Bitcoin Forum

In online poker I have seen different poker sites get organized to form and combine their player pool to form one big poker network.  Maybe the top Bitcoin sports books, casinos and dice sites should get organized to form a network for player vs player games like different games of poker or other games like yatzy and maybe even Monopoly or something.  Anyway the point is to form a fun environment for Bitcoiners to play.  It might also attract and gain the interest of non Bitcoiners to BTC.

What do you guys think?  Is that something possible in the foreseeable future?  It might be a good business move too.

it could have been possible in the future, to be honest I prefer games where I can bet with other players rather than playing against a bot, at least mine is easier to read the game from other players when they make a bet with me

I think a lot of collision play would be happening if all the players were brought together on the same network because it's very easy to register anonymous accounts and cheat the system. Plus all the sharks will be together in the same player pool as well which is not a good sign either. My 2 cents.

To form a fun environment for Bitcoiners to play is a good idea. :)

1) But I doubt that the sportsbooks, casinos and dice sites have interest to form such a network, as they would make less money with those player vs player games.

2) Make a poll and see if the community has interest.

3) If so, someone could develop a startup and it is possible to offer such a service without existing sportsbooks, casinos and dice sites.

Sure, bad actors are expected and I'm sure there will be ideas on how to fight cheating and such.  But what I'm asking is if it would be generally a good idea to have something like it, and if we have enough gamblers in the Bitcoin scene to justify making something like it.
