I suggest you to buy a safe gambling script, and have a second person to check that script to make sure there are no backdoors and glitches.

There are some good open source scripts on github that you can use, perhaps offer some one a bounty to get it installed and working properly.

You need to choose a hosting plan from a company, preferbly a vps with linux/mysql/php. Then have someone to develop the game/gambling scrypt for you.

Do you know how to code? If not you need a lot of money. I think to successfully jump start a gambling site you needs at least 10 btc for hosting/ddos protection, programmer, testing and marketing.

If you don't have both. How could you secured the money of the players. How could the players trust your site?

The starter has only 1 GB Storage if many plays this will be full within a month and the 20 GB Bandwidth is not enough. You need a decent vps to run a gambling site. You also need to run a daemon.

I think you should try this site but I haven't tried this personally use this site with caution. gamblingbuilder.com

Buying a gambling script might not be of much help, because he will still need help in building and developing the game.

[Watoshi-Dimobuto]

the concept is completely different. there is no bankroll or anything. and this is not a casino or dice site.
there is no script currently available for it.

How so? There are ready to use gambling scripts for sale, and not expensive at all.

And I'm sure the people will help with installing everything as well.

Perhaps an idea to tell us what kind of game you are looking for ?

Without a bankroll it will be difficult, but you can start with a very low budget.

To build a site where you do bitcoin business, be it gambling or anything else, you need the following:

- SSL Certificate to keep communication safe (gives https in address window - and communication between visitor and site is encrypted). This means password and other sensitive information does not fall in the wrong hands.
- If you plan on taking bitcoin deposits you must either run a node or have somebody run it for you, maybe some 3rd party exist that already have the infrastructure for it. Security here's very important, and you should not run the node on the same machine as your web-site. This is a bit complicated, unless you have experience doing it. Deposits and withdrawals needs to be automated preferably.
- You must run a web-server, nginx could be a better choice than apache if you plan on getting a lot of traffic.
- For hosting, a VPS or a dedicated server is your best bet.
- The game itself could be customized from an available source - if license permits - made from the ground up by you, or developed by some developer you pay to do the job. If you don't have coding skills, you need to get somebody to do it for you.
- Once everything is up and running you need to do marketing. This could be done on reddit, this forum and on other social media.

The user goes to the website and sends an amount to an address.
How do i change text from "awaiting receipt" to "a random number" as soon as the amount is received?

is it possible to do it? with pure html?

[Cryptowatch.com]

The user goes to the website and sends an amount to an address.

That sound simple. In reality there are several steps required here. First, the user needs to get an address displayed for him. Then it's a question about how this address is generated. For instance it's possible to generate thousands of addresses offline, and then load these to the database on the site, and then dynamically assign them to deposit requests. Ideally every deposit should have a different deposit address. Then, when an address is assigned to a user account, that selection needs to be stored in the database.

In addition, there must be a method whereby the site is notified once the address in question receives a deposit, and once the deposit is received, it must be credited the users account in your site. After this you might do additional actions like giving the user a random number or anything else.

How do i change text from "awaiting receipt" to "a random number" as soon as the amount is received?

I'm not trying to discourage you, but it seems you're a bit over your head here with this project. Personally, I think the very best thing you could do is to carefully plan and describe what your game will do, ie. a specification of all its features, and then when that's done, work with somebody that has the knowhow to code and setup the site. I would think it's hard to find anyone to do it for free, so you probably have to pay for this.

If you really think the idea is a good one, and think it will be an attractive site for gamblers, then I would suggest waiting for a month or a bit more when your sig pays you. Getting it upto 0.5 BTC and offering it to developer to develop and site, and accept a percentage of the winnings.
But you also mentioned something about you requiring no bankroll for it, then how is the site a gambling site? A person might win wouldn't he?
And if he does, then you will certainly need a bankroll for that.

can  anyone think of a way in which i can inform the players their ticket number, without paying 0.0001 tx fee?

i tried to put an ad in the site.
i took the html app in the editor and put in
<iframe data-aa='44994' src='//ad.a-ads.com/44994?size=468x60' scrolling='no' style='width:468px; height:60px; border:0px; padding:0;overflow:hidden' allowtransparency='true'></iframe>

Nothing shows up. But if you right click on the location, you get view frame source and stuff.

i put it under: PLEASE USE ONLY WALLETS THAT ALLOW YOU TO RECEIVE BITCOINS FROM THE SAME ADDRESS THAT YOU SEND. EX: BLOCKCHAIN WALLET

why doesn't it work?

[AviThour]

I can set it up for you for some reward.
