Bitcoin Forum

What are the some of online games where we can challenge others, play online for BTC. I'm specifically looking for games like Chess, 8 Ball Pool, Carrom or some other games. Would be happy to see 8 Ball Pool or Chess game. I can't take the lockdown anymore. I need something to spend my times.

I'd be surprised if you found the games you mentioned because they would quickly be filled with bots and you'd surely lose any challenge. There are however a number of BTC accepting poker sites.

Well for 8 pool ball there is before and don't know if they want to open it again. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=962358.0
Perhaps you can view all of these links if you like to have research on P2P online games because it has been discussed here before.

What about playing poker? SWC offers a really good opportunity in my opinion. They are also represented in this forum. :)

Many gambling platforms also offer options in this area. Many topics have been created in the forum about such websites. I think you can give more specific information about what kind of game you are looking for.

If you're interested in Poker sportsbet announced (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458034.msg54208626#msg54208626) they'll have a free one in the next few days.

Other than Poker here's another answer i've posted from one of the threads linked by Ryker1. There's not much p2p games to choose from since they are usually less popular

Chess games was discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238185.0 you may have read and following thread to find good one.

For 8 ball has been around a long time ago : https://www.miniclip.com/games/8-ball-pool-multiplayer/en/ and you need to invite player first to begin.

I have heard of 8ball for gambling to be honest I have a friend who is always buying loads to play to play it I am not sure if he is betting on it or what.
But when it comes to P2P chess,cards and other board games would always be on the list I also like to see some advance games like FPS games.
I wish we could see some platform that have a good P2P FPS games or other trendy games right now.

Poker seems to be the only P2P available game that the majority knows. What if somebody starts to make a mini-tournament or becomes a middleman just to make these games happen? for the mentioned games. I think by just setting up and managing it, these games are possible without any intervention by a casino but through individuals management.
What do you think about that?

I think Texas Holdem poker is the best game to pass this lockdown time.It offers quite some fun in normal conditions so I think now this can be enjoyed more as you can play against many people at the same time.I personally enjoy this game the most as this is the game where skills are a determining factor compared to luck.

I saw someone posted 8 ball pool bet with BTC, I'm not sure who was it but it's worth a try to look for it maybe they still goo to go. but let me tell you one thing, this kind of game can be cheated because if someone has some programmer knowledge can easily make some script from cheat engine to make their game smooth and that will make you in a disadvantaged position because you are playing manually.

That's what I fear also because I heard bad comments regarding this kind of games.
I'd rather play games like dice since I know it cannot be rig and I'm pretty aware of the house edge, well, sports betting is my favorite but due to lock down, have to stop now.

That's true, these days cloning of websites were very common and people easily join it without proper research or security protocols of the website. Rather than getting into such traps it is always good Night to go with the dice and other sports betting on the popular websites that are serving with legitimacy for years. For sports betting gamblers it is good to have a break or go with dice or other casino games than falling into traps.

he didnt mention cloning of site above  but you are still right  . there are some sites that are fake but this can be easily detected if your already familiar on the original one .  usually these copy cats only copy popular and big sites because people played them the most  .  dice is a good game but dice can be possibly manipulated too if ever your playing on a site that is not trust worthy   . legit sites always shows verification which you can verify your bets to ensure that it isnt manipulated   . p2p gambling also existed but havent see 8 ball pool on them   .

Does miniclip offers Bitcoin as a form of bet to play pool?
I'm sorry can't open a link for now (I'm on field and the internet connection is so poor), but Im just too curious because I have been playing a lot of games in miniclip website including billiards and that was like 7-10 years ago. I was wondering if they added cryptocurrency related games on their website.
Playing pool is sometimes very frustrating anyway lol.

I already searched for information regarding this recently op and found small platforms with just a couple of real users and the rest were bots.

Based on my knowledge, they don't provide crypto payment methods just like other popular platforms. I have played 8 ball pool a lot there and never saw any support for BTC or any other popular crypto.

Why not try this one? Visit up this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236603.0

No it doesnt! Its just been mainly suggested without even knowing that miniclip doesnt really have that crypto integration.

I have seen only sports betting are being played on this crypto space in P2P manner but that is also not possible in these isolation days to kill your boredom. P2P games are very rare in crypto gambling houses as they might need more time to conclude a final winner whereas crypto gamblers are known for playing instantly result providing games like dice, slots and many other similar luck based games.

If possible play chess in video calling with your friend. This must be more interesting if you people agree to move on with few pre-defined terms. I agree lots of set up are required for that to make playing in video call possible still it would be worth a try ;).

