Welcome to the forum!
How trusted is the platform for connecting ones wallet to continue betting, and how safe would be your user wallet as well because i know this is where most people gets it wrongly all in the name of not involving their selves with kyc could make them gets into a higher risk by compromising their entire wallet. Just curious to know about this because there have been a lot happening around the crypto industry of lately and we need to put an end to those things.

That is why i will not connect my main wallet to this site until i hear some positive feedback about the site. Also, i would advise everyone to make a new wallet, deposit a small amount that they want to gamble and then connect that wallet to this site.

If everyone is afraid of connecting their wallet who then will go first to connect to the site.
The best option is to just hold a little amount in their newly created wallet then before involving to the site, this is one thing that really shows how trusted a site because someone may get phished if they involved their main wallet.

4/ When interacting with a new crypto site, it pays to remain vigilant and always have hot wallets ready with minimal funds to test it out. Please give our site a try, and we are confident you will enjoy your stay!

5/ There are many so-called web3 casino/sports betting platforms that advertise crypto acceptance. However, you still need to deposit your crypto into their centralized wallet. With Nova88 Cryptosports, your funds remain in your Metamask wallet. Whenever you place a bet, the stake is locked in our smart contract, and we will match it with our own fund. It is only released to the eventual winner of the transaction when the event has ended and settled.

Funding a new wallet with minimal amount doesn't show the reliability of any site or of your site. whatever that may happens to little amount may also happened to a bigger amount, however a site may pretends to be good in other to gain people's trust after which they may strike and executes their plans.

It is possible for us to support Wrapped BTC, as long as it is on the underlying blockchain.
The Tether USD seen currently on our site is on the AminoX Blockchain, which has significantly lower transaction fees than Ethereum. To place bets, funds can be bridged in and out from either BSC or Tron.

I dont want to use Bitcoin on other chains, I want bitcoin blockchain support, this is most popular first cryptocurrency.
I never heard about aminoX blockchain and I dont feel comfortable using this method with bridges that can be hacked like it happened before.
After visiting aminoX blockchain website I saw it shows only 28 daily transactions, sorry but I think this is centralized blockchain.

This is my first time reading about this chain. I'm usually cautious about the new ones that pops out and all those platforms using bridges and second layers. It's probably one of the favorite targets of exploiters next to centralized platforms. Has your smart contracts been audited by a reputable third party?

This reminds me of a site directbet where we used to bet on matches without having to create an account on the site.  

This is not similar to directbet because the casino still needs to connect metamask wallet in able to play while directbet only ask for Bitcoin address to play in the casino without the connect the wallet. This casino is the typical web3 casino like Betfury, Owl.game and many more that the web3 wallet as an account. You will still need to deposit your balance from metamask to the casino wallet address.

It just make the account registration instantly through the use of the web3 technology but this isn’t the fully decentralized casino that we are expecting like directbet did when they are still operating.

Hi, actually users do not need to deposit any funds to our wallets. They do, however need to bridge their funds to the AminoX blockchain (our smart contracts currently live here) to be able to place bets. Support for more blockchains is planned on our roadmap.

FYI, here is the link to the AminoX Blockchain explorer: https://aminox.blockscout.alphacarbon.network/

Now things getting interesting because this might be an upgraded version of directbet if user will just need to use smart contract when placing bets without the need of depositing balance on your wallet like the typical web3 wallet. However, you are still requiring user to connect wallet on your website that might expose privacy of our wallet.

Directbet is a casino that doesn’t require any connection to our wallet. This casino only provides deposit address for the bet pick then once bet amount was sent, The smart contract will automatically payout the balance on the sender address. I think your casino has the similarities. I will try to explore it later.

By any chance, do you have an audit for your smart contract?

Yes, we'll ask our software provider to put the certification on their website and link back from our site

Thanks all for your questions.

We are first and foremost a sportsbook, thus casino and RNG related products will come later and it's partly because it's hard to find 3rd party service providers that support blockchain and web3 for us to integrate with. Not to mention the technical aspect with the constant needs to sign a transaction for each slot pull! Fear not, we believe we have a solution but will require further R&D.

