Signed up but never received my email confirmation,so was unable to test it. From the looks of the site it is mostly built for cell phones using the html version. Noticed a little farther down they want us to confirm a lot of personal info,which is a bit of a bummer.
Rather play a legit site if I have to send all my personal details. Seems a bit of a stupid thing that a lot of these new sites are attempting to do.
Check your junk mail or go into account and resend validation code, it seems to work great for most people but like 10% have problems with the email.
This is a copy of the real money poker site that will be launched after IPO , it has to be legal and follow the laws of every country it is used in . they need personal info so they don't break the law.
Of course it is a copy(skin) of a poker site,thats the new vague way of launching a bitcoin poker site.
So in doing so they have given up the one aspect that draws people to bitcoin being the anonymous factor.
Its dumb to even do such a half ass attempt and they will realize this in short time as the market is already flooded with people that think the same way.
If they where serious they would have established themselves in a place outside jurisdiction and feathered out any other issues.
If you still think it is such a great idea,answer this...
Why would I play on a bitcoin poker site that has me give up my anonymity anyways over pokerstars?
You already state they will be complying with local laws of the persons origin,which means they will not be able to except the same areas that pokerstars is not allowed to take in.
As for the email,I did all those things and find it odd when hiccups happen that you apply it only effecting 10% of the users! Why not just state that you would address the issue in support,rather than making it appear that a customer is in the minority with there issue.
It implies that person should go away or live with it,either way its poor. Hope you are not related to the site.
It's not a copy skin but ok.
People who think bitcoin is offering them anonymity are sadly mistaken. Pseudo-anonymity? yes. This is a single reason for people buying and using bitcoin out of many thousands. the same excuse could be used against bitcoin for Monero or even Dash.
This isn't just a poker site but a whole gambling platform slots/poker/table games/fantasy football/ sports betting.
They are registered in a place that gives them as much freedom as possible, that still doesn't change the fact that if you register as a completely legitimate gambling platform/company , you still have to follow the laws of people from other countries using your platform , any gambling safe haven country that has many different companies registered, they still need to prove that people from countries that gambling is illegal aint using their site.
Why do other people play other poker sites over pokerstars? out of the 10's of millions that do? why do people buy litecoin instead of bitcoin?
there is a multitude of reasons for possibly wanting to play at the site :
you are an investor.
you want to play against well known poker pro's .
you prefer a fully crypto integrated gambling platform .
you own stake and want somewhere to waste it or gamble and hope to win.
you don't like pokerstars .
you can't play poker in your country for money, you can use the free play platform to earn breakoutcoins with value to use on other parts of the site.
Just like i have mentioned before , this is the free to play platform, meaning if you cannot play poker in your jurisdiction for money you can play the free site, earn free coins that can be used when launched the rest of the whole platform. This is while in the background efforts have been and are and will be actively taken to allow and legally work towards licencing in other jurisdictions.
Sorry for the rough estimate, i have been in the slack channel watching development for over a year , the blockchain having unique properties compared to other coins built , smart property on the blockchain as an asset in the same wallet a staking value store currency while the spendable usable currency is a different coin on a 2 primary coin blockchain.
I am talking from my own personal experience from information collected from , the 1 main old thread, the new main thread, this thread and all the people coming into slack asking questions. about 1 in 10 seem to have a problem getting their email while most say it sends just fine , i was 1 of those 10 that had a problem getting the email , i don't know if its a temperamental email system, it just not liking certain addresses or what .
I could understand where you are coming from with "Why not just state that you would address the issue in support,rather than making it appear that a customer is in the minority with there issue.
It implies that person should go away or live with it,either way its poor. Hope you are not related to the site."
But i likely stated my person observations and then offered a possible solution that some people have found to solve the problem.
how am i making it appear like you should just go away while offering a possible solution?
