Paddleboat Mississippi, new poker site with low fees and good privacy

[paddleboat]

After a year in development I've launched my Bitcoin poker site, Paddleboat Mississippi. If you like no-limit Texas hold'em, please consider checking it out at https://paddleboat.ms/.

I am not a big company, just someone who likes Bitcoin and poker. I wrote the kind of site that I would like to play poker on myself. The game looks and works much better than other poker sites in my opinion. The design is clean and functional, putting gameplay first. It uses modern web technologies, but doesn't look like a typical modern site.

The site doesn't ask for any personally identifiable information, so you are welcome to play anonymously if you wish. Also, my fees are much lower than any other poker site. Notably, there is no rake. You don't need to deposit any Bitcoin to play - you can try a game for free. This really takes the fun out of it, but it lets you make sure the site works well before committing your Bitcoin.

There are not many people on there at the moment, so you may not find anyone to play against when you visit. To get a game going, you will probably need to either play against the bots, or get someone you know to join your table. The site does support play-by-email for slower games if your group can't all be online at the same time - you can set a bet timeout of up to 7 days, and the site will email you when it's your turn to bet.

Thank you for your attention and I hope you give the site a whirl at https://paddleboat.ms/.

Where have you been all this time and where do you know the Bitcointalk forum, maybe right now the community here is already busy with poker tournaments here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5383543.0, maybe the party's almost over.

Yes this forum is the best place right now to promote gambling sites, what's more, poker is loved by many communities, it takes time to assess and the reputation of your poker site is known and liked by the public.

I hope this is a good start for your poker site as well as for you now and in the future, good luck.

- You don't need to deposit any Bitcoin to play- you can try a game for free.

How, play for free without depositing, a little complacent for me, please explain for real, could hurt me later, haunted by curiosity.

just a friendly welcome.

I know you said that you are not a big company so I'll assume that your funds are extremely limited. but if you want to attract players, better marketing would be a great thing to do and would most likely help your website. I quickly checked your website and the design is pretty plain but it does give me an "old school" vibe. I also, liked that you can try out the game by playing with friends.

I haven't tried the website yet but once you are on the website click "new game" it will redirect you to another webpage with options "play with bitcoin", "free game with friends", "free game with bots", etc...

When i visited your site i thought that i`m back in the 90s. I suggest you to improve design and use your script. With such design you can get some "old school" gamblers but it will be low quantity of players. If you want to promote you site you need at least high quality design, several cryptocurrencies with low commissions for deposit/withdraw and several more games at least. Or your site will be just from several friends. May be it is not bad.

If you want to introduce your site, you should check the other gambling sites on the Gambling board so maybe you can change your thread and create ANN about your site. Maybe you need to Buy a chopper membership that will help you add an image.

I visited your site and saw that your site is simple with a green background and we need to create an account. It needs more things to add such as T&C, Help, and else.

Well, I had the same feeling, like we are back in the 90s! But even that retro look can be good, as you say it can attract some people who like that design! What bothers me can we trust this site? Who wrote the code for card shuffling, or is it borrowed?! 

Starting a poker site is not easy! Attracting players is the hardest part... and I guess for attracting players only money helps! Marketing, tournaments with guaranteed prizes, freerolls... all that should last so people will have a chance to see your site! And all that costs money, as always, more money more chances for success, less money less quality, lower chances for success!

[famososMuertos]

I understand your enthusiasm! Without a doubt, these projects are quite romantic and work correctly in very local niches.

I think that joining a network and buying a skin is the best way or the best business model today, that gives you player traffic that is not cheap at all, but... I think the future of crypto poker is to copy that business model and allow enthusiasts like you to access under this modality.

I also found your domain curious, it is a domain that is very much in trend, that gives it a strange touch because we have a very vintage site, something that one does not expect to find in that type of .ms extension.

^{Successes!! May the long term work for you.}

My place here seems to be for your site and if you want to get acquainted with the players as a part, then the first thing you need to do is to make your design a little better because the mind of your lips is a bit normal  I mean, you have to improve the design a little bit, and you have to take a good look at the ones that are gambling and present them to everyone.

[davis196]

It took you one year in order to develop this website?
Sorry for the question,but are you a newbie programmer?
I see that you aren't making this website for the sake of making money and growing a gambling business.
Perhaps I will try the free version,but I'm busy right now.
I don't really think that somebody is going to bet actual Bitcoins on a website that doesn't look legit enough and doesn't have enough gamblers.Maybe the poker players can use it to train their skills for free,but there are way bigger platforms for playing poker for free.

