Arbitrage betting not allowed
Betcoin.ag's own Terms could not be independently retrieved in full, so no verbatim arbitrage clause could be quoted. Real-world enforcement is documented, however: in an AskGamblers case, Betcoin blocked a roughly $900 balance and supplied evidence of prohibited arbitrage-betting, value-betting and alert-service conduct "under its sportsbook terms," and AskGamblers closed the complaint resolved on that basis — confirming a sportsbook-terms arbitrage restriction exists even though the exact wording isn't independently quotable here.
Operating since 2013

Overview
Betcoin.ag is one of the longest-running Bitcoin gambling brands, operating since roughly 2013 per Casino Guru, AskGamblers and a 2014 Pokerfuse trade article documenting its Bitcoin-only poker room. Governing-law and licensing claims are inconsistent across its own materials — its current Terms of Service state it is governed exclusively by the law of Anjouan (Union of Comoros), while AskGamblers separately lists a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence and LCB.org notes Costa Rica-governed terms; no licence number could be independently verified against a regulator's own register. Its own Terms of Service formally ban the entire United States, yet third-party geo-block listings name only Ohio — a discrepancy consistent with continued informal accessibility to US bettors. The complaint record is dominated by a recurring pattern of post-win account suspensions over discretionary fraud, collusion or sportsbook-arbitrage accusations; Casino Guru currently indexes 40 complaints (8 resolved, 32 rejected, none unresolved), and Betcoin has supplied AskGamblers with supporting evidence in several sportsbook-abuse cases that were subsequently marked resolved in the operator's favor. Large wins (25+ BTC) are reportedly paid out over ten monthly installments rather than as a lump sum, per LCB's own testing.

Bonuses, withdrawals & KYC
No fiat or card on-ramp — crypto-only deposits and withdrawals
No verification required to register or deposit
KYC is triggered at withdrawal, sometimes via a third-party vendor link with a short (as little as 180-minute) completion window before it expires
Multiple documented cases of post-win account suspensions over discretionary fraud, collusion or arbitrage accusations
Detailed background research on stated policy — broader than any single number in the score breakdown above, though it informs it. Where an operator's own terms couldn't be fetched, that's noted and the figures are flagged as third-party rather than operator-confirmed.
Bonus policy
Reported inconsistently — AskGamblers lists 100% up to $25; Casino Guru's live database currently shows no active bonus; larger affiliate-marketed offers (up to 3 BTC) were not independently confirmed.
Withdrawal timeframe
No verification required to register or deposit; KYC is triggered at withdrawal, sometimes via a third-party vendor link with a short (as little as 180-minute) completion window before it expires. Large wins (25+ BTC) are reportedly paid out over ten monthly installments rather than as a lump sum, per LCB's own testing.
KYC / verificationKYC conditional
"Conditional" means no KYC is required just to sign up and play. Verification is only requested in some cases — most commonly when withdrawing, or if suspicious activity is flagged.
No verification required to register or deposit; identity checks are reserved for withdrawal, and have in several documented cases been paired with discretionary fraud/collusion/arbitrage account suspensions.
