Another thing is that, AFAIK, generally these bankroll investments used to be profitable before but I guess they've also changed a lot even if the market is turning bullish lately.
Yup, they used to be a big thing, but nowadays I'm only aware of 2 sites that allow BTC investments in the bankroll.
Strangely enough, them being less "popular" as investments, can make them more profitable. It's all about the wagered-to-bankroll ratio after all.
I suspect stats for BitVest presented here:
https://dicesites.com/bitvest may not be accurate, but if they are, it looks pretty interesting:
I'm too lazy to manually calculate the daily/monthly wagered average, but assuming it's about 7btc/day, HE is 1% and the total bankroll (per dicesites) is 78btc - this gives:
(
BTC7*0.01*365)/365=
32.8% expected annual yield. And that's in bitcoin, which is likely to appreciate in value on its own in the near future.
Of course this is overly optimistic, as low HE sites often have a hard time to achieve profits at expected levels + this doesn't account for investment margins. But still hard to ignore.
So it mostly boils down to how trustworthy and reliable the owner is. Sadly, such sites tend to be one-man bands, so if something happens to that person, it all falls down.
ps. is anyone invested here and cares to share what are the real returns?
True, that it may not really be accurate if pertains to the stats as it changes at most times. I'm not invested in their bankroll but if you wanna go and continue I think you can just observe more and just go to their chat and ask people there as it seems that there's still quite a number that you can talk with. However, probably most of them aren't bankroll investors but you can still try though.
This thread was a hot thing I think a year or two years ago because of the hot wallet issue and thing. But then, I started to see that it's no longer like from this time or is it because they've got lesser players so complaints have became less already. Otherwise, the operation is running smoothly.
Their inactivity plus lacking of marketing affects their casinos performance so maybe this is the reason why the number of gamblers keep declining to them. This is supposed to be the old and cool casino before but now it seems their fame has been fading out and they have been near of their downfall, if they could just return their promotions or the marketing like reviving back their long time running sig campaign maybe they can get back their exposure to this forum.
As for their marketing, the campaigns that they've done before were effective and made them popular. The inactivity on the forum by the owner might have some impact but we don't know the reasons behind it. As long as there's someone that operates it and likely from the forum as well but no longer active too, just wishing all of the players here and there to not experience such problems.
