I don't know if you answered.  But giant dragon isn't planning on doing a no house edge roulette.

Roulette you're playing against the house.  The house actually has some risk that they need to take.  Peerbet there is no housedge but the house doesn't have any risk.

Stats page have been updated. Total amount of the deposits and withdrawals ever made now public. Also raffles with single participant (when one player bought all tickets to test the game) will not be included in the stats "Turnout" metric.

I have started development of the Texas Holdem software based on HTML5. It will be the first rake-free poker room! Stay tuned!

There is a game poker players play called "flipping". Basically they agree to go "all in" pre-flop regardless of their hand. So long term this is a 0ev game minus rake, but the problem is you have to trust all parties and eventually someone comes and ruins the game by waiting for a good hand. So maybe try to make a game like that? This way you don't have to worry about collusion and bots.

edit

here's a youtube clip of phil ivey and ziigmund flipping for 200k pots.

I got many feature requests for the existing Peerbet games (API for mobile apps, more detailed stats etc), so I will focus on them in nearest time.

Also I see no sense in these "flipping" games and will try to implement full-featured Texas Holdem when have more free time.

This is impressive, but you cut way down on your ad profits when you become less like a website and more like a protocol (think twitter, pre-ad-tweet). Just a thought.

Anyway, I will be able so send sponsored messages in the chat like Twitter does.

We have started giving away free promo credits on the Daily Bitcoins! Don't miss you fortune!

Meanwhile, seems that Peerbet became the first gambling site with POSITIVE expected value for the players!

I was thinking... I know this would take way more time than it's worth to you, but it's an interesting idea...

Is there a feasible way of running 2-ticket (or more) raffles by having the users copy-paste signed transactions to each others addresses into the peerbet.org raffle page, and let peerbet decide which one to submit to the network? Is the amount/recipient's address verifiable from the signed tx? This way, your site would require less trust. You would only have the option of being a man-in-the-middle by changing the user's address to your own. Make sense?

Edit: looks like it's doable, see
