www.gamebet.gg Launches GameBet Coin (GBT) eSports -- SALE OVER!!!

[favdesu]

the top investor keeps buying and it keeps making my stash smaller.   now i have no choice to buy more but this time im smarter. im waiting for the last 10 minutes to send in my btc.  then i wont be further diluted.
i just wish the top investor does not do the same.

You guys have money to blow. Lol I never invest more than 1 Btc in an ico because anything can happen.

its not money to blow. its money to invest. blowing money away is like using ponzi double your money in 2 hours.

to be fair - most bitcoin related investments are like ponzis but slower until they vanish.

anyways, gamebet seems legit, and I know some of them form other coin communities. I consider this as one of the better investments (I did not invest)

[$dakini]

I would have invested if there was a proper escrow.
But this is too fishy to me as there is no way of verifying that the OP is not re-investing all the
member's bitcoins back into the investment pool under his name.
He admitted that he is daily withdrawing the coins from the fund.
What happens to it, you guys have to trust.


Good luck for all the invested members.

Is it possible to see the invested balance in some BTC account?
How do we know you are not re-investing with the investments from other members?


You can see all the investments on the ledger. Every night we sell the majority of the bitcoin that has come in during the day. We do this for a few reasons but the main 2 are because, we are offering perks to our investors that actually cost us money our of pocket (steam prepaid cards, steam silver ect) so we must sell right away to cover theses costs. The 2nd reason we sell daily is because we are not gambling on the price of bitcoin. We have expenses and bills to pay and most of them don't take bitcoin as payment. Holding fiat is much safer for us then holding bitcoin is and the last thing we want to happen is for bitcoin to dump $100 and we end up losing 25% on top of what we have to put our for the perks.

Thanks for the great question.

it does not bother me what the devs do as long as the site start making money and more user start using it. that is all I care about.
I want to be part of the house for once in my life.

[favdesu]

are you waiting to invest in the last 10 minutes like me?

I will not invest at all. In my opinion, there's far too much established competition in both crypto and steam betting.

i dont agree. There is some competition of course but if that was a reason to not trying building something new then what would the world we live in look like?
its not an easy road but it cant be that hard to take a cool site and build it into a very popular site.

It sounds like a bit premature from the dev's part to lose transparency like this on invested funds before the ICO ends.
If he is that worried about the bitcoin price, he could have started the ICO 20 days back.

i dont see loss of transparency. we invest so they can build and work and marketing. it would be unfair to have someone who you invest money to to then have to bare the risk of price fluctuations.

How much price would expect to fluctuate in 2 weeks, that too when we have halving in 2 months time.
When you run a company and doing an ICO, you have some responsibility to the investors.
To me it sounds like a lame excuse.

To be honest it's a very lame excuse. Quite sketchy. But we will see what will happen.

with bitcoin anything is possible and i think the sale lasts 3 week. we have all seen bitcoin dump 50$ or more in a week. sometime in a few hours.

i dont think the devs excuse is lame. they already have a product and users. its not like eth ico when people need to wait weeks or months for the project to go live. in that case they should have to wait till the end to sell btc. but when you already have business its different. like i said in the other post. it does not bother me.

Would it bother you if all the members have invested 50bitcoins and the dev withdrew all of them and re invested 48bitcoins back into the investment making a total of 98bitcoin investment, of which dev gets to  keep half the GBT coins and 50 bitcoins? thats the question you should be asking yourself.

you will never know about it bro. thats where the transparency is needed.
If you dont have a problem with that, i am not going to argue further.

Hey guys, posting here to give an update on how things are going. We're still in works with Chris Sanders on the youtube intro, it's taken longer than we've expected but this time has allowed us to ensure it will be very high quality material. Reminder, Hockey will be released tomorrow to kick-off our sports betting. Basketball, as well as other sports mediums will be released in the subsequent days to come. We want to thank you guys for your support and investments. We've still got a way to go from our initial goal, but there's still a few  days left and hopefully we'll reach our goal or get as close as possible to it! We want to thank everyone for all the great questions posted on the thread, in PM, email and through (contact us) the site.

