New Poker Brand for BTC

[game-protect]

@ game-protect: Just perusing the multitude of bullshittery on your betcoin.ag scam website should be more than enough to convince anyone who possesses even just a shred of intelligence that you betcoin.ag and your betcoin.ag scam operation is just one big scam. Just because people aren't fool enough to fall for your betcoin.ag scam bullshit doesn't make you betcoin.ag any less of a scammer.

A shitty scammer is still a scammer.

Why do you prefer to promote a shitty scammer?

So as we leap closer to launch date I wanted to update you guys with one of the features we are working right now to implement in our system.
Its called UBPlay (why its called that I'll leave for a different time)

Basically, we are going to introduce a game based on PLAY MONEY MODE.

And it goes like this:
When a new user signs up, he will be given 500 play chips that can be topped up once every 6 hours.
You can play any game you want , including cash games, tourneys, sitNgos.
Once you accumulate enough chips  you can purchase tickets for our events
8 events will run monthly, between mbtc100 - 1000 EVERY month.
Only way to enter the events is buy purchasing tickets through PLAY MONEY.
On May of every year we will host the Main Events of UBPlay, with prizes up to  BTC20

Players wishing to start with more than 500 play chips, or want to play bigger play tournaments can do so by purchasing play chips (kind of like on pokerstars, zyngapoker or wsop on facebook)

Value of chips: Every chip is worth 1 satoshi (however play chips can not be converted to real money)
Play chips can be purchsed at 1mbtc for 100,000 (as there are 100,000 satoshis in 1mbtc)

We believe this can be a really nice feature that can push newbies to become real money players and help new btc players get acquainted with how bitcoin works

REAL MONEY FEATURES WILL BE LISTED HERE SOON

Are you going to tear off a piece from Pokerstars?
These guys crushed the entire pool of players!
I do not know of a more convenient poker room. I know many are annoyed by the unnecessarily strict security service of PokerStars. I myself consider it superfluous, but this is the safety of our money. Here, caution can not be superfluous.
Do you know why PokerStars dominates?
Usability, usability, usability ...
Not the flag of the country and not the rakeback!
Give me an interesting project that can poke the PokerStars and I will be your investor first.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

We are not competing with PokerStars, if we were, I wouldn't invest my time nor money in this project.
Our brand, like most bitcoin related software, is completely anonymous. We accept players worldwide, without the need of users supplying KYC form, documents, licenses or addresses. Furthermore, we accept cryptocurrencies, that users can withdraw ALOT faster than any other fiat gaming brand.
The cost of depositing or withdrawals are minimal. The cost of marketing is also different, and as such, with less operating expenses, we can also give lower rake to our users (or more rakeback options).

Therefor, it is in my opinion, and my partners, that if we create a brand, that has all the necessary software capabilities, a good UI, good promotions, high level security, and a good chunk of money to put into marketing (which is something I have over 8 years of experience in) I believe a poker brand can be successful.

If you'd like to further discuss, pm me and we can take our conversation to a skype call.

Best

I don't like pokerstars, much more interesting poker place for me is 888, call it as you like its the taste, I like 888 more cause of the look, awesome promotions, prizes, tournaments, different cash games, reward and loyalty program. I open 888 poker every single day, I can't skip one day cause I always spin that wheel for some nice prize, ticket, 3$ sports bet, 5$ for casino...
When we talk about bitcoin poker my favorite site is the one I advertise betcoin.ag, nice tournaments, loyalty program is also good, there is some nice free tournaments.

Now about new site, everything is important, general experience must be very good. I think that we count everything starting from the look of your site, support, good promotion and bonuses for first players, rakeback, some leaderboards with prizes for people on that list, you need to think about everything before you see people on your poker tables. Most of us already have our favorite places, and you really need to offer something unique and a bit better then others to attract players to come to play poker in your site.

