1 - The copycat epidemic within crypto casinos.

[paxmao]

In a way yes, copying is usually not enough, since the incumbent has always the advantage of being first to market and, if they have a proper strategy, they do know how to get that across to customers. Having said that, the games out there are very similar. It is in fact quite silly that with all the possibilities available with technology, casinos still relay on the old tested games.

Indeed, for many players, the entourage itself created on the online casino site is important, it's nice to look at the visually attractive effects that certainly attract players, especially if you are in doubt to start the game or leave. But for players whose main goal is not to enjoy gambling, but to benefit from the UI/UX game does not matter, the main thing is that it should be a reliable and proven online casino, so it seems to me.

Many gamblers didn’t focus much on the theme or design of the site, they are too focus about the game being provided and they just really want to have fun regardless if the site just copied the theme from other site. Beside, they all have the same game provider, so the only concern here is the fairness of the site and it’s security requirements.

As long as the casino has no fraud cases, I don't think gamblers will have a problem with it and will use the casino to keep playing. They can find what they are looking for because they have no trouble playing in that casino. Some casinos may have a similar theme or site design to other sites, and I think that's normal. Gamblers are just looking for a place to play safe, reliable, proven gambling that can provide comfort so they don't have to move to another casino.

not because the casino has no fraud cases mate meaning they are not scam or something bad  because sometimes there are victims that knows nothing where to put their cases so they remain silent and the casino can continue to operate without  being called out.
maybe the best way is to  check their site and learn how they treat players in small amount because mostly? scammer takes our money when we need to withdraw from our winning.

Gamblers are more interested in a working system where their funds will be more safer even though the original sites can not give them the guarantee they want. Copycats is not a bad thing but if the intention of copying another gambling platform has the motives if scamming people that that will not be accepted.

Gambling is meant to be flexible giving gamers the ability to choose from various gambling platforms of there choice. Some gamblers will never bordered they are playing on a copycat platform because they are more interested in the safety of their fund not just the name.

If the casino has a motive of wanting to deceive gamblers, I think gamblers can find out because many professional gamblers will investigate. A casino that has the same design as other casinos may want to see a response from gamblers. If necessary, the casino can replace it with a different design, especially if the casino has plans to upgrade its system. Gamblers themselves will choose a casino based on their experience and will not choose a casino if they are not sure about its safety.

Checking their site and doing further research is highly recommended because we will choose a casino we will use to gamble and save some money when not gambling. But scammers usually won't take money from gamblers using small money and if they did, they probably did it randomly. And if the victim doesn't complain to the casino, no one will know so in this case, we better call him out to sort it out.

[Haunebu]

Understood what you were trying to convey op even though I didn't read the entire wall of text. I don't really view this entire copycat epidemic in the crypto gambling world to be a bad thing to be honest with you.

Why? Because this makes the market more competitive which in turn makes the popular sites work harder in order to stay ahead of the competition. This is mutually beneficial for both the sites and their gamblers.

Hence, it makes sense why some casino team members feel this is a compliment instead of an insult.

Gamblers will always be gamblers, and their main goal is to gain profits. So most likely, they are more concerned on the games and bonuses that the casino can offer. Though such interesting themes or designs can still catch the attention of the players, but in the end it’s all about the games and the reliability and good customer service that a casino has to offer.

There are many factors in deciding what casino to choose but having a good design and an original one is a plus one. Remember that a design can give you a trade mark and it helps gamblers like us remember what casino we played. You can easily tell a new casino that there's a hint of being a clone if they are using a similar design and color scheme on a reputable casino right? This could end up in realizing the reliability of the casino, I personally won't play on a casino that is for me has a hint of being a clone casino this is why I conclude that a casino design is important to most gamblers especially for those who are seeking for entertainment.

Being unique is something that been recommendable or does give out good impression on a particular platform or casino and its true that whenever we do see some new sites that has the same UI/UX of a known

gambling site then we do usually lose up interest directly.I dont know but everytime i do see these things in similar then i do lose up interest but i dont know on other people as long the bonuses and perks
are good then there are ones who do consider.
Casino owners would tend to copy out on something which is popular and believe that they could get good numbers but not how it works.People would be having those
first impressions that last.

You're right, I had the same impression when the same look and scheme of the famous casino made our interest wane. The reason is that it is the originality of the casino that makes us interested in the mix and features it has to offer. But if the UI / UX is the same, it comes to my mind that is boring and shows its own characteristics from a casino. Some confirm the new casino is working with a known casino, or the same person's UI/UX designer. It's even worse if you plagiarize from a well-known casino and violate the code of ethics. For that, I always lose interest as you feel when you find a casino bar but with a concept that we have found.

[Randomlywrite]

Would anyone happen to have or know of a list of platforms that only offer in-house games. No, provider slots? For example, bitkong, tower bet, BCH games, etc. I find these sites to be the most unique tho they do still have similar games to one another I enjoy their design and themes. Not to mention I don't get distracted and go blow my whole bankroll in 10 mins  on a few spins on a slot haha

We do all want to see some unique and something  that had bee seen already on the market.Any copycats or clone wouldnt really be that good to look at even if there are some small alterations but still wont really

be that enough to compete to those sites to whom they do copy with.They cant really just create from their own idea but instead to copy on since its the easiest way and even thinking and believing on positive
results?
Its already boring that every now and then we do really see new sites been launching but ending up on the same design and concept which we dont really like imho.

