Bitcoin Forum

I just wanted to ask most of the users lately are asking if a certain casino is legitimate or not and some are asking why a crypto based casino does not open an Announcement thread here on the forum. Is it really necessary that a crypto casino or sports betting website needed to open an Announcement thread here?

I don't think it is necessary that you need an ANN thread here on the forum since opening an ANN thread is like an advertisement on the forum to attract more cryptocurrency users or gamblers so I think it's optional.

i don't think so there are some casino that is not opening their announcement thread here and most of them are casinos that accept fiat and crypto at the same time also its a good thing to have announcement thread so if users have concerns they can ask on their announcement thread and discuss it.

If they are really serious about their project, then having an ANN thread is a must. It is just one of the ways to widen their marketing strategy in order to give awareness for people that their project does exist in the market.

---

Well, having an ANN thread doesn't  automatically mean that the project or website is 100% legitimate. There are lots of gambling websites with beautiful and well composed ANN thread but still has the guts to scam and steal other people's money.

However, it might give you at least a good 1st impression for your new customers. Having an ANN thread could also mean that they have a way to consult or to send some help, if whenever, the customers are having technical difficulty in your website.

Not just an advertisement but also they can reach the team core about some concerns, technicality problems, bugs and other more it's a great way to have in touch with your players and post updates on what's happening on your casino including new promotions, new rules and others.

An ANN thread would be really helpful to promote some Gambling Websites since getting directly onto the website might be slightly intimidating for new gambling players. The thread can guide some people on how to use the website and explain some of the features that is available. It also triggers some question and answer events that can be informative to the followers of that thread. So I guess, It would really be helpful and beneficial to both parties.

Yes it's necessary create ANN thread in this forum can help you to promote your casino, and many gamblers will check the ANN first before they'll try... to decide it's trustworthy or not.

It also can show how serious, professional, and responsible your casino. If you're always help and solved an issues from many gamblers, I believe your casino will have a lot traffic since many people will not doubt on your casino.

The well designed and offering many promote can make people interested, but if you get negative trust... your ANN will be useless since people will leave from scam casino. So, don't scam.

This
and if I may add, members asks for ANN threads here because they want to see if the online casino is willing to be reviewed by the crypto community. Though opening ANN thread doesn't guarantee 100% legitimacy, casinos allowing themselves to be scrutinized is a plus point to their credibility and reputation.

Besides, there are gamblers here who just loves to play but are not knowledgeable to the technical aspects of online casinos. They rely on the free reviews provided by other geek gamblers here.

Others already mentioned it's mainly for marketing. If you don't plan on tapping the users here, you don't have to open.

Not at all! But it's good to have one ANN thread created by the owner himself. While there is no hard and fast rule to create an ANN thread, it's good from SEO perspective as well. Bitcoin is a hugely popular cryptocurrency related forum and opening an ANN thread will certainly help the casino to reach more people easily and for free.

Furthermore, when the owner is available on the forum, it gives confidence to the users. But there is no mandate!

It isn't necessary but for the purpose of advertising I think it counts. Just like other cryptocurrencies out there in the market they have flourished and they are legitimate but some of them doesn't open Ann threads here.

SEO is the main purpose here just like what @avikz said so if ever someone searched for it on search engines they can get more informations of it. And, since it has Ann thread here in the forum the user searching for it will wonder what are other information he might get from the talks of the other users here, just my opinion.

If the Bitcoin community is the casino's target market, they will naturally open ANN thread here, and then do a proper introduction (so YES!). People will try the casino, comment, do some reviews, begging for campaigns, etc. It's part of forum/community dynamics. If they like getting more of users' engagement, then they will open ANN and even do campaign here.

in my opinion? yeah, they do, but it is still up to them if they want to create an ANN thread or not. if a casino wants to introduce themselves they should do it the proper way and putting important and relevant information about their gambling site is a great way to do that and doing a proper introduction could possibly attract gamblers possibly gain a gambler that regularly plays on their website.

