I think it won't be a fad the way ICOs are, but I also think that just because a project has an sTO doesn't mean it will attract investment.
Investors, especially the ones looking for STOs, will be wary of all the ICOs that launched in 2017 and 2018, and how they all somehow failed to develop good products that people wanted to use. Well, okay, to be fair there were a few who did ok, but ICOs were generally bad (80% were scams!). STOs may fall down that hole, you never know.

Eos could be a good alternative for this sort of thing. It has lots of active games and betting based Dapps.
No need blaming op for building his stuff on ethereum afterall it is an open blockchain.
I don't think it's really to blame Op for choosing Ethereum, he is just as free to choose EOS like you said but then people will start blaming him for choosing an extremely centralized system where there are only a few arbitrators  I think you can easily go for Waves and Stratis as old platforms, or even NEO which is gaining a lot of traction but only you may face a language disadvantage choosing Neo devs. |

@OP thank you for your very detailed explanation (I didn't quote as it's quite long). I agree with you about 2 things in Bitcoin gambling:
1. Never ask for KYC. If you accept Bitcoin, then accept it. Don't make a fuss about ID later on. If you want to verify people, do it before you let them deposit. Simple.
2. If you close accounts, I agree, it is your right. But never, ever, right to confiscate funds. You can take back winnings, but never people's deposits.
So if the rating for Cloudbet is because of those, then I guess we have to accept it. It is a shame however, it seems very professional.

* I once sold all the coins I got from the bounty but after 1 week experienced a fantastic price increase
* I also hold a coin when I experience a price increase but I keep holding it because I'm sure it will go up (I'm greedy) but after a few hours a dump occurs and I don't realize it
so from there I take lessons if there is an increase in prices and get a better profit selling without having to be greedy person
Then welcome to altcoins market my friend, and if you are a bounty hunter, like I guess most or all of us are, or were at some point, then this is a familiar story. I don't mind saying that in 2017 I did a fair share of bounties myself, until I realized that 99% of my fellow "hunters" were practically shilling and then I realized I looked bad by promoting a shilly project. Gave that up long ago. Now just doing my signature campaign for Bitcoin, and happy to see all of my fellow campaigners are using our project properly and giving quality posts! |

Easy signup, but should make username also valid for claims (instead of only UID) because that's far easier to remember. A little confused though, is this all the same as luckygames and just-dice? I see them at the faucet page but have only claimed BTC so far.
This is on the to-do list. Right now our game + just-dice require a User ID #. Our game will eventually allow usernames, but Just-Dice will always be a User ID #. LuckyGames.co faucet uses usernames though. Also, Monero is spelt wrong So it was... it's fixed now! Thank you very much! If you let me know your user ID on the Rocket game, I'll send you a tip. Thank you SO much for the feedback. We need all the help we can get at this point. You're welcome, as always, for me, we should always welcome all players into the space. Competition is good for us players and gamblers, and if we can choose from 100 casinos in the future, instead of maybe only 10 or so good ones like we have today, the whole industry will improve even more, and that's good for everyone. My user ID: 5176. When can we start investing? |

It's all up to you and your risk appetite. I was just responding earlier in the BitDice thread, because that site has also a lot of crazy gamblers there who drop down huge amounts of BTC on 1 or 2 rolls!
If you intend to make 50% of your bankroll, or double it, to be honest, 1 big roll to get the exact payout is what I'd recommend. Then you succeed or fail in 1 attempt.
If your bankroll is too small anyway, you will usually hit a bad streak long before you hit your profit target, because variance;)

Yeah, guys, I'm just using VPN because I have no choice basically. Of course, in the end I feel better in my company using VPN, cause then it means all our office employees are not watched by the government. But we are watched by our IT guys but we all know them anyway;) But oh wow, 6 BTC in 1 dice throw. Even with super low prices that's 21k USD. The equivalent of 100 months salary min wage in my country! Tell me a normal casino that let's you win that amount in 1 second, lets you prove it's a fair bet, and doesn't give you problems withdrawing! WTG Bitdice!
I remember that crazy guy that made several 10 BTC bets. And at that time BTC was close to ATH. Crazy play that could be actually best possible strategy. Sometimes, if you just want to win, you just have to take the risk. They say it's better to just go all in on 1 big chance to finish your target, rather than to martingale your way and eventually lose. I never gamble what I can't lose anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me, but of course I prefer small bets to enjoy it longer:) |

I'm getting quite a lot of hits lately on LAtoken (the exchange) when surfing on random PRs, even seen a couple of posts on reddit and plenty of mentions on Telegram and Twitter - but almost always for airdrops of ETH tokens and/or KYC type of airdrops. Not seen a major project choose to list at this exchange purely for exchange and trading. Website a bit slow for me too. Anyone else know how long they've been around?