We can`t say anything about code. Just test and analyze games one by one. The same problem with deposit/withdraw - only test and believe the OP. As for me - i don`t want to play with such design, so this questions are far from mem i don`t plan to do any research.
About promotion - first of all - change design. With such design only specific player will play and the expenses will be much more than profit i think. Or it`s possible to play some old school home tournaments, at least for the first time, to get some money for promo. But the OP have to find players even for such tournaments.

It's not that bad for me but yeah, if there's a room to improve in the website then I think that you should take time to consider improving or changing the overall vibes of the website. If you don't want to go to all the trouble, then you can probably hire people to do the designing and coding for you. Paddleboat reminds me of those boat casinos so it's pretty cool.

[sunsilk]

It's a simple website and there's the feeling that design is quite intriguing and interesting for me. Only one paid game/table is there.

But the good part is that there are many players that are trying with the free game. These folks probably are just checking out your poker site and it's a good start that there are those that have visited your site.

I haven't signed up yet and just looked at the few tabs.

Objectively speaking, the website reminds me of those 90s computer where your dad stays at the office playing solitaire all night.
 
Kidding aside, though I do understand that your funds may be limited, I hope you invest on its aesthetics and overall user interface. It is essential that the moment a potential customer opens a website, it would attract him for the first 10s to navigate throughout the page. In this way, they would be more inclined to stay making them your potential target customers in the long run.

[dimonstration]

What a classic game design that looks like 90's solitaire game. It's so good play in there with bots because the gameplay is very smooth and it feels nostalgic all the design aspect of the game. The main question here is how we can trust you that you will not run with our money? There's no info about your company or anything that will give players assurance that you will not run. This is 2022 and most of the people here don't trust anymore unlicensed Casino. I will be happy to use your website as casual game with bot but not with real money. Make it decentralized if you really want to run it anonymously.

friends view has an old look that was probably in 90's but I was in school ,this day there are so many poker games in other places that offer competition bonuses and other things ,OP should offer another bonuses policy which can attract more interest ! for free practice with bot will only waste gambler's time ,sorry I see it from the side of gamblers who want lots of opportunities

Same impression I have upon visiting his site. It has an old school vibe which I like because I love old stuffs, from songs, to games, movies, anything. This can make his poker site stand out from the crowd. His site doesn't have bonuses yet because like he said he only made this for his own interest. I mean no big business partners but if we support it and his site grows big, he might consider this soon.

Free play's are not a waste of time if your goal is to enjoy and past the time. Also it allows you to practice and master your poker skills. Another thing i like about his site is the ability to email you when your game is ready . not sure if other poker sites have this feature?

But for the sake of self testing then it isnt really that bad either but its true that bot will only waste gamblers time which i do see that it would be surely be ignored.
In regarding about sites design then it is really that a very simple basic and lots of space been not utilized even though its simple and direct to the point
but i do hate solid green color. hehe

The design looks good for me it was like I'm playing solitaire on my old PC which brings back the memories. I tried it with bots It looks good and I don't see any problem, I think you just need to attract more players a simple promotion or competition is enough to attract players, I personally don't want to play with bots even if the game is fair it's much better for me to play with a real players.

[Wexnident]

Hmm, interesting, site UI looks pretty old style, nonetheless rather clean though and uniform all throughout (from what I can see). Still, if you were trying to advertise the site as a business then I doubt it could get much traction, but if it was solely for people who want to play and stuff like that (kind of like god field if you know about it) then yea, it could work as one, especially with the timeout feature which looks rather interesting imo.

Could be, or that it didn't necessarily took a year but rather just spread out the work in that year.

[AicecreaME]

You definitely should improve your user interface because it seems like you are lost in time. Nowadays, there are so many poker sites that has been on the internet and they are reputable ones. If you want to be par in the competition, then you must consider enhancing and improving your website first to garner and encourage more clients to look it up and be their go-to. Check the things that a player will be looking for for a poker site and then incorporate it to your website. That way, you'll have potential clients. Consider to add variety of games to play too. Like a twist and such to make the players curious and engage with your site. Please take this as a criticism for your site to be successful in the future. I wish you luck OP.

Always nice to see a new Poker website being developed. I will check your website out this weekend and give it a try. Having an active player base is the most important thing for any poker website. Nothing is more frustrating than sitting alone on a table and nobody is joining. Playing against bots can be nice for learning purposes, but to really play for money we need to have other humans to play against. Maybe during your initial launch phase you could add more heads-up tables so you only need 1 person to play against. To attract a larger scale of players you should also consider running some promotions and giving deposit bonuses for larger stakes. It's quite hard to convince regulars to switch to your website. Good luck with website.
