BetOnline.ag announces that they have cut third-party vendor Global Gaming Labs (GGL), in favor of Live Dealer Casino third-party vendor Visionary iGaming (ViG) – effective immediately!


Live Dealer casino games allow BetOnline.ag players to engage in a new level of interactive gaming experience with real cards, tables, and dealers — from their preferred device.

After client-side complaints regarding the number of available tables, games offered, lackadaisical dealers, and poor hand reporting became common-place (regarding GGL), BetOnline took on the task of finding a superior Live Casino Vendor.

After a month-long search in early January 2017, it was decided that ViG would offer a superior product for the BetOnline.ag Players.  ViG was notified mid-January, and as of 18 February 2017, the new vendor is in production on BetOnline.ag.  Client feedback has been very positive since the switchover!

Okay, so I think I struck a deal with mBit, albeit not completely happy with it. Not at all.

I owe all of you whom helped a net share of 10% of 1.7 BTC, which I'll allocate (by percentage relative to help) in a later post once I receive my funds.

Big thanks @DarkDays, @joskim299, and @Peeps Place (thanks for offering to help at least... was confident you'd yield some results but I didn't want to wait).

Please post or PM me your BTC addresses and I will payout 170mBTC to all those whom contributed either on here or via PM.

I'd prefer you post your BTC address here publicly and confirm that I have "tipped" you for your help/contribution. This would help me gain trust among this forum - I stand by my word/ethics, so gaining "trust" or even just posting a confirmation that you received "tips" from me would be nice for the future.

So yes, I do tip out for decent help. I don't understand why mBit (besides obvious financial gain) would not take me at face value, but hopefully the rest of you guys believe me when I said I stood by my word and morality.

Trying to catch up a bit, but does this leave 2 sportsbooks? Nitrogen and BitcoinRush?

One of which (BitcoinRush) no one outside of Peep on this forum even recommends? We handled over ~28,000 btc in bets (not a lot compared to the kings like Nitrogen, but still worth mentioning).

Did not find anything about Chico Poker Network, but Global Gaming Labs

Yes, because they are the contract partner with the player. But the victims can also sue the provider who committed the criminal offense.


Where is proof that BetOnine used Ezugi?

Peeps Place claims that the Chico Poker Network was the Blackjack live dealer provider.

Source?

From what I have seen, that isn't always the solution for new people. For sites like Nitrogensports, despite being provably fair there is a speculation that they set the initial seeds as such that it makes the dealer win more number of times. And since most of the people, new to gambling or on nitrogen, usually don't change their initial seeds, their bets later verify after they have lost a lot of hands.

What is the name of BetOnline's Blackjack live dealer provider?

I’ve already written several blog posts about Alexa and how notoriously bad its statistics are. Not really surprising that they are bad if you know how the data for those statistics is gathered. For the bulk of their data Alexa relies on people installing the Alexa Toolbar (or a toolbar that passes information to Alexa). It’s this toolbar that monitors to which websites you go and how you end up on them.

This has as a result that demographic, used browsers, and even the country visitors are from influence the data that Alexa gathers about a website. This can introduce serious artefacts and biases into the collected data and basically makes the statistics generated from it worthless. At best it can give you an idea about how well a website is doing, but that doesn’t mean that what you’re seeing matches reality. I’ve already written a far more detailed blog post about how Alexa works and why you never should rely on the data it provides; it’s just too unreliable.

The best illustration I have about how unreliable Alexa’s statistics are is from when I compared HotWhopper and Real Sceptic. According to Alexa I had a higher ranking than HotWhopper and  HotWhopper’s Alexa ranking was dropping noticeably. But HotWhopper had fourteen times the number of pageviews and had nine times more visitors than Real Sceptic. What made it even worse was that HotWhopper’s pageviews and visitors were increasing. Statistics from direct measurements told a very different story than the one Alexa was telling.

It also made me wonder if it was possible to influence Alexa ranking/statistics. As Alexa does mention on their website that there are some other sources for the data they gather. Turns out this is surprisingly easy to do.

Your A- rated betcoin.ag sportsbook is recently in free fall on Alexa Global Rank: 163,185 - 55,576 = 51% down within 2 months!

So it might be dangerous to bet there...

- Betcoin.ag Alexa ranks: Global Rank:  163,185 - 55,576 = 51% down   Rank in US: 66,962  

- NitrogenSports Alexa ranks: Global Rank: 51,627 + 12,032 = 20% up   Rank in US: 12,591

Thank you for the info.
