Stake.GG | The World's First eSports Exchange

[StakeGG]

Always nice to see another sports exchange appear. Your website looks really good and polished - great job on that. I signed up for an account and was surprised to see first and last name being required. I used an obvious fake name register, which I hope is okay as I have no intention of using credit cards/paypal on your website. Will you limit/ban customers who do that with Bitcoin only? You should also consider adding an account type where only BTC is accepted that doesn't require personal information.

Thank you for your feed, appreciate it. Registering with fake information is fine as long as Bitcoin/CSGO skins remain your payment method.

I'm glad that Stake.GG immediately included League of Legends cause actually it's the only esports that I'm betting on. Well, I wouldn't miss to spread my bets on this site up to the coming Worlds 2017.
I'm sure that this will be another awesome betting series for the League community considering the teams that have qualified this year. maybe SKT again?  lol

Wow. The world sure is changing when you are able to make bets on eSports.

However, isn't it very easy to stage the results in an eSport match?

Lets say some player loses on purpose just to win his bet on a eSport match?

Since its virtual it would be hard to prove.

It depends on the game, esports betting has been around for a while now and these guys in the big games at least does it for a living. It would not be worth it to stage a match since you can get banned from the game and even go to prison if you are found out. Not to mention the amount of money players are receiving just to participate in tournaments, not worth it at all.

I highly doubt that you can go to prison if you are caught trying to stage a match.

I can see you being able to stage a match during a live sport, many cameras on you and people usually are used to your moves and they can easily tell when you do something different or lose on purpose.

However with a game like CS:GO, it would be very difficult to prove that it was staged. The player can just say that he mouse stopped working or his mouse slipped and he lost.

So let me get this straight you can sell your bet during the match?

that is very interesting

Yes, our platform is ostensibly a stock market.

I just placed a bet but the market I am betting on is empty for now. If there is no one taking my bet will it be rejected? I gather your site is an exchange and not a sportsbook right?

Yes, your order has to be fulfilled, or it will remain pending, and cancel when the match is finished.

All question been answered already because as darkstar and other people do ask about it is also my concern.Registering with full name is really a NO NO for me and its now being clear up that its not really a necessary thing as long we do make use of BTC and you should expect that most people on here would use that payment system because we are on Bitcoin forum btw and also i do like the website design its cool in the eyes.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The first thing I notice is that after pressing "Place Order," there was no confirmation message so that I knew it was correctly processed. I am currently using my laptop with about a 15 inch screen, so I would have to scroll down to see my open orders on the match. That being said, I made the same bet twice before scrolling down to check if I was missing something. Might be a good idea to add a confirmation message for clarity.

I will keep posting feedback as I go.

A notification on order creation is a good idea, thank you!

what this site really  needs is pundits,since its a betting platform that operates like Betfair,Betdaq and similar
you can end up betting on a team and get none to take your bet on,this is frustrating
since its a new site,I suggest you offer some incentitive for people to register and try it out
or run a good promo to draw pundits to your site,maybe a freebie smallish bet or something like that

[Slark]

1. On your site, I see credit cards symbols, which indicates that you are accepting them, right? Yet your only options for withdrawing money is Bitcoin and Skins?
2. Others said it already, there is no promo, no bonus, no incentive to try your platform. Think of some kind of additional motivation for new players. It would be cool.
3. You said that you support many games, so far I see only CS:GO and LoL - I am waiting for Dota2, StarCraft2 and maybe there is a chance you addr Smite and Paladins?

As I received some free tokens to try out your site I did just that for a couple of days and figured I'd let everyone know about my experience:

1) It was a bit difficult getting starting and figuring out what everything meant, you have the same thing displayed in different ways and that adds some confusion.
2) I placed a bet on a couple of games only to realize someone else had to accept the bet which in return meant that when I thought I'd won, I hadn't since nobody had accepted my bet. A bit frustrating.
3) I can deposit using Creditcard I assume? I can only withdraw for skins or BTC though. Hopefully that'll change in the future?

So, ups and downs throughout my experience. I'll give this another guy and keep posting my bets as they might get taken by others as your userbase grows. I agree with others that some kind of promotion would be sufficient as you rely on a big userbase that are willing to bet against eachother.

Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback, greatly appreciate it. I'll try my best to respond to each of your concerns below.

1) Agreed, our platform can be more intuitive. We plan on improving this aspect of the site greatly in future iterations.
2) Our site is built as an exchange, so this problem is rather hard to "fix". However, with a large user base this problem should be lessened.
3) Yes, in the future we plan on implementing a multitude of different deposit/withdrawal methods.

Why do u claim it to be The World's First eSports Exchange? AFAIK, there are many others like SportsBet.io, NitrogenSports.eu etc. Or, am I missing something?

Stake is vastly different than those sites. We're an "exchange" in the truest sense.

Great response! Appreciate the honesty and that you can be humble about it. I think that all you need is a few promotions and you'll gain traction. As stated previously I'll keep trying out your site and I do look forward to what the future may bring for Stake.gg
