Start a Gambling Site

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Is it still profitable to start a gambling site? Or is the market already saturated?
What do you think is the most profitable gambling site to create?

I kind of wish I knew about bitcoin in the early days, around 2010 etc. I think a casino or sports betting site would have been the best kind of thing to invest in bitcoin wise.

There are too many established & reputable ones around now though so I wouldn't start one now.

Market is never too saturated for creativity and some skills ! Even though most of the promoters around are into gambling or betting sites you can always out run them in the long run by creating something which is not there ! Start a gambling site  maybe with free option to play or better games to play ,overall a good user experience.If once players get hooked up to it, you will have your bacon! The idea is to make something which has not become  a cliche !

What if I truly believe I've got the creativity and have a brilliant idea for a new gambling game/site, but don't have the skills to code nor the legal standing to host one since I'm in the US?  I really believe the game I have in mind will be a big hit.  If any one knows any body who would like to start a partnership to create the "next big thing" for online gambling, please respond to me, or shoot me a PM.  I would love for someone to jump aboard and help create it, if they are in a jurisdiction that allows them to make online gambling site; and in return I will do all campaigning and marketing of the game.

I've also got some spare funds to fund the creation of the site, but with this game you don't need a bank roll to start out (No it's not a ponzi).

You're at the right place then! There are lot of experience programmers and web developers available here to code! In fact, there are other investors who can invest with you if they sense strategy in your business model.As far as US government issues are concerned on a gambling site, I suggest you to take advice from the other gambling site owners here .

Have you already made all the business stuff that the business people tell you to do before you open a business?

Like: what will be your public target, how much setup and maintain the site will cost, etc

Who would you suggest I contact? Do you know any of the gambling site owners, or developers here?  I don't really want to pay someone just to code it for me, because I still run into the problem of being faced legal issues with trying to find hosting; and personally, I don't want my door kicked in because I'm running some game online... I'd like to run a partnership.

If anyone on here is browsing this and knows a gambling site owner, or is one... please respond on here or shoot me a PM.  It's sports related, and I'm confident no one has done this ever... it's not daily fantasy, or anything of the sort... completely new idea and concept.

Public target will be sports fans that are getting tired of placing bets against the "line"... I'll give more details to a person that runs a gambling website already, or wants to create one that's in the right jurisdiction to be able to host it. 

I was looking at VPS's and they look like there's one in switzerland that looks pretty good and basically costs ~ $6 a month... with the estimated profits the site will create, and buzz it will cause in the bitcoin and altcoin community, it will definitely be worth it.

Not that im against and social and forum help,
but why dont you hire a consultant to escort you thru the process ?

I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to find a consultant for this kind of endeavor... most people still haven't really heard or paid attention to cryptos, so I feel that they wouldn't want to help me out because they feel it would be pointless.

id imagine you would need a giant capital to start with or some investors however thats unlikely since rarely anyone invests in new sites.

In this case I really wouldn't because it would be a PvP site that combines things in a pool for a big reward to the winner. That's all I'll really say, but the site wouldn't need a backup "bank" of investments if there are big winners, because players set the price points, in the game I have in mind.

I think it's all about marketing. Of course you can try to offer something different, but that will be very hard, and to be honest I don't think people care that much about what they are playing. I mean look a dice, I play it, but there is nothing really funny about that, except for the risk of winning or losing something. Also you can't really lower the edge to much or you won't be able to profit.

So I think it's all about marketing capabilities. Either you bring traffic to your site or you don't.

Nope I dont agree on that. May be part of it is about the marketing thing but for me personally I play at dice it depends on their chat, if there are active players and admin to chat it will be fun, any gambling site is all the same, sometimes people are gambling alone yeah it is no fun but if you can share strategy and chatting I guess that would be fun to play dice

Go to services tab. You can hire someone with a good skills there, there are so many people want to find this jobs. If you never try how can you even know that your site will be played or not? Thats why you need big amount of fund to open a new site and make some promotions and giveaways

I think there is always room for new gambling site and the market will never be full. so anybody with a new idea can start in this market and still be successful.

but keep in mind that doing what a lot of other are doing is not a good idea. just look at this section, every day there is a new dice site is created and vanishes after a while. the reason is that they don't have any plan or new idea, they just copy a 1000 times used script and change a couple of things in it.

but if you have a new idea, and you can make it interesting. there is always room for it in this market.

Friend of mine and I thought starting a site was a good idea. Don't let this forum fool you there are less than 10k actual players and hundreds of sites. The forums make you think there's tons of ppl playing when in fact it's 85% or more just here to earn money with signature campaigns. If current trend keeps up there will be more sites than players so keep this in mind and don't let appearances fool you. Maybe 5 years if fiat players switch to bitcoin then sure right now...hell no.

It is always profitable to start a new gambling site, why? Short answer is:Because it is profitable business.
But you need to answer some questions first:

1. Do you have money for this startup? Or you just want to copy old dice scripts?
2. Do you want to create something unique or copy good ideas of others?
3. Do you want to hit some gambling niche never explored before?
4. Do you think you can bring something new to the table?

ofcourse gambling sites is always profitable to its owner.
especially when you attract more gamblers.

Well I do have some funds to maybe do a couple free giveaway buy ins for users, and maybe start a new sig campaign, but that's why I want to go in on a partnership with someone already in the gambling business or knows how to code and host a website legally. I feel if someone can be a full time dev and I'll work in terms of marketing full time then it would be beneficial for both of us. I just don't know where to start, because I've tried starting something in project development and I feel that I might need to try services, but in that area it seems those guys are just looking for freelance work, rather than a partnership...

But idk how to go about trusting that a person won't just run away with my idea when I tell them because it is so simple and probably a more profitable site than running a sports casino that uses spreads to create some kind of house edge. My idea doesn't need an edge and guarantees to make profit off every game... Not much, but still it's gaurenteed. Plus the payouts for winners would be extremely high and worth the gamble if they can part away with some extra btc.

Ok, so I know this is an old thread.. but asks the questions that's been on my mind for a good while.  What if we think we have a really good idea for a new gambling game, but are stuck behind the legalities of not being able to create one because I live in the US?  Is there any way to legally go about making this website?

I'm not quite sure what the legalities are with creating/hosting a gambling website in the US, but I'm pretty certain that it's not good.  I would maybe try to find someone to host it for you? But then again, I'm not quite so sure about this stuff, and personally wouldn't want government busting down my door for creating some game I put up on the internet lol.

i believe its a legal gray area at this point, and no legal action is being taken against it. what primedice did some time ago barring US players from playing was a precaution more than anything. as for legalities, you could simply host the site in a server based in another country if you want to be absolutely careful.

But if I were to buy a VPS to host it on, would there be any chance of it coming to bite me/us in the ass? Like once it's on a server in, let's say Switzerland, the U.S. Government wouldn't be able to kick down our door, right?

I believe not, as long as the content on the server is not illegal in Switzerland, but I might be wrong, I'm not a lawyer. I would advise you look around extensively on Google, but Swiss laws are generally lax on currencies.

Something that is unique in the gambling market, and with a nice customer support as well, you will succeed as a site owner.

Dont forget about marketing strategy. Unique game and nice customer support without great marketing strategy (promotions, advertising, giveaway,etc) will lead in fail IMO.
