leet.gg lets you bet bitcoin on CS:GO, Minecraft, or League of Legends.  I've been wanting to play someone on Minecraft, but there aren't many players.

[EDIT] It seems like CS:GO is most active.

chopcoin for sure, I became so addicted to this lately. I missed on the whole agar.io craze, I played sometimes but never too much, now I have become addicted and even if it's just a clone, it's more exciting since you are at least making some BTC on the side while you are bored at the office when there are not many things to do, and at the end of the month there's not much to do so things like this are great to kill that extra hour Smiley

In my opinion, Poker and Blackjack are semi-skill based games for players with a good strategic mindset. If you are one of them, then you can try out your skills at Betcoin.ag

But in most of the cases you won't be able to find a 100% skill based game because that will obviously be risky to the game owner since the house edge fully depends on player's skill. Except a few of them are still existing such as Bomberman (Battleship) and Chopcoin.io

In past, there was a site where you could earn Bitcoins by playing chess. But as I said above, the owner was experiencing losses and hence was closed down!

BTW, I got hold of a site => www.velocitychess.com which has a similar principal but I'm not sure whether they reward players with Bitcoins.

If you're playing player vs player, then it would be skill based, but playing it vs the house doesn't seam to me like having anything to do with skill.
Chess on the other hand van be skill based, but that's just due to insane amount of possible moves that are hard to compute.
What was the name of the site that rewarded to play chess ?

I am really into gambling because it's fun to test your luck, but I have been playing that Battlecoin game, which is a game where you bet money and other players bet too and make a pot, then you play a match of Bomberman and winner takes it all. Are there are any other games like this that aren't 100% luck? Also what do you think of 100% luck games (pure gamble) vs skill based games? I just like some variety sometimes from dicing and casino type games.

I really prefer skilled games vs pure luck ones. I already know that game, it's getting pretty popular I think, and I hope that will be the next step in the gambling world, it would bring a lot of fun to gambling, and that's what I normally search for. For now, that is the only game I know, although I also heard that in the Dragons.tl you can get a mix of skill and pure luck based mini games, inside the MMORPG universe.

I have heard of that game, but just like other people has commented, I can't be bothered to download a game to play it anymore, in 2016 you need to have the stuff happening in the internet browser, people doesn't want to download stuff anymore (unless we are talking an actual heavy game like League of Legends or something, but not for mini games/gambling stuff).

Well this one is a MMORPG so maybe it can't be done just with browser gaming. Only saw some screenshots and a few youtube videos, but the game is full 3D etc, so I understand the need to download and install the game. But in the rest, yes, I agree with you.

totally agree with you that if you want to play skill based games then you have to play with live online real players instead of casino type games.  their are games like poker which is really a skill based games if you are playing with real players online not with site owner like casino.

''that will obviously be risky to the game owner since the house edge fully depends on player's skill'' Totally false. The owner makes money on commisions from each game played, he does not care who wins. He does fear bots tho, someone could use a bot or cheat and win everygame, people would stop playing and his site would eventually die.

Having more skill-based Bitcoin games definitely sounds like an interesting idea, but I guess the developers of such games think that overall the video-game playing demographic doesn't really exist in the Bitcoin world...?

If they continue to improve the game, however, and it becomes seen as a viable option for people to start using, I'm sure we will see more of them pop up in the future.

It's not because of that, the problem with pvp games is that you need to have a really big amount of people in your site to be able to play. There is also the possibility of cheaters, thats why skill games like chess are impossible to implement and other games similar to that are also impossible to make.

Chess is a really easy one to cheat though, games like poker you can cheat but its hard if the game is 1 on 1, the only way then is to have a bot smarter than a human.  Agar seems to be working so far.

There are plenty of poker sites but what other non general games can be made that are impossible to cheat? Not many, racing cars games or pool games are hard to anticheat and even so you still need lots of traffic so everyone can always play, sure you can have a bot but people want pvp

There are a few minesweeper and battleship like games, but apart from those few sites there are not many skill based games around. Maybe poker can be an option, if you consider it as a skill based game.

Regarding your question about pure gamble vs skill based games I'd say I'd like to see more skill based games. Most 100% luck based games (dice, slots, etc.) are quite boring.

Minesweeper and Battleship is not skill based. Its based on house edge just like dice.

Skill based is something like Chess against other humans.

The problem with skill based games (and yes they are fun) is they become dominated by bots or highly skilled players. Primedice which currently has the most traffic in Bitcoin gambling used to have PvP dice but removed it due to lack of use. So unfortunately, if the highest traffic gambling site saw almost no play on games like this then the market simply isn't there for it.

On the bright side at least with provably fair casinos you can verify your bets were fair which is something you wouldn't be able to do in a skill based game. You are basically trading some of the fun factor (in skill based games) for guaranteeing your bets are mathematically fair.

i would like to see more games like pool or belote and where players plays against each other to win the pot

Unfortunately, there aren't many games like this because of the fear of bots rigging the game.

OP, one other skill game you can try is tappabit.com, it's a good game but unfortunately there isn't a big userbase.

Poker is a skill based game.  If you're good with math, cards, and know a little bit about software, then you can make a killing playing online poker.  You'd need to find a site that is compatible with the available software, but there are all kinds of tools that one can use to take advantage of the game.  Poker is highly a skill based game....there is some probability involved but the trick is to use those statistics to get an upper hand on your opponent....there's a lot of money that can be made playing poker!
