Bitcoin Forum

Welcome to the forum first of all.
It's really nice to see more Poker sites that accept cryptos.
Moreover upon checking your site, i realised that i have seen the same design previously too.
Is this a new thread OP? If yes, then please delete the old thread as here only one thread per Gambling site.
Moreover the mobile version of the site needs to be optimised more.
Also some sort of Promotions can help you guys to gain potential Gamblers to your site.
Waiting for some positive response from you guys.

A poker, huh?

Welcome to the forum buddy!

Will there be any other games potentially?

Hi,

I was actually put onto this site a few weeks ago, but only played it for a few spins before my browser crashed via an unrelated issue concerning the Tor Browser.

Can you tell me when I send a payment request to withdraw via LN, do I make the amount how much I want to withdraw (e.g some of my amount on the page) or, if I want to withdraw the full amount, do I need to leave a few sats short to cover TX fees?

Also, is there a token, or some kind of link to resume a game if I have some sats left over and want to close my browser then go back to the site later (essentially leave funds on the site)??

I wonder if all the tables that are available in your website are all active as I saw that there are no players who are playing to all of the tables. Does it mean that you didn't have any players yet?

As most of the members suggested, it will be good if you can market first your platform so you can get some players like launching a proper  marketing. Lastly, a little improvement with your site will be better so you can easily convince the players to play using your platform.

Welcome to the forum.

I've checked the tables, out of all of those tables, most of them are empty and the one that I've seen have at least 1 person inside is only 1.

The design is very simple, you need to get everyone's attention through advertising. It is with LN which I like, hoping you get to have more players per table soon.

I saw the same thing with Roulette here before and now gambling without an account on poker is also a great thing. Welcome to the forum and I do hope that you came here for a real business. Will try this one later on if I see some good reviews about it, and maybe you can hire a good manager of this forum so you can have a good advertisement of this project.

Is this site related to lighting-roulette? Looking at the design of the website which looks similar, I feel that lightning-poker and lightning-roulette is owned by the same person. Surely this kind of business expansion is great but it would be better if they are related to each other then it should be informed on the opening post. Just like what is being done by stake and primedice, 777coin and bitvest, duckdice and tower.bet. Anyway welcome to the forum although I do not really familiar with lightning network.

I know you meant this site: https://lightning-roulette.com
ANN thread LIGHTNING-ROULETTE.COM⚡ NO ACCOUNTS | INSTANT WITHDRAWS | PROVABLY FAIR (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4911418.msg44234711#msg44234711)

If the Lightning-poker is owned by a same owner or same team, the ANN thread should have information about it. It helps visitors have more information about the team and past works. If they feel the lightning-roulette is a good site, they will more easily to try the lightning-poker.

I think they are the same owner as they have similarities like the domain name, the use of LN and the feature that you don't have to make an account to play the game. Maybe not yet designed as the account is still a newbie and haven't purchase yet a Copper Membership but I think it have been appropriate if they merge it instead on that thread above that you linked here if they really are from the same owner.

Too simple that it becomes boring to look at and play.

Lightning-Poker, the design needs to be improved first before spending on any form of advertisement. First time site visitors are most likely to leave with that green table and green floor. Make it look more professional.

Welcome to the forum, this is really interesting a new poker site. I visited so far I like your design on your website including the tables i'll be waiting for some players to play with looks like they don't have one yet.

Maybe giving them free coins to play with would attract players, not big just a few coins where player can test the website and play on your website.

In advertising, it is of course very much needed especially since this is a new platform that has just been launched in this forum, therefore we must be as attractive as possible for many who are interested in this poker game.

In the table I think it is quite simple as long as it doesn't load slowly the people who play will be happy if the team can do this without that long it is more and I think it needs to be improved again.

Usually in this promotion is just a signature that gets a lot of traffic.

I forgot to ask earlier if you have a lightning network node that people can open a channel to?  It might make it just a little bit easier if we already have funds ready in outbound capacity ready to send over to your site.

Promotions might be added soon.
We are trying to fill our poker tables atm!

Thanks!
Feel free to join our poker community at: https://t.me/LightningPoker

+1 it's better to have this so everyone can try it first  .

Is your website doesn't really have registered option? And you can only login using twitter account? what if the players doenst have Twitter account how they can play in your website if the only option is to login using twitter .

This website will be only for lightning poker.

Yes, we are related to the lighting-roulette project.
Same team behind :)

There are free poker tables where you can try it out.
https://lightning-poker.com

I tried it and it looks simple and clean. For me that's good. I like more being that simple then so much stuff going on like on pokerstars etc.

Will this lightning-poker game attract more players than their lightning-roulette? I know, you need only small amount of satoshis to play on their site but a lot of us here are not LN users yet. Maybe, time to learn how to use LN as you can play cheap.  ;) You can use your extra satoshis from your wallets or exchanges.

