How to create own bitcoin gambling site?

[DarkArmy]

Are people really suggesting PHP is all you need? LOL. Have a look at one of the available gambling sites out now, Bustabit. PHP is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to Bustabit. You need to learn javascript, web sockets, html, css, php, sql, etc. A shit ton of languages. Then comes the bankrolling part of everything. To run a decent gambling site you will need around 400+ BTC. I don't care what anybody else says, you need a HUGE amount of money to even think about starting a casino. Then comes the $10k that you should use as a start up for a bug bounty search. You need people to find bugs in your site so that they aren't abused later down the track. Just look at what happened to Primedice a shit ton of times. They have lost thousands/millions of dollars to cryptography related issues in their site, related to server seeds and stuff. But something tells me that you (op) don't even have $5k to start a site with.

What happens next? The legalty issues. http://www.bitcoingg.com/bitcoin-gambling-legal/ If you've ever been on PrimeDice on a VPN, you'll see that half the countries are restricted due to gambling restrictions in the residential area. That's a huge problem in most authentic gambling sites these days, and you could get into a bit of trouble if you are not complying with the laws.

If you are indeed on a restricted budget (let's say 5 BTC) then you could buy a site script for 3 BTC, and then hire a developer for 1 BTC to connect the script to the moneypot API so you can use their bankroll to fund your site. Although the profit from that is quite low, it's better than nothing and it gives you a bit of a reputation boost at start(?). Then you can keep the rest of your BTC in reserve as an emergency settlement type of thing.

Good luck, feel free to ask if you need more help.

Nothing special to make gambling sites, you must master the PHP script. The most important thing is you have to understand the internet and database programming. Some time ago I found a blog that discusses specifically about it, if I'll met I share here.

Yes indeed to be able to make gambling sites should be able to master it all, even the base. Maybe to create a new gambling sites should make gambling sites with unique game features and fresh, so that people will be interesting to play. I had thinking maybe will interesting if it makes new betting game that can be played PvP such as billiard, maybe it will be interesting But the basis for making gambling sites is such as you say. Or if you have a big capital you can hire a programmer to create your gambling site, but maybe more expensive.

Yeah, that's correct it's not easy to make a gambling site. one needs to have serious amount of cash to start building a casino/dice site.

Ahahahah
Oh man for a newbie you sure know how to talk ^^

Indeed most of the points you raised are on the spots. But I think you make one important mistake which is that you're talking about what we could say a "high end gambling site", and by that I mean a gambling site extremely well optimized without any problem because made for being used by lots of people and for a long time. Like everything there are different levels of quality on a betting site! And you could also talk for example about sports betting sites which don't need at all the same level of skills to be made.
But anyway don't start such a project without at least something like 100/150k in your pocket. Cause even just for the bankroll you'll easily need 100btc (the rest can be gathered by other means like investment).

You found most stupid reason to open gambling site. It`s not just about bitcoin or fiat gambling site, for something like this you need a little fortune.

I need frontend & backend developer, designer, manager.
I have cool idea, bankroll no need..

I wish there is no lack of interest in your project , even a trusted member cannot do this
You really need bankroll of course , how can you pay people winning without it?

What kind of gambling is it without bankroll and house edge? That it`s not a gambling its just some game for killing the time. You need developers, designers, and how you plan to pay them? Better forget this idea, you can find a lot of free fun on the internet, you don`t have to gamble all the time for real money.

A guy I know did this stuff. He found a good programmer and payed him for doing a poker site which accepts bitcoin. Creating a site is really expensive but possible. Making it at least a bit popular - that's the hard part. Or do you want a site just for yourself and bots, so that you play games and never lose money? For this purpose it is quite all right but is you think this will make you rich than you might get dissappointed.

[maydna]

if we don't know anything about language programmer then we need to hire person to handle this, maybe you can try to visit fiverr and see if there is any programmer that will help you to create your own bitcoin gambling sites. in fiverr, you can hire person with cheap price and they will make what you need.

[soros017]

Who want join to me?
I create team of fans gambler and developer and designer.
note: First time we will work and create with out profit..

you either hire people which means you pay them to do some job for you, and since you have no trust you need to escrow the funds and then hire your team.

or you make the team by becoming partners and since this is bitcoin and we re online and anonymous it is not easy to trust someone else specially in a business matter which means dealing with money. even if you start it as a fun little project without money.

I'm looking for enthusiasts who are willing to help me free of charge and we will be a team. in the near future date we will get a good profit

It will be difficult to find good developers who are willing to work under such conditions, as this is a job that requires a lot of effort and attention. But if you have a good project and a good execution plan, it may be that good developers are willing to join your business. Do this with focus, and good luck.

You need money, time and legal advice for the setup.

Apart from all these one should have excellent marketing skills to market the product to attract more and more gamblers to play their games. If no players then no use of gambling site. Try make very easy to deposit and withdraw money then most gamblers will like these features because none of them want to wait for it.

User friendly for me is a when the gambling website have not much of going on in th screen. Like too much advertisement and too much movements. Kind of making me uncomfortable or getting distracted. I know there are people who feel the same way. Make it simple. Put some trees on the background or something green for it gets good for the eyes.

I remember small mistake costed primedice a lot when HufflePuff looted them so actually its not that simple.
And at the same time if you keep withdrawals manual people will never play on your site. Making a gambling site means you have to be mentally very alert and financially very solid in the start then later as the time goes you will earn what you invested.

no doubt that a lot of experienced programmer who and web developer who will help you in creating your own bitcoin gambling site. but after this the most important job is how to attract people to your gambling site. you need a good marketing expert or need to run a signature campaign in this form through which you can attract a lot of people.

Hiring a developer means you have to blindly trust him and he is the one who makes profit and loss for you, hiring a developer from fiverr won't give good results I am quite sure because people on fiverr are usually the ones who are quick and cheap and making a site requires exactly the opposite, a develper who can devote lots of time and money is not an issue between you and him.

Exactly. Sites like freelancer.com are better however as the pay is much higher ($70 - $100 per hour of work done) but you'd still need someone to work full-time on your website only. So putting up an ad to hire someone full-time would be a good idea.
However even if OP could create and work on the website all by himself, I can't see such a website coming to fruition from them, not until they have the huge amount of money such project requires.

Making it popular is not a big issue because if your friend's game is unique and simple to understand like you said poker so surely not unique but simple and famous. So just if the site is nice and simple you will get a lot of users like in fact I play on some poker sites, you have to at least list the site here on bitcointalk.

I know some quite good sites that have no legal setup but actually are earning good bitcoins. So, while its good to get licensed and all but since the nature of BTC is anonymous hence easy to run it anonymously too.

What all matters making a gambling site is how much time you have to devote and can you match the required knowledge needed ? Because you cannot depend on a outside coder completely to be honest.
