I actually agree with most analysis saying that it's a good time to buy now. We've been hovering around and above 1000 dollars for quite some time now and the situation is different from last time prices have been that high.

For me personally, it's a pretty comfortable BUY at this point.

Oh, I've seen a couple of bundles lately that didn't have Bitcoin payments.
It's also a real pain that you can't buy anything with Bitcoin in their store. Seems like a pretty half assed way to 'support' Bitcoin payments.

I'm hoping that they will expand their Bitcoin support to the whole website and folllow suit with Steam.

There are a lot of things that you can't do in starcraft 1, talking about general unit management, it's a real pain in the ass.
I like classic games like SC1, but imo, they've really improved it with SC2 :p You just have to stop living in the past (j/k)

Yeah provably fair would be nice, but it's not a deal breaker for most people.
Most of those commercial slot games can't even be provably fair.

OP, even though you're a newbie account, your site looks very good and I'm glad you've implemented anonymous accounts.
I wish you good luck with your casino8

I'm certainly not opposed to the idea, but if I'm being honest, I think it's just going to be very hard to pull off.
Same reasons as Kakmakr states, similar providers are already having a very hard time due to constant bombardments with DDOS attacks while barely making a profit.

If you're in it for idealistic motives, I'd definitely say go ahead with it, breaking even is certainly possible! Just know that it might not be very profitable and it's a huge amount of work that you're going to have to put into it.

Huh, have you even read the same article as me? Where do they specifically state that virtual currencies promote ponzi schemes?
I don't even think that it's implied in that article...

I'd go even further and say that they recognize Bitcoin as a legitimate currency and they're just warning people of scammers that use it, without sounding too negative about the currency itself.

Pretty crazy to see that we're in 19th place, I remember they were still relatively unpopular little more than a years ago.
I especially remember a conversation in the chat on the website that they were going for organic growth, meaning that they didn't go for any real advertising, except for the sig campaign of course.

Good to see that it has all paid off

I've already mentioned this in another thread earlier today, but I started gambling when I was around 16 years old.
I was just buying scratch tickets in a newspaper shop, it wasn't really frowned upon at that age, even though the legal age for gambling (and buying those tickets) was officially 18.

Can't say that that has affected me in any negative way, not addicted and I don't spend more than I can miss

They do give a passive income, you just have to invest a lot to make any significant kind of profit.
You're not going to get any income worth while when you invest less than 1 BTC.

But if you invest like 10 or 20 BTC, you'll see a really nice passive income if you leave it there for a longer period of time, that's the definition of passive income

Like Adzino has said on the first or second page of this thread, Crypto-Games is very transparent with their statistics, you can basically calculate how much you will make in the long term.

And something that a lot of people don't take into account:
Crypto-Games has a maximum win on dice games, meaning that that chances of losing your entire investment are next to non-existent.

Yeah I would also like to buy Starcraft 2 using Bitcoin, but as far as I know, it's not possible to buy Blizzard games with Bitcoin.
It might be a good time to send them some e-mails about that, maybe some community oriented effort?

If you're running a full node, you're basically just giving away your resources right now.
I think there should indeed be some sort of incentive for full nodes, but that just isn't the case.

Back in 2015, Bitnodes was giving out some incentive to people running a full node though:

First time I've seen something like this, pretty cool! The technology behind it isn't too hard to recreate though, but licensing games might be the real pain in the ass. (Imagine an arcade machine with like 100 games to choose from ^^)

Now, if only someone could commercialize something like this, we could have these all over the world
They might not be the best profit makers, but certain hobbyists would certainly want to place these somewhere.. 

I think I started gambling when I was around 16 years old, buying scratch tickets in the local newspaper shops.
Probably not very legal, but it was socially accepted here.

I gambled a bit more when I was introduced to Bitcoin, since I had never used dice sites and I always thought that that was a pretty fun way of gambling.

It's easy to think that if you only play for fun that you can't get addicted, but the reality is that addiction can creep up on you and you won't even realise at first that you're getting addicted.

This in my opinion has a lot to do with the personality of the player, meaning that some people are just more prone to getting addicted than others.

My advice to anyone is, just be careful and honest with yourself. It's very hard to beat gambling addiction and it's always better if you recognise it earlier, rather than later.

I don't know if that's really the reason.
A lot of countries have their own state controlled version of gambling, usually in the form of a national lottery.

It's just good business for them to ban all other forms of gambling unless these providers pay the government some kind of fee.

Here in Belgium a lot of online gambling sites are actually DNS blocked by the internet providers.

Already said this a couple of times, but for me it's definitely Crypto-Games.
Just the overall GUI of the website and the fact that they're pretty transparant about everything makes it my favourite casino.

Bitcoinvideocasino is a close second because of the big progressive jackpots on every game.

Steam itself is a pretty good service, they've been around since forever and if you have your mind set on a particular game, than it's no problem to use their service.

I'm saying that because I would stay away from games that are still in alpha or beta stages, unless they have very good reviews already.
You can get refunds, but I'm not sure if you can get a refund in Bitcoin. If someone knows if it's possible, please share

It's pretty likely that segwit will be implemented in Litecoin before bitcoin, the threshold for Bitcoin is 95%, while the treshold for Litecoin is only 75%

Litecoin isn't going anywhere, prices of altcoins rise and fall, Litecoin has been around forever and its development has slacked more in the past than now.
It will survive.

Bitcoin is an excellent store of value in the long term, but it isn't really better than just saving money in the old fashioned way.
Some people are just better savers than other people and I don't think it matters if they use Bitcoin for savings or a regular bank account.

Also, how can you get financial troubles if you're saving?

I would like to say that I'm totally not superstitious when gambling, but when I think about it, I do play the same numbers when playing roulette.
I always bet on these numbers: 5, 7, 14, 27 and 32