I like the name lightning poker and it is appropriate. Does that aspect of lightning also affect the speed of the game or site? Or is that just the name?
Maybe some people compare it with lightning network

Is there any place to read more about this? An FAQ or anything talking about provably fair, rake, whatever?

Welcome and thanks for sharing this new casino with us.
I really enjoy the ease of access to the platform, no signups - perhaps in addition to tweeter you can link other accounts as signups  ???

So far from what I've seen the platform is very simple, maybe too simple and gives you the feeling that it is in its testing phase?
I think some more work is needed.
Also, the green background for me is way too pixilated and looking at it gives me a headache - you need to do something about that as I'm sure others will find it unattractive also (easier to change color).

Overall, good start but I think it needs more work before you can confidently try playing on it.

that's related to lighting network payment, I am sure isn't related to the speed of the game or website.

If Gmail or Facebook using tipping.me, maybe they would link to sign up also.

we can easily test the website by claiming lightning faucet, but the problem is the faucet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154905.0) isn't working yet?. I hope OP could giveaway some sat for testing the website.

Welcome to the forum! It's great that some people are trying to give the LN a shot. I don't think it's salvageable (meaning that I don't think it'll ever become mainstream), but projects like this one give hope that not all is lost with it.
I visited your website, and while I like the colors and the buttons, it's a bit weird that the main page has only a third of it filled with something, and the rest of it is just a green void. I also find it unusual that you have buttons for different cities and different conditions for them... Given that currently there are zero people on the website, it's risky that even if a few people appear, they will disperse into different categories and still won't be able to play. Might I also suggest you to add bots, so that if someone feels like playing, it's possible to do it even when there are no people (or not enough people) on the website?

The project is called lightning-poker because you can deposit via the lightning network.

Will try to add one soon.

We can add more backgrounds.
Thanks for the feedback!

The poker is playable from 1 satoshi, there are also free to play poker rooms on the website.

I was also a little surprised that for the two cities of Sofia and Cairo - free is written, for the rest there are different conditions.  I don't really understand why so many cities should be used at the very beginning of the promotion of lightning-poker?  Perhaps it would be possible to shorten the list a little and fill it with players more complete?  
Maybe I don't know the exact details of the organization of this game :), but then I ask you to clarify.  
Thanks!

@OP, I think you missed this post, about lightning network node.
Also, not many players here are familiar using LN, you may want to accomplish the FAQ with basic questions on how to use this network.
The following links may help players that are not acquainted with LN.
They have no faucet as you can literally play even with 1 sat, but you need to know how to use LN.

That's what I've noticed too when I visited the website. When I opened the table theres only one table that has 1 player. The rest was empty though it is understandable for now because they are still new and just promoting there websites.

But I think you still need to do some  effective promotional style to gain more players, improve your layout, make some welcome bonus offers or do some signature campaigns to promote it.

But anyway, good luck hope these suggestions will reach it out to you for future success.

I looked again at tables for the game.  And I regret to see that the project has stopped or is paused?  There is still one player each in Sofia and Cairo, and no one else will be added. 
So when can we expect this project to develop?

I would like to believe it, but I would still be careful with the term "Instant withdraws". Many companies recommend this, but in practice it turns out not to be instant, but requires manual approval.
This can cause suspicion among customers. It is better to be straight about this. Deposits are also instant? Does that mean we do not need even 1 confirmation of the network?
If this is the case, you can get in big problems with the possibility of double spend.

Instead of saying it was instant I think it will be more appropriate if they state it as fast confirmations on both withdrawal and deposits. In my opinion, I think it's not a big deal on my end I am used to how the Bitcoin confirmation is not that fast maybe they just want to reiterate the new one the description the next time around.

Sofia and Cairo are free to play poker rooms.
The rest of them are playable with sats.

Thanks for posting the links.

We are trying to get more poker players on lightning-poker, thanks for the suggestions.

The payments made on the lighting network are faster than the ones made on the blockchain, also there isn't any type of halving.

They will receive 2000 coins to play with in the free poker room.(You cannot withdraw them or convert them into real sats)

Good luck with your attraction and doing your best to add more players to your platform, lightning-poker.

You can take and apply those good suggestions from other members here. It's for the sake of your platform. You're not forced to adopt most of the suggestions, as long as it's applicable and you think it's necessary, helpful and good idea, you're free to do so.

A very good strategy is that they can make free tournaments so that they can test the platform and with that in some tournaments they can offer some prizes in mBTC, that attracts a lot and makes the players are active all the time.

Yeah I am in total agreement with above mentioned suggestion. The only way forward here is to conduct free rolls. Let the new guys test is for free. Without this you can be in limbo or so much long time,

Well, I can't say I am sure that free rolls can help! Maybe if the site is ready to spend a lot of cash to organize free tournaments with some higher prizes (only way to attract people) and to run them for a month or longer! But when that ends many people will just walk away, they are there for free play, not for playing poker and risking their own money.
Most poker players have their favorite places already! To move them from their favorite place you need to offer something extra. The hard truth is that crypto people are more into lucky based games (dices, slots..) and sport betting than in poker! Who play poker knows that, it's enough to open some crypto poker places and you will see how many people are online and how many people play cash/tournament games!

