Rating Change: Nitrobetting Downgraded to B-

[nasios]

Has anyone from BMR reached out to them lately since they went back to their odds provider? Clearly they dropped the BetOnline clone lines and went back to the old provider with more juice. Are they now a KYC shop like the rest? I have heard a few payouts going through, but after a 60 day wait, hard to start thinking they are improving payouts.

I do like the old odds provider. Plenty of good opportunities, but if they are going to go case by case and say "this player is playing sharp bets, stall or don't pay them", what is the point of playing there?

I don't see anywhere in their site advertising the players anonymity, do you?
They may decided to go back to their old provider with KYC activated.

I don't. The only thing I saw was the "reserve the right to request KYC docs" type verbiage. So they are implying some anonymity but I am guessing winning accounts will not be anonymous.

Anonymous is a nice concept but I am guessing hard to enforce. Too many sharp IT people out there to not think of a way around whatever detection they were using.

Yeah the sign up page doesn't require personal details which shows the anonymous-oriented approach.

They may want to hinder to some extent the easy multi-accounting derived from anonymity. They could protect themselves though by moving the lines and sharpen their product.

Anyhow, if they manage to eliminate multi-accounting with KYC, I wish they welcome winners and allow higher stakes as they themselves declare:

"Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or new to the game, our sportsbook offers multiple advantages"

They need a sharp bookmaker running their joint if it isn't too late. I did well there until I pulled most of my balance maybe 1.5 years ago after getting freerolled a couple times (they did that to multiple players). I left a small balance but I couldn't really play there as I wondered if any line that I found that was +EV and better than market was going to be another voided wager after the fact. Then they went to reviewing every bet (literally every bet went to trader and they started moving lines based on that...I find something better than market, trader comes back with an offer 10-15 cents worse than the bet they offered....really shady).

Their old platform has some good value but between payouts and that thought of a freeroll in the back of my mind...just can't do it unless there is some better news coming from players. Between sharps multi accounting them (and it isn't just them but they probably made it easier...no idea how they would stop it but I am sure they had something to try) and Joe Public killing them in the NFL to end last season, had to eat seriously into their reserves.
