I have never ever blamed anyone for being suspicious. This space is full of scammers. We're trying hard to show that we're not one of these people.
The pot currently consists of roughly 2.3 BTC, that is the sum of all bets that player have placed. 98% of that will be paid out to the winners.
Since yesterday, we're offering 10k satoshi for free betting to anyone interested who is following us on Twitter. In addition, there is a 10% deposit bonus available up to 100k satoshi.
The game is picking up.
It's nice that you're thinking of ways to gain trust, but I gotta be honest that the pot looks really weird. There's vangiemeneses26 with 0.0001, but the rest of that money is put in by philjones, george, and empire making a ton of equally expensive transactions (0.01 or 0.005)... It just doesn't look like human behavior to me, I don't know... Anyone else finding it strange?
Why aren't you considering an escrow service to which you could give the equivalent of the pot? There are highly reputable people who do that on this forum. This would ensure that you are not going to take the money yourself since if you do that, there's your money that can be delivered to a winner instead. I don't know, I think there must be a way to truly make it a reputable thing.
