Nung mga nakaraan, I've been reading from time to time to the forum as a form of news and discussion (my reddit substitute). Since I only browse here, ayokong mabulok lang yung sMerit that I've allocated before so I'll be giving it away... but with a twist  

Reply here what is your biggest achievement this 2023 and what you wish this Christmas. Malay nyo, someone here in the forum read it and will grant it (so don't make it too impracticable ). Crypto (something na naipundar nyo out of it this year) or even non-crypto related.

For me, my biggest achievement is to earn with UI/UX (thanks figma lol) and buy myself gadgets na never kong nareceive nabili when I was a kid. Crypto-wise naman, I've been onto a web3 dev startup and we've all been active in web3 real-life events locally, engaged to various angel investors and community, and learned a lot from those experiences. Masasabi ko na this forum is just a small portion on how huge the web3 community in real life already is -- kasi I've thought before na onti lang ang web3 peeps sa pinas. But I've learned na PH still have a lot to grow in web3 space, especially to the mass adoption and better knowledge (marami paring nagiinvest just because of FOMO or web3 games w/o any knowledge on how it works).

My wish naman this Christmas is to have more web3 UI/UX opportunities by 2024 para makabili naman ng iphone 15 pro HAHAHAHHA. Kidding aside, I'd be delighted to engage to the BTT community again.

So yeah, let us all hear what you have in mind. I'll be meriting those that has some sense syempre so we wouldn't be too generous sa mga answers like ("merry christmas sa lahat happy new yir"). ma-Effort and a good read is always merited more ofcourse  

Just saw this post ngayon lang. For so many months na nagbabrowse lang ako dito (dahil may work), just this Christmas eve ko lang nabalikan tong local ahaha. Glad this initiative is still on and active. Will give more merits out from time to time 

You had the most valid reason at first on why they kept holding withdrawals (despite Royse already mentioned that they kept on imrpoving such system). But then you said the worse suggestions for strict rules. Having abusers can already be solved just with that manual withdrawal checking (since they are not stake that has huge traffic) or just simply don't create abusable promotions. Verification like those are already way too far for the others gamblers. Even I can have KYC and still have multiple accounts. Tightening wager requirements? Are you dumb? You just said that they should be resolving withdrawal issues but then you suggest that they should do things to prevent users to withdraw. I don't really see your general idea on what they should do. Maybe your suggestion is way better than their collective ideas and experience?

I don't see the necessity of your post... doesn't even adds up any help to the issue and was already said by the others.

---

Nevertheless, issues indicated by the OP are already silenced and settled. I don't see any problems with having a withdrawal taken and assured manually especially for a newly made website that is being built from scratch. You cannot just create a whole big ass gambling platform then release it and expect no issues, regardless of how big your system is, issues will still arise. Baby steps are the ones they are making. All of the gambling platforms we have in this forum as of the moment also had their issues back in the day. And so how they start their withdrawals. Payment system in crypto isn't also that well way back from 2013-2017, notably to new crypto gambling websites.

Also, I don't see the patience nor the knowledge of those gamblers that expects a new gambling website (only published in about 3 months and had to change providers and devs) to be as good as Stake, Roobet, etc. I'd rather not accept if one week they haven't had any online supports. Speaking of supports, man do you think supports are the owners? I don't see how a support can settle an issue specially about withdrawal. Do you think their supports can give you money without the permission of the CEO or any admins? Tighten your nuts and bolts, they are loosing..

To all who've replied, I am thankful to the responses. I took everything you guys said and starting to analyze how their UI/UX caught ya'll liking. Took a screenshot of their designs as well to help my progress. But I hope the discussion remains flowing and focused only on their designs and how you felt about it.

I really appreciate those who said they liked platforms because its simplicity and you prefer the game they focused (such as sportsbet and primedice). But I want to clear out that my goal is to at least create the best UI/UX of platform out of your guys' opinion. Yes, some old and themed platforms are good, but if a casino offers all of the games, then something can be better (or even best)

Meanwhile, Rollbit Roobet Duelbits Stake are the most common and popular casinos that offers all games and with a great UI/UX. But I know that there can be a conglomeration of all of those platforms as they all have flaws and not everyone liked those either.

