[OshiNick]

Hi there, I'm Nick Garner, CEO and founder of Oshi and I'm here to help in any way I can.
As you can probably tell, I'm a bit of a 'noob' when it comes to forums, so I hope you will cut me some slack on that.

Latest updates
We've been doing a lot of work on the casino, including integrating Microgaming and Netent. There's also a more advanced game search engine, which were steadily improving.

Background
I just thought it might be helpful to give you a little bit of background on the way we've been building out the casino and where we want to go.

How we do it
If you're in the world of software development, you will have heard of agile. Essentially it's where you get a minimum viable product, release it, get feedback and keep building iteratively better versions of the product.
In our case, we launched the casino as a minimum viable product back in November 2015 and we've been constantly working on it ever since.

Were nearly there
I do feel were getting close to what I call a tipping point. This is where we go from having an interesting idea to something that is genuinely better than anyone else.

More detail on our strategy
If you're not familiar with how casino operators work, here's a very quick synopsis:
game providers work with operators, and game providers take a percentage of revenue from customer losses
operators deal with licensing, platforms, technology, customer services…in essence they act as a wrapper for the casino games providers give.

We have partnered with the operations company SoftSwiss, they handle all of the game integration, payments, customer services

My team and I deal with the user experience and marketing of these games on SoftSwiss platform.

Casino games have typical house edge of around 5%. It varies depending on which game you're playing and if you have a look on our website, you can see all of the house edge data that we could get our hands on.

Essentially, house edge is the same for nearly every reputable casino, so it's really a question of how different brands decide to spend their cash to get more customers in.

For us, the focus is on customer experience and effectively returning as much cash back to the customers we can whilst remaining profitable. Our general view is that people want to gamble, give customers a better reason to gamble with us and we then don't have to spend so much money on things like marketing and advertising. That's why we behave more like a software business than a casino in that were constantly working on site updates and so on.

We also made a real point of giving as much money back in the form of bonuses and free spins as we can.

The big idea
ultimately, you play on a casino because of the games. So our mission is to make it as easy as possible to find and play the games you love.

I'd love your feedback
If you want to check out the casino and give it a go, I really love your feedback on any thing you like or dislike. In return for your constructive support, I'll make sure you get a really good reload bonus...

Not in every case. They can restrict the promo to each IP per site and block the obvious VPN IPs.
Moreover I will not play on a new site until it is certified as probably fair by some reputed individuals.
Looks like the site is a clone.

Are you one of their team? I bet no, so you cant say that it is abusing the promotion because you do not know the terms, dont you?
You can say it is abusing the promo if you know the terms very well.

This is an interesting offer and I would like to know the terms of it: I mean what are (if there are) the rollover requirements of the eventual 15 free spins winnings? Does this offer implies also the deposit has some rollover requirements and if so which ones?



Also, just out of curiosity, I still can read this in opening post:

Who is OshiMike ?

OshiMike is the Head of Operations at Oshi.  What does this mean though?  This means I am here for YOU!  I plan to immerse myself with you, become a part of you.  Learn what you want and need, then translate that to the Oshi development team and bring things to life.  I also plan on doing fun things with you all, spearheading tasks and seeing them through to completion.  Consider me your friend, do not hesitate to ask me a questions, regardless of if it is related to the casino or not.  The best relationships are built with friendship and trust.  I have been in love with Bitcoin for a few years now.  I am not the earliest of adopters but I do know Bitcoin is the greatest tech out since the Internet, and fully support it evolving the way we transact and interact with others online.  I have mined bitcoin, and also written proof of concept ideas for web based Bitcoin applications.  I am here for the long run to make sure this community succeeds by helping in any way I can.

how about adding a little incentive to players who play almost everyday?you know,the loyal ones..like if a player is playing daily (or almost), that player gets a nicer bonus each day until that particular player misses a day to which he has to start all over again..

[OshiNick]

Hi everyone,
firstly, thank you so much for your feedback and sorry about not getting back to this sooner, I thought I'd set up an automated alert, but i didn't....durrrrr.

In short, I'm going to have a talk with the bonus team and will work something out, because clearly it's important.

[OshiNick]

Nice.You should also start a signature campaign regarding the same.Also some free deposits or bonuses for trying out the slots.Please keep the house edges as low as possible and withdrawals without any minimum amount restrictions.

