Bitcoin bookies banning USA players

rolltide · Jan 10, 2018

Two of my main bookies just dropped Americans and forced me to withdraw balance

Last week it was betcoin and this week cloudbet

Cloudbet is one of my 2 main outlets...the other being 5dimes. Betcoin was nice to have for alternate lines but not a particularly strong bookie.

both paid within minutes, not hours or days like others, but does anyone know what's going on out there for betcoin bookies to ban folks with IP's from USA all of a sudden?

I haven't paid much attention to this kind of stuff since 10 or so years ago. Isn't the reason some of these offshore books don't take US players is because in the past US citizens who owned these books came back to the US and got arrested? Is this a similar circumstance, maybe? I'm not the most knowledgable on the industry of running books but I remember when that was a big deal and then later on more books stopped taking US players

dunno, just hoping to get an explanation on why two of the main bitcoin-specific bookies banned USA players to start 2018. Losing cloudbet is a crusher for me

i seen that earlier today... theres some pissed off people that had futures bets tied up, they dont know what to do now. people cant even access the site disguised with a vpn because they created there accounts with there USA ip.. Wonder if Nitrogen is going to go the same route .. I Might just make a 2nd nitrogen account using a vpn to begin with just to cover my ass. The bitcoin books are so convenient, i hate to lose em

yeah i got a futures at cloudbet for Cruz Azul to win Liga MX but you can't log in anymore ... u log in and it takes you to the withdrawal place and not able to access anything else.
good idea on the vpn to open account. maybe i can do that with cloudbet.

anyone have a vpn service they use/trust?

maybe once the futures bet grades they will allow you access to the withdraw page
