how do you rate the websites? how do you get from a rating of B to C to A?

do those websites have to hold the funds in escrow to be top rated like here

Quote

No registration, identification or account is required. You do not have to open an account on XBet.IO to place a bet. Your money is kept wherever you decide. Moreover, since the funds are held in escrow by the network and not by a specific person or group, your funds can't be stolen or seized by anyone. We recommend using Counterwallet, which is free, open source and is fully compatible with XBet.IO

what is their rating?

XBet.IO is not rated because they are new. None of the bitcoin books hold verified funds escrow. Be careful of sites that claim to hold funds in escrow without solid proof. The ratings are based on user input with payment history being highly weighted. You will not have problems with "A" and "B" rated books. They have been in business longer than a year with a spotless payout history.

you want proof?

just watch the one minute video.

the funds are stored in your own wallet!

And in fact, anybody running bitcoind and counterpartyd (both open source) on their own PC can place bets using the Counterparty protocol using the XBet.io feeds. The web interface for the Counterparty wallet (aka Counterwallet) is open-source as well, and it can be placed on any computer and work just like it does at counterwallet.co.

The Counterparty developers have focused on a web interface first. It is open-source as well. https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet

Everything discoverable on the XBet.io website is also discoverable using a user-compiled counterparty installation.

the web wallet is open source and is not hosted by xbet.io.

i suggest you caeck them out and see for yourself how good of a service xbet.io are doing to bitcoin gambling

Escrow is money held by a third party.
