I think you should re-open the site with old software + invest option. And you can work for the new software, when the work is done, you can just release the new software with more platforms.

The point to re-open is you won't lose your old players and maybe some people decided to gave up bitcoin after they heard betking.io is closed !

Would be really nice if you open betking again.

Do you want BetKing to open back up?
- Yes - Now with same software + invest option
- Yes - New software (open around august-october)
- No - Smiley

I've had a month and a half break and looked at other projects and nothing really jumps out as things I want to do for next 3+ years.

I'm leaning towards the middle answer, create new software in own time and get it perfect and exactly how I wanted it then launch, stress free.

Launching the same product now would mean new software would take even longer to finish due to supoprt and running the site and it doesn't provide anything new just putting the site back on.
Why don't you hire someone to do support and run the site? In my opinion it's clear you wanted your time off, but the site was profitable enough to keep running without you personally having to worry about it. Closing the site seemed like capital destruction, but if you don't mind about that, good for you!

What do you think?
You asked for it Cheesy Do whatever you want Smiley Just think about the reason why you closed it in the first place. If that didn't change, why would you open it again?

Would new software have a decent API?

Yes.

The whole point of new software is to be able to go back with a fresh start and do things right building on the 4 years of experience I now have.

Dice is very simple but the tech behind it would include:
Proper REST API
Easier maintenance and deployment.
Easier to add new features, games or bug fixes
Better scalability and performance
Better auditing and security
3rd party app support

I've already started that for the new version. Dice game is done (including API).
Considering the response I think it might be best to launch dice after the new framework is in place and then add games/features as they are done (no rushing them this time).

I wanted to come back with a huge release and ad campaign but if say dice, casino and sports were all ready to go it probably isn't worth it from a business point to wait x months until poker was ready for example.



Cool. I support this decision.

Will you send me an email when you're testing the site or about a week before you launch so I can have DiceBot ready for the launch please?

if you are going to be back for real. You really need to get more players to play on your site back. Dont know if there will be many big whale to play back on your site or not since your site becoming ico. And may be what i really want to see is some new game with good amount of jackpot though. And of course with huge bankroll jackpot will be huge for sure. This will attract many people to come too

Looks like most people want it back now, which is quite understandable. We loves the site and we don't want to wait.

Why not reopen it now, and add some features along the way later?

Old software seemed to be fine to me as well. Won't mind seeing it again. However only staying with dice might be a better appeal this time. It seemed that the site lost focus when I saw roulette and other games on there.

i would like to see the old software, however if its possible, adding more games is way much better. so i guess i would choose the old software + invest option but hopefully you can add some games as time goes Smiley

@Box - Yeah probably right.

@Jungian - When I say new softwrae I mean dice, casino, poker, sports etc, not just the dice game.

Also, check the shills voting no so rapidly Smiley

I doubt there's even as many people seen this post yet as the amount of no's. I guess that's a good sign that competition would be scared Smiley

I tried to vote for the second option but it wouldn't let me as I'm on an iOS device but oh well, hope you guys do end up coming back. Without BetKing I've had to resort to betting on... PrimeDice  Angry

Comeback is real!

A new software Dean. The old one is good but other sites have innovated too, so I'd say take a bit more of your well deserved rest.

Edit :
And this time, have somebody else to help you do the Admin stuff.

Dice game I would like to see,
-faster than ever, realistic jackpot
Games I'd like to see,
-Keno
-Slots
-Lucky-9
Addtl feature I'd love,
-other alt-coins to play with
-exchange on site if it isn't too much

Getting a lot of people asking for this on Skype/pm etc

So here's a poll to check interest

What do you think?

If you're going to come back I'd say go with the new software. If you decide to re-open the old site what's there to stop you from coming to the same situation you were before closing the site. Atleast a new site would feel much more like a fresh start.

Just my opinion.

Why? I luck your site very much, because ico failed? But before the ico, investor bankroll is cool and profitable, why close? I will miss you
You luck his site very much? or you like his site very much?
Open 2 previous page and you will found the reason why Betking.io closed
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 Wink 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 Smiley (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 Smiley

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 Wink

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 Smiley.
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.

It's clearly a typo error and i think he's using a mobipe phone upon typing his message to this thread.

Nope, i don't think its all about the ico and as stated in quoted message you can actually find the real reason behind their closure, and its totally bad to see them closing since betking is a successfull site at the first place, but we must respect the ownere decision since he was a good person for giving a good exit and doesn't scam people who i mostly see on other site.

Yeah, my typo, u and i is near, my fault. I was so shocked when I saw the news, it caused my typo. Good luck dean..
