MintDice Bitcoin Casino - SportsBook & Provably Fair Games

[theskillzdatklls]

I see on the footer some exciting news about your website, I see that you are about to add a sports book? That was really great I am excited to see that you will be adding sports betting in your website I would also like to see if you would be having an investment opportunity for some people who wanted to invest in your website since I see in the title that you have a Bitcoin investment.

As far as I can see Mintdice has great plan but the execution is so slow. For the example is the upgrade from v1 to v2, it took very long time if I remember it correctly. Coming up to the plan of adding sports book, I hope they can work harder and faster in it. It is their 3rd year now and they still have so low number of active players (based on the online user stats). However I appreciate their patience as I think other sites would have decided to give up and turn the site off if the traffic for the first 1-2 years is not good enough.

There's a number of reasons why things were slower to start out with. Probably the single biggest reason was that v1 wasn't built very efficiently. v2 is a scalable architecture that should theoretically reduce deployment times by 70% we estimate. v2 came with a number of obvious enhancements to users like a better UI/UX and mobile capabilities, but from a development perspective, it's also just so much better to work with.

I'll say that there has been a lot of development on a wide variety of projects for MintDice. I hope a lot of them can start to get deployed mostly this calendar year and hopefully all launched before 2024, but I don't like making deadlines any more. Especially since it's not under my control. I can only call shots on what I see, as I said earlier, I'm mostly a spokesperson for the website.

I am very curious to know why you not going to have a shot at another Signature campaign? Does it not justify the return on the investment or is it simply too expensive to compete with the big boys that are offering very competitive signature campaigns.

Feedback will be appreciated.... because it will help to improve the experience that companies have on this forum with these signature campaigns. I did not see your previous Signature campaign to know if you had a reputable campaign manager or if you did this on your own.  

Not worth the time or money. If MintDice ends up being successful, it'll be because it has a superior quality product to serve and will gain customers organically. If it can't win on that merit alone and requires mechanisms like this that I don't really care to spend any time or money on, then that's ok.

We have a lot of really cool games and products we've wanted to launch that have been written since 2019. Getting them to production has been the difficult part. If people think they are cool, then the market can speak for itself.

The marketing that we will use in the future won't be nothing, as we have some plans, but it won't come until MintDice is a more completed website and it would come from different directions than signature campaigns.

[theskillzdatklls]

I finally have some time so I'm going to write up a roadmap for MintDice.

A lot has been produced over the past year or two, but it isn't that exciting as it hasn't changed much over the overall functionality for MintDice. A lot of our same Provably Fair legacy games continue to exist without any new major changes to them. That will change over the upcoming two years (approximately), giving our users some things to be quite excited about.


#0 Enhanced Layout
Kind of a non-function, but worth listing, v2 was mostly launched as a proof of function. The platforms look and feel will be getting a really cool, hip upgrade. Call it v2.1 I suppose when it comes out.


#1 Licensed Games
While we really wanted to have a 100% Provably Fair website, the market has moved on and for a variety of reasons that aren't entirely worth getting into presently, we are mostly forced into adding in licensed (closed source, non-provably fair) games. The development on our Licensed Games are extremely close to production. So you should really be expecting these sooner than later.

And while we will offer a suite of games through them, we will still commit extremely hard to maintaining and upgrading our current Provably Fair games and we will use Provably Fair technology for all of our future in-house games of skill and games of chance whenever possible as a firm commitment from MintDice to our users.

We are strong believers in fairness, openness and privacy but unfortunately this isn't always possible in every case. We will let the users decide for themselves though, between a large suite of games with flashy and high quality graphics or our in-house, Provably Fair and low house-edge games.


#2 SportsBook:
This kind of comes naturally with the Licensed Games. They are coming from the same provider but it is a bit distinct since it will be rolled out separately. The Licensed Games will roll out first and the SportsBook will come at a later stage. Once the Licensed Games are rolled out, a lot of development will be poured specifically into getting the SportsBook launched.

I'll add that our SportsBook will use completely custom native bespoke architecture to give a seamless MintDice experience when using our SportsBook or other games - the slow and expensive, but better way, of building out a casino. So you can look forward to that from us


#3 Altcoins
We are planning on rolling out the major needed altcoins onto MintDice. This will include, for now, ETH, BCH, LTC, DOGE & DASH. It may include BNB. And obviously it will change over time to meet the ongoing demands of the market. We are fairly committed to only launching coins that we feel have an extremely high degree of likelihood of existing 5+ years from now rather than speculating on coins that may combust leaving us in an awkward situation with users having either made deposits or investments with such currencies.


#4 VIP Rewards
We have a whole system built out for both onsite rewards and cash rewards for our players that are permanent. Furthermore, they are fully retroactive, both past and present. So any play that has occurred on your MintDice accounts will qualify your account. If you have played historically, you may have free crypto waiting for you depending on how much you've played once the VIP program launches in addition to added site functionalities.