The UI/UX of most famous casinos were try and tested already, hence why a lot of people adopt it, as I've said in my previous post. It's not boring to say imo, rather our eyes are just used to it since a lot of casinos use it, and that exact feeling of being used to it also helps in the instinctive way of us gliding through the site letting it become rather easy for us to use. It also speaks volumes that these similar styles are also famous for most of the case, hence why a lot of casinos still use them.

[judeafante]

You have one, massive incumbent who innovated a lot of what we see today (Stake); multiple competitors who hold a small but notionally considerable percentage of the market (Duelbits, Gamdom, Roobet, etc); a rapidly evolving space with huge potential upside. The only thing that’s missing is the competitor that will finally give Stake a run for its money.

Stake.com is not the only one that's been doing what its been doing and I don't agree that there is an absence of competition in the Cryptocurrency market, it is just that Stake has long years of existence and they have established loyal supporters since they started back 1998, others are just building their reputation and community, their closest rival Duelbits just started 2020 but they have achieved a lot, it will be different five years from now, Stake.com is just reaping what they've planted on over 20 years of their existence, you cannot expect to beat Stake by other casinos that are 2 to 4 years in its existence.

[Docnaster]

Cloning toppers  in the industry is not something invented by crypto gambling sites. Just look at the several examples that Google is giving us:



Not all those that copy others are dying out, as you can see from the list above. If you are honest with your customers and the functionality of your site is on the high level, you have every chance of being successful, but being at least slightly different wouldn't hurt, of course.

Apart from gambling industry, even in other industries where there is competition and where there is growth, there is a level of copying that is seen. I am an advocate that nothing is totally new, every idea must have emanated from other ideas and then refined to something new. This is understandable to a large extent and not to copy the whole idea or design of another company. If you copy more than acceptable, you the copier will lose your own originality. There will be no uniqueness attached to your brand. Companies that depends much on copying others doesn't last in any industry because they are not unique or lack brand.

Some companies who copied and became successful, you will notice that at some point they will tend to rebrand when they have gotten the required customer base to compete favourably in the market.
Gamblers sometimes doesn't care, they only care if all the games can be found readily and easily and withdrawal not giving issues they will make gamble and go their ways. So, it is the clear duty of gambling sites to patent their design and other related unique things, so that they would be legally eligible to take actions against obvious copy cats.

That is very good of you hahaha...
Blowing a whole bankroll can be so dishearten because that could be the found one had been growing for a very long time ams now blowing the account can be self weakening. I have one blown an account which it takes me many days to have grown to such a level and because of greed and curiosity to win more, I lost all my bankroll which was never funny at all. I cry bitterly inside me and went home promising myself never to be greedy again.
What a long time ago, I learnt the hardest lesson of my life then.

From my personal point of view, these copycats could be the result of people with a limited budget but with much ambition and good plans for the future, so in order to start their business they opt for copying or taking inspiration from well-established online casinos, so they can start at the botton, accumulating money and hopefully to start making their platform unique as soon as they get enough profitability.

Also, Casinos (as for now) do not need to change their winning formula to attract people and keep them spending money, the classic games do their job pretty well.
If you have my personal opinion, however, I believe if a casino steps forward and start investing in develiping licensed games for their clients and these end up being successful, it could start a very interesting trend for the gambling industry. I hope to be alive when/if that ever happens.

True. Most gamblers are not that 'picky' when it comes to games that is offered to them as essentially they are all the same, just different visuals and graphics. If the casino proved to be a reliable and trustworthy platform, gamblers would have no problem playing on them. What we're after is a good place with a good reputation and some kind bonuses too. Sure it might feel off playing on a casino that has a lot of its elements copied on another casino, but after sometime I won't really mind, so as the casino fulfills what I want in a gambling platform.

It's because Stake and Primedice are the prime movers in crypto based casino so they already established their reputation already. Of course there are rivals that is going to come and go because it is a multi billion dollar industry. So it's hard to avoid this so called copy cats and similarities in design in games because this is a niche. And probably the same set of developers are being hired and of course same slot machine operators too.

I didn't know this fact about stake.com that they've been there since 1998. I thought that they're just built last 2017 and their first success project was primedice which is still up to date and operating.

you cannot expect to beat Stake by other casinos that are 2 to 4 years in its existence.

The reputation they have is just hard to beat and that's one fact that many competitors knew but nothing bad to try to be at least close to them or be par in some other ways.

Reputation is everything because once a certain platform do able to get this kind of title then this is where it would really be considered that it is really on the check mark when it comes to those qualities.

Most players doesnt really mind much as long they would really be seeing that there are lots of people who had been playing and staying on the platform.Copy cats is everywhere and isnt something new.

Whenever they do see that a particular site or company is really that too popular then you would really be expecting that there would be some copying actions
believing that they could at least share up on the same success if ever people find out something in similar on the site that they've been dealing with which is really a wrong belief.

This is correct, gamblers which have been enjoying the activity for long enough know that the games offered by the casinos may differ on the visual aspect but at their core they are incredibly similar, which is why that as long as the game that they like is being offered by the casino in which they want to play they will focus on way more important aspects that affect them directly, like the amount and rate at which they received bonuses and how trustworthy the casino is.
