I'd vote BetKing for best site of 2016

Unlikely for 2017 though

Only 17 people still have more than 0.1 on there so not really a need I don't think.

Thanks

Yeah, sent. Hot wallet was a bit low after all the withdrawals.

I'm only checking emails/hot wallet 1-2 times a day now so people should allow up to 24 hours for a reply.

Thanks

Nothing to do with the security breach. That was just a little thing that is part of the job.

I would sell. I posted on he page for sales enquiries email.

Though I would sell for cheaper than the total ICO valuation I'm not going to sell real cheap just because it's closed.
I'm not desperate for money

Offers would still need to be 4 figure Bitcoin or 7 figure £.

There's no point arguing here or discussing what you personally thing it is worth, that's my price and it won't be lowered.
BetKing is still worth a lot to me because if all else fails I can re-open BetKing in a year and pick up where I left off.

Happy new year.

Thanks!

I think you are right. The ICO was rushed, no warning and took 1-2 weeks to really get people understanding what was going on.
Plus it was bad timing with it being the end of the year and Bitcoin increased 25-30% during it.
If I had have stated the amount in £ or $ instead of Bitcoin I probably would have had more success.

It's nothing to do with the hack at all.

Thanks for all the support guys.

I think Bitcoin gambling has matured and improved a lot since BetKing started and players have a much safer environment to play.

BetKing, PrimeDice and BitDice weeded out all the scam sites after Just-Dice closed.

We set the bar high for trust. Well for the sites that were popping up, obviously dooglus is the most trusted on here
 
So the next sites like Better Bets, SafeDice and Crypto games and now new sites like Bitsler, Bitvest, KingDice and YoloDice developed high quality products to attract players instead of just another scam site looking to build a bankroll through crowdfunds to run off with


I've had my differences and silly arguments with a few site owners in public  on this forum (dooglus and Alex mostly but it's competition right? ) but I know better than most how hard the work site owners put in is and how stressful it is.

So keep it up. Don't scam (you make more in long run) and keep making your sites brilliant for the players.

I don't wanna have to re-open BetKing in 6 months

All the best

It's been almost 4 years I've worked on BetKing.
I've done it mostly by myself except from some help here and there but the majority of the time it has been me that deals with development, marketing, promo, support, security, looking after others funds, dealing with abuse etc

Almost every other dice site has more than one member of staff, at least some support staff.

I wanted to make BetKing the #1 Bitcoin gambling site for dice, casino, sports and poker.
It's going to take far too much time on my own to get there (I had a lot of devs let me down over the past 2 years too slowing things down a lot)

The reason I tried to sell shares during the ICO was to raise funds to hire the right people to actually try to make this happen.
But we failed to raise the funds needed. Mostly due to bad timing with it being the end of year and Bitcoin price rising fast and a not so well thought out pitch

I also gave away between 3-400 Bitcoin in promos, prizes etc and made what I feel is the best dice site that is easiest to use over the past 2 years.

But apparently according to the stats on some sites not everyone agrees

BetKing is very profitable and I have made good money off of it but I'm not the type of person to settle for being #2 at something.
It's a very unhealthy obsession that has started effecting my daily life off of BetKing which isn't good .
I could leave it open and neglect it and still make a very good living but I wouldn't be happy with that.

So I've decided to close instead.

I've not decided what I will do instead but I know I'll be taking a long break after everyone is cashed out.

Thanks for everyone who gave support over the years.

Can you try refresh or log out then back in? Had reports it was an issue if trying from account page. Maybe make sure you are on the dice page?

BetKing is closed.
After over 3.5 years of providing the most trusted Bitcoin gambling site BetKing is now closed.

Please withdraw any funds remaining in your balance.

The page will be kept live for a month or two to allow people to withdraw. After that you will need to email support@betking.io to claim your balance.


Thanks to all the players and investors who helped make BetKing one of the best Bitcoin gambling sites.

Good luck in 2017

A lot of people decided to take refund so there's not enough raised.

Just going to refund the ICO investors now.

ICO is cancelled now. Thanks for all who showed interest.

Balances will be updated in the next few hours.

Error in rakeback calculation. Didn't include the days before the site went offline. I'll get it corrected asap.

Rakeback for the past week has been paid.

Please note that was the last rakeback payment. It was a bonus over Christmas for the past month

Thanks

rakeback will be paid today yes

Also seems the biggest reason for the refund, Bitcoin price has increased so much since the start of the ICO that some people are looking to sell for profit now.

As mentioned I emailed everyone asking if they prefer a refund or not.

There is 620 Btc raised so far and from the replies 140 btc want a refund so far.

If another 80+ btc more wants a refund then the ICO will be cancelled.

Thanks

I've emailed everyone who invested 0.1 or more to ask if they want to remain invested or not.
Everyone will be refunded on the 1st if they don't reply stating otherwise.

Also they were asked if they wanted added to slack.

If you are invested for 0.1 or more and did not get the email then pm me with your account details.

Thanks

I'll most likely email everyone who invested in the ICO (not previous bankroll investors).
