Here are all the complaints the last couple of days with DirectBet.

7/4 ts11111 fortunately had a screenshot

You are blatantly lying to justify not confirming my Fischer bet at 5.6.

You say it was never at 5.6, but I ordered it and it automatically populated the current odds of 5.6

Check my screenshot - I have never ordered a bet and typed in 5.6 as my desired odds.

7/4 This is my complaint. I understand DirectBet's point of view that the bet didn't enter the blockchain until 7 minutes after I sent it. That still is a problem since it can be hours instead of 7 minutes

....... I placed an order at 17:45. I received a bitcoin address and sent the money at 17:45. DirectBet acknowledged that I sent it at 17:45.  Now he is saying that he didn't know. He accepted it 7 minutes later. There is no reason for us to wait 7 minutes before knowing if DirectBet is going to accept the bet.

7/4 ts11111 in response to DirectBet. ts11111 may have not been right but it's the posted lies by DirectBet that are worrisome.

LIES!!!!

Per your  email from last night:

"The odds never reached 5.6. 4.6 was the highest until you canceled the bet.
It's possible that you didn't refresh the page and saw outdated odds."

7/4

I may be your biggest player but I'm not letting you hold my BTC7 for half an hour until you decide bet. My BTC now goes to books with instant confirmations.

When will I receive payout? http://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=1G9pY4KPPJtqM2FYjBnW5t3kFmRJpL7KjU

I used to receive a payout in 10 minutes after the contest ended. It is 2.5 hours now.

Edit: payout received.

7/5 ts11111 and then reply by RyanK

yeah same... wtf?

DirectBet today. Their wallet was clogged so confirmations took 3 minutes.

According to our records it took 3 minutes from the time that you ordered the bet on our website to the time it was confirmed.

Apparently part of the delay was because our Bitcoin wallet was clogged as at that particular moment we received an unusual number of bets on this game simultaneously.

I'm sorry for the short delay, we are working to improve this.

If you had accounts and ways to deposit to the account (they could be optional and you could keep the current system as a secondary one) then people wouldn't face this problem anymore and nobody would need to complain about the change of odds during the time it takes for the transaction to register and the system to confirm the bet.