I'm aware of the bot you are talking about, hence, I talked about challenging someone. It seems we still don't have such option. Thank you guys a lot for the help. I'll try to check the recommendations.

Have been playing it for a while but I'm not more interested into poker. It's kinda bore when you don't get the cards you are looking for. While chess or 8 ball pool totally depends on your skill. In addition, I don't want to lose money faster too  :D

I don't think any of such games are available in crypto gambling platforms. I would also love to add Clash Royal type of games for gambling but couldn't find any such platform yet. It is probably due to higher chance of cheating that is possible in such games and also high expense in maintaining such gaming servers.

Btw, try to learn wordpress in your free time. A new world of possibilities will open up in front of you!

Clash Royal? I never come across such gambling type.

But, I am sure about coding a versatile system where no one is able to cheat/hack is possible regardless of what type of games we are going to implement. I am just taking generally and not with respect to exact game like clash royal. Because, I believe into the power of prevention measurements where we can stop any exploit of system but obviously it might cost more compared to expected revenue once such games go live.

I believe that almost all the crypto gambling houses are looking for implementing new games nowadays. If they get know about such new games then definitely they will start working on those new things.

But most of the P2P game by any project or casino kinda boring, also the game kinda oldest without good graphic.

With the successful tournament poker on "Bitcointalk" if everyone wants to play P2P game with bitcoin, why not making the tournament. Using the pools system, which game we can make the tournament like DOTA2, CSGO and other games that would be good.

Maybe if someone creating 1VS1 Dota 2 Tournament on bitcointalk, i probably in.

Yeah some of them are hella boring, but there are some that has a unique that you might never be get tired of. They should start adopting new games, somehow interactive with a good graphic and story line so players would not be easily gets tired or bored when playing.

Sounds a great idea, I think we have plenty of good players in here, who knows one of us is Sumail like in dota2 lol. If we are going to have poker tournament I'd probably play, or blackjack or chinese poker coz I'm good at playing these games. I wish we could find a way to play with each other using this forum, I'll be very glad if that happens.

I see, no one is trying to bring such games into the board for what? Only because of the chance of cheating? There must have been way to prevent the cheating. However, casino can arrange tournament for bitcointalk for these kinda games. I would gladly be in; at least in this lockdown.

Thank you but not motivated as long as it is directly forcing me.

I'm not a great coder, just have learned little for my needs. However, I guess this kinda games will have a significant responses if anyone comes with; I have checked some other threads as well on this topic within last couple of days and I was surprised with the responses. Then, why not someone bringing this into reality?
I don't have enough time to maintain such things long time, nor am I motivated to run a casino; otherwise, I would be giving it a try to bring something for this community.

Maybe you can play some 8 ball pool over the Facebook messenger as we do with my friends.
We put bet like 0.01 BTC for a best of 9 games or first to win 5. You should be playing with a bet with the person you know or you sure they will pay if you win.

That could be the success of our forum. You may not be the eye-opener but I believe some crypto gambling house owner also must be reading all these and this kind of idea might have sparked in their mind also. So, we can expect someone will be making such games into reality very so that they might be making this crypto community more entertained in coming days.

I believe our open discussions are happening for some reasons and not just for answering to OP alone. When someone will be getting some good idea and trying to implement that in their business, if they share like they are getting this idea from this place, then that would definitely encourage this community in more great levels.

I always wanted to join in 8 Ball Pool tournament if that would be happen.
I hope someone can arrange everything and make it possible. Interested about this thread and other recommendation as well.

Maybe you can be someone who held that tournament, rather than nothing xD.

Using an escrow for the prize pool would be good, for the first tournament we can use "Free Escrow Service from DireWolfM14" then let see the about the result. If the result good and a lot people give a positive impression about the tournament we can held another tournament about the fee escrow was taken from the prize pool.

I don't think I can host it, since I've had some busy days.

There still would be able to put like this things up in the near future. I'll just wait patiently and when the time comes. I'll show all the time I consumed playing this games in my good old days. :D

^ That is a good idea. I am sure there are some gamblers here in our community who will surely join that tournament like what on gambling section someone hosted poker. If there is a chance it is also good if there is a chess game.
P2p online games are very common as of now because there are gamblers who want to play via a real opponent, not just a bot from the system or beating the house edge. Nevertheless, based on skills games are always good.

looking forward on this, count me in!
i will definitely participate on this tournament and I hope there will be someone in the near future to arrange.

That's a good solution but I have no one to play with IRL, nor I want to reveal my identity here although mistakenly, I had done it long ago. I got an old thread where people were asking to play such bets through facebook; nevertheless, I'm looking for a gambling platform particularly which isn't available so far.
