20,000USD the other December, customers were screaming out for other methods of payments.
Its what we do, customer comes first. (also note, there are more fiat currencies on the way as thats what the feedback from our customer dictates)

We won't tolerate liars and cheaters, so a few of those may have fallen into the above categories.

I asked everyone to come back and check, I hope some did. Others just don't seem to want too.. thats ok too.

regards,
Steve.