I think it needs to be done to make ANN in this forum because to extend the promotion you need especially with regard to crypto names, so here it would be better if there are many opinions especially after seeing reviews from users, for me this forum is good enough to promote gambling sites Crypto even a lot of interest if you see what you have to offer it.
I see that now many people continue to make ANN threads for gambling platforms especially when this signature campaign is better and more promoted by users.

You get extra traffic to your site and it is free, I dont see why they shouldn't

It's is not necessary, but why miss an opportunity to advertise on the biggest crypto forum, with the huge amount of people ready to gamble using crypto?
Crypto casino doesn't necessarily has to have signature campaign going on here, but some kind of presence is definitely better than none.

if you are going to answer inquiries and questions from your customers regarding your casino it would be a good notion to keep an Ann thread here in the forum. successful casinos did it here in the forum along with a signature campaign.

Ann thread too is part of your marketing. if i have a casino i would also be taking advantage of bumping my thread which you will be able too to burst visibility.

Its not really that necessary but for a business owner then making some ANN thread on the most popular and biggest crypto forum is one of the best thing to be done when it comes to marketing and since you are
crypto based ones then getting traffic from real crypto users rather than focusing into other social media platforms that most people dont even know about crypto.Dont just focus on traditional marketing
because it is really worth that you do introduce your new site into this forum and do really make out some exposure.When it comes to feedbacks then you would definitely able to know on what are good and the bad ones since users here are really truthful on what they do saw and do make opinions out of it on which you can really make alterations or changes quickly and do improve your site even more.

Yes and no in my opinion.

IT really depends about what you think is a good strategy for you, for many casinos, especially licensed ones, maybe crypto users and especially the ones from this forum do not even qualify to play on their sites. And you want people with credit cards etc to play there, even if you accept crypto.

But if you are only a crypto casino then you want a presence on the forum. But be ready to be responsive and transparent, because this forum is so active and people will come and talk and challenge you:)

Create an announcement thread isn't something required, it totally depends on the team who are operating the gambling site. Creating an ANN thread on this forum would be an advantage for the platform. On the other hand, the platforms will get new gamblers from the forum and gamblers also will be able to express their opinions on the ANN thread. So new gamblers would realize the current situation of a gambling site. So, if any gambling site wants to take advantage of the forum they must need to create an announcement thread here and that's how they might get lots of potential gamblers.

If you are not active in this forum and have a good market outside then there's no need to open a new thread here since provably if your service and promotion is good it will scattered by referral by existing gamblers to the new gamblers, But if you want to widen up your market and target the forum users then its really good to open up a thread here since you might get so many crypto gamblers here and if you do a study on how big the market here for sure you will get an interest to put some good promotions here.

It is if the site wants to gain gamblers here because there ANN thread will be a space where they can make an announcement and people can ask regarding the site. Most of the reputable gambling in the forum have their ANN thread here, and ANN thread alone is also useless if they'll not put a representative of their site to answer queries from gamblers. Follow other sites ANN thread as model, the more it is active, the more it will gain trust from the community.

There are casino's that don't have ANN threads and not even a signature campaigns to advertise in this community. But it seems they have stayed in the game for so long that they didn't even decided to create one. And there's is a case wherein their is a ANN thread, but was quickly abandon for some strange reasons. So it's not a must, but definitely a plus.

to this, I would add just one more thing. If Casino does not want to open ANN, it seems to me like they want to hide something or to avoid public communication with their users. Except that, I can't see another reason to not be a professional and present your business.
Of course, it's always possible that someone running a crypto casino and do not know about this place. although it must be a small percentage of crypto oriented people.

Its your casino and this is public forum, if you want to be active here in promotions or any kind of events then it is better to have an announcement section to mention what kind of things are going in your casinos in one place and making different threads about your casino site might resulted into the deletion of those threads for spamming that is why is also important to have one for everything.

This forum is the oldest and has the huge amount of members and investors therefore if you want to get more customers or players in your platform then this is the
right place to drop your Announcement thread.

But this forum will not force you if you don't want to create your Ann thread therefore the answer to your question is that, it is not necessary to create your Ann thread
if you don't feel doing it.

