SealswithClubs

I have taken some heat from Bitcoin enthusiasts for my grading of SealswithClubs in previous reports.

My issue is not with the site at all. I simply feel that players should understand that there is a risk in the price fluctuations of Bitcoin.

For example, prices are down around $100 since our last report, however it has bounced back from six-month lows in the past few days. Players should understand that playing at a Bitcoin site involves an additional level of currency exchange risk.

SealswithClubs processes withdrawals in about 12 hours.

There has been little movement in the backlog of withdrawal requests. According to reports, over 80 players have been waiting over one year for a withdrawal.
