Incoming revenue is near-zero right now, there are 2-3 players a day and the site is winning maybe 1k-2k satoshi daily - it is absolutely tiny right now, since there is no marketing activity going on. With marketing, this site could do VERY well! We have been involved and setup sites before that have done amazingly.

All it needs is a marketing plan and budget!


STARTING BID: 1 BTCitcoin.


What justifies the price of 30K USD for a brand new casino with almost no traffic and active players?
Someone has to pay you 30K USD for the casino and invest thousands of dollars for marketing afterwards, only to get a few hundred active players. It might take several years to such casino to return the investment and earn a profit(and nothing is guaranteed).  
What's the point for someone to spend 30K USD for your website, instead of building his own casino website from scratch?
Running a business requires consistency and perseverance. The gambling business is just like any other business. The competition is brutal.
It seems to me that you have given up too quickly, or you are trying to make some quick money.
It is almost the same thing as OP giving up this casino and the casino not making much return on investment.  I believe marketing was the issue of this casino which OP never looked into. I have noticed that most of the big names here all did promotion and marketing which gave them publicity they enjoying today and some are still at running the campaign without looking at the fact that they already made big name for themselves.

OP there is nothing wrong with your casino but how you showcase it to the world matters. If it may please you to know, there are more gamblers here than you could imagine and in that case, there is every tendency that casinos that does promotion are likely noticed and engaged with. That is the power of advertising. So you are not left out. Do the needful OP.

I feel your withdrawal has been flagged as the winning amount is big.
This is the worst part of it all, why is someone gambling when can't trust the integrity of the casino? When he losses, all the money will be withdrawn easily from his account without any question asked, but when such wins, it would be an issue to get his money, especially when it's big. Betting with $12,000 is not small for a return of $8,000, the guy took a high risk, so he shouldn't again suffer psychological trauma for his winning.
Casinos should stop doing this rubbish, that's why the industry needs stricter regulations in all jurisdictions, if done, there will be a maximum time you must payout winnings or face heavy sanctions.
Possibly taking up a legal case seems not too alright in most cases because the casino have nothing to loose  when it gets to that extent as they would delay the case while they are on their business and you will be there paying legal fee while the case is prolonged. Sometimes the attorney might likely compromise and the case becomes messy and you end up spending much which you never bergained for. 

I believe OP must have gone through lots in the cause of waiting for this  case but patience I would want him to eschew to a calm resolution.  If it seems the representative is not responding then the campaign manager should be the next option to swing into action to salvage this solution as I believe there would be a resolve if he does.

Hey mate  i see this as the new bot invasion on social media these days. I really do not think this is organic as you claim. How can you guarantee that hugh number of upvotes within a short period of time are you a celebrity ? but it is obvious even at then these whole thing of a sort looks scammy.  
How come you never opted for an escrow because nobody would give you any dime when they do not trust you here.

Show your profile before to prove your point.
we have a one thousand people clicker farm in asia
and we do accept escrow !

OP I am not convinced in this offer to be genuine. Come to talk of it, the growth is not organic as there are possibly some bit accounts you would use to fill up the gap. So do not say you have a thousand plus clicker farm in Asia. Are they your upvote machine or to your bot you use in deceiving people for your purported Reddit account growth? Members are now wise and would definitely take caution in this kind of offer.

I agree. I will just wait.

Still no new updates? It does seem like a long time to wait for no apparent reason, unless there is a suspicion of some kind of abuse on your part. I wonder why @duelbits representative did not stop by this thread and offer some explanation to the community, even though he was active on the forum today. Perhaps he simply wasn't aware of this topic.


If they fail to respond then OP should possibly go to their announcement thread and post the link of this thread there for them to see what is really going on and as well create a Scam accusations thread with proof that backs up OP claims of deposit and win result of being scammed of his or her funds with the casino. I was wondering why they would keep mute over this for long without any official word from them. It is not making any sense at all.
1526  Economy / Digital goods / Re: NakamotoRoulette.com - Selling to highest bidder! on: July 21, 2023, 09:21:53 PM
It is nice hearing that the roulette casino is being bankrolled and fully operational but you can as well map out a little budget for advertisement purpose so that you do not have issues in the future just as it happened that you were about putting it up for auctioning. Advertisement plays a big role in publicity and awareness. If a project sees importance in advert and promoting their product, then they should also consider doing advertisement to reach out to a wider community. I believe advertisement is just the issue roulette is facing currently so it would be in the best interest of the casino to tow that path of promoting their product here for a bigger  and wider audience to key into.
So, that means it is already handed out to its new owner? That's cool but they should change the title of this thread now or better create a brand new announcement thread and state all the new things that have changed. Advertisement is important and might be needed again to let others know that they are back again on track.