It definitely isn't necessary. There are several sites that have had no issues attracting gamblers without advertising in this forum. ANN threads are basically a form of advertising in this forum.

Serious members go as far as purchasing copper membership to advertise their sites. You could advertise in other ways too like signature campaigns, bounties etc in order to attract players from the crypto world.

Advertising in this manner involves spending money which is why you need to have enough funds. Ultimately, no amount of advertising would be enough if your site itself lacks in many areas.

I think a Casino should advertise here to ask users to try the site out in Beta mode where no funds change hands, then the site goes away and evaluates their software for bugs and then comes back with an ANN thread.  If a site is being accused of scamming, that could be a competitor trying to create FUD, someone bellyaching their payout didn't happen fast enough, or, it really could be a scammy site.  You'd have to take into context the type of thread.

It should be on this way but majority of them goes live directly or not in Beta mode. I agree into that system where they should advertise while its still a test phase and able to know on what are still lacking
or what errors do the site have and for some return neither they would decide to give a little bit of bounty or amount to those who do give out valid feedback and recommendation .

Is it necessary to create an ANN thread on this forum? For me, it should be a priority knowing that this forum had the most number of crypto users and since your
website is crypto based then this would be included in the priority.

ANN thread is not the only one place to have public communication with their players, there are some sites without ANN thread but they have active social media pages.
I mean to say that we can judge that any sites want to hide something because they do not have ANN thread especially in this forum.
Although this forum is the biggest crypto related forum, but it does not mean that it is suitable for all sites to promote/advertise their project.
Of course, having an ANN thread in this forum with an active representative will give the site more advantages.

I have just looked at the overview of lists of sites. it seems that casinos that use ann threads are more likely to be successful. it looks much nicer and above all more professional so that customers see that you are serious about it.

It probably important for transparency and publicity reasons. I think a betting site (or any other site/project) that want potential customers to have proper details about its site would need to have such thread on the forum. Whether it's mandatory or not I am not sure. Many would need such threads to help them decide whether to participate or not, and also for the purpose of holding site's or projects owners/admins/moderators accountable if what is on the threads do not tally with what they found or experienced on the promoted sites/projects.

Maybe a combination of both would be the optimal strategy then. It is important to be active on many fronts, and not only in one direction. Working with bonuses and promotions is also very attractive, I think.
Only problem mostly will be the Roll over requirements.

The fact that they are here in the forum, we already know their purpose, and that is to promote their gambling site, it's an opportunity as it's free and if they continue to work for the improvement of the site, they should also get involve with the community and that's by listening to suggestions and feedback from bitcointalk users. I believe there's a lot of gambling sites outside the forum that are already popular, but if they can make their site more popular by using this forum, why would not take that opportunity.

By having an Ann thread here it could help to promote your gambling site. Given the fact that there are many online casinos these days and competing each day, somehow you are giving the users to be more interested to join. Also, when you have an update here in the forum like having a daily giveaway this encourage users to be more interested to sign up on your site. So it increases the engagement and number of users.

Creation of ANN thread is not mandatory or some kind of requirement yet, it is necessary not just for promotional purposes but also to establish an engagement with the community. ANN thread can help in answering concerns and receiving suggestions.

Do they "need" to, no.  But would it hurt them, no.  Its all about advertising and getting people onto a particular site you are running, in this case a crypto online casino.  What better way to advertise than a FREE post on a crypto forum that has tons of active users in a crypto gambling sub thread.  It just makes sense to do so there is no reason not to.  But if not it doesn't delegitimize them either just bad marketing in my eyes

Indeed. Creating of ANN thread is one of the marketing strategy used by online casinos. But it does not really mean that it should be done by every casino.


You have a good point. Certainly, there would be engagement in the community which could benefit the casino.

It's not necessary, a casino can exist without a thread. But that makes it seem unpopular or suspicious, so it's in the interests of the casino to make such a thread. The thread is useful to find the official representative of the casino, to see casino's overview and updates, evaluate how it engages with its audience. And given that there is a one thread per casino rule, it wouldn't be possible to make brew threads for every announcement, and thus making this one official thread makes sense.

