[xinzark]

Sad to hear such an awesome site getting closed. PrimeDice got it's New year gift 
Any plans on posting the reason behind closing ?

[KingDice]

BetKing is closed.
After over 3.5 years of providing the most trusted Bitcoin gambling site BetKing is now closed.

Please withdraw any funds remaining in your balance.

The page will be kept live for a month or two to allow people to withdraw. After that you will need to email support@betking.io to claim your balance.


Thanks to all the players and investors who helped make BetKing one of the best Bitcoin gambling sites.

Good luck in 2017

Dean

Thats bad, cause BK was keeping the standards high in the industry for years. Good luck in future projects anyway .

Sucks to hear that you will be closing. Any chance I could know the reason you have decided to close?

It's been almost 4 years I've worked on BetKing.
I've done it mostly by myself except from some help here and there but the majority of the time it has been me that deals with development, marketing, promo, support, security, looking after others funds, dealing with abuse etc

Almost every other dice site has more than one member of staff, at least some support staff.

I wanted to make BetKing the #1 Bitcoin gambling site for dice, casino, sports and poker.
It's going to take far too much time on my own to get there (I had a lot of devs let me down over the past 2 years too slowing things down a lot)

The reason I tried to sell shares during the ICO was to raise funds to hire the right people to actually try to make this happen.
But we failed to raise the funds needed. Mostly due to bad timing with it being the end of year and Bitcoin price rising fast and a not so well thought out pitch

I also gave away between 3-400 Bitcoin in promos, prizes etc and made what I feel is the best dice site that is easiest to use over the past 2 years.

But apparently according to the stats on some sites not everyone agrees

BetKing is very profitable and I have made good money off of it but I'm not the type of person to settle for being #2 at something.
It's a very unhealthy obsession that has started effecting my daily life off of BetKing which isn't good .
I could leave it open and neglect it and still make a very good living but I wouldn't be happy with that.

So I've decided to close instead.

I've not decided what I will do instead but I know I'll be taking a long break after everyone is cashed out.

Thanks for everyone who gave support over the years.

Glad to hear you're making the decision to become more healthy.  People don't have any clue on how stressful your role is.  Wish you the best.  Cheers.

Enjoy your rest Dean !

Good Luck Dean, it's been a wild ride but there are opportunities everywhere if you're motivated to pursue them. Stay classy mate.

[BetKing.io]

Thanks for all the support guys.

I think Bitcoin gambling has matured and improved a lot since BetKing started and players have a much safer environment to play.

BetKing, PrimeDice and BitDice weeded out all the scam sites after Just-Dice closed.

We set the bar high for trust. Well for the sites that were popping up, obviously dooglus is the most trusted on here
 
So the next sites like Better Bets, SafeDice and Crypto games and now new sites like Bitsler, Bitvest, KingDice and YoloDice developed high quality products to attract players instead of just another scam site looking to build a bankroll through crowdfunds to run off with


I've had my differences and silly arguments with a few site owners in public  on this forum (dooglus and Alex mostly but it's competition right? ) but I know better than most how hard the work site owners put in is and how stressful it is.

So keep it up. Don't scam (you make more in long run) and keep making your sites brilliant for the players.

I don't wanna have to re-open BetKing in 6 months

All the best

Give me your code and I'll give you affiliate pay for PRCDice.com .

See you in 2017 I'm sure!

[jamyr]

Enjoy your rest Dean !

Its really hard if you carry everything in your own shoulder. But I say what you did(Dean), is what somebody with pride and principle would have done. Enjoy the vacation.

[pawel7777]

Wow, I didn't see that coming...

Best of luck Dean! Thanks for all the epic promos and for not running away with investors funds Hope to see around, maybe with other projects. Take care

ps. I had a small bug with withdrawal pop up screen, it showed balance of zero (while I had some small amount). But entering the amount manually did the trick anyway.

[game-protect]

Most of the things you said, reminds me of my own service:

- Ton of silly "arguments"  

- People do not see the time spent behind a project.

Why you were not able to find a reliable partner? What did they say?

[Cyrax89721]

Thanks for everything Dean.  You've given out way more than most deserve.  It's been fun watching the high rollers and chatting with like-minded folks.  Not so fun losing a bunch of money, but that's the way she goes.

Enjoy your vacation!  I shed a single tear removing Betking from my favorites bar.  

[numanoid]

thats what happens when you try scamming and fail ahahahahaha

If he (Dean) want to scamming, he would do it when he hold around ~6000 Bitcoins from all betking investors
Read what's the main reason he close betking

It's a very unhealthy obsession that has started effecting my daily life off of BetKing which isn't good Smiley.

says the guy with bad rep.

Ehmm, your rep is worse than him.
Thank you Dean, sad to know one of trusted and oldest gambling site closed now. It was nice when we see a lot of highrollers playing/betting in your site. Goodluck with your future plan

[Zodiac1233]

It's unfortunate to see one of the best sites go, but I'm glad to see you're getting your much needed (and deserved) break. Most people don't realize just how much work running a major site like yours takes.
Also, thank you for being a good influence on the industry as a whole, it's great to see how things have improved over the years thanks to many sites, including BetKing.

Best of luck to you in the new year and beyond Dean .

Dean,

I applaud your efforts as you ran a very successful site. You have gone even further to prove your legitimacy as you are doing something that most wouldn't by paying back those who had placed faith in your site.

Let's be sure to remember BetKing as one of the greats!

Good luck in the future!

[BoXXoB]

Had a fair share of good days hanging out at BetKing as well as some disagreements but as to how you ran the site in general I don't have complaints. Sad to see the site go but I'm sure it was the righ decision to make considering how stressful it must have been! Perhaps one day we'll see you bring something new to the table again. For the time being it's time to say farewell!

All the best to you Dean.

No regrets being a part of the BetKing community!

[Persepolis]

thats what happens when you try scamming and fail ahahahahaha

He returned everyone's money, you have some truly bizarre vendetta against Betking/Dean that i do not understand.

[fiscorcle]

Wow. No words for the shock I'm feeling right now - didn't see this one coming in the slightest.

Congrats Dean! You've managed to do what few in any profession do - be the hero without becoming the the villain in the end. BetKing was the hero we needed, but not the one we deserved.

Unfortunate timing though...definitely would've thought about doing this full time if you needed someone with time commitment, but alas got 7 more months on my contract.

Best of luck with your future endeavors!
