Bitcoin Forum

I would love to get some feedback on this idea.  As some of you may know, playing skill games for money is legal in the US and abroad.  I want to set up a website that provides skill, puzzle, strategy games that people can play against each other for bitcoin.  The site woudl take a small percentage (3-5%) fee.  I have a few game ideas that can't be beat by bots or computer programs to ensure people know they are not being cheated.  The games would last 1-2 minutes, and are really fun mind battle games.  You will have a secure account, with win percentages and all kinds of stats, and there will be a leaderboard for people who have won the most.  I understand the security needed to implement this, but I want to know if this will conceptually work.


I would love some feedback!

There is already a website like this. It's called gambit.com (http://www.gambit.com/?ref=jeffthebaker my affiliate, if you will please.) You should probably check that out before you make your own site.

I have seen gambit before.  However, my one problem is the games take to long.  Besides rock papers scissors, the games can last 20-30 minutes. 

If you want in in

I think OP is right, need short entertaining games. Not very sure about multiplayer games though, sometimes is difficult to have someone else on the site at the same time. So, should also have solitaire games, even simple games like "mastermind" would work.

I should get paid for gambit.com ;)

we need chinese poker! (without login or download software)

True, Bitcoiners get jumpy with downloads.

I'm kinda doing something similar.

Basically you play Halo CE for bitcoin

What about mobile games you play and compete for bitcoin?

I can be your beta tester if you have done the beta :)
