Introducing Block Party Poker

[FloppyNutzs]

I'd like to drop the info on brand new poker site that I've been working on that is now opening up for BETA testing

https://blockpartypoker.com

Come play for free using bitcoin testnet coins.
Have fun with friends and make some new ones while you chat and play poker.

The poker server is running latest version of Poker Mavens Gold.

The website and services are developed and maintained by myself with some help of a peer developer along the way.

We are looking for users to help test out some of our features before going live with real cryptocurrency.
Right now the site offers basic functionally to allow you to register, deposit and withdraw.

We have plans to add more features to allow users to create private tournaments and cash game.
We are also open to suggestions to other features you would like to see.

My commitment to the poker community:
You will never pay rake - site will operate through funds collected from donations and service offerings
More freezeout/bounty type tournaments - rebuy, add on, and late registration options are still possible but will not be our main focus as those are really just traps collect more rake
Fun and friendly environment

You should post on the Services and give a little incentive for those testers that are willing to check out your poker site.

It wouldn't need a lot of money but you're only getting a crowd to survey on what they think about your poker site. You give them a small reward or appreciation once they're done and also giving them free credits for the testing for the feedback and review.

Tried accessing your site, but it never loaded successfully initially though it loaded properly after trying repeatedly again and again due to which my first impressions of your site are pretty bad op.

Your site performance needs to improve asap in my opinion. Also, the site design is way too simple and also needs to be improved.

[Yogee]

I had the same experience with Haunebu when opening the site. It shouldn't be that long to load considering how simple it looks right now.

...You will never pay rake - site will operate through funds collected from donations and service offerings

This sounds good but do you think this is sustainable? Don't get me wrong. It's a nice way to attract players but your platform is new and it looks like you have a very small team handling it. How do you think you'll get donations and buyers of your service offerings?

[MI6]

It would be very difficult to get players, especially because it is a new site and you do not hold a valid gaming license?
Or do you have any plans to do so?

[markk1]

Playing poker candy wrappers is boring, let's get real no deposit.

[hopenotlate]

How are you planning to make it a sustainable business if you are not going to get any rake/fee? How will you cover your hosting, mantainance , developing and whatever kind of expenses involvend in running and keeping it active?
Also to create a maintain a user base you will need some proper marketing actions that will require some money as well.

In the long run most poker rooms close their doors because profit < costs. This is due to the fact that if you want to become a serious player in this field you need to make sure to make "funds are safu". This is connected to a high investment.

Same experience where it do loads up too long even though i do have 100Mbps connection which is already a minus.You would really be needing to have lots of refresh before accessing this site.

When you do make refresh again then i do end up on a loading loop.

This has been done by many new gambling site, and its effective to attract gamblers and to help the new site to know some problems that may occur along the road, however I doubt that OP will do this since they are running through the funds from donations based on the OP statement and he’s running this site alone with a little help.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I already made the registration, confirmed my email and entered, I see that there are two open tournaments, but they require 250microBTC, I imagine that we will have to wait for several users to register to start the tournament, if so, could OP publish a schedule to enter?



It would be nice if I could fix the platform with the bright color combination, there are many users who like to see strong colors, depending on how it is right now for me it is fine.

Plain maven poker software? I thought I wont see any new sites using this software because there were too many poker sites uses this software and most of them failed to survive. First it is hard to get poker players and secondly you are using a basic poker maven software which is not that attractive for 2021. Indeed, you may survive if you know how to attract players but if you dont have something special then sorry to say that you will need to struggle very hard.

This is not to discourage OP but of course, we just want to see a more innovative poker site and this statement is just based on many poker site before that failed because of being the same and not competitive enough to survive. If OP wants to attract players, its also good to invest some money on marketing this project.

That's good to see someone trying the site, maybe I can also try to registration but I'm still afraid to deposit money. Maybe if there's more players waiting for the others, I'll enter too. Fix schedule should be publish, this can be a good guide for the players.

Yes, it is effective because they will be getting the attention of their target customers and at the same time, they will be known for that for doing such surveys.

They will save cost from the possible trouble that they might experience in the future by not finding out troubles and bugs that might be exploited by any of their customer. But in their case, they still dont have much players.

it seems like the website is still inaccessible to some users. @OP its been days since the issue has been brought up, are you planning on fixing this issue? for those who might think that it might be my internet. not it is not, I can access other sites just fine except for this one.

I tried checking the site again and faced similar loading issues which I detailed in my earlier post. Horrible performance issues. Also, op hasn't tried to resolve all of our queries and has been inactive.

Due to these issues, I suggest avoiding this site completely since there are far better legit alternatives out there.

Me either.
I guess there is a website fixing but it should have an announcement here, but nothing we could see.

The site was created through godaddy.com and it was registered on 2021-01-17, so it really fresh gambling site that shouldn't trust.
I hope there is no stuck money from users there, this is the reason why I didn't use newly open gambling sites because they are not capable to trust your money.

[Poker Player]

I have been playing poker online regularly for many years and the crypto rooms I have seen are much worse than the fiat ones. I understand that a project starts with a small thing and takes steps but what you are commenting about this project does not encourage me to visit the room. It sounds like a botched job.

What I do hope is that someday rooms like Pokerstars or Pacific start accepting Bitcoin.

but at least if they will Give incentives of course , because if not then what they will get is BS testing and no legit testing that will be conducted .

This is actually a Job to offer and since it's a Job there must be even small compensation by giving small token of appreciation , at least free bets ?

They will save cost from the possible trouble that they might experience in the future by not finding out troubles and bugs that might be exploited by any of their customer. But in their case, they still dont have much players.

That's it so they must Give some small payments for this Bug hunting , because even Big gambling sites experienced Bugs along the way and even some becomes controversial .