It can be expensive but it is worth it as long as we are confident that the service that we can deliver to the public is superb. Issues on the other hand might occur again sooner or later but that was fine as there is no perfect casino without flaws and if we can see, almost all casinos do always run a maintenance from time to time.

It seems you really did not take your time to read through to get a proper knowledge and Understanding of the scene and how it is happening. You just jumped to conclusions at ease. I never mentioned it was sold neither did I mentioned that anybody bought the casino i was only making emphasis on the fact that they got bankrolled to continue with the roullet. I wonder how you understood it  to have made such comment.
1527  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Online mining on: July 21, 2023, 08:32:06 PM
OP do not waste your time and resources in anything online mining. It is still the  same as cloud mining which has no benefit and impact on the Crypto space anymore. Better still you can focus on your trading platform which I assume to be an exchange you have in mind building but you should know that licensing would have to do with your government where such exchange would be operating from.

You are correct, but I guess this is what you mean:

Mixers are good at mixing transactions bitcoin and keeping them out of trace.

Absolutely correct sir. No doubt mixers are good at mixing bitcoin and keeping them out of trace for personal safety and security. Most bitcoin holders do this so that people do not see the volume of their assets and funds as they  have it as their store of value. This invariably means that they would need to protect their assets from public view and letting no one know much about their transactions wallets holding such funds as the case may be.
1529  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Local Nigerians perception on cryptocurrency and online in General on: July 21, 2023, 07:44:21 PM
I don't no if you guys have actually observe it that almost everybody believes that every online work including cryptocurrency are yahoo guys, because I have been in a situation were someone came to me to ask what I'm always doing online with my system instead of going out to look for work and I felt really bad because it was not once. In this digital era I still don't no why people feels there is no way to make money online aside from doing Yahoo without knowing that there are so many opportunities online that could fetch you cool money, I no online are comprises of both Yahoo and non Yahoo guys so I think people should be able to distinguish between them instead of Generailizing them.

Coming back to police, people are always scared of them, because one of the marjor things they do now is to search phone and Apps, if eventually they sees anything money even if is legit or not they don't care, they will tag you Yahoo guy and make sure they extort the money from you.

I just wish to share this because I have seen people talking a lot about every online work being a scam, so please if you have any contribution or opinion the floor is yours.
Furthermore, the police issue has somewhat been resolved since the IG issued a directive to refrain from checking phones; I can only imagine the young people's faces when that happens.
I do not really give in to this hug wash by the Nigeria Police. Their words are never pure and genuine.  Was it not the same IGP that said they have given all officers on high way to instructions to remove road block and stop collecting money from commuters but what is it
we see on the highway today everyday. Almost 10 check point back to back on highways all collecting #100 from commuters even at the front of their police post they do it without any form of remorse. What a shame.
There is never a time I take their words serious because they are all the same from top to bottom all wolf in sheep's clothing.
1530  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A call to order. on: July 21, 2023, 07:29:06 PM
Why are you so interested in the off-topic sub-boad? I've observed you always bring up this agurment everytime we discuss low post quality and spam. Having off-topic sub-boards is a requirement, but it shouldn't take away our ability to address and discuss how to lessen the high amount of spam by this new set of newbies. We were better off without them, and at this pace, I don't care if they all get nuked because all they worry about is politics and their petty daily lives. There is no willingness to learn or ask Bitcoin-related questions.
Some topics indeed are truly spam. I can even point to one or two on the first page.

Having off-topic board is not going to happen for now, that is just the truth. The board we can have for now is politics and society but which I did not come up with enough reason to have it yet. This will give way to off-topic discussion. I like CryptopreneurBrainboss opinion that we can call it 'other discussion'.

Start reading from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5453249.msg62572758#msg62572758

If politics and society discussion board has been created, there would definitely be more off-topic discussion on the main local board. If it does not surpass other discussions, there would be nothing like a request for off-topic (other discussion). Although, it is what I like this forum to achieve. Because more boards more development.

