Yes that will be a hot wallet. But I'd cron it to transfer a certain amount out every hour.
There's nothing stopping you from using coinbase either

Even though our game is skill-based, there is an element of chance. Hence, it will be deemed as gambling. Coinbase will not help us because of this.
Building a hot wallet on our server seems like more work than using Blockchain.info's "receive payment API", isn't it? We don't know how popular bitcoin will be with our users. Therefore, it seems that it will be easier to use Blockchain.info first and if it gets traction, then we build the hot wallet. Please do not hesitate to tell me otherwise as I welcome any additional input and appreciate your suggestion of the hot wallet. That is good to know and hopefully, we'll get to the stage where we need it. Thanks.