We think we got to everyone's questions but if we missed any please accept our apologies and let us know. Last, but not least, we wanted to thank our users; The ones who are placing bets, winning and losing and creating great prize pools for everyone to enjoy; Without you the site would cease to exist. We also wanted to take this time to update everyone on the business side of the site. Our second week beta gave us some early indicators that we were onto a good thing with GameBet but after looking at the results over the last 14 days there's no doubt that GameBet will be successful.

# of Total Bets: 880
USD: 5863.61310460
GG: 5476.39199000
SS: 387.22111460

# of Users: 656
Average Bet Size (GG): 6.91463635
Average Bet Size (SS): 4.40023993

Over the last two weeks, the USD value of total bets has increased ~490%, average bet has gone up ~240% and users have increased 400%. We also want to remind everyone that this has all be achieved only using the BitcoinTalk forum and twitter. Once the sale is complete, the new UI redesign will be selected and implemented and then our marketing budget will be put to use, allowing us to expand our reach which will allow those in the Loyalty Reward Program to receive a handsome share. Looking at our current numbers it's easy to see we'll be producing great profit once things get rolling.

wow, the amount raised is now ~75 btc... Now i have a quick question... is there an investment cap? are you only looking to raise 100k so that at ~250btc raised the crowdsale will end?   Anyways, the ledger is filling up and this project looks pretty promising!   I look forward to updates and hope you consider adding some fantasy type football betting like draftkings to the plan

There is no investment cap. As stated in the opening post if we raise more than 100k that would be amazing and the total sold would be in the highest bracket available. Distributions will still be based on how much a user has invested percentage wise. Thanks for your support and yes it is a plan to eventually add Fantasy based betting.

I think one of the exciting parts of the project is that once you have the backend, you can add pretty much anything.

Our site is very flexible in what we are capable of doing. We take pride in ensuring that we have the right people to get jobs done efficiently as well as bringing to life new ideas.

You can’t expect anyone to invest when your numbers don’t back a million dollar valuation - However I would be willing to buy some of the coins later and play the market depending on how it does upon initial release.

IDK have you seen some of the other gambling sites around?
its obvious this has real credibility and a product out before the ICO is even released.

I'm in love with it so far, really excited for the ICO now!

Thank you for your kind words, we wish to continue to meet and exceed your expectations in the future.

how will you use the money? what will you do with the raised funds? if you assume for example raising $100k worth: your staffing plans? new developers? management? the specifics of your marketing strategy and why it costs so much? how long will the money last? exactly how much are you being paid? (in usd)

A lot of this is covered in the business plan, please take some time to read it. Here is a link: http://www.gamebet.gg/Content/BusinessPlan-Gamebet.ggv1.0.pdf

Will the ICO distribution be limited? like only one user can buy limited amount of GBT from one IP or something? What if some whale decides to jump first and buy GBT for, example, 400 BTC? he can own half of total supply and that can be really bad. GBT will be centralized and held by just few guys.

That's a great question. We could have tried to go about blocking people from doing this, but at the end of the day it is not possible to implement such a strategy as if someone wanted to they could easily use multiple proxies, computers, etc. Due to this, we've chosen to allow it as a free market and people are open to invest as much as they choose.

I Would be interested in investing once we get to know the team. is there any type of biography page or similar. where can i follow the updates for this? do you have a twitter or facebook.

Yes we have a twitter you can follow us as @gamebetgg and we do not yet have a facebook. There are small bios written for the core team members in the opening post. We do also have a Steam group which you can join here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gamebetgg

What time is the hockey betting open tomorrow

Looking forward to seeing these numbers continue to grow. With a few g's and the right people you can make gamebet go viral. it wont happen in the first day so dont get disappointment if you dont see major results overnight, but keep working on the site, giving us users a place to gamble, trade, sell steam items and use crypto and the users will start flocking like wild birds. people love to gamble i dont know many places that went bankrupt involved in online gambling because so many people love to gamble. Honestly i feel like im lucky to have found this thread in the million of other threads. i could have easily missed it. i'll say a prayer tonight to show my appreciation to the big guy upstairs.

[HongKongCoin]

HongKong loves making bets to Gamebet.GG evry dollar win is good dollar that invests more for future dolla. Win win for HongKong and anyone that has sense to make some dollars are invested to Gamebet. i wait and maybe become hongkong whale