I'd agree with Cryptsafe in that I expected anyone introducing someone to a new area to at least familiarise them with the forum's basic guidelines. We expected them to know the essentials, even though we are here to help and protect them. If you look at at the hangout thread, you'll find that almost all of these newbies were introduced to the forum, while some are merely alts fishing for merit and activity count.
I have introduced people to this forum that did not understand it. I believe you people would have tried that too. Not everyone are the same. I have introduced like two people before that I told them not to plagiarized. They are both graduates. But they plagiarized and got banned. You may introduce someone and the person may understand the forum, but the person may not understand it. Should I be blamed for those that did not understand what they were doing and later got banned? I have addressed this before, I hope people will understand. Because someone failed an exam, that does not mean the teach did not the the person very well. So I still disagree, based on my personal experience.
Even on English boards, people that brought other people are not talked about, they deal with the spammer or low quality posters.
Possibly you must have had the experience but that does not mean you would leave a crying baby to keep crying all day long because if you do,the mother would bear the consequences if the baby falls ill. What am i trying to say, if this continues, it would not be an individual affairs but the whole of the Nigeria local board. So the earlier this is addressed the better for us. This not about leaving them to have their way but rather calling them to order.
1531  Economy / Services / Re: Blockchain developer looking for new projects on: July 21, 2023, 01:32:20 PM
OP it is nice you have this number of years experience in the field. I had to check the sites you presented but it baffles me that those sites seems not clear. The sites looks more suspicious OP and very poor design. you made mention of executing many projects, why not present them if they could be able to make a good presentation for you as the other two website you claimed you designed are nothing fit to convince a prospective client in coming your way. If possible, any reputable member here to vouch for the deal you have had with them in the past can give you a pass for deals.
1532  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Local Nigerians perception on cryptocurrency and online in General on: July 21, 2023, 01:16:32 PM
OP your thoughts are correct. This case is not a strange one anymore as many have conditioned their mindset to assuming that anybody that sits down with laptop for too long is a yahoo boy. People fail to understand that this generation is ICT inclined and as such there are lots of legit activities one can do online to generate funds for themselves. They have no idea what a remote job is all about, they have no idea what it means to have digital skills  and  what they just think is yahoo yahoo which is their perception but we on our own need to apply wisdom on how we do things sometimes. Just as SmartGold01 said, that  should be the resolution if you think explaining yourself is not enough to try convince people on what you do. Better still you go solo make nobody code you.
1533  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wetin bitcoin mixer be on: July 21, 2023, 12:58:33 PM
Mixers are good at mixing transactions and keeping them out of trace. It guarantees your privacy while moving your Bitcoin out from your wallet to another if you do not want your wallet to be monitored by anybody. Your safety is also guaranteed. There are lots of mixers out there which you can try yomix if you want to. It guarantees your privacy as the case may be.
1534  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A call to order. on: July 21, 2023, 12:42:25 PM
I believe OP is seriously concerned about the development of the Nigeria Local board hence this topic was created. Maybe OP noticed most newbies here and their posts most times does not align and in that cause it would be assumed they have no idea and guidelines on how things are done here and there is every possibility that they were unveiled by somebody and it is the duty and responsibility of whomever brought them to be able to guide them and making sure they do things right here when it comes to making posts. Possibly, they might take out time to do the needful after reading this post.
1535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Return Hardware Wallet That Contains 3+ BTC in a Hotel Room? on: July 21, 2023, 12:17:38 PM
I do not know, but in my country there is a reward for obtaining 5% of the value of deposits if you hand them over to the police or return them to their owner, and if these products are illegal, for example money used in money laundering, then that percentage will be given to you after confiscation.
Therefore, if I were in his position, the best is 5% guaranteed with expressions of thanks, rather than wasting my life and my family because of 3 bitcoins that could end me in prison.

Does such law possibly exist because if it does, it will be off great importance because it encourages goodwill and makes people to do right when it comes to finding things that does not belong to them and kindly returning them back to the owner. Sometimes it is good to appreciate people who find missing or stolen item back to the owners because they could have taken it but for the sake of posterity and clear conscience, they returned such item  to the owner. It shows how trustworthy they could be.

 I have had such experience where my money fell out of my pocket unbeknownst to me while highlighting from a bus  a lady right inside the bus while highlighting at the same junction too walking the same direction behind me picked it up and called my attention i turned to her and she handed my money back to me. I was dumbfounded because i had no idea when my money fell out from my pocket.I had to show appreciation but she rejected it and asked me to do same to others if i should ever see such. I was amazed at her kindness and personality.
1536  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Spreading bitcoin awareness; Your personal security matters first on: July 21, 2023, 10:02:05 AM

I don't know where you live right now OP, but in my country owning Bitcoin is not a crime, it's currently legal to own a bitcoin here, as long as you don't use it as a currency.