Your absolutely right. We have created some interesting new promo ideas, that I will announce when we are closer to launch.
In the meantime, check out my other post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2069122.0

You can see the design of the poker brand were launching.

thanks

Hey , I m a Hyper Sit n Go Player , from other BTC Poker sites I know it s hard to get Sit and Gos running , so I think its best to focus on cashgame and MTT.
Rake: You should have a look at other bitcoin Poker sites , Betcoin for example has a very low rake for cash game , I think thats a nice way to attract players . For MTT 10% Rake is normal for regular and turbo Speed , For hyperTurbo MTTs you should go a bit lower.
Rakeback: Rakeback is very important for a sucessfull Pokerroom. It should depend on a VIP Lvl or something like that and range from 20% for the lowest lvl  to 60% for active users.

SignUp/Deposit Bonus/Freerolls Everyone loves Free stuff. But to be honest not a single good PokerPlayer enjoys playing them.
Instead of Freerolls , you should go with a little faucet ... for example 100-1000 satoshis every hour and run some very low cashgames (1sat/2sat Blinds) , to get new players into the game.  A first Deposit Bonus is always nice for example 100% up to 1BTC.

Heads up games are my favorite

with low rake (5% 50 cent usd equivalent cap)

Rake is lower than 5% on a full table, and will be even lower on a HU table. Moreover, every table you sit on you receive Rakeback, depending on table stakes. (Cap will vary and  depends on table stakes, but you can expect it to be lower than most fiat based poker rooms).

Thanks

@shtako being unlicensed will bring alot of issues. I have been in the industry for 10+ years.

@eking657 research servers, countries laws, ssl certification & payment intergration carefully if your not intending to get a gambling license. If you  intend to get this site live with a basic DV cert, 3rd party servers & 3rd party payment intergration it wont last very long. Another issue will be if you use your own hardware you will need more protection then simple DDOS, Injection and other software on the server. If a single incoming/outgoing connection is not secured someone can quite easily find the ports to attack. Once an ip can be located authorities will go after the domain, ssl and server company and if that fails they will go after your ISP. Poker is a high target for attacks & local gov.

From experience i would advise to prioritise security & dont use 3rd party api's, use your own hardware before even spending $1 on advertising. Software can be easily decompiled and reverse engineered to find exploits, logs & information for the server side.

As for marketing stick to the basics with poker, retention is quite low, aim for players in US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Saudi, Ireland for a quicker return.

A few suggestions if your not thought of them already.
- Ensure any chat system is secure within the software (high target)
- Introduce a VIP system (keeps players returning for bonuses)
- Use multiple wallets so funds are split (Bank, Rake, Bonuses, Withdrawels etc) dont have all the funds in one bag.
- Backup server regulary.
- Only hire trusted staff members, limit support staff to certain controls & LOG every action.


Looking forward to see this develop, good luck with the project. Nice to see a developement thats not the crappy mavens poker engine.

I am aware there are many sites that to play poker for fiat in rummycircle, jungles ace123 and many sites provide the earning in online. Bitcoin related gambling site is available in huge numbers but we need to check the amount of stack limit according to your capacity.

Thank you very much for your comment.
Yes I'm WELL aware of all security measures you pointed out (well, most anyway  )
The aim is to get this brand as the number 1 crypto poker brand out there. In order to do that, the  brand can NOT be regulated whatsoever, simply for one reason and one only - It has to give the player the right to stay anonymous, which simply can not be done under any regulation.
We have a very strong tech and security team, which in all honesty, I think is probably the biggest expense we are incurring, otherwise building a new brand nowadays is actually a lot easier than it used to be, so I'm quite confident that this brand is here to stay and wont wither away after 3 - 6 months like many other bitcoin poker brands (and casinos) I have seen in the past 2-3 years.

Anyway, thank you so much for the advise, it is well noted.
And I will definitely send you a PM once we are ready to launch our beta.

Best.

Yeaaa considering bitcoin gambling sites include poker room run illegally , a license will be a good one.
Also don't run a completely free "freeroll" , just take a look to nitrogen poker freeroll requirement it is good.
A badbeat jackpot should be there and a new unique software that completely different with most poker room will make people not get bored & comfortable .

The reality and my experience confirm exactly the opposite!

Poker is a high target for attacks & local gov.

Please show examples where the local government went after online poker sites outside the US?

I think what he meant was, it MAY bring up an issue. From my experience, there shouldn't be a problem either, especially that our game-server is overseas, staff overseas and we are dealing with crypto-currencies, there should be little to no problem.
