⚡️⚡️Betplay.io - Lightning Network Casino - INSTANT & ZERO FEE Payments ⚡️⚡️

[TimeTeller]

What you are organizing looks very interesting, in view of the fact that you want to establish better communication with your customers, do you have plans to spread the word? That is, a social media campaign, signature campaign?

This helps a lot to attract potential customers, and here in the forum the community of players is very large.

Hi, yes we have been looking into different methods of spreading our word. This forum is of course one of them, we have heard of signature campaigns but we were not quite sure how/if it works. We will definitely look deeper into that, thanks for the advise! And i hope you will try out our promotion, let me know what you think of it

Signature  campaign will only be effective when you have sufficient budget to hire top tier quality poster here since competition is very tough here in the forum for crypto casino industry. Having a good promotion such as free rolland exclusive tournament is much effective to attract real user if you have tight budget. There's a lot of players here that didn't wear signature code from campaign.

They can think of contests also among players, that can trigger their interest and stay long on their site.
Because with sig campaign and if you have tight budget, there is no assurance that you will achieve your goals.
Also, are you going to add other coins other than bitcoin?
I know, people are complaining about high fees of btc and now that there is casino using LN, it seems not so much are interested.
Maybe one reason, is not many people are acquainted or comfortable using LN.
So one suggestion is if you can add other alts with cheaper fees like TRX/LTC, if that is possible from your end.

You are right, a signature campaign is excellent, especially if the payouts are high, tournaments are also much more attractive, but that is already a matter of how they evaluate it in the team, within the forum when tournaments are organized they are very popular, As Betnomi is currently doing through a great campaign manager, the participation is incredible, Betplay.io has all the possibilities on the table, it is a casino that has great growth every time, whatever they put I´m sure they will succeed.

We are happy to announce support for bitcoin deposits & withdrawals using Liquid Network at Betplay.io. Given the increasing fees and mempool in the main chain we want to offer our users faster & cheaper payment options and seeing how well Bitcoin Lightning is working we think this can be a great complement to that for users who prefer using Liquid instead.

you have a good improvement when create deposits using Liquid network, some people didn't how it works cause this little bit different from the lightning network. better to you create on FAQ also in the website.

you use (uBTC) or called you-bit btc. I also suggest you add currency setting (uBTC) to another unit such as satoshi to avoid confusion by beginer.

Great advise, thank you!

⚡️Betplay.io now live! ⚡️



Hi all,

We have just gone live with our brand new Crypto currency casino, Betplay.io!

We are the industry first to announce ⚡️Bitcoin Lightning Payment⚡️, this means that you can now both deposit and withdraw your money in seconds!

Welcome to Bitcointalk.org Forum Guys and I was just checked the site now and this amazed me because My kind is just starting to Learn Lightning Network and while you are accepting this then I'll be trying my chance to learn this.

Great stuff! It's very easy to learn, and once you have, it will make your gaming session a lot quicker, smoother and cheaper!

[Bsteelman]

Tested out the site and it's really fast and had a good slot selection. LN was instant on both deposit and withdrawal.

[nakamura12]

Welcome to bitcointalk forum. I'll check it out.

finally, I have something to do with my bitcoin lightning network. I will test your platform.
however, I think it would be better if you could move this thread to the gambling section.

That's good for the casino owner since you will test their site voluntarily compared to paid to test their casino and also good for other people who might get interested trying out the site and they'll know about your review. We all have different likes about a casino so opinions will differ.

This isn't true. See Lightning Network Stores for a long list of online casinos that accepted Bitcoin LN before your site existed.
Yours is the first site I've seen that offers Liquid deposits though, but since I've never used it, I can't test it.

Other thoughts/suggestions:

• I like that the site just works in a Tor browser, without captcha. However, in said Tor browser, the BTC-symbol doesn't show:
  

  ~ up to 50,000 u₿. Withdrawals ~

• In the same browser, the deposit QR-code doesn't work. I've seen the same problem on another site, but I also know a site where it works. It would be great if you can fix this (I only have LN-wallets on mobile, so I had to create a QR-code by myself now)
• Amounts are shown as uBTC and UBTC. The correct name would be μBTC, but "bits" is much more common.
• The email-confirmation for a near-instant LN-deposit is excessive.
• You're asking for "your wallet address", which doesn't really exist in Bitcoin LN. The wording can be improved.
• When withdrawing, a "max"-button would be nice.

I deposited 5 bits, played one round of roulette, won, and wanted to withdraw. I see this:

Create a new invoice with open amount. Do not reuse an invoice. Do not specify amount in the invoice.

I'm used to specifying an amount in my payment request, but this seems to work from Phoenix Wallet too.
After withdrawing 7.5 bits, nothing arrived in my wallet, even though the site says it was successful.
I used this LN payment request:

Code:

I've never before experienced a "successful" LN-payment that didn't arrive. Can you check this on your end?

[Betplay Group]

Hi LoyceV
Thank your for testing our the site and giving some really good feedback!

In regards to being first, most sites offering gambling that had lightning only offered one or two games. We don't really consider this to be a casino where you have slots, table games, live casino games, virtual racing etc. I guess you could argue that definition but that's way we see it.