Wow, I'm shocked your country will not allow you to use bitcoin as a currency, which was the main reason it was founded before all other purposes.  Being used as a store of value is still acceptable, but not being acknowledged as a currency makes its use in your country appear unjust to me.

I think it's to protect the official currency, using anything but the government official currency is illegal here, including foreign currency like USD and EURO, same rules for Bitcoin. We are allowed to keep USD or other foreign currency in our Bank account but if we used it for transaction as currency it's against the law. Probably got jailed, but I don't know there is never any such case.

In  this case, how do we now say that bitcoin is acceptable in your country when it can not be used for transactions? From your explanation, bitcoin is not illegal to be owned by an individual in your country but it is illegal to be used for transaction that means it is not generally accepted rather your local fiat currency is the only recognise ligal currency that can be used for transactions right? I don't mean to doubt you but maybe you will need to explain very well so that myself and other members can understand you better.

Like in my country Nigeria, bitcoin is seen as illegal here but  the government did not ban individuals from making online transactions that's why you see a lot of people doing bitcoin transactions without the interference of government.

I don't really understand what is your question here because I think I was being clear. As I said earlier it is allowed to own Bitcoin you just can not u use it as currency meaning you cannot buy anything using Bitcoin here, it is not allowed to be used as payment tools, you can invest and speculate on Bitcoin just like on Stock but not for currency.

From what OP has said, I think the government of their nation prefers her citizens to own bitcoin and possibly use it as a means of store of value against using it for payment of goods and services and the major reasons why bitcoin was invented was to serve as a means of digital cash payment where people could exchange it for goods and services.

I just believe the government is trying to project their currency over any other thing that could be seen as a source of payment in their country. Some country has such laws governing their financial institutions and their country as a whole. Do it's not new but for the fact that it is legal to be own means that in the nearest future there is the possibility that it would be legal for payment for goods and services.

Where do i use this at ?

From the looks, seems OP has no idea how things works with bitcoin and Crypto in general. For OP to have dropped  wallet address here asking where to use it then it means OP might likely have no one to guide him or her.

I would advise you OP that scammers might likely be sending you messages as you have made this post  as a newbie here but do not give in to them. Never you send your key phrase to anybody for any reason because once sent, it would be used to steal your funds and assets.
Do well to also store your key phrase or better still use hardware wallet to save your funds and assets.
1538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where to invest 7k usdt on: July 21, 2023, 09:06:22 AM
OP, there is a saying that says "do not carry all your eggs in one basket" this parable is still applicable to investment which is of utmost importance.
Looking at your available or spare cash, you can split it up into two use part for Crypto investment and the other for other business depending on the percentage at which the investment funds was split into.

Fir the Crypto, you can see that the Crypto market is very much volatile and no one can really predict the what would happen so it would be nice you conduct your die diligence on projects you deem fit investing. As for bitcoin, the price in currently down compared to the previous all time high so it would be okay giving it a look and holding for a long time would definitely be of great benefits because halving is around the corner and when that happens, the price plummet to a higher one compared to the all time high price amd possibly a new price would be achieved.

While waiting for your bitcoin to appreciate in price value, you can engage in the other wing of your investment which is outside Crypto there you can be doing other activities so as to get in daily returns as it pleases you. I do not know your country only you so you could tell better the best business within your vicinity that can be done to get daily returns as you have planned.
1539  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Seed phrase and passphrase backup on: July 21, 2023, 08:37:43 AM
It is never advisable to store key phrase online as it is always prone to hackers. As long as internet is concerned every device with internet connection is prone to hackers. If sophisticated centralised exchanges could be hacked  then why can key phrase not be able to hack by hackers. It Is better avoided than allowed happened OP.

As for wallets, excessive opening of wallets compound  more key phrase for storage. I believe it would be nice for one  narrow down  the rate at which one uses multiple wallets as I can result to loss of funds and assets in most cases due to misplaced key phrase as a result of mix-ups.
1540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Return Hardware Wallet That Contains 3+ BTC in a Hotel Room? on: July 21, 2023, 07:43:45 AM
A good name is better than being noted for wrong reasons. I prefer writing my name with a golden pen on a golden book for such reason of me being good.

OP I would gladly and happily return it back to whom ever owns it if I know them otherwise I would make a public announcement for anyone coming to claim it to be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt if they are the true owners of the hardware. What belongs to another is not your own and can never be your own. I think it is bad holding back in your possession what belongs to another for greedy reasons.
