Title: 24 Bitcoin Gambling sites 'gone' in less then 1 year! Post by: Tschai on April 23, 2014, 07:55:08 PM Just a micro-research I wanted to share.
Although the Bitcoin Gambling business seems to be one of the most lucrative and 'money making' business, in the past 1 year at least 24 Bitcoin Gambling sites have 'vanished': they're not operational anymore, the domain has expired or they've just turned into another Bitcoin related business. I was busy generating the Top 100 Bitcoin Gambling Sites (http://topbitcoinsites.com/category/gamesgambling/) and checked all listed Bitcoin gambling sites at Top Bitcoin Sites (http://topbitcoinsites.com/) and noticed that from more than 100 sites 24 does not 'exist' anymore. The following former Bitcoin Gambling sites have 'bitten the dust': http://blockrace.co/ http://www.bitesports.com http://www.coinbomb.com http://bitcoinpokerace.com https://biturl.in http://www.BTCMaze.com https://bitcoingem.net/ https//www.bitcoinpoker.io http://www.satoshiaces.com http://speedbet.net http://btcblockbet.com/ http://slydice.com http://www.satoshilive.com http://bitpotluck.com/ http://www.madpay.com/ http://playbitco.in/ http://bitvegas.net/ http://www.btcontilt.com http://bitbook.biz http://www.coingames.in/ http://bitcoingem.com/ http://www.casinobit.net The thing is, that some of them actually 'looked' very professional 'on the surface'. We are busy with a World Cup 2014 Bitcoin Pool ourselves and I'm actually kind of shocked that this many (and this is just sites submitted at TBS (http://topbitcoinsites.com/)) have done so...'bad'. I wonder whether the same will apply also for Bitcoin World Cup Pools...!? Title: Re: 24 Bitcoin Gambling sites 'gone' in less then 1 year!

There must be an easy way to find a good and legit bitcoin casino... I haven't played on that sites, but if you're into gambling and maybe like Book of Ra, this could be a good alternative for you - I made some great experiences here: http://bitcasino.io?ref=0 (http://bitcasino.io?ref=0) Book of Ra will be implemented soon - They already had this, but changed their software lately. |
