@TheQuin, you're going to end up with quite a lot of jobs then.
@Broken, the government doesn't have enough money to invest in this sort of thing and if he goes abroad to the BVI then they definitely won't have enoguh money to tend to it. Also since TheQuin doesn't have much programming knowledge (as he said) I think the site might be up for a bit of turbulance in the coming months...

I'd expand that to a bit of a larger field hahaha I crack me up.

... Our business model uses a 5% house edge to fund a faucet, rewards program and lottery. When people ask about reducing the house edge I ask them which of those things we should remove to pay for it. ...
How about all of them? I´d rather play on a site with a 1 % fixed house edge without any of the mentioned features than at a site with a 5 % house edge that pays for these features. agree! lower the house edge to 2-3% and remove all referral commissions but keep reward point program running for the sole benefit of the user himself I bet our favourite "thread's fan" will start screaming a different tone, he will start demanding wetsuit to put back the referral commission system

It's good to be this busy. I've got the village idiot on ignore but I guess he's got his tin foil hat on again. We're not based in the US and in the US regulators own words their jurisdiction only extends to sites that 'operate mostly within the US'. My role will not involve any programming as wetsuit wants me to take over all the day to day running tasks so he has more time to do development and strategy.
agree! lower the house edge to 2-3% and remove all referral commissions but keep reward point program running for the sole benefit of the user himself I bet our favourite "thread's fan" will start screaming a different tone, he will start demanding wetsuit to put back the referral commission system You've got it right in that reducing the house edge would mean removing something else. We're happy we have the balance correct at the moment and will not be changing that.

I support this. The site is working perfectly and there are thousands and thousands of satisfied customers, and changing anything in this situation would be a mistake imo. It's the new appearing sites who have to try with different approaches changing them constantly until they come up with something which satisfy many users. Freebitco.in has done that in the past and ended up with a great working model which should rather be studied by others than criticized.

I second that I think Wetsuit fine tuned this operation to the tee and any change in the house edge will unbalance the whole thing. Let's rather accept that a higher house edge is necessary to cross fund other features on the site and be done with it. We do not want a lower house edge with less features, right? Freebitco.in is a streamlined engine and too many tinkering will cause damage to the well oiled gears of the operation.

But yeah in some ways it probably is quite streamlined, I think giving 0.4% of what is wagered is quite high but if it works then fine (I'd be up for the idea of reducing the referral bonus since thequin wants to attract noobs who probably won't find this site through others and are more likely to stumble across it in other places and on this forum)...

I disagree. Dropping the house edge will pull the customer base you should be targeting, not the faucet suckers that are sucking the place dry at the moment. Freebitco.in is not a faucet site anymore, so there is no reason why we should add higher referral bonuses to attract these non-gamblers. I think gamblers are looking for sites with the lowest house edge and by dropping the house edge, we would be drawing in the target crowd that we should be targeting.

I disagree with your disagreement. There a few big referral whales that have brought in a huge income to us over the years and they continue to advertise and pull in new customers. I think our turnover numbers compared to the low house edge sites shows that there is a big market for running the site the way we do. Abandoning our successful business model and going to compete in an already overcrowded sector isn't something that's going to happen.

Yes Maybe I'm not a big referral whales that have brought in huge income but I am also a referrer What I feel is that there are no other sites that give a huge referrer income like this But unfortunately botnets have ruined everything I hope freebitco.in finds new innovations to prevent botnets more effectively without reducing referrer income

We actually increased referral commission rates from 0.25% to 0.40% of wagered amount recently. We certainly have no plans to reduce it and I think that if we did it would be unfair to those that have already invested in advertising us. We're constantly working on better ways to combat the cheats and simply having a second person dealing with it is already yielding some good results.

It's like reducing the prices of meals in a well established expensive restaurant at the expense of food quality. Nobody does that, although it may seem like lowering the prices can attract more customers. It's extremely hard to find a good working business model. And once you've found it, you shouldn't make critical changes while it works perfectly.

Onto the topic, I think yes it would be good to see the house edge a bit lower and people would be more interested, if you can get everything with just a 3% edge then that's even better than the 5%. I agree. It's like reducing the prices of meals in a well established expensive restaurant at the expense of food quality.

But when your chef quits you have to change the way you run things to keep up your reputation . I apologise for touching some sort of soft spot here but clearly, reducing the house edge to 3% would make it a greater site to play on and also mean you'd giveaway more lottery tickets, meaning, if people buy them, you go in profit if they try and get the same percentage each round or something.

That's 40% reduction in income. That would mean a 40% reduction in spending. That would mean we were just like all the other sites.

He hasn't quit, he's taken on extra help as his business model works so well it is now too much work for him alone.

Yes, I know that and thank you very much but in the end they will stop playing because they lose or if they win they will stop also to defend their victory, because if they continue to play in the end they will lose also by the house edge because gambling is about probability as you explained before so honestly I prefer new referrals continuously, because as far as my experience new referrals make a much larger contribution and slowly decline until they finally stop. ------------------------------------------------------ what do you mean by "having a second person"?

Not all of them. Some gamble regularly for years on end. what do you mean by "having a second person"?
Me I taking a much more active role so that wetsuit has more time for strategy and development.

There does look to be some delay. I have alerted wetsuit but if that can't be rectified then we will do what we did the last time we had a technical failure on the lottery and refund all the tickets.
