Topic: [ANN] DEGENS.com - The Blockchain Sports Betting Exchange - page 4. (Read 1184 times)

I've checked out the website (degens). It's quite impressive but I'd to make a suggestion. Please add more markets, options and support more leagues. I believe that one area that your platform is lacking. Since I'm talking about support, I'd like you to add more payment options for other cryptocurrencies – BTC, LTC etc as opposed to using only ETH and DAI stablecoin.

I don't know if it's just me or anyone else but I had problem finding your mobile menu just because you used a gorilla picture on it. Looks odd. You might want to use the good ol hamburger icon.

Well if you have issue regarding to that then maybe it's your own perspective but actually there's no issue regarding on that since there are some vital aspect that we need to look on it and the most important thing here is the transparency of the platform with a clear information about them but overall it's up to them on what name they select but if you don't want to play/bet then it's your decision.

Why didn't you explain it from the start, that the Degens.com site is a Football bet, which can be exchanged for the ETH provided on your site's platform.

Your topic title with topic content is too convoluted, people understand it is an exchange site, not a football bet.

You're right, defining misleading understanding.

OP, change the title and contents of the topic, direct your goals, so people don't misunderstand him about your Degens.com site.

I am not getting what is the wrong on the name of this platform. Since every domain is unique then they can't duplicate others, also did you found any other casino by Degens name? The link your referring it's a dictionary and showing meaning of 'Degen'. For more transparent their platform name is Degens. They had their own thoughts during select name. I don't think this is any major issue.

You are misunderstanding the meaning of degens here. Op provided the definition of degen in the title with reference to sports betting and its meaning is different when compared to its original definition.

The name could be a problem and it is a risky move since many people would misunderstood its meaning for something else which is why I do agree that its name needs to be changed asap to something more customer friendly.

Why the name "degenerates"if I may ask? Probably casino thing? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Degen 
I would not use or visit a site with that name to be honest. Guess casinos that use the name are not interested in how their customers will feel when they know what the word means. Interesting features, but bad name unfortunately.

I like the name.

Also, the non-custodial deposits/withdrawals are really nice given the fact that a lot of people recently are having issues with sportsbooks holding withdrawals without any reason. This gives the peace of mind back to the punters who can know for sure that they're going to get fairly paid out.

My main concern is that how you're going to guarantee liquidity in markets for all events, and how the selection of what markets are open will be made. Liquidity is the main concern of most decentralized exchanges, sportsbook or otherwise.

I'm not understanding, it's peer to peer sports betting and all bets are conducted using a public viewable smart contract that has been audited by Quantstamp. So when you bet, you are betting against someone else and never against the house.

Over $15,000,000 of bets have been placed so far since 2017.

Sorry, we have the worst phenomenon we have ever experienced in 'exchanging on other sites, while betting gambling here .

We trust the gambling platform that provides direct exchanges.

There are many cases that afflict members here at the time of asset exchange.

It's not that I don't trust or doubt about your exchange, but we trust direct exchanges with the gambling sites that we play.

Degens is the first non custodial betting exchange to be built on the blockchain utilizing audited smart contracts. No KYC, no bookies, no censoring. This is betting turned upside down.

Degens is a P2P sports betting exchange using the stablecoin DAI and operating on the ethereum blockchain. Degens has been on the mainnet since 2017 with over $20,000,000 DAI exchanged.




Do you think Donald Trump is going to crush Biden in the debates? Similar to the stock market, Degens offers the ability to buy/sell their position to realize a profit as the odds change. So you don't need to accurately predict who will win the election to profit, just predict the direction on polls/odds will move.

This ability to trade also means that if your favorite team is winning at half time, you can sell your position to realize profits.



All bets are recorded on the blockchain in a transparent manner. This allows the player to piggy back onto the bets that the most successful bettors are making.



Degens is proud to offer the industry's lowest fees. We are able to offer such low fees because Degens leverages the Ethereum blockchain and cryptocurrency, which eliminates many costs that affect legacy sports exchanges.

We charge 0.25% on the claimed amount. The claimed amount is the sum of your stake plus your winnings. So, at even odds (+100), our 0.25% fee will be 0.5% of your winnings. Trades at different odds will have fees that are a different percentage of the winnings:




Degens utilizes a smart contract which means your funds are always in your control. One of the leading smart contract auditing firms Quantstamp performed our audit and the smart contract is verified on Etherscan.

Leveraging the power of building on the blockchain, no personal information is ever required. You bet directly from MetaMask with the smart contract distributing funds auotmatically to the bettor on the winning side of an event.


Degens supports betting using the stablecoin DAI which MakerDAO released. We also support WETH, which is a wrapped version of ETH.



Degens is a proud portfolio company of Draper Goren Holm which is one of the leading blockchain VC funds backed by billionaire investor Tim Draper. Degens also has received financial backing from the MakerDAO Community Development Fund.
