CoinsVictory.com - Bet Bitcoins on PacMan, Tetris, Snake & Others | 50% Referral

[nicolazza]

Hi all,
I'm pleased to show you my project!
It's still under construction, but you can send us your email and get notified when the site is online and working by visiting this url: coinsvictory.com

INTRODUCTION
On Coins Victory you can bet and win bitcoins by challenging your friends to some games.

GAMES
Only past/arcade games, such as pacman, tetris, snake and chess. No poker, no roulette, no lottery, no casino games.
We are working on a total of 8 epic games.

COMPETITIONS
You can challenge your friends (1 vs 1) by selecting game and bet. Who gets the high score wins the pot.
Ex: Tom wants to play Tetris and bet 1000 BTC against Jerry. Tom scores 100,000 point, Jerry scores 120,000 points. Jerry wins and gets Tom's bitcoins.
Winnings are automatically sent at the end of each competition.

Browse the game history to find out games played, most played game, average bet and victory %.

TRUSTED TEAM
You can play only against users inside your trusted team. You cannot play against unknown users.
You are completely free to manage your friends by adding or removing them.

ACCOUNT
You only need to provide us username, password, email, personal pin (*), date of birth (**) and your default bitcoin address for winnings.
(*) you need to use your personal pin to start a new competition, add/remove a friend of your trusted team and edit your account details. You will type your personal pin on a virtual keyboard. Even if someone stole your password your account is safe.
(**) if you are a minor you cannot create an account

AVATAR
Create and customize a vector-graphic avatar by selecting hair, eyes, skin, mouth, eyebrows, beard, hands, shirts, pant, shoes and many other accessories.
Submit you avatar to the "avatar contest", collect votes and win some extra bitcoins.

REFERRAL PROGRAM
Spread the world with your referral url and/or our banners and earn 50% net of the house edge, forever.
There are no limits at all.

HOUSE EDGE
4% on withdrawals: 2% for the referral program, 2% for us.

SECURITY
Coins Victory uses SSL.
We look at game statistics and results in order to discover unfair users and ban them forever.
We also provide full details of all the game transactions through the bitcoin blockchain.

Why am I starting this thread?
This project is still under construction, but I'd be happy to hear questions, opinions, critics and suggestions.
I will also update this thread as soon as I have some news about the project.

We need testers! Look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241218.0

Very nice.

[Mooshire]

If you need beta testers PM me.

[nicolazza]

Very nice.

Thanks  

If you need beta testers PM me.

I will definitely need beta testers, I'll let you know!

Same.
But it would be nice for people who want to join the website on his own to get +1% if he has no referral link.

There are some details that I still have to define, however I think that is unfair if without referral the house edge increases from 2% to 3%, so I'am thinking to create a "charity bitcoin address" that will automatically receive all earnings.

With referral link: 2% for us and 1% for referral user
Without referral link: 2% for us and 1% sent to the charity address

...and I will use the charity address to donate funds to some no profit organizations (in particular bitcoin-related).
Obviously there will be a page that shows:
- total number of users without referral link
- total games played
- total earnings
- donations sent

What do you think?

I like what i'm reading

Nice, something fresh amidst these dumb rolls and empty poker rooms.

[sootedtho]

Very refreshing idea.

I would love to help with the testing.

Let me know!!!!

Small remark from the site:
"Can't wait to challange your friends?"

It's challenge.

Nice, something fresh amidst these dumb rolls and empty poker rooms.

This is the main reason that led me to start this project: bet bitcoins on something new!

Very refreshing idea.

Let me know!!!!

Thanks for you interest! In these days I'm thinking about the best way to try out the site when it is ready. Probably with some accounts for people like you, and maybe also with testnet...I will let you know!

Very cool/refreshing idea, if done correctly this could be pretty big. I see a few issues though, if I wanted to vs a friend at chess etc I could just play a game vs them on another site without house edge and loser would send over the BTC. That being said I suggest adding an original game. Also something to be wary of is people using bots to gain an unfair advantage.

Best of luck with this!

For action games such as PacMan, Snake, etc, how do you intend to verify the legitimacy of submitted scores?

You can only play against verified friends, so would cheat your friends who you would then beat up IRL.

Thanks for your comment! I know that people can play these kind of games in a lot of sites, and It's for this reason that I'm building a gaming community with some social features: trusted team, personal avatar, game history and I'm working on private messaging and chat. I want to offer something more than the usual bitcoin betting site.

I'd be happy to hear all your issues

This. With the "trusted team system" a cheater steals money to his friends.
If you invite some friends and build a trusted team to play with, your trust moves from games to your opponents. Play only with your trusted friends and you will never have any problem

We also look at gameplay and game statistics: if we find something strange we will contact the user and wait for his explanations.
Remember that all your friends will be notified if you steal money to another friend: this is not good for your reputation

What is the minimum allowed bet ?

[nicolazza]

What is the minimum allowed bet ?

Thanks for your question!
This is still an open issue, however I think that the min. allowed bet will always be the bitcoin equivalent of 0.1$.

Let me know what you think about that

This.
My first though was - It would be nice to be able to play against "non-friends" cause none of my friends use btc, or even play chess good enough. And my next thought would be - "hey, I could even use some bot to play instead of me!"

Although it would be fair if both people use bots battle of the bots, who has more resources available for his bot's solving?

Well I hope this site will be a good way to convince someone to try Bitcoin... something like "Hey we could bet some money on a Tetris challenge, like the old days!"  
...and for me isn't a problem if two friends want to bet on "Who built the best bot?", just do not use bots with users who do not agree!

[Boelens]

Looking forward to this, this could be awesome! When will it be released?
