Well, if you think that PVP is very important in building your casino, then forget about the 2nd option. In fact, you don't need to ask for the others when it matters to you the most.
Besides, gamblers will choose the casinos that give them realistic results. Offer the best games, bonuses, and most of all, fair rules.
Money is not a problem with you, but building reputation is not easy. So forget about earning more money, but rather focus on how to earn trust.
I get your point, and we actually agree on a lot of that.
PvP is definitely a core part of what we’re building, that’s not up for debate. We’ve spent the past 13ish months doing market research and building the right connections.
That said, the reason for this post is exactly to hear from experienced users like yourself. We might have our own view on what makes a great platform, but at the end of the day it has to align with what the community actually wants.
This is a long-term project for us. We’re not here for short-term profit, we’re fully prepared to invest heavily and even run at a loss in the early stages if that’s what it takes to build something solid. And that’s also why we find option 2 interesting. 0% rake, meaning true player vs player with no house cut. For us, that actually aligns very well with your point about trust, because removing the house edge from PvP is one of the strongest ways to show that.