The thought & suggestions are really good; email, wording and max button will be addressed shortly. It would be nice to fully support TOR, we don't have too much experience with it but it might be something we can look at in the near future.

Micro should really be μ as you say, in the games though we can't really control it as it comes from game providers. But on the site we can, so we will change it  

Regarding the LN withdraw, we got an error from our node that it was unable to route the payment ("Unable to find a path to destination"). We have seen this happen a handful of times and it is always when using Phoenix Wallet for withdrawals. I am not sure exactly why, I know the dev team have been in contact with the developers on Phoenix to try and sort it out but so far it still seems to happen. Your withdraw was eventually resolved and money was returned. The routing issue happens after a payment has been approved, which is why you got an approved message but actual funds failed to route. This happens very rarely, but we will look into to trying to make sure the routing was successful before notifying the player in the future.

We never had a routing issue with Wallet of Satoshi or Blue Wallet for instance, so I don't really want to recommed to switch wallet - but they seem to work better for some reason, maybe Phoenix wallet being non-custodial makes routing in to the wallet more complicated

Please add sports betting option. And You will be the first sportsbook with lighting payments.

[Betplay Group]

We are looking at options for sports betting

I've used Wallet of Satoshi and BlueWallet too, they all have their pros and cons. Phoenix Wallet needs to be online to receive the payment, and I tried to make it go online several times last night. I think the LN-transaction just has to keep trying for a while.

As for the "unable to find a path" error: I've seen that before when sending a transaction. It would be great if your website can show that message instead of "success", so the user can just try something else.

Custodial wallets use a well-connected node that's online all the time, while Phoenix Wallet needs to actually be online to receive a transaction. And Android probably tries to make it sleep whenever it's on the background. LN is easier to send than receive a transaction as a user.
I tried to use BlueWallet, but I don't think it allows to request a payment without an amount, and your site specifically asks for a payment request without amount specified. Is that really needed, or would a pre-set amount work too? I like how Lightning-Roulette.com does it: I set the amount in my payment request instead of on the site, and they send whatever I requested.

I now used tippin.me to withdraw. That worked.

[Betplay Group]

I don't really have any further details on the Phoenix issue that happens, but I know that the payment team have been talking directly with the Phoenix guys to try and sort it out.

If you enter the same amount in the invoice as in the withdraw then it will work as well. But if they mismatch then the payment will be failed and refunded to your player account.

Will take a look again at Blue Wallet, if not possible to not enter amount then maybe we need to amend the instructions to leave amount open or enter the same amount.

[cryptoperkele]

Are you planning to add "mining" for players to get dividends at some point? I would be interested. Also it seems to be a great marketing trick considering how well others have done with that. Also do you have any public roadmap or community telegram channel?

[Betplay Group]

Hi Cryptoperkele (Finnish I presume?  )
There is no official roadmap right now, but we are currently working on a VIP level & bonus program that we hope to roll out in a couple of weeks

I'm afraid we don't have any mining and it's not on the roadmap right now anyway.

You have always opened the channel and open the peer, this means 24/7 should be online.


Hi @Betplay Group, I also find buy crypto option on your deposit page, and the user can buy another altcoin such as ethereum, usdt, ripple and etc. where you send the coin after bought it?, cause I didn't find another altcoin wallet such as btc, doge and ltc in the user wallet.

Is there no minimum deposit for the Lightning network? cause I can't find 5 bits in the option deposit.

Hi DroomieChikito,
When you buy crypto there will a page with an address input. The address input will be prefilled with your address at Betplay.io, but you can manually change it to another address if you prefer.


5 bits is the minimum for LN deposits. The option buttons will adapt to your previous deposit amounts, but you can always enter a custom amount manually in the amount input field. Looking at this right I see that the min/max help text has disappeared when entering an amount outside of the range so we need to fix that obviously.

any contests or promotional activities coming up on your platform aside from the VIP & bonus programs on the works? simple contest programs may attract some interest to play on your site. i believe not many gamblers are familiar dealing with LN the reason why it is hard to get players. though you have other alts now.

[Chikito]

I know in the past when LN just appeared, we can easily take earned 1-5 sat by doing a task or airdropping. but I don't really sure it's still working such as https://microlancer.io/ . by doing the task we can earn some satoshi and playing with Betplay. Maybe doing some task, Betplay should be listing it there or just create a games and around here to test the website using LN. it will get many players to just testing and joining your site, this for my suggestion also.

[Betplay Group]

Hi AmoreJaz and DroomieChikito,
Thank you for the suggestion! Actually we are seeing a lot of players using Lightning Network, in fact we are now getting more deposits via LN than regular on-chain BTC deposits. This also applies to unique users so we are not just seeing a lot of LN deposits for a few users.

We were taken a bit by surprise by the rapid adoption and increase of LN payments actually. When we launched we figured we were still a bit early to the party, but right now it seems we were just in time. No doubt LN adoption has been accelerated by the extremely high fees we saw a couple of weeks back so that turned out to be a bit of a crisitunity for us 

Liquid Bitcoin on the other hand is still a sleeper it seems