#5 Unique In-House Provably Fair Games of Skill
I was the inventor of these two games. It's inherently difficult to build games of skill these days because there's some serious concerns between AI/botting, player liquidity, collusion, difficulty of rules, difficulty of skill, amount of luck and so forth. Granted, I think I've come up with two very distinct and compelling games when they finally make it to production on MintDice.

They will use exclusively Provably Fair technology when possible. They have a fully built graphical interface and are mobile compatible. While I don't want to go into details on either game, they are each called "Pyramid" and "Castle Royale". Pyramid will be launching before Castle Royale.

On a personal note, I'm personally particularly interested in Castle Royale that I think will be extremely interesting and fun for the poker player / sports betting types out there as a retired former professional poker player.


#6 Unique New In-House Provably Fair Game of Chance
We will be adding a 5th game of chance to MintDice that will be very unique relative to other games of chance out there that I think the community might find very compelling. I won't go into details until it's either very close to or at production, similar to the other games.

I suspect that this will be the last Provably Fair game of chance that we build for a long time, if ever. If we were to want to put in more resources in this domain, we'd just expand upon and improve the current suite of games we already have since there's a lot of desirable upgrades we could add to any of the current games.


#7 Marketing / Promotions / Bonuses
As was alluded to earlier, there will be some forms of marketing, promotions and bonuses for players. This will come once the MintDice product matures a bit more. So stay tuned for that.


#8 To be continued...
MintDice is an evolving product. There's a whole host of other things we have planned but I don't want us to get too far ahead of ourselves here. I can do another roadmap in a year or two once things have deployed and we have more information relative to the market.


Any questions, feel free to ask. I only wish to avoid questions relating to time. I am only fairly confident that the Licensed Games will be launching very soon. Everything else should be rolling out in due course, and hopefully faster than was historically the case

you have an nice roadmap but something is still a bit too late or is in your plans, that is free coin/rain chat. the sportsbook will definitely attract more users as the majority of gamblers are sports bettors, good luck with your planning going forward.

This will be better if you can include a target date for that big update that you reveal today to excite user on what’s coming for Mintdice in the following years. VIP rewards, Promotions and Sportsbook is the trend on the current market right now. It’s really good to see your goal fits to the current demand of Casino industry. I’m a long time user of the Casino when dice games is still popular. I hope you can execute this upgrade as soon as possible.

Maybe take into consideration a casino token for dividend sharing for users. This will create more supporters and exposure to your Casino.

Here they are still working and Edge this site is still active and they also have a lot of players and if it is not confirmed whether they are here then I do not say what is still canceled here but it is an update in support of the canceled website  And there are still a lot of tidal sites that offer re-broadcasts. I think these sites are much safer than playing racquets.

There's a lot of exciting news and roadmap here MintDice! It is nice that you also considering having a license even though you are 100% provably fair casino and the sports book, I cant wait for it! and since you will be adding a lot of coins have you considered web 3.0 so we can connect our wallets through your website?

I think it could go into number 8, which will continue because if one site has shown good results, they will work even harder to achieve the next result and will not stop and be satisfied. After the arrival of web 3.0 in the gambling industry, it seems that this will be a new trend on gambling sites that have not implemented web 3.0, so if they are observant of seeing trends, they can add them shortly, especially using web 3.0 will make it easier for gamblers to link their wallets directly to that gambling site.

[safari88]

I see the Pyramid and Power Mint game before and until now it is not yet opened they are included in your roadmap but I was hoping to see more games such as roulette and how about casino games including live tables games? Are you also considering on adding that?

All you are looking for is under the category of #1 Licensed Games since this game are close source from different game providers which the moderator didn’t elaborate but I strongly believe that’s the 3rd party games since most of there in-house games has a probably fair code available. There development phase was very slow before maybe due to some issue on funds. They are planning to implement this roadmap for a span of 2 years so don’t expect that all this feature will be add consecutively.

I think maybe they could prioritize this also since they don't want to think that players to look at their website getting left behind since we know that there's a lot of competitors right now and most of them already upgraded to web 3.0 but I don't see yet that most people like it but for me it is good to integrate web 3.0 to gambling site rather than the traditional login and signup.

you have an nice roadmap but something is still a bit too late or is in your plans, that is free coin/rain chat. the sportsbook will definitely attract more users as the majority of gamblers are sports bettors, good luck with your planning going forward.

Good roadmap yes, but it should be followed up by good work as well. Hope the mintdice team can work for it effectively, efficiently, and professionally to make the roadmap come true on time. Sportsbook alone is not a guarantee that it will attract more users because there are many sportsbook out there. Being competitive is the key to attract more users. It can be competitive odds, competitive offers, and other things. Without being competitive, sportsbook will bring nothing.

You are right, the competitiveness here is a factor that cannot be left behind, also here in the forum there are many sites that offer a lot of benefits for the players who join, ranging from a small faucet to obtaining other types of benefits when they join. complies with a prior deposit, in this case when talking about the roadmap it is imperative that it is complied with, not only will it be possible to see the effectiveness of the entire team and project but it is a guarantee that any player can feel safe, because Complying with the roadmap is an indication of responsibility.

