Macaw.casino ⚡ Powered by the lightning network ⚡ Instant withdrawals ⚡ No KYC

[AmoreJaz]

So, I have a question for OP, what function email on the register when we can withdraw it instantly?

The email just acts as a login id and for payment confirmations emails for the user. We want to move away from emails to be honest, but we understand some users prefer using emails instead of having to remember a new ID specific for macaw.

remember, most players are comfortable knowing that they can go back to their account if in case they forgot their password. at least, they have email that they can give to the support for the recovery of their account. as people are having a lot of online accounts, they want a regular way of accessing the site. maybe, in time, if more and more people are acquainted, let's say for example using LN. they will find it easier to access the site without the use of their emails.

Even myself would definitely be preferring on using emails yet most of the time i do create an email for the sole purpose of making register on gambling sites which i wouldnt really be that forgetting it easily
unlike when we are just using usernames or some sort similar on this then it is high likely to forget those things.Actually this is really a matter of preference since not all would really be sharing up on the
same idea but in overall most gambling sites do really require email address which i dont really see any problems with that and as a common sense if you are a type of person who do
easily forgets or does have lots of account names and emails then it wont hurt on making some listing at least.

One more question, how about the fairness of your game? I do not see any information related to the fairness of your games, does it mean that your games are not provably fair?

Our games are not currently provably fair. We had a meeting with our devs on the weekend to see how long it would take to integrate this but I don't foresee it being released this year unfortunately. Our road map on major features has already been set and we are pretty focused on and committed to utilizing the abilities of the lightning network. We understand this will be off putting to some players, and that is something we respect and accept.

But for players willing to put their trust in us, you will find honest games and the best payouts system of any casino out there!

Exactly, that is why we will be giving customers both options. Customers who wish to login with their emails and have an account will still be able to do so, and customers who are very privacy conscious can play the games and withdraw without the need of signing up with their email. Both options will be available.

Of course not provably fair will make people think twice to play in your casino especially you are a new casino but I appreciate your honesty unlike the older casino that use the same script. Most of them claim that their games are provably fair but in fact there are some reputable users in this forum who found that the games are not provably fair. So for now, the lightning network is the main feature to attract bitcoin gambler although I do not think lightning users are a lot out there.

[macaw_casino]

Do they have any withdrawal fee?

There are no withdrawal fees If you have 100 satoshis, you will receive 100 satoshis

This is not good. You shouldn't expect users to trust fairness, and even if you don't cheat, users will blame you when they lose.

I suggest to make this your number one priority!

Not saying that you guys are scammers or whatnot, but it would be best if you prioritize finishing this crucial part of your casino before you focus on site design or other such fancy advertisements that you want to put out. Even if you state that you do not intend to cheat your players and would be fair all throughout, there is simply just a different sense of security that people feel when they can confirm for themselves that the casino isn't a scam.

[macaw_casino]

I would say that it is a must for every crypto and non crypto base online casinos to show us their provably fair, the client seed and server seed and then we have ways to verify it. So if you have time, this is the one that needs to be prioritized an added ASAP in my opinion.

Thank you very much for the feedback guys. We really appreciate it and we hear you loud and clear.

I will pass on the message to the team this week, and will let you know if we can change priorities to get this bumped up to top priority.

Upon visiting, this is the time i see that there's a horse racing game and this is good for the people who wants race game, also with the games it is automatically directed with the login once their click but it is good too if they have an insight how this is works too so they can get a chance when did they try to play, also it is good for the gambling platform if you will add some of the animations for it.

Hey, congratulations on starting your company.

I visited your website, here are some pros and cons:

Pros:
1. Using Cloudflare for DNS/Security.
2. HTTPS connection.
3. Realtime Instant Withdrawals.

Cons:
1. Bad UI overall, colors are contrasting each other.
2. Poor understanding of using Font Weight and Size, like "Powered by the Lightning Network" should be bolder, not bigger.
3. Some of the text is not even visible - https://i.imgur.com/hzSlNUg.png
4. No customer care service, you are just using a discord server to help users out.

I hope this will help you out, DM me anytime to get some more suggestions or even do Beta testing of your project.
Cheers.

This is interesting idea of using Lightning Network to save on fees and speed up deposits and withdrawals, but what if someone want's to use normal Bitcoin payments on chain?
I like that Macaw casino doesn't have any kyc restrictions but I would like to see more games being offered for gambling.

