1  Economy / Gambling / Re: Article: Australian gamblers lose a record $24b in a year on: December 08, 2017, 10:00:49 AM
This year Australia made external online gambling sites virtually illegal, so chances are these stats are from the reporting (ie. legal) gambling operators prior to the "shutdown".  I'm sure the actual numbers were far larger.

Stunna, the owner of PrimeDice, seems to be an Aussie, if I'm not mistaken. Thus it shouldn't surprise anyone that gambling is rampant in those quarters, and that the Australian government obviously doesn't quite like it. Making online gambling sites illegal most likely won't change a thing, though. These sites will just move elsewhere.

Ah yeah it's not really that "illegal" gambling sites targeting Aussies can't still do it, it's just that they aren't supposed to.

3  Economy / Gambling / Re: Established Bitcoin Dice Site with over 475 Bitcoin Wagered Possible ICO on: October 10, 2017, 01:24:24 PM
475 BTC is _NOTHING_ for total wagered.  House EV would be 4.75BTC at 1% -- that's nothing.

What matters to your value is how many BTC you did last week and last month, not ever. 

Take investors, grow your reputation and your gaming turnover and then consider things like ICO (if you really want to).

Wow, must have had some big players in the past 24 hours, back to ~100% RTP from 112% and a 5BTC profit.

Really nice site!  I played a little bit with the faucet yesterday and today.  Clean design, fast to load and smooth to navigate.  It's obviously a bit different than traditional dice sites and I like it.

I think you should add a basic auto-betting interface though.  Yes I realize the script editor can do that and more but I think it's good to let non-programmers auto-bet through an interface.

Overall it's nice to see something different with solid reputations backing it.

Trick question.

The correct answer is limited to whichever ones don't shave the numbers or untag players.  Business relationships aren't trustless.

Site is down for me right now. Anyone else?

Yeah here as well.  Might be under DDOS since it looks like their servers are connecting and alive but too slow to be usable.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BetKing.io ICO - Bitcoin Gambling website on: December 01, 2016, 09:30:19 AM
I've been lurking Dean / betking.io's threads for a long time now.  He had 6k BTC / 4.5M USD of other peoples money he could have easily walked off with and did not.  In addition, this guy has his actual real name on the business, this is not some anonymous enterprise.

If you invest in this business, you invest in Dean himself for what he has accomplished and what he might accomplish.  No escrow necessary.

My questions for BetKing:

1) You don't take UK players, but do you have corporate tax liability in UK with earnings in BTC?  (I'm not aware how UK treats BTC capital growth)

2) Any plans to get a Curacao or Malta gambling license for 3rd party games in the future?

3) Any concerns about "snoopers charter" in the UK?  Are you hosted there?
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: June 23, 2016, 07:11:02 AM
+1.35 @ blackjack
-0.01 @ dice
never turned faucet money into anything at plinko/etc games.

Looooove the blackjack.

Cool site.  Think you have a bug in your betterbets query though, it shows ~$550B in bets this week which I'm guessing is slightly off Smiley
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your biggest loss gambling? on: June 03, 2016, 12:34:07 PM
In the old days (long time ago) lost ~2BTC in today's exchange rate, around 4BTC over the course of 3 days -- that put me off gambling for a while.

Haven't lost more than 0.1BTC recently.
12  Economy / Gambling / Re: Breaking: Shuffle-based Provably Fair Implementations Can Cheat Players (proof) on: June 02, 2016, 07:36:06 AM
Potential solution is to let the user "cut" the randomized set to determine the starting place.

Might be a bit of a UI nightmare, but fair none the less.

don't think a cut will help but a reshuffle could help as in real life Smiley

I think either works tbh.

the cut is never enough believe me Smiley and even with a reshuffle the player needs to be sure that the decks are exactly as they should be and no cards taken out or added


For multi-draw results I see your point.

15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thoughts? Is bitcoin dice overrated / overused? on: June 01, 2016, 08:29:13 PM
Clearly there are tonnes of dice sites out there today, but outside of the top 5 or so there aren't many bets in the "long tail" of them.  Takes a lot of promotion to make a successful site these days, not so dissimilar to the online casinos world really.

Will be interesting to see the next major innovation in rapid-play variable odds games of this sort.
