DirectBet Overview

DirectBet offers an innovative Bitcoin sportsbook that lets punters play with no account to setup. DirectBet operates in two main areas of Sports Betting and Casino games with the ability to bet in live Sports Betting. Although we initially think of DirectBet as just a sportsbook, their Casino offers a huge deposit bonus where any deposit will be tripled up to 10 Bitcoins! 

The customer service is good, boasting a positive bitcoin talk forum thread with a responsive admin. The Sports Betting lines seem are good and you can expect to get great odds. However, the breadth of games and lines that you can bet on is not as big as some of it’s competitors.

A brief summary of Sporting events that you can bet on at DirectBet include:

    • American Football
    • Baseball
    • Basketball
    • Cricket
    • Cycling
    • Golf
    • Horse Racing
    • Ice Hockey
    • MMA
    • Motor Sports
    • Ruby Union
    • Rugby League
    • Soccer
    • Tennis

Sportsbook Bonus

DirectBet Banner

DirectBet currently offers a simple rewards system for the sportsbook which is the equivalent of a bonus. Essentially for every 0.001 Bitcoin you bet with you are given a loyalty point, meaning 1 Bitcoin wagered will give you 1000 loyalty points.

For a regular better this bonus is very good, but for the occasional sports better it is not very useful. It would require 500 Bitcoins to be wagered before you would have enough loyalty points for 0.5 Bitcoins.

Basic Betting Overview

Like we stated in the introduction, DirectBet is an innovative sportsbook largely due to the way bets are placed. To place a bet you will need to:

  • Navigate the site finding the event and specific line you want to bet on.
  • Select the crypto-currency you want to wager with (Bitcoin is default).
  • Check the wager size you want to bet with is under the maximum bet allowed for your line (as of this review most lines seem to be over 1 Bitcoin).
  • Select the Bitcoin wallet address you want your winning sent to.
  • Then click ‘place single bet’ if that is what you are looking for.
  • Finally you will be taken to a screen to deposit Bitcoins into your wager.

Summary

DirectBet is a great new Sportsbook on the market and also offers a nice Casino. The innovative wagering method is great for players who do not want to deal with setting up an account and running the risk of leaving your Bitcoins at the site. However, the innovative wagering method can make it slow to put live bets on in fast moving games, and the limited lines across some sporting events might not be for everyone.

For the seasoned punter the loyalty program might be a great way to keep you entertained at the site, and the odds, and customer service will also leave you wanting to wager me!