Hello guys! I just want to ask what gambling platform has the best UI (User Interface) and UX (user experience).
Can you guys also give me at least your top three gambling platforms and why their UI/UX is something that you liked? I'm doing this as a research to enhance my skills in creating UI / UX.

As for some people's reference, here's a list of current gambling platforms that has an ann thread in the forum:

No.	Website
1	Primedice.com
2	Freebitco.in
3	Sportsbet.io
4	Stake.com
5	Fortunejack.com
6	Cloudbet.com
7	Bitsler.com
8	Crypto.games

17	Betnomi.com
18	Blackjack.fun
19	Winz.io
20	Owl.games
21	Bitlucy.com

You  are insane if you think that you could manage all of them by yourself. If you are a developer, either focus on developing or be a manager by yourself. Yes you could do tokens and casinos and trading platforms, but all of those requires focus to have the best outcome. If all of those would be connected with each other, maybe focus on a little field such as have a token that could be used on a small casino (offers little games) and is tradable as well in your trading platform. Don't make a huge step instantly, take a little babystep towards all of those fields and focus on small progress one at a time.

Lol you just crucially slaughtered him there  As far as I can tell, Bitlucy are doing their very best to keep their promises despite all the allegations thrown at them. I've never heard a real testimony of a scam with a real proof, all of the negative accusations came from newbies and those that sees the Bonuses they had as something 'they own' which obviously is never something they worked hard and invested. So far, Bitlucy's soft launch provided a new visual, which concludes how the team were really desperate to make changes and provide a quality gambling experience they promised.

I play with this website and I'll tell you this, I've won more than I lost on this website.

Updated and still hopes for a spot  

I think it's not really their fault on users misleading what a "mascot" is. I guess they clearly said it in the main post and since this is their 2nd contest, I don't think even such logos would have a chance unless its a 'logo' contest. But then again, goodluck!

Just yesterday, I've seen Slottie asked what casinos are trusted. Such topics are often answered by subjective criticisms which varies from different types of gamblers and their preferences on what platforms to use or even the games they play/gamble on. Even I myself still have no idea whom and which to trust yet still plays on various platforms nonetheless. But for a beginner's POV, trust is their first and most important requirement before entering the gambling space. Whilst on those that have experiences in gambling, trust isn't something to value but rather than what the platform offers and how it would satisfy the gambler's emotions.

Meanwhile, gambling review websites were considered by some to be shady and more untrusted. So what factors should we really consider that is a valid trust?

Well, trust is indeed a subjective factor. But then something can also be trusted if met some certain levels. I've considered three main aspects a forum user can look if a gambling platform should be trusted.

• 1. Forum Engagements -- When a user viewed and replied to an Announcement by a gambling platform, it is considered to be an engagement. What makes the replies and views more valid is if it were still continues regardless of how long it were made. There can be more ways to analyze a thread's engagements but I'll focus on what's obvious. It is computed with the following formula (based on this article):
  
  Code:

  Engagement % = (Replies / Views) * 100

  NOTE: Some platforms can still be trusted despite having low engagements. Some uses their ANN threads to just be announcements and not bombarded with replies that just spams their news.

• 2. Forum Trust Scores -- We always treats the Forum Trust Scores to be a factor whether a user is to be trusted online (mostly in transactions) or not. Trust Ratings were often used as the primary merit system before the Merit system itself where users can leave a permanent merit on an account that isn't just a number but rather a review. Hence, Trust Scores of those Gambling Representative can also be considered whether to trust a platform or not. Why? Once there would be a problem, most people would just bombard such representative with negative trusts, leaving that acc untrusted (obviously).
  
  NOTE: Red tags never means a red flag, some users tend to leave it red regardless if the representative and the platform he represents already resolved the problem.

• 3. Web Traffic -- The power of analytics. Web analytics is always a way to prove one's legitimacy and trustworthy-ness as such numbers can mean your platform is popular and always visited or just a lowkey platform. Some platforms doesn't have analytics due to some circumstances but when their players where solid and doesn't leave it, it still counts to trusted nonetheless.
  
  NOTE: The data is only based off on Similarweb's data. AFAIK They are using Google Analytics but they don't parse data if the website is <5K visitors in previous month. But having less visitors never means a red flag. Less visitors can still be trusted if those platforms have low yet regular players. Remember, a QUALITY customer / player is more valid than the QUANTITY.