I remember looking up this domain name in the past, glad to see it is reopened and welcome back to the scene! Easy signup, but should make username also valid for claims (instead of only UID) because that's far easier to remember. A little confused though, is this all the same as luckygames and just-dice? I see them at the faucet page but have only claimed BTC so far. Also, Monero is spelt wrong |

Good explanation from masterzino, but just to reassure OP, as long as you have control of your private keys on your Ethereum wallet, you can never lose your tokens, but once you transfer them out to ED smart contract, then you have to wait until order is matched or cancel it.
If your sell order is matched, then you can always withdraw the ETH. Or cancel it, and take back your tokens.

Although I have not read much about both, it seems to me that both are just hyper. We know that anyone with good money can pay for marketing. So I'd rather wait and see what happens
Grin is a legitimate experiment by a long time Bitcoin developer and the theory behind it has been discussed for quite some time in the developer community, so I wouldn't just throw it in the hype bucket and call it a day. That being said, it's distribution is 1 grin per second for eternity, which means it will be 3 years before it drops below 50% inflation--you couldn't spend your money fast enough if that was country's currency, so anyone buying now is probably fighting a losing battle if they expect to cash out on a price increase. I'd wait four or five years before even bothering hodling it. But as far as being useful, it is if you just buy it to spend it for privacy--but of course that adds the cost of volatility, conversion fees, etc, so it's like a really bad implementation of Monero. Absolutely my first thoughts about GRIN right now, and probably right for the next two years at least (though closer to 3 as you say). Buying it now is absolute craziness, especially if Bitcoin will probably recover in the same timeframe, same as Ether or any currency you'd use to buy Grin now. And let's not kid ourselves. No ones buying Grin to use it, not right now anyway. Real privacy users, as you say, are all on Monero. |

Just a question I would like to ask on Cloudbet, because they are sponsoring a pool I am in (English Premier League Bitcointalk pool) so I expected them to be quite high in the rating. But really surprised to see them ranked D. I know trust issues are a thing, so perhaps a lot of bad history with them, but then the same thing can be said for betcoin.ag, yet they are in A.
I don't use either yet, but know both. Sorry for the inconvenience, but why the large gap?

I'm just glad that I recalibrated last Q2 of 2018, sold almost all my crypto and moved to stable coins to protect value. Hodling only works in a bull market. Now I can buy much more of what I sold  I don't know if what I did qualifies for recalibrating but I did do quite a lot of speculative trading in late 2017 and early 2018, and then stopped to wait. I ended up buying up more coins that I was already holding throughout last year, buying at what I thought were really bad dips. They got lower and lower, but to be honest I'm not too worried. I still sit at around 60% of my original entry points in 2017, but compared to 2016 when I first bought most of my major coins, I'm kind of at equal range. Holding works for extremely long term view, at least I hope it does |

Truly decentralized means no server absolutely, so it seems this alone means Kryptium is a bit different from all the other market type betting platform, but my questions remain the same as always, how do you scale when Ethereum is known not to be able to handle everything on chain? Imagine bets getting stuck for days to settle when network is really crowded? I know hard fork is coming but that's not here yet. Why not some other means to settle bets before deposits are released?

Feel terrible for anyone who deposits into a new site or what looks like a good site, and safedice is one of those that looks like a solid one especially as it's been around for 5 years. Is there anything anyone can do about this thread like maybe lock it with a tag that says inactive? I know there's no proof of anything but all the trust remarks should be enough for most people. I doubt the jail issue because this site would have been frozen and seized by courts if so.
Problem is new people not all understand how to find these ANN threads. Let's hope OP comes back and proves us all wrong. In the meantime, keep these notices as an alert to warn people away.

We're all the same here, of course we will try a new sportsbook but come on OP, if you have a deposit bonus, you must surely need to provide us with the full requirements. Is it a wagering minimum? Do you have minimum odds for it? How many times do we have to wager to unlock? One question for me: what's the odds provider and can I just deposit without the bonus if I want to?

Bounties are just bad experiences for me. Except for signature campaigns on this forum where I truly enjoyed the majority of them, either promoting and using the service or even just interacting with fellow signature wearers and managers. I was very lucky to eventually find a product and service I not only use but am very proud of. I think this is the future of bounties. Users who support the product genuinely and actually love it and want it to succeed.

Looks like the user above me is luckier than me. Because I'm on the site and I can't sign up. Site looks like it is loading, I can see some borders and a few lines but there's no way for me to click on anything. Certainly, the site doesn't look like any of the screenshots above. Refreshed a few times. No chat, no nothing, not place to register.
Weird marketing too, asking people to catch a herring with a sprat for "financial freedom"?

So many things have happened since I got back from my crypto break. Price went back to normal after getting a new low. Ethereum hard forks. Even Bitcoin Cash hard forks and then now cryptopia hacked. This isn't the first time it's happened right? And the rumor this time is that it's actually an insider job. When are we going to get tired of centralized exchanges and move to DEX?

1% of the bet, regardless of whether win or lose, cannot be the rule. You said it yourself, coins are taken from losers. So you mean either 1% of losing bets or 1% of house edge, which mean 0.006% of wager amount.
So, OP, which is it? I actually prefer 1% of losing bets. I'd definitely sign up for that. But the casino will lose money in the long run for sure.