I must say that the ANN thread is a helpful tool to build the platform's reputation. The ANN thread reflects the hard work of the advertising team, how they wanna commit to the industry and how things are going under their sight. Separate thread for the announcement will also keep the the work neat and clean especially when you have campaign in the forum, you can just redirect some people asking question with a simple ANN thread link.

At least to me the answer is yes, you need an announcement thread here in the forum, not only this will help you get visibility to your casino it is also a place to receive complaints about your service that everyone can see, this is important because while a user can try to resolve things by using the customer support of the casino for the most part we do not see how the problem is resolved, but if you do this in public and we see that you actually care about the people that gamble in your casino and that you treat them with respect and try to solve their problems that only helps to grow your reputation.

But obviously if the casino mistreats their players in their thread this also gives us insight on the casino itself and most likely someone like me will decide to never play in that casino.

I think not but i think they should not just because most of their competitor has but it is good for advertising to attract players and to post updates where in a lot of players can see it.

At least with an announchment thread many user here will see the ins and out of the gambling site itself. Comparing to some casino who didn't have any announchment thread and he just tell that they have a gambling site, it hard to believe and most likely the user here will consider that the gambling site is scam. It sould make a warn for those developer who has new gambling site. Moreover if the developer try to promote their gambling through this forum it would be nice and will attract new user here to gamble. 

And having an ANN thread will give a casino a chance to insert thier links in the pages, more like a backlinks for them too which is what they would need to be visible on google. ANN thread is part of a marketing. It's not just an opportunity for a casino that should be taken advantage but true a shot to sucess if used properly.

A casino that won't be creating an ANN thread will not have the chance to rebutle the accusations against them.

The ANN thread for a gambling site is a must where all the announcement for that particular casino are being done and also the issues reported for the casino can also be sorted out. However, there must be a official representative from the gambling casino who should be active on the forum and answer of every query.

it's not necessary but it's optional it's up to the gambling site if they would choose to create announcement thread here there are some advantages on creating announcement thread here such as free exposure here in the forum also you will have the chance to interact with the players, post updates and hear feedback from them.

If a gambling site is  investing so much time and effort in engaging with the people by opening a thread and at the same time listening to their problems and such , people will obviously tend to favour those sites .

What you have to do is to actually invest a little time here which would not only mean you would have introduced you to the community but also give the people a chance to actually know you.

Why shouldn't you do it ?
You do have an option there .. you definitely can skip this part but if writing here does mean you can go to a wider audience  wouldn't it be really great for you ?

By using the feedback from the users you can actually help create a better environment for everyone , that is going to mutually benefit you the most as a new gambling site.

Those are without a doubt interesting reasons for a casino to open an announcement thread but without a doubt both of them are valid, by creating an announcement thread here in the forum they are going to increase their visibility to Google which is always a good thing of course because as we know Google is by far the most popular search engine.

However the second reason is even more important, we know that there are many gamblers that after losing some money will claim that they were scammed even if they lost their money fair and square, so it is important for casinos and quite honestly any service with deals with cryptocurrencies to have an announcement thread here in the forum in which people can post their complaints and then they can be resolved swiftly by the support team so they can clean their names in the case of being wrongfully accused of being scammers.

For a business like this then its no surprise that these accusations will pop out no matter how legit or fair the site was since there are really people who do accuse without having any proofs and with
that it can really somehow give negative view to the business.Having ANN threads wont really be just helpful in google searches but also putting up one on this forum will really give out
exposure into one of the largest crypto traffic in the market.So its just dumb for you not to consider up this place on not putting  or advertising your site on here.
You are targeting crypto market and its no brainer that this spot is sweet.

A competitor can create a fake accusation to ruin the reputation of legit sites and we've seen so many of those but there's no one yet get caught for that acts since anyone can create a dummy account here. And we can easily spot those guys doing that since majority of them just posting some words without providing a solid proof regarding on their claims.

