Sorry to hear about your issues
But I will express my dealings with BetBTC (as I'm happy with them and continue to bet with them)
I mainly bet on Football (Soccer) and Golf
I'm not a big punter, max bet for me is usually 3mBTC, min 1mBTC.
For Football and Golf - I've found BetBTC's odds to be very competitive
I place acca's (Parlay's) on football matches - up to 6 teams, with no issues and am impressed by how low down the leagues they offer
I've bet on numerous
live football matches in running (goal totals and or winner) with no issues
Sadly I cannot place a BTTS acca - acca's OK for over 2.5 goals acca'sI place acca's (Parlay's) on individual 18 hole golf matches - Normally doubles x2 and trebles x3, with no issues
I love that a tie is a refund not a loss and the acca is still alive
Sadly no E/W or T5 / T10 or T20 markets and the winner market is a match bet v the fieldI've had no issues depositing / withdrawing or being paid out for winners in a timely fashion
(and the Wizard competitions they were running - paid out fully for every winner I had)
I like the simple yet responsive web site and it looks ok on smartphone too
Login secured by google authenticator is a +
I probably use BetBTC 7/8 times per week and currently will continue to do so
Hopefully they will resolve your issues?
sounds like you've had a decent experience, but you don't play live - which is where my main complaint lies.
The company has taken a hard stance that they cannot be responsible for technical issues, and have continued to blame their odds "provider". I put "provider" in quotes because they are not paying anyone to supply/manage their odds. Rather, they just use an API to scrape Pinnacle's offerings. Lots of books do this, so BetBTC is clearly not alone. However, the key issue is that BetBTC continues to place blame on Pinnacle instead of accepting responsibility.
This book is likely run by one or two guys who are happy to keep raking in small profits each month. But their profits are almost guaranteed because they are SO risk averse (they have to be since they don't have an odds/stage manager), and have a huge edge when it comes to live betting. Again, once you click submit on a live bet, they have 30 seconds to decide whether to accept it. In many cases, they take 15-30 seconds to do this. During that time, you can't cancel/retract your bet. But they aren't obligated to honor it, and they don't if something happens in your favor in the match. That's fraud. They also have no interest in improving their service.
I have found several other books in the meantime that are more worth your while. Fairlay has the best odds and instant payouts, but the interface takes a while to get used to. Nitrogen / Nitro Betting will let you do all of the same things that BetBTC does (accas, push = cancel instead of loss, golf/football lines, etc). THey don't pay instantly, but it's always within an hour. You also won't have to deal with little baby 1mbtc max bets on half of the offerings like BetBTC has.