  EXPLANATION
  In forum engagements, people still replies even on old threads of platforms, hence proving the platform's strength in terms of their forum users / players. But there are also platforms that have high engagements yet new, meaning that you can have less views yet active discussions from the users (as also proved by the number of unique users). Meanwhile, if you would look at the trust scores of the representative, it is common that new platforms doesn't always have green trust scores yet have an outstanding engagement whilst some already managed to gain both trust and engagement -- a successful marketing so to say. Lastly, web traffic is a different aspect to be considered to trust a platform. Some might have little traffic but still operates with regular players.
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Regardless of the data indicated above, people will still use a platform nonetheless whether its new or old. New platforms often offers better UI/UX and faster games while OLD platforms never stays to be old hence goes with the innovation on gambling websites both UI/UX. Therefore what to trust? Its up to you whether you trust the data extracted from the posts/traffics/the trust of the people, or you trust based on subjective reviews. Either way,  you still considered one gamblers' POV nonetheless. Just depends on how strong such POV is when compared to the community engagements, trusts, and the platform's popularity. My personal opinion? Never fear to try new. But if you still fear to be scammed, wait for others' take. Follow the ann threads of the platforms you have interests, then inspect each reviews and feedbacks carefully. With that, you can establish your trust as the platform establishes your trusts to them as well.
  
  RECOMMENDATION
  One best way to prove if a platform is good or not, is to have a Sentiment Analysis. It can decrypt if a thread (as most crypto platforms tends to have a forum thread for a better community support) if it has great feedbacks compared to negative reviews. But making a Sentiment Analysis requires tons of time coding plus the fact that some words used in the forums are jargons and some were uncommon. It might require money for the one who will make it since it is hard to do BUT it will be a great data for such subjective topics like this.

  been lowkey browsing gambling platforms whilst being a gambler myself. I just enjoyed playing recently but now I seemed to have fun engaging again with the community 

it's still BTC despite the network being different. Altcoins are those that aren't BTC such as ETH, XRP, USDT, etc. BTC, on the other hand, still is a BTC regardless of the network it will be received/sent to.

Updated everything. Just had 6 merits but I hope I still can join the campaign nonetheless. Thanks royse!!

This is what I was confused as well. This is the first time that an art contest requires specific artwork such as the indicated MASCOT ART hence some were confused that they will make something out of the chosen MASCOT -- Cheetah. Maybe the context based idea they had at first time looking and reading was that the team were looking for an art for a cheetah WHICH is your mascot -- your representing animal. Glad the team cleared this out before the contest were at its near end.

It's not really necessary whether to follow the launch date or the idea date, it will still be valid nonetheless. We might not know whether they already tested it in a local IP since 2019 and just registered 2021 OR launched with another domain from 2019 and just registered a commercial one on 2021.

Welcome, Bitlucy! I see your team even Royse are so engaging towards the community with an active 24/7 support. I'm looking forward on more engagements and hopefully be a casual player on your website! Good luck on your journey! Still have so many things to improve at tho.

This better belongs to Altcoin Discussion as this never talks anything about Gambling. Gaming is way different in Gambling bro, and so was the NFTs. (T in NFT is literally TOKEN). Also, do you consider this forum to be a valid source of your reviews with regards to blockchain gaming community? I mean theres already threads with the games you've featured in your platform and using Discord and Twitter to be your main 'communities' is good but also it can be better if the Forum people are taken into consideration with your future blogs like quoting certain topics and replies in here.

This isn't a 'possibility' but rather a reality that the OP and amoonaser is the same person. I don't know if anyone would even dare buy it given the fact it only has an appealing interface with no further use at all. Bgame.io also redirects or can be a mirror to the playcrash.com website, or just a domain waiting to expire (bgame is still live but with no response from the database as the games and chat keeps loading). Even upon visiting the platform playcrash, it never shows their license from any e-gambling license companies nor any links to prove their legitimacy. There's no such platform that has all the similarities even the context on their about us page that were legit yet 'sold'. Buying a website is having the opportunity to change things up, unless he's too dumb to care about its image.

And lastly, who the fck even uses Disney's font in their platform...
