Yeah, we don't need to trust it, you're new, the site is 6 days old and the thing you've just said in this thread was totally a "No" to try to. By the way, having no free spin was totally a huge NO too.

[goaldigger]

This is not a good marketing strategy and I don't know if you're part of the team or what but this is a big NO for me and honestly, I didn't bother myself clicking that link, its scary. Anyway, we all want the truth but this is not good casinos work and having a poor introduction into this forum can't attract gamblers, that's too risky for us.

Can not understand correctly the title and the descriptions. What do you man by "don't need to trust"?  

I visited the site and see the design is not enough good. And if I am not wrong site only accept ethereum payment method. So it should be moved to service announcement.

[Haunebu]

Are you affiliated with Honest99? Do you honestly expect anyone to be remotely interested in the site that you are advertising thanks to the poor ANN presentation and the nonsensical title op? Were you even sober when you created this thread?

The title of the site needs to be renamed to Dishonest99 instead for accuracy sake. This is basically pointless advertising overall.

No "register with google"
No "1000 free spins"
Open-sourced, 100% decentralized
No BS, only truth

Domain registered on 9 Feb 2021 and for only one year! The contract address holds only 0.183 ETH. Players need to choose a number between 0 - 99 so the winning probability is very less for one player unless multiple bets are placed! The bet amount is also variable.

Please understand player's psychology. People play to win. When the probability is so low, I doubt anyone will be interested in testing their luck!

I dont even see if this site was registered because I can't find information on ( https://who.is/ )website.

Can validate how can we determine the words you have "No BS, only truth" , to whom we can contact if there is a problem on that site since you have said it is decentralized and also, this is a bitcoin gambling community, not the altcoin.

It's a really strange gambling site, it will not I guess lure gambler even just to try it.

even if you check in whois.net, it says this site may be for sale. no info as well. players should think twice placing their bets on this site.
as others have pointed out, he has only 0.183eth in this addy , so right now, maybe, he's trying to lure some naive bettors and once he gets something, this site will disappear.

[Tstar]

The whole concept is BS:

"Choose a number between 0 and 99 and place a bid in ETH

If your guess was correct, get x66 of your bid"

For 1 of 99 we age getting x66 odds? Thanks, but nope.

And the current fees are (almost) larger than you have in the smart contract

[Kakmakr]

Lots of these going around at the moment, with the same concept. I think they hang around while the small bets are done and then execute a long con, when they hooked enough small fish. 

The domain is a throw away and brand new and as one of the previous posters said... "It's for Sale" ....so they just shift the blame..when they are caught out.

Buy a decent .com domain and then host it for a few months ....then we talk again, once we have seen that your site is trustworthy.

How can you accommodate all players if your total funds are just $500 as you mentioned here:
https://senior-joinu.medium.com/i-built-an-ethereum-based-decentralized-casino-1e78fa8f8231

Currently, you are working alone and also mentioned that you will just find a team once your casino got a nice profit.

How can you reach all customers concern with only you as a staff?

You should just open later on after everything is now ready like a good website, good promotions, a good team, and those other basic important things to start.

[btcgrin-vic]

Looks like a hit&run kinda site, lol.

[Vaskiy]

Something has been tried to show them unique among the rest of the service providers. Maybe they weren't aware of the competence, if not surely they won't get into such a kind of marketing with No's. Anyhow nothing is clear with the description and directly it requests to connect with the wallet. Everyone be cautious, if you've got some plan to give it a try.

[Strongkored]

Thanks for warning us not to trust LOL.
Apart from the ANN Thread which far from a good, also the payment provided will be one of the reasons players are reluctant to use your web to play because ETH is one of the Coins whose network fees is expensive, of course the player will choose another Coin with low fees but unfortunately it is not here.

[passwordnow]

Your announcement thread looks vague and unappealing. You can make it better if you apply tell what are the others of your casino has. You can have an inspiration from the other threads that you can see on this section. It's your choice on how to make your thread design appealing and encouraging to read for the gamblers and potential customers that you're attracting. And the title of the topic, it's sort of a twist that you want appeal to be curious about? I don't think that's a good header.