While more than 50% of the people here like No KYC casino, they all want thier money to be safe at the same time so there could be issues to face for this casino. But welcome to bitcointalk.

Is ACT a native token for this casino? It's a wonder why you chose AminoX blockchain.
We are still going to see this project doing ICO right?

ACT is the native token for AminoX blockchain which is used to pay for gas/transaction fees.

We will not be doing an ICO as we are not a startup in need of funding. We are a new crypto division of Nova88.net that holds a Curacao gaming license.

Directbet is on-chain while this one here is decentralized but both don't have a sign-up process. On-chain is only safer because we don't need to connect our wallet in the site although there is still risks because if the gambling site is a scam, our winning won't still be paid. Web3's are a new innovation but what I dislike about them is we still need to deposit our funds. It will be better if the funds are shown in our accounts immediately after we connect our wallet. Lots of users are missing directbet.

There are clones that came and run well after some time but unfortunately they also died later on. I guess it shows that old technology are outdated and can't keep up with the pace anymore. We better move on and embrace what we currently have.

We appreciate all the feedback this thread has provided us, and we've spent a significant amount of time working on improving our product. We recently launched an update with two new features:

1. Supporting Polygon.
To gain more trust with our users, we've added Polygon support alongside AminoX. Supporting a large and recognized chain may ease some user's concerns about using a blockchain with low transactions that they may not have heard of.

By allowing users to choose whether they place bets with USDT(Polygon) or USDT(AminoX) gives users the flexibility to choose their preferred chain.

AminoX still provides reliable transactions at a low gas fee (paid in ACT token). We are continuing to give out 1 ACT for every $10USDT bridge to pay for your betting transactions. The gas fee is on us! This is especially helpful when Polygon traffic and gas fees are high (which we've experienced quite a bit in the first week of launching).  

Since our last update, the Alpha Carbon team has increased their web presence. More information about AminoX can be found here:https://alphacarbon.network/

2. A new no-sweat welcome bet offer.
How this works is simple. Place your initial bet, with a minimum amount of 5 USDT, on either the Polygon or AminoX blockchain. If your bet is successful, the winnings are yours to keep. However, if your bet results in a loss, don't worry! We will refund your original stake (up to $100 USDT) in the form of bet credits, providing you with another chance to win.


Now that this update has been completed, we're working on building exposure to the site while developing features that we think will resonate with our community. RNG and mini games, additional wallet support, more sport types, thoroughly auditing our smart contracts via 3rd parties, etc. We hope to continue receiving feedback from this community and address any concerns that come up.

Hello. Can you limit the bet maximums for players to very small amounts (eg $0-1) like many other bookies do?

We've recently launched new features that allow for users to better onboarding and betting experiences.

1. Vault Wallet
The Vault ensures a centralized-like user experience while upholding the the benefits of smart contract powered sports betting. The vault is poised to revolutionize how users interact and place bets on our Nova88 CryptoSports. Users without a Metamask wallet can now simply login using a Google account, giving them a dedicated Vault wallet to interact with our smart contracts.


With the Vault, users will no longer have to manually engage with their wallets each time they wish to place a bet. This groundbreaking feature streamlines the process and significantly reduces the time needed to complete transactions. Users will have the convenience of easily depositing and withdrawing USDT (ERC20 / TRC20 / Polygon) from their designated Vault wallet.

Our vault also allows users to interact with Nova88 CryptoSports from standard mobile browsers, removing the requirement of using dApp-dedicated mobile browsers.


2. Decentralized Bet Allowances
For users that continue to place bets directly from their Metamask wallets, we've included a new bet allowance feature that allows for faster transactions and fewer transaction signing actions. When a user places their first bet, they will be prompted to set an allowance for interacting with our smart contracts. This allowance lets users place consecutive and continuous bets without interacting with their wallet until that that allowance has been reached. This new feature makings placing bets on fast-paced live sports more accessible, allowing you to place bets before odds change.


While we rollout these new features, we are holding a promotional period that covers the gas fees for each bet placed.