And actually I agree with you since it could create a good benefits for the site owner to have a ANN here but still its their personal selection if its really necessary or not since if the site is good and the games are appealing for sure people will just come and play.

That's how some gambling sites play the game of competition, they can play dirty, and I believe that having a ANN thread would help them clear their names too as an ANN thread should not be limited to announcement only.

Competitors can create fake accusation but fake accusation does not win against the truth, and that would only make a gambling site popular if they can always depend themselves against any fake accusation.

It is necessary because he is part of the community and this is where the project belongs, it can easily create a lot of followers here, he need not create a signature campaign to gain attention but creating an announcement will give it reviews and suggestions, the only Crypto gambling sites that do not want to create an announcement here are scam projects, because they will easily get caught.

Yes, ANN thread is good as all can read and know what is happening with the gambling site, any information or giveaways so that it can reach to everybody. Also, signature campaign helps to grow the site as it will get more traffic and people would like to try out their services. Else, why are other doing campaign if it is not resulting any benefit to them.

I have never thought about that but you are right, a casino that is going through some trouble to get clients may think that a competitor casino is responsible of this and try to ruin their reputation with a fake scam accusation in the forum since you can create an account anonymously.

However thanks to the trust system it is going to be very difficult to damage their reputation in the forum as most of the DT users ask for some kind of evidence before they tag and create a flag against a user, so at the end I do not think this tactic will be very effective in the forum but it could be outside of it where the trust system has no effect.

Well creating ANN thread for their casino is a must because its their way to advertise to the mass bitcoin users. Its best to create one before your competitors create one for you. often times when a casino already have a tainted reputation, its always going to be difficult to erase it in the minds of the users.

Some casino are dying to promote here in bitcointalk even with the bad reputation already, take advantage of creating your own thread.

I am completely sure that you have read the phrase "Unwritten Rule" but even more important is to understand its meaning in the depth of what it really means, so understanding that, any type of user with or without experience in the game or in the blockchain, want check if a certain casino came through the forum to expose their project.

The bitcointalk Gambling (e.g.) "ANN Thread" forum is a mandatory place where your project must be presented, at some point or phase of the project. That is an "Unwritten Rule" of any trusted project.

But best of all, is that some projects that do not go through here when they should, end up exposed by third parties, for false or good reasons, criticize them in such a way that they take away an important traffic of players, if not the most important that can exist for any project that exists related to the blockchain.

Really something as simple as making a thread of your project in the forum, "must" have an important consideration, as I already said in any phase of the launch, and if possible add financing for advertising, signature campaign, social media campaign , etc, any project must take marketing seriously, like the project itself, and that serious marketing must include the bitcointalk forum.

These tactics are common even into real-life scenario or investments then these kind of accusations does exist just for them to ruin up competitors reputation.Its not surprising that it do exist on this forum but
people arent that blind nor that too dumb to believe into such claims without any valid or solid evidences.

On the question if its worth or necessary to create and ANN thread on this forum then its definitely one of the best consideration that you should take.This place had the most or biggest traffic of
crypto users and if your site is based off with crypto then it would really be needed.

Some companies might not see this forum at all thats why they do stick out into those common mediums or ways of marketing which is mostly done thru social media and other platforms.

I will advise them that they should open one but I don't know if there are Crypto gambling casinos that are not aware of the existence of Crypto gambling casinos here, once you create your own project the next thing that you'd like to do is planning on how to market it effectively and target the right users to your project and the majority of Crypto gambling casinos make it their priority to hire a designer so they can create a well and professionally designed announcement for their announcement here.

An announcement thread gives wide visibility to the service rendered. Bitcointalk is the most trusted platform available for the purpose of cryptocurrency related services. Having an announcement thread enriches the service and makes it trustable.

More projects and services have gone as a scam, even when there is perfect announcement thread. This means it is a criteria that's been followed in our forum during the launch of new services or products with cryptocurrency acceptance.

If I found a new crypto casino I normally check if there is a thread here on this forum. If there isn't one I won't play there. I just want to read expericence of other users.