[imstillthebest]

the name of the casino is honest but why you dont want us to try that . if the casino is officially live it will be showned in google but there is no such thing as registered in google .
google is not licensing gambling casinos . they are telling the truth about this casino because there is no bs 1000 free spins or any freebies that have a hard condition to complete . decentralized and open source is what makes this casino extra honest

Hey there. Wow, I didn't even expected so much attention to this thread at all.
Thank you for your feedback, but please, don't be so toxic to me.

Yes, I'm working on this project completely alone. I don't have investors or a team behind my back. So, I don't have money to make the site look pretty. Or to buy a bunch of .com/.org/.io domains. Or to fill the prize fund with some decent amount of money. I just simply can't afford it. But I can write nice code and develop some nice simple algorithms.

This casino is 100% safe to use.
You want source code to check it yourself - here it is https://github.com/Casino-Honest-99/phase1
You want technical explanation of how it works - here you are https://hackernoon.com/building-an-ethereum-based-decentralized-casino-how-i-did-it-az1p33bx
You want some place to roast me in public - you are welcome https://twitter.com/Joinu9
You want to try it out, but don't risk your money - just switch your connected chain to Kovan in Metamask and do it

It is called "the casino you don't need to trust" because it is 100% decentralized and not owned by me or anybody. It is just a single (and very easy-to-understand) smart-contract deployed on Ethereum.
Yes, there is a function for me to migrate capital to some other address in case if the contract need updates - but everybody has a function like this. Without it, in case of update it will be impossible to transfer money to a new contract.
Yes, it sends me 3% of each prize - but this is the only way for me to attract talent, build a team (each of which needs a salary) and make this casino better in future.

You don't need to trust it, because you just can check it yourself.

If you don't believe in x66 wages - I can do a little math for you right here, but you can also just simply google "expected value game theory" and check it yourself.


Yesterday was my "launch" day. I was working on this project for like 4 months and yesterday I've created a couple of posts on Reddit, most of which was automatically blocked leaving me hanging. I was sad, searching Google like "how should I promote my blockchain casino". The article (https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-best-way-to-promote-a-new-bitcoin-gambling-site) said that this forum is an appropriate place for doing this. So I did.

So, please, stop roasting me. Yes, I was not right not providing enough context in this thread for you to believe me. I'm sorry.
But my casino is good.

[joinu14]

Here is the proof that I actually own this domain.

Yes, you're right. Thank you for your feedback.

The idea of this casino is not to make everyone a winner. The idea is to make algorithmically fair casino, that is fair to all of it's players. Nobody can make money out of void. Yes, the chance is pretty low, but the prize is also high.
Now it is x66. So, putting there 1 dollar will evaluate in a 66 dollars prize, if you're lucky.

Why it is not x99? It will be. If you check the smart-contract's code, you'll see, that after the prize fund will accumulate at least 400 ethers it will automatically switch to x99.
Why 400 ethers? Because the maximum prize for such a casino is around 200 ethers (check my technical explanation article to know why). And in Honest99 you only can win a half of the prize fund at one time (otherwise somebody just could empty the casino while it's young and doesn't hold a lot of money in the prize fund).

I understand that players want easy money. But this casino is a representation of the real-life fact that if you want a quick money, but want to earn them honestly, you have to be lucky. Without any "YAY WE GOT FREE-SPINS AND WE'RE FAIR 100%, BUT NO PROOFS THOUGH, JUST BELIEVE US WE HAVE A NICE LANDING PAGE" nonsense.

I could make it 1/10 chance to win x9. And maybe I will one day if there will be demand for such a change.

If @OP can add more coins, I think he can still promote his website because I see only ethereum used to gamble. While the ethereum price now is at a high price, maybe many gamblers do not want to use ethereum to gamble. They will choose the other altcoins that do not need to pay a high fee and use too big money in ethereum to play any gambling games. But maybe some gamblers who have a lot of ethereum amount to still playing gambling.