That's true there are some new gambling sites that competes with reputable gambling sites and sports book will not guarantee that and promotion not with a proper advertisement and execution of what they have on the roadmap. Adding NFT and Web 3.0 would possibly a good thing too not only it is easier for some users but you would be able to support a lot of coins already not just BTC, ETH, USDT and other major cryptocurrency.

Doesn't matter how much money these new places have, it's never enough to gain the reputation big places of the old times have. Mintdice have been a bit of lacking these days that's true, they have been a bit more silent, I am sure they are doing "alright" for themselves, but the reality is that money is a very hard thing to find and making big marketing budget out of nothing is not possible neither.

This is why I do not believe that we should be focusing on anything specific right now. If they could find some funds, develop a bit further and do a bit of marketing they have enough history with them that people would trust mintdice way more than any new place would be trusted.

As long they are operational and there are people who do stay and play with the site then thats already a solid proof or evidence that they are doing well despite of lacking with some marketing.

Each business does need to allocate certain budget for that but not all would really be capable in doing so due to limited funds and they would rather be spending those funds in other aspects
like ex. enhancing the site more in terms or changes and fixes rather than on exposure.

Who would be the one who doesnt like to make out some exposure but if your budget doesnt permits you then you would really be just on that line.

I agree, and they are operational and have been for a while. However, if you are a proper casino then the logical thing would be whatever cent you have should go towards marketing. This place deals with investors of course, which means that the returns are even smaller most probably but the risk is less as well.

I do hope that they could make some profit, like even if they deal with 0.1 bitcoin per day marketing that could grow them. When they reach to a super high place where they make like 1 btc per day profit, they could reconsider improving the website. Right now even 10$ should go to marketing and keeping the place going.

I do believe they have the funds but I think they have their own priority to-do lists. As far as I remember, their bankroll was more than 300btc when I was still playing and I just checked it few seconds ago, their current bankroll is more than 250btc. I do also believe they have other funds outside the bankroll but for sure they have their own preferences on how/what to spend.

I do hope that they could make some profit, like even if they deal with 0.1 bitcoin per day marketing that could grow them. When they reach to a super high place where they make like 1 btc per day profit, they could reconsider improving the website. Right now even 10$ should go to marketing and keeping the place going.

Under the investment page, their current profit is around 0.4btc but I'm not sure this number is overall profit since they started the site 2 years ago. If the 0.4btc profit is the overall profit for 2 years, I cant say that the traffic is just too low for a casino.

MintDice has had a free Bitcoin faucet and rain for years now. They are rather generous compared to other sites, but we have had to scale back its generosity over the years because there is limitless abuse out there which is unfortunate (for the longest time, over a year, I think our Bitcoin faucet gave 100 sats).

The free rewards will magnify with the VIP rewards.

Yes exactly the comment here, this would be number 8. We've wanted to do interesting things with the lightning network or more broadly, web3 stuff. But it's easier for us to work on other things at the moment, develop MintDice and then get around to this type of thing once the space has matured a little more as well.

I see the Pyramid and Power Mint game before and until now it is not yet opened they are included in your roadmap but I was hoping to see more games such as roulette and how about casino games including live tables games? Are you also considering on adding that?

Also mostly correct response here as well. Roulette and other standard table games can be provided by the Licensed Games, including live games.

Web3 would be nice in theory because it would fit in with our main goal which is to provide the fairest solution possible to the end consumer. Provably Fair technology is one thing, but allowing control of assets as well to the end user simultaneously would be getting close to the holy grail of gambling.

All of that is easier said than done. And similar to many other aspects of the website, they will all magnify in use based on the underlying technology. Specifically, if we are able to develop all of the games and then add in web3, the web3 component will be more useful and powerful once it does launch

The ETA on that would be years off though, so I wouldn't get too excited on that for the time being.

As long they are operational and there are people who do stay and play with the site then thats already a solid proof or evidence that they are doing well despite of lacking with some marketing.

Marketing isn't useless, it's just personally to us, if we had a total budget of say $100 to work with, we'd rather allocate the majority, if not all, of that $100 towards making MintDice a better website than spending say $50 towards making it a better website and $50 towards marketing. At least presently.

Marketing does have it's purposes though. If one has an extremely good website but no one is aware that it exists, then that's not the best scenario. That said, we hope that as development progresses, the website can do a lot of the speaking for itself and will gain more efficient exposure from the marketing that does take place on MintDice's side.

You are right in what you say, if we start to think that everything that has to do with the expenditure of the budget of the casinos in marketing, the range is very high, those who have to carry out signature campaigns, that execution of funds, always generates good results and also a lot of exposure.

In other threads I have seen that there are casinos that focus much more on advertising and marketing than on RTP itself and in fact there is an open discussion, where some platforms sacrifice RTP for marketing. But I think as my personal opinion that these decisions are made due to the budget that is available, and there must be a good balance between RTP and marketing, I think that is the secret of success.