Free deposits
honestly, I don't know the answer to that because I'm really not clear on what the potential for abuse could be. It's something that has come up a few times and so I'll have a talk with the bonus team about it. Also just to say, I don't really know that much about bonuses. But saying that there must be some kind of creative way of issuing free deposits to people who are genuinely interested in trying out Oshi. I will follow up on this.


Signature campaign
We have recently organised a signature campaign, which is being managed by one of the team. I'm glad you like the idea, because it just gives me more confidence in the campaign were going to be launching.  


Cash out minimums
On minimum amount restrictions, that's interesting. Coincidentally I had been looking at this:

This is our cash out/commission table:

BTC
Deposit commission percent: 0.0%
Deposit commission fixed: 0.0 BTC
Min cashout: 0.00011 BTC
Max auto cashout: 0.5 BTC
Max cashout: 5.0 BTC
Cashout commission percent: 0.0 %
Cashout commission fixed: 0.0 %

Question: Is this cash out amount okay? Min cashout: 0.00011 BTC, equivalent to 5 cents USD ?



House edge
So you know, the way house edge works is that the game provider actually sets it within the game and as an operator we have no control over the return to player/house edge. So the best we could do was to at least list them all out where we could get the data and then people could make your own minds up about which games you want to play.

https://oshi.io/about/fair

Also, we have got all the games tested by a company called iTech labs who certify that everything is exactly as advertised. And if you really care, all the SoftSwiss games have a testing tool embedded in the game itself where you can validate its return to player percentage.

Having looked at the numbers recently, the return to player percentage across the board seems to be around 96.5%

Random fact: craps has a really low house edge, but it's quite a complicated game to play:
    Pass/Come   1.41%
    Don't pass/don't come   1.36%
    Odds — 4 or 10   0.00%
    Odds — 5 or 9   0.00%
    Odds — 6 or 8   0.00%
    Field (2:1 on 12)   5.56%
    Field (3:1 on 12)   2.78%
    Any craps   11.11%
    Big 6,8   9.09%
    Hard 4,10   11.11%
    Hard 6,8   9.09%
    Place 6,8   1.52%
    Place 5,9   4.00%
    Place 4,10   6.67%
    Place (to lose) 4,10   3.03%
    2, 12, & all hard hops   13.89%
    3, 11, & all easy hops   11.11%
    Any seven   16.67%

Thanks in advance for explaining.

Another post from me. Just so you know who I am, I'm the founder and CEO of Oshi and if you look around for 'nick garner' , you'll find lots about me online.

Oshi Mike
Firstly, with Mike… He just kind of drifted away. People do that. He moved to a different part of the world, re-prioritised a bunch of stuff in his life and I guess he just thought Oshi was not that important anymore to him. So that's fine. Were all cool and if he resurfaces; Great! because I like him a lot.

We should have a new community manager coming on board very soon. It's actually very hard to find somebody who is likeable, knows Bitcoin really well and is into what were doing with Oshi, but we may have found somebody. So I hope you'll be gentle with him when he makes his first appearance. 

And then there's me. I'm not a Bitcoin expert relatively speaking, but at least I can tell you about the casino and hopefully help out were necessary.

What's been going on
firstly, a little bit of history. We launched the casino back in November 2015 and we started out with a standard theme/site infrastructure from SoftSwiss. We then immediately started pulling it apart to make it more of what we believe a casino site should be.

Around December it was clear that we couldn't work with the existing web front-end and so we began the huge task of completely rebuilding the front-end of the website, along with a new middleware which could then talk to SoftSwiss. I'm being slightly technical, but in short we built everything from the ground up.

Why? Because just having another 'same as' casino is a quick way to burn through a ton of marketing cash and end up nowhere. So we decided to follow our convictions and rebuild the whole site around a simple idea:

You go to a casino to play casino games. Make it as easy as possible for you to find the games you want to play.

And with that principle, with rebuilt the whole website around making it easy to find games that you want to play. Essentially, we've taken an e-commerce approach to online casino. If you think about a real estate website, or an auto sales website, they are designed to get you from the homepage to the property or the car that you want to buy. Another good example would be Steam, who are brilliant at navigating you to those games you might want to buy.

And that's what were doing.

