Title: Question to all gambling site operators.
Post by: CryptoPanda on March 17, 2014, 03:49:40 PM
Do you experience significant slowdown lately? Especially after the MtGox fiasco?
I hear complains from all the colleagues in the industry that I keep in touch with and wanted to get a broader reach to see if we have general problem or it's limited. :)
Please share your thoughts.

Hi CryptoPanda, thanks for the interesting question :)

I also found some sites to have lower high roller frequency in recent days. But I'm not sure whether it is only coincidence (smaller site should expect more up and down) or there's some reason behind. For example, because there's no huge news in Bitcoin world lately.

I think this question is also open to players :)

Yes, indeed.
Does someone else want to share his thoughts? :)

Hasn't really had any negative effect on activity, in fact I think we've had more volume since. What did have an effect was the blockchain.info downtime today, definitely less deposits as a result.

Same with Stunna.

We hit several all-time high even after the MtGox issue. Deposit slowed down a bit today due to the downtime from Blockchain.info .

That's pretty impressive. A lot of money disappeared from the Bitcoin consumer economy, so that must mean things are growing pretty fast.

Hello CryptoPanda,

We as Anonibet have not seen any negative impact of MtGox collapse on our figures.

The number of new depositing customers per day is in fact increasing. As a natural result our turnover is up also.

As you might know Anonibet.com was launched in 2011, we were the second after Btcsportsbet (they closed down recently and launched an exchange) to launch a purely Bitcoin sportsbook. We have a bit longer "history" than the newly born (launched in the last 6 months) bookmakers, so we have seen some other ups and downs in the Bitcoin economy. So far the only fact I can underline is when the BTC price has reached 266 USD in April 2013 and 1260 USD in the last months of 2013, we had 4 times more withdraw requests than usually. This was the only change we have seen in our figures.

If you would like our comment regarding Mtgox collapse's impact overall, we can say that Bitcoin is here and it will continue to exist. Mtgox was one of the 3 biggest exchange in the Bitcoin economy. Imagine one of the first 3 biggest world wide bank collapsing, it would be mayhem.

I hope I could some how answer your question.

Regards,
Michael Hoshford