Good luck with the new poker site! I wish you luck! For now, I moved from SwC to Betnomi because of the bitcointalk private series, but maybe once I will try your site too!

Freeroll as of now is very common and that was good marketing for them so that we cant try to gamble on their site.

However, upon checking the website, I have seen that all the tables are empty, if this is new then better to have a good advertisement in order to attract players. It appears to me so dull if you can make some changes to the design it's a plus for me.

The site offers some tables that can be played for free in fact I may consider it already as a good promotion though, yet I will still suggest to advertised it aggressively like what you did in this forum it can actually gain players here however, it would be better to have it advertised in other platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.

The tables were empty again.
 Where did players in Sofia and Cairo go?  Whay are you stopping at?  Could it be true to intensify the campaign through Facebook Twitter Telegram and other social networks and instant messengers?

We appreciate every type of feedback and we are not ignoring your suggestions!

Yep.

Those free tournaments will attract a lot of players that will try it out. And at the same time, there might be some gamblers that are not aware of the lightning network.

This will make them aware that it exists and there's a casino that accepts it. What do you say about that suggestion op?

I believe once these players are oriented with the use of lightning network, they will love it. Because they can play using small amount of their btc stash. I think we need more LN platforms so people will be aware about its advantage when it comes to transactions. And electrum wallet has support with LN payments. For sure, there are a lot of electrum users here. So maybe, the OP can also make a tutorial of utilizing the LN via electrum wallet.

Just like other services, exchanges, and casinos teaching their players with "how-to" blogs. That's a good idea but it will be depending on L-Poker team to add these small features that you have mentioned.

If they see that there's no need for it, they wouldn't add it up.

But I agree with you that it's a good thing to have into their casino to have something to read for interesting folks.

Cacingkemi doesn't understand how the Lightning network work, He thought the payment was in the blockchain where need confirmation.
LN isn't on blockchain, transaction made by channel. A Beginner's guideline to Bitcoin Lightning Network (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202798.0)

Tutorial already made, Electrum Lightning Network walkthrough (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5259973.0). you need a fee for creating a channel, I suggest you to use a custodial wallet like walletofsatoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/) and bluewallet (https://bluewallet.io/).

Any modifications to the L-P website and educational materials and documents require additional development work.  To do this, you need to devs time and appropriate remuneration for the programmer and game specialist. 
Whether the project team has such opportunities, we do not know.  But in any case, such data in the project would be useful even from the standpoint of its additional advertising.

Hi,
How do I withdraw? What should I type in payment_request?

that's Lightning network payment, this means you have to input/paste your request payment from LN wallet.

go to your LN personal wallet, click deposit, create and copy the invoice, then paste it to the withdrawal box on the Lightning-Poker.com website.

you will get an error if paste it as an amount satoshi.

@Lightning-Poker, do you know the owner of the account ighting_poker (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3353318)? He opened a similar topic: [ANN]Lightning Poker - Bitcoin Lightning Network Texas Hold’em (open source) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5347879.0)
And for some reason, there are a lot of stupid bots in this new thread.

The sequential post of the OP and their "inactivity" in the Forum suggests to me that a scammer has spotted the inactivity and chosen to take advantage of the naming conflict to weave a scam casino with an all too similar brand name, then wait to spring their trap.

Whoever's managing this casino, it looks really bad that you not only have two topics and two accounts, but also keep ignoring the questions about it. And the first account (the one that created this thread) doesn't have negative trust or anything, but given how things are playing out right now, it might. Also, with the new account moderating that thread, there's no way to know that that person's not an impostor pulling something off. I know that this account is not active, but maybe the author of the new account will reply here rather than in the new thread which was created against forum rules.

He isn't online since a year ago, then possible he will ignore you with other questions and suggestions.

You have to look at the site again, you will find play with free, they have a free table for testing such; Sofia and Cairo table. just choose one, Sofia you will get 2000 free chips and in Cairo you will get 20K free chips. but those all just dummy you can't withdraw it. And of course, no player to play with you.

Admin isn’t online, but yes the thread is active here.
And yes the suggestion is quite good.
Having chatbox/trollbox in the site keeps users refreshed if they are in a losing streak and it would be great if the admin can add it.
Moreover I don’t know about the bonus thing, it’s always better to ask the support team before claiming any bonus on the site.
This will help you to not violate any Terms and Conditions of the site.

The layout of the website is very simple and not much attractive to the users also loading time was high. it's didn't get opened on a mobile device. Also no option for live support and no complete details of the withdrawal policy. You need to work more on this website.
The concept of this site is good, as it's good to know that a poker website accepts crypto. But please pay more attention to the details.
