Yeah this is why I don't leave too much money / bitcoin in my casino accounts, you just never know. Duelbits the company we have a campaign for (wheelz, talking to you on this one) seem to be very legit, run ads at pro soccer stadiums over in Europe etc (I know I know, so did FTX smh) so companies like that seem to be a much safter bet and ones that should be used. I use Bovada mainly (duelbits doesn't allow for US citizens) and they actually won't let you use the same btc address more than once to cash out, so just the opposite of "we don't recognize this address" which is total nonsense.
Sponsoring sports or professional teams is not a good way to measure whether a sportsbook is legit or scam. I don't know if 1xBet is still sponsoring any soccer clubs, but not long ago they sponsored one of the big Spanish teams. Now they're considered one of the bigger scammers in the industry, and also have been linked to 1xBit, which has many well documented scam accusations.
The best course of action is never keep any bitcoin in any custodial wallet, sportsbook, casino, or even legit exchanges like Binance or CoinBase.
I watched a little XFL this weekend. Mostly highlights. I saw Josh Gordan is playing for a team and had a nice TD. I'll prob try and get in to it a little more.
I had a XFL game on yesterday while I was cleaning the kitchen, and it was pretty entertaining. It's obvious the players are "average" in NFL terms, but hell it's football in late February. Beggars can't be choosers.
I might sit down and watch a game this coming weekend, just to get my head wrapped around the different rules.