There's a huge amount of work still to do, but I think were getting much closer to something special, where you can actually sift through all of these hundreds of casino games to find the ones you actually want to play. Have test drive and see what you think...

Random fact:
Every single casino game goes to a categorisation process, where we have 97 attributes and 1441 sub attributes which we used to categorise a game, for instance:

Attribute: Theme Color Algo primary - i.e. where we use a tool that has an algorithm for describing the primary, secondary and tertiary colours on a casino game.

Theme Color Algo primary : Black
Theme Color Algo primary : Blue
Theme Color Algo primary : Brown
Theme Color Algo primary : Green
Theme Color Algo primary : Grey
Theme Color Algo primary : Orange
Theme Color Algo primary : Violet
Theme Color Algo primary : Yellow

Why is this useful? Because people like certain colours more than others and therefore they might like games which are brown, more than green games.

The big idea is to catalogue games just like someone catalogues features in a car when selling it on a website. And with this categorisation, we can then do some really interesting stuff which were only beginning to explore. For you, we just want a completely seamless frictionless experience. A bit like whatever your favourite e-commerce websites are.

There is a fairly complete list here  http://kb.oshi.io/kb/oshi-attributes-and-sub-attributes

Yes. Absolutely. The thing with deliberated about is how to do this.

The problem with loyalty schemes is they so abstract. You play on the site, you earn points over time and you get stuff. There's very little relationship between doing things and here and now rewards.

Other operators sometimes run cashback schemes, where if a customer loses money they get a refund. But weirdly these cashbacks are a reinforcement of the pain of loss, which is not good.

Loyalty ideas
We've got a project in our pipeline where you can play in a weekly lottery draw and the more often you engage on the site, playing games or whatever, the more tickets you get and so the more likely you are to win.

I think the problem we have is that none of us really know what you would like most. I qualify 'you' as marknoval and any Bitcoin gambler.

Essentially as I see it, there are two viable approaches

• make gambling cheaper i.e. through bonuses or whatever, effectively improving the return to player
  
• have more opportunity to win more. Through lotteries, or free spins et cetera

They're both connected, but different as you can see.

Just going back to your idea Mark, " that player gets a nicer bonus each day until that particular player misses a day to which he has to start all over again.."

I like this a lot, but the one thing I wouldn't do is penalise anyone for missing a day of logging in, because real life intervenes and people have got other things to do.
So I would do it based on cumulative engagement over the previous week perhaps. I need to have a think about this and talk to my team and see what they feel could work.

But the principle is very good i.e. more engagement more reward.

What's your opinion Mark? And would anyone else like to contribute here?

Thanks for the intro Nick

Hi everyone, I'm Travin. I've been on-and-off with crypto over the past three years and have been involved with various crypto communities under different usernames. I'll be using this one for everything Oshi-related.

I'm also working on the signature campaign at the moment and will make a post about it once things are ready.

[marknoval]

first off, hello travin.
going back, yep, i think it will definitely engage players to play more often. come to think of it, its a win-win situation since both parties will benefit with this loyalty bonus  arrangement..ofcourse,im just saying this an opinion. final word still rests on the managements decision.

I am going to work with Travin and a number of the team on the whole question of loyalty bonuses. As I mentioned before, it's pretty important stuff and collectively, we want to get this right. Back soon.

In case you don't know, I am Nick Garner, CEO of Oshi. I'm going to ask Marko, our affiliate manager to talk about this. I'll also ask him to do much more detailed breakdown on this knowledge base article here
http://kb.oshi.io/kb/affiliate-administration-fee

We have put a lot of effort into making our affiliate commission structure as flexible and motivating as possible. We have different commission structures for different circumstances i.e. heavy hitters, people who just want to roll along and those who aren't really that sure about outcome. Each commission plan is designed to maximise the payouts we can offer affiliates.

And one other point, we are essentially in a start-up cycle and so are strategy is to make the website better than anyone else's, offer better affiliate commissions than anyone else can and offer better bonuses than anyone else does. By having this combination of factors, hopefully we will get more pickup from the community and in turn it'll help build our customer base.

[smho_16]

Really nice slot games there, but the requirement of 40x wager the amount of the bonus is a bit high, why such limitations, as a new casino you should distinguish yourself from others ,by offering that which others are offering not, meaning free 15 spins can be withdrawn directly if they are a win, even if they are a jackpot or a huge win.