Hi notblox.

Thanks for your question and feedback. We will be focused solely on the lightning network. On-Chain transactions take time for confirmations to come through, and therefore we would not be able to fulfil our promise of instant withdrawals if we went with that approach. With the the lightning network, you really can get your winnings in seconds, and can deposit/withdraw with microtransactions that have no transaction fees.

We have 3 promises we are going to stick to. Instant withdrawals, No KYC, and microtransactions.

We recommend trying WalletofSatoshi as a lightning wallet, its super easy to install and use. Join our discord and we can credit you with 2000 satoshis to use however you like, even if just to try a lightning withdrawal.

Agreed, This game is indeed unique because it’s in-house game which other casino don’t have. I typically saw this game under sportsbook or bets game and not on the house game which probably a blockchain based game if I read correctly the game description. This casino offers many unique games that only available here. The only thing that stopping me on playing here is there license. I’m scared playing on unregulated casino.

It means that your experience in this crypto gambling industry is not much (no offenses) because basically there are so many casinos with this "Horse racing game".
Want to see one of them? Go this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5229664.0 and you'll see exactly the same game on the TOP of the thread.
If you visit the casino, you'll find that the available games in macaw.casino are all the same as the games you can see in the casino I'm referring to in above thread.
Means that what you say the games are only available here is completely wrong.

Pros:
1. Using Cloudflare for DNS/Security.

Personally, I consider this a con not a pro especially for privacy-oriented casino such as Macaw.casino which do not request kyc and planning to allow users to play without registration. No question that CloudFlare is good when it comes to DDos protection and such but it's definitely not good for users' privacy.

...
Yes, but I wonder why other casino sites do not integrate a lightning network in their sites because of its faster transaction speed with no/less fee. Maybe there are more technicalities involved in integration or it is not yet popular among the gambling houses. Macaw.casino will set the trend I guess. 

You are right. Unfortunately, the lightning network is still not that popular especially among gamblers and there is not much demand on it. This is basically why most casinos and crypto-services didn't add it as a payment system although it could solve many issues related to fees and the speed of transactions confirmation. Hopefully, more businesses will realize the importance of LN and will follow the lead of Macaw.casino.

Fairness should really be their main priority because if people would find out that it wasnt fair on the first place then expect that you wouldnt really succeed and directly fail into this market.
Recommendations above was on point that you should at least put up some focus not only on fairness but also on site design itself. Us people on this market doesnt really like
on babbling out words about being fair.Just make it happen and prove it out because we are the ones would be able to point out if you are actually doing it or not.

[macaw_casino]

Provable fairness should be one vital feature of any casino, so I do agree that they should focus on this part. It is already coming from the team that the games are not currently provably fair, this will put some players not to deposit good amount of money. But I like the fact that they are patronizing the LN, which hopefully more people are getting acquainted on the use of this network because it is really cheap than the native network.

[macaw_casino]

Q4 2022: Signup-less feature: We plan to make macaw a complete streamlined lightning experience, meaning all our games will be playable and fundable without the need to sign up to a user account.

This is actually what many Bitcoin casinos/gambling sites should pursue as an eventual objective as a Bitcoin service. Think of a quasi-censorship-resistant gambling service that doesn't need a gambling license because it's powered by a censorship-resistant cryptocurrency.

Macaw.casino, let me suggest something, have a TOR mirror site.

I like your thinking  Having our games act as lightning based services is how we view it long term as well. Watch this space.

We are going to have a meeting about this this week. The community here has made it very clear that this should be the top priority, so we may have to rework our roadmap, and shelve some of the other features we had planned until a later date so we can focus on this.

Thanks for bringing this up. We of course take privacy extremely seriously and we will look into whether it is worth moving away from cloudflare. Just a note, isn't this forum using cloudflare?

That would be great. More exciting announcements will definitely be good for community members. Community members will be more attracted to your platform if you continue to give importance to community members' suggestions and feedback. Looking forward to seeing your new announcement, I hope you don't have to wait too long! Soon you will bring announcement.

Thank you for your response.
As I said, I consider using cloud flare a con but I wouldn't recommend moving away from it, not unless you have a better alternative.
Most websites on the Internet use cloudflare and you are right, this forum uses it too. You can read theymos (forum owner)'s comment on this matter from the link I posted above (in my previous reply).

Making your games provably fair is going to be a huge improvement. Good luck!
