Always makes me LOL when people people get all worked over some volatility in BTC when depositing to or from a GAMBLING SITE. Your playing with some gambling money, not your life savings, or maybe it is :-). For christs sake, look at the chart and tell me what the odds of you making money or losing money or being about even are on the transfer.

I've been meaning to make another video to show this because it's the best withdrawal method now, but just haven't had time yet.

Log in to your account, and click "Add Funds":



Type in the dollar amount you want to load on the card:



This window will pop up with a QR code. If you have your bitcoin wallet on your phone you can just scan that and it will fill in the amount and address.

If you are sending from a wallet on your computer click on "Copy". Then send the exact amount of bitcoin displayed to the address displayed.

I admit, this whole BTC thing is still relatively new to me. I am learning as I go.

As usual, you have been a big help. I am sure I speak for the rest of community when I say a video would be awesome!

this was your issue. have to keep financial transactions these days to under 3k at a time

They respond to the emails saying they will pay me and are 'investigating' but I think the odds they pay me are nil. Doesn't take 4 months to sort something like this out.

And this is after having cashed a lot from them from when they were Bodog.

My very first cash out from Ignition to Blockchain to Bitpay ( card ).
Total time for a hundred dollar payout was 9 hours and 16 minutes ( even though I was told via email that it may take up to 72 hours). From my wallet to my bitpay card was pretty much instantaneous.

The whole transaction was super simple from start to finish. Just see End the Fed's guidance. This process is fantastic, easy, quick.

Oh and P.S., I managed to make a dollar on the whole transaction.

The bolded is false. I thought at first the transaction was immediate, but as of right now, it is listed as pending.

edit and update - Ha! this is funny, as soon as I wrote this, the money was in my bitpay card. So it was pending for maybe one hour. So from Ignition to cash for me to spend was about 10 hours and 15 minutes.

Yeah, if the network isn't busy or if it's a small amount they have credited it instantly.

But usually they wait for the transaction to get a confirmation before they credit the money to your card.

Either way you lock in the exchange rate so you'll end up getting the right amount of USD on the card even if it takes longer to clear.

As always, if you are in a hurry and want to make sure it confirms in the next block you should check the fee your wallet is using and make sure it's big enough.

For Blockchain.info that looks like this:

It's incredible, isn't it? I made a cash out from Ignition Friday night, and the funds were on my BitPay card by lunch time on Saturday. This is as good or even better than the old Neteller days!

Yeah, I just wish they would stop confirming my withdrawals at 2am. Forces me to wake up in the middle of the night to try and dodge BTC fluctuation. Lol

I recently ran my account from 150 to 600 and cashed out 450. Ignition had the money in my bitcoin wallet 6 hours later. Seems to basically take only ~ 50-60 hours to get the money to my bank account after a score. I guess things might get complicated if you're trying to pull off 50k or something?

Bitcoin people. What is the easiest way to spend bitcoin without having to go through Coinbase etc. I want to just be able to buy things directly with bitcoin. Only thing I know of that I can do that with is expedia.

Would be nice to be able to by groceries, flights, things on amazon, utilities and such with bitcoin.

purse.io
you can purchase from amazon at a discount.

Can I withdraw the stupid $280 (that I trippled up in 2 hands of all in zappit blackjack) in my bonus balance? What can i do with it? Do i need to play through it? I cant find any clear answer.

It says %1.8 out of $100. What should i play to unlock? Poker? Casino?

The app Gyft accepts bitcoin and they sell digital gift cards to hundreds of retailers... stores like Amazon, Target, CVS, Kmart, Best Buy, etc... a few airlines like American and Southwest... Hotels.com, Uber, Starbucks... and a bunch of restaurants. Too many to list but you get the idea.

The app is cool to have anyway because you can upload physical gift cards too. Then just open the app and have the cashier scan your phone instead.

I try to use that first if possible because it's a quick way of spending bitcoin, it keeps less money from having to go through an exchange, and I like supporting them because they were an early bitcoin adopter.

Another site that accepts bitcoin directly is Overstock, so I check there when looking for something online to see if they have it.

abcgiftcards.com sells gift cards at a discount and accepts bitcoin. They even add 2% discount for using bitcoin. I drink a lot of beer and save a bunch by buying CVS cards and getting my beer there.

This has probably already been addressed but does anybody know how to deal with Coinbase due diligence questions:

1) What do you use Coinbase for?
2) What is your source of funds?
3) Current Occupation (job title / employer)

I made a mid-4 figure withdrawal from Blockchain. Then transferred to Coinbase then to GDAX, converting bitcoin to US $ at market rate, and tried to withdrawal. Got an error, saying money was sent to my Coinbase account with a note to do a "manual withdrawal" from Coinbase instead. Perhaps this amount was too big? Am I supposed to keep these transactions under 3k or something smaller?

I thought this was a glitch so I attempted to transfer US $ from Coinbase to GDAX again a couple times (which I realized afterward that I didn't need to do that to bypass the higher withdrawal fees, and I could have just withdrawn directly from Coinbase since they were already in US $ at that point).

I was able to withdraw about $3.5k from Coinbase to my personal bank, however because I transferred from Coinbase to GDAX so many times, is it possible I might have triggered some alarms, and I'm not able to withdraw anymore now? Should I just wait a while for the system to reset after a week?

Thanks in advance for reading this long post! Any help is greatly appreciated!

God SO F*******ING done with these offshore BS sites. Moved to NV and they shut my account down pending an ADDRESS VERIFICATION. WTF!!!!! Then the guy told me they might lock my funds for breaking their terms of service. This was after I FT'd a tourney and requested a withdrawal!!!!!!!!!

Yes, have to play through it... So either you lose it all, or run it up and while you clear it. Just realize it shows the "Bonus" PLUS whatever $ you put in there for the bonus (if that's the case) Does that make sense? You have to play with all the $ in your account PLUS what's in your bonus account you are trying to clear. And I think you can only play casino. GL.

To be honest you are going to have a much harder time trying to find things to buy doing it just with that... by far the easiest is to pay $10 for a Bitpay card, and within half a day the $ will be on your card that you can cash out or use ANYWHERE just like a debit card. Way worth it!

@EndTheFed That looks like an excellent way to download $usd

Withdrew to my blockchain which took like 5 days to process, then transfered to coinbase and it still says pending 24 hours later, is this unusual ?

Transferred from blockchain to Coinbase. Its been over 24 hours and it still says pending and funds are not available. It usually says pending for an hour or so and then the funds are available. Has anyone else had this happen in coinbase before?

its just backed up due to volume of transactions, I'm also waiting for confirmation

Same. My last four withdrawals below... been crushing lately, lots of withdrawals!!!

Check:
Withdrew $1k from Ignition by check --> Received by signed FEDEX 12 biz days later --> Still showing as pending deposit after 4 biz days at bank... has not cleared, yet. If you don't want to pay the 1.5% coinbase fee this is the best method. You won't see the funds for 3 weeks minimum, though.

Test Bitcoin:
Withdrew $100 from Ignition --> Multibit Wallet (took 4 hours) --> Coinbase (took ~24 hours pending) --> Deposit to small Regional Bank (took 3 biz days).

2nd Bitcoin:
Withdrew $1k from Ignition --> Multibit Wallet (took 6 hours) --> Coinbase (took ~20 hours pending) --> Deposit to small Regional Bank (took 3 days).

Current Bitcoin:
Withdrew $6200 from Ignition --> Multibit Wallet (took 1 hour!) --> Coinbase (currently pending 16 hours) --> will deposit again directly to bank.
