I have to say as my first day trying out new books, cloudbet and anonibet are insanely slow to grade my wagers. It's been hours and both books have my bets pending. I checked the FAQ section and both state within minutes except on exotic crap.

If I ever bet early games and wanted to bet west coast stuff I'd be shit out of luck at this rate.


"How long does it take for the bets to be settled?
We settle all the bets and pay, as soon as we can confirm the outcomes of the events. This usually takes a few minutes for most events. But sometimes in exotic sports or leagues the time to confirm the results might take longer. Anonibet aims to settle all the bets as soon as possible."

Hi BitcoinzRulez,

Thanks for your feedback.

All of our bet grading is automated. That said, we can only settle bets once we receive reliable data from an official source (or syndicated from an official source) - we can't simply scrape data from a sports scores website or off ESPN.

Given this, some data is made available much sooner - NBA, for example, grades within minutes - whereas others are a little slower (eg MLB). Live bets also typically take longer to grade, for the same reason - we need to wait for reliable data from a third-party source.

We are always looking to increase the quality and speed of our data so in time grading speed will continue to increase.

Cheers,
Cloudbet