There is just one casino where I play which doesn't have a thread here but I had some good experience over there before I found this forum.

An ANN thread on bitcointalk and other forums is basically a free marketing.

In addition you have a platform to represent some reputation of your project, thus it's always a plus to have a topic.
However some of your team members must watch it to answer any questions.

They can say whatever they want outside of this forum, but it will hardly have any effect on the reputation of the site they want to denigrate(of course, if the site is fair by itself). Bitcointalk  is set up in such a way that you can check on who's making accusations, who's supporting them and who's against them, and then come to your own conclusions.

If owners of an online crypto casino don't create an ANN thread here, they can be suspected in having something to hide from the community. So, in short, an ANN Thread here is a must.

Marketing is one part of it, another is helpful to the site as well because quite possible they may be unaware of some bug or something they need to communicate to mass users, so this platform helps then to just post and inform to their users about the update on any particular thing etc. It has many advantages as such if you look at it and better to have this as it also creates an open communication between the site and users and being transparent is what is being liked by many users.

It's the right word, respect! With opening the ANN thread here, make good promotions for members, you can attract many players from this forum, who will bring even more players from others sites. Managing the ANN thread is equal important as opening one, to be active there, to solve the problems people have, to talk with players and improving your site with the help of advices you get from all of us. After a while casino can gain a good reputation here, and with signature campaign it can be a full hit! I believe this forum is the best place for promoting all crypto services, including crypto casinos and other crypto gambling sites just for dices and other simple games.

Of course, advertising is not superfluous. Especially free. However, it is worth remembering that for a new project or casino, it is not enough just to open a topic with an announcement and let everything take its course. This will be bad advertising because the topic will turn into a flood. The project will need to hire a person who will monitor the topic with an announcement and answer users ' questions accurately and correctly. And that would be a waste of extra money. Only in this case, such a topic will be a good advertisement for the casino.

You would need to spend extra even into those basic needs yet its part of the marketing and counted as an expense.Results will always vary on how good your site is because even if you do

spend thousands of bucks but if the site you are promoting is just complete trash then it still useless and if you do compared on a very slight market site but with a very good design and service then this will rather have
a chance to hook up lots of players.

ANN thread on this forum isnt really that necessary but considering that this place has the most number of people that  involves with crypto then its impossible for you not to choose this one out.

In this topic, the OP was given a lot of interesting and reasonable answers why some new casinos do not open their topics with announcements on our forum. All of these reasons may be true. Some casinos do not have enough money for this, other casinos are not cool enough to withstand spoiled critics from the forum, etc.  ;)
We can discuss these reasons at length. It would be best if we found casinos that are not represented on our forum and asked them this question.

That would be ideal but to presume out on possible answers neither they dont know this forum or they dont just like to post up on here because they are afraid with the criticisms just like what you said but

to think that these criticisms would be beneficial at least they would able to hear out on what people are looking into and if they do find out something wrong then you can actually fix it.

Its just impossible for that reason though and also it doesnt really require money to post up a thread on here even if they dont consider on launching up some campaigns etc.

Ann thread is always needed for gambling site to become renounced in the forum, without that I don't think people will be informed properly. With this popular forum of bitcoin and gambling discussion, we should promote gambling with the right section. Most importantly, when making a legit ann thread always prevent scammers to initiate bad moves and make bad reputation of your thread, it must always be moderated to become trusted.

True.

The same rules apply to any marketing of any project -- if it's a bad project no marketing can pull it to the profitability.

The BTCtalk is a good platform for discussion, but personally I haven't got too much clicks from it partially because I can't make a flashy bio with my rank yet  ;D

It's still useful as a place to gather feedback and build some Public Reputation for the project.

To be honest, I can't believe that people who are engaged in cryptocurrencies have never heard of our forum. I prefer the version that they decided for one reason or another not to open their topics with announcements here.

Thats the reality but there are exceptions just like on what you had mentioned about your rank.It isnt always the criteria for the community to rely on because if they do find out

your content or the thing you've been marketing and it do looks interesting and relevant then you might really get that consideration.

