Fairlay Review
Do you want a change of pace? Then you might want to check out Fairlay.
Fairlay is a user-generated prediction market. This differs from a traditional bitcoin sportsbook in a couple of ways:
- All bets are created by users like you and me.
- There’s a larger variety of themes. You can bet on politics, current events, bitcoin prices, social media, TV, and more.
- The odds fluctuate based on how people vote (like parimutuel betting). Sportsbooks typically use a fixed betting format.
If you read our BetMoose review – Fairlay is just like them, only with fewer predictions to bet on.
They founded the company in 2013, and opened their site for Beta in mid-February. Since then they have acquired 1,000 users, tracked more than 8,000 bets and have had more than 50 predictions to bet on.
It looks like they’re off to a great start.
But numbers can be misleading. So let’s take a look at their site in finer detail. We want to determine if it’s going to be worth it for you to check them (especially compared to BetMoose).
Do They Have Any Promotions?
Kind of.
When I signed up they sent out a confirmation email. You need to click the link in the email to confirm your account.
In that email they told me I could receive 1 mBTC free.
SWEET!
But when I confirmed my account they told me I needed to deposit 1 mBTC before they’ll give me the free coin. This is because they’ve had to deal with people abusing the offer.
Understandable – and it’s better than nothing.
Other than that they don’t offer anything. I asked about it through email, and they told me they don’t offer other promotions so they could keep their predictions/bets as cheap and fair as possible.
