Bitcoin Gambling Site Owners-Please Read!

[justscrewit]

Hello!

My name is Rich Whiteman and I have been tasked with writing reviews for a company who has recently acquired bitcoincasinopro.com from the previous owners. Due to the site's shady past, they have decided to completely re-do the site and implement changes from the bottom to the top. I have been delegated to re-writing all the reviews and adding new ones and so far have completed the following sites (note: This list also includes known offline/scam sites):
Betcoin.tm
Bitspoker
Bitsaloon
Bit777
Bitbook
BitcoinLiveBets
BitcoinSports.eu
Caesarbit
CasinoBitco.in
Cloudbet
SatoshiBet
NitrogenSports
Betcoin.ag
Bitcasino.io
Bitstarz.com (formerly Bitstars.net)

I know there are A LOT more sites out there that need to be done. I am in the process of completing BitcoinVideoCasino, FortuneJack, and Primedice.

This posting is mostly intended for owners or management of gaming sites. As the site is still being remodeled, I have some particular questions that need to be asked of owners or management. Specifically, the technical aspects of sites that are sometimes hard to find within the site's navigation. Also, I can provide the reviews I have already done, from the list above, for an example of how the layout of the review will look like. Please PM on here and we can set up a better line of communication, if need be. 

If you are a player who has stumbled across this thread and have a site you would like reviewed, please reply to this thread with the site's name, if not already listed above. Whether it has been a pleasurable experience, or far from it, we would like to know. Please do not list your negative experience, in detail, if you are trying to vent over a recent loss (as I have seen numerous times within this section of BitcoinTalk). This thread is not designed to be a flaming or trolling hub and have set it for self-moderation, for this very reason. As long as the comments are constructive though, they are completely allowed. Here are some examples of what is considered acceptable:

(site name)
Please do a review for (site name)
I love (site name)! They are the best place to play! (you get the idea...)
I'm not a big fan of (site name). I won't play there again due to (various CONSTRUCTIVE and LEGITIMATE reasons)

Examples of what are considered not acceptable:

(site name) is a scam!! they took my money! Don't play there!!
(site name) are a bunch of (derogatory sentiments). I hope they rot in hell
etc. etc. etc.

If you have a complaint that you have had funds stolen, though, we take that very seriously, but we also don't want to ruin reputations, either. Some sites have devoted major time, resources, and risk, just to have a thread with an allegation, all to be an end result of a player being mad they have lost, a player's own error, a site's error that has been mistakenly overlooked, etc. If you have any concerns about a site and want a thorough further investigation, please PM me first. I will investigate it quickly, and if it is determined that the site has purposely cheated or stolen from players, that post is certainly allowed and will be written in a review.

Thank you for your time in reading this, and good luck to all involved in Bitcoin gaming! By providing these honest reviews, we hope to provide a service that builds a strong trust between players and site owners, when it comes to the Bitcoin gaming community!

Best Wishes,
Richard Whiteman

First of all, I think it's great you're trying to clean up the site. In my limited time running a gambling site, it's pretty sad seeing the cottage industry that has popped up writing dodgy/paid reviews. For some of the prices they have asked, I imagine they're even probably doing quite well. I think if you want to shake the image if your past, you might need to operate in a way that avoids directly taking money from site owners (direct advertising), or using affiliate links. I've seen a lot of: "Why don't you buy ads from us?" with a big *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* about getting special treatment in the organic section as well, to the point I'm not sure I could trust a review site to be impartial to someone advertising there.

Anyway, good luck! Also, I think you're getting off on the wrong foot with a thread that will invariably create incentivized bumping spamfest for site owners and shills. It likely would be a bettet idea to just link to a suggestion form.

Well as I am not the site owner, I am not one to make decisions based on the financial rewards the site may try to pursue. My sole purpose is to review all the sites that I can and write a review for them. Since there is no financial bearing I am placing on these sites personally, I don't quite see your point. The reviews I write will be honest, so whether advertising or affiliate links are placed there or not (I'm assuming they will need to financially want to support the site in some fashion) the reviews will not be biased towards that. If a negatively reviewed site wants to pay for advertising, they can do that, but my review stays the same. If potential players don't want to read the review, that is their choice. I do not know the ultimate final plan, but I do know I have reviews written and nothing has caused me to vary my opinion, in any matter, besides what they provide, within their site.

As far as your theory of starting out on the wrong foot, I am glad to see you already don't believe in the integrity in which I am trying to fulfill. It is self-moderated to prevent the vary things you have proceeded to mention. I appreciate your comments and concerns, but let's see how this plays out before we jump to being negative.

Since there is no financial bearing I am placing on these sites personally, I don't quite see your point.

I have no reason to doubt your intentions, but it's undeniable as a site there is a massive conflict of interest in running direct advertising or uses affiliate links. For instance, the last review site to contact me is asking for 1-2/btc a month in advertising fees (depending on placement) and will add a review. If they write a negative review, they know full well that I'm not going to advertise for a second month on a site that has a negative review, and as such have a large conflict of interest. In fact, looking at their site now they give top grades to an absolute junkware casino that claims to be provably fair, when is absolutely not.

Affiliate links also promote a pretty similar dilemma,  and half the reason sites have the affiliate program in the first place.

Anyway, I think you missed my point. It's not that I think it's impossible to operate ethically/responsibly when conflicts of interest arrises, but the first step is to acknowledge they exist.

Good luck with your endeavour!

I would really be appreciative if you did a review of my site, The House of Chance. It's a Game of Thrones inspired game with a variable house edge, which can reach up to 1% in the player's favor. I don't think many other sites have odds that can so strongly favor a player. Also, it's themed to help attract new folks to the bitcoin community.

Here's the bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890248.0 and here's the website:

thanks!