It maybe hard to believe but there are really those projects that havent able to find this place but i do agree on what you had said that its odd for them not to able to browse or
to know that this place do exist specially when you are dealing with crypto.

It's interesting that there is a whole other industry of crypto related projects out there that don't rely on, or have never heard of the forum yet are able to flourish.  Clearly to answer the OP No, not really. People really can get by without the forum.

Having said that however, it should be noted there are nearly 3M registered users on the Forum, so that is a market that is being missed out on by these other groups.

I know a lot of projects, not only from the field of gambling, that do not have their own topics with announcements on our forum. This is normal, they have such a marketing strategy and for some reason they decided not to start their topic here. However, it is very difficult for me to assume that people associated with cryptocurrencies have not heard anything about our forum at all.

Well, that is simple logic, those gambling companies touched the Bitcointalk forum and want to promote their brand name, they need to create an ANN thread ^{[this is not mandatory but it is necessary]} . The meaning of ^[ANN] is announcement thread where they can update anything about their project developments, promotions, and events. In this section also, it was pinned posted the rule that it should be 1 thread per 1 gambling site, beyond for that, perhaps it will be deleted by MOds. On my own, ANN thread is necessary if you are promoting your company but if you are only shilling here, it is up to you.

3M registered users but we do just talk a small portion of it considering that there are lots of alts, new accounts that is just solely being created for spam and scamming attempts and more.

but overall its just really hard for someone in business that wont consider this place.They can proceed on but as said they had just missed to advertise or to market into a place where

crypto traffic is really worth to try on.It might not be necessary but you'll surely not like to miss this one out.

NO, not necessarily. Opening and creating an ANN thread on here is not mandatory but it's a custom as a way to increase your visibility to perspective customers.

This is because on here there are many people who check these pages on a daily basis for updates and what not. So it's a cheap way to promote your new casino whilst getting constructive feedback.

This has been the norm and the process many casinos have undertaken even if it was an idea or a pre-product, people are keen to provide feedback on the features they want or would like introduced. Thus, it is a great way to understand the needs of your customers - great, cheap market research!

It is not necessary. It is just that, by opening an ann thread, the casino website can be seen by many possible users. It can also be used as a way to get updates for possible events and if there are questions from its users or anything needs to be answered can be done in the ann thread. Basically, it is just a tool to extend words easier from the casino to its users or vice versa.

Not that really. But it's the same as increasing your channels. Just like those companies that have several social media pages, from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram and other social media pages that they can create. Having an ann thread here is that you are recognizing the traffic that you can get from the forum and it's the most popular bitcoin forum. Traffic from here is organic and you don't have to target your market because it's already being classified as people here are aware of cryptocurrencies and gambling.

Don't confuse normal projects and scam projects. Normal projects need a theme with announcements more for connecting with the community and announcing news and announcements, as well as even for advertising, but not for shilling.

We might need to revisit the purpose of having an ANN thread for any cryptocurrency project especially those that started from here( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5188163.0 ). The early projects have announcement threads in the forum that is still active till date, it has an active moderators, that post developments and answer queries and question. They are usually added to the contact media on market charts. I trust projects with thread on the forum than telegram, they face stronger criticism on the forum than on Telegram and social media.

Even if someone want to scam, he can create a beautiful and eye catching ANN thread and make people believe in his project. So it is our judgement on how we perceive the project. You would have seen many ANN where they are being bumped by the newbies (paid perhaps) to keep their thread active and on top.

Bitcointalk is a perfect place to introduce your business if you deal in crypto. It could be an exchange, a gambling site, a bitcoin mixer service or a marketplace which deals in bitcoins. With ANN thread one can announce his business in an organized way. You will get real customers from this platform.

Not only that an announcement thread it is the perfect marketing tool, after all by taking the incredibly small efforts of creating an announcement thread in the forum a casino or quite honestly any service in general you can reach tens of thousands of people each day that could be highly interested on their services and all of that for free, can any expert on marketing ask for anything better than that?

And if all of that was not enough it allows you to have direct contact with those that could be interested in your service and will let you know of what they want and what they need and implement those features in your casino and that way you will improve their experience and most likely they will come back to keep playing in your casino improving your profits.

Good points, having ANN threads in this forum does not mean that the project is always good project.
We have seen many scam projects in this forum. At first those projects looks good by having attractive ANN thread but at the end they turned into scam after reaching their target.
Back to topic, necessary or not to have ANN thread is not our business at all.
The projects who are the one who decide whether it is necessary or not to announce their project in this forum.

Indeed. ANN thread in the forum may be used as channel to encourage traffic of the site or for a business but it does not guarantee the legitimacy of such company or project. That being said, ANN threads also help the members of the community in identifying and giving out information about scam and bad projects within the community.

Of course, projects themselves decide how to be and what to do. However, we also want to think and find a reason why some interesting projects do not publish their topics with announcements.
I am sure that these projects know about the Bitcoin forum, they just consider advertising here either too expensive or not quite effective.

It is indeed.
Most of the crypto services including casinos are making their threads publish here because they do understand that this is the perfect place for their announcement. Not mentioning other platforms which they can publish any of their announcements but they can't just go without publishing it on bitcointalk.
It may not be an immediate requirement but if they have been long in the community, they will understand why it is important.

For people who do own crypto business then its not surprising that they would consider on making marketing into this place but there are some that havent seen this place or not really aware but sooner or later
they will discover it out and would immediately make out advertisements yet no one would like to miss out a place that had pure crypto traffic or audience which is really the perfect place for you to
make out exposure neither you do have a gambling site or any other crypto related services. Making ANN thread might not be necessary but if you do really like for some recognition or
awareness then this will be always a best option to take.

Adds a small amount of credibility and possible feedback, cant see why not.   Everyone on here has BTC and presumably your operation runs on that so why not come here.   In general terms demographic specific advertising and awareness is the most valuable to a company, advertising to people who neither have crypto or gamble is slightly a waste of time and its always the case you go where the people are.

Each and every service and project developed related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency acceptance prefer to have an announcement thread. It isn't sure to have an announcement thread, but to give regular updates and reach the cryptocurrency users in an easier way announcement thread helps. These days promotion is much required as more competition is high in the market.

Yeah right. This community is one of the oldest and most recognized crypto community and that means pure heavy traffic for those casinos that will create ann thread.
And it's a plus for them if their service is recommend and pure good feed backs and reviews.

It is always recommended if the project developed related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency have an ANN in this forum, so we can visit on the project website before they launch officially.
We can suggest to the owner or the team to fix something needed before launch to be okay and don't get any problem.
But that will depend on them because we can only suggest to them, the decision will be at them.
If the project has ANN on here, it can be another promotion to their website before launching it.
We can at least try their service, and we can know if that site is worth enough or the site needs more updates before launch.

Exactly that is the kind of traffic every single product and service wants and for the most part it can be very expensive to get but in this forum those services can get that traffic for free, as such they can concentrate on what really matters, the quality of their product of service.

And there is also an added bonus to announce yourself here, you get free market research information, if you do not know what features your clients may like to see been implemented you can ask them directly here in the forum, I know this is possible by email as well but many people never read those kind of emails as we are used to see it as spam but here in the forum people are happy to contribute and give you ideas about what your service is lacking.

Another thing to add is, its not just the ANN thread that they are focusing their minds on. They also produce a better front-end development on their websites and I guess if they really want to scam some people, they will also invest a lot of money on that. Its actually easy to create a website if you have knowledge on HTML, CSS and JavaScript since people won't know whats happening on the back-end side. Maybe this will call onto the verification of some platforms that might be launched.

Bounty managers should also be wary since this might also stain their names.

If you read carefully, you will notice that we are discussing first of all whether new casinos need to create their own topics with announcements on our forum. We are trying to understand why some crypto casinos don't do this. How and what is installed on casino sites is something else entirely.
