That said, VPN users may have a different experience.... To be clear, I am not suggesting to use a VPN, just saying that VPN users may have a different experience.  Just sayin'

Let me see if I can get approval from the big bosses at THNDR for the copper membership

Want to follow up on a few points:


- Geo restrictions.  The geo restrictions are there due to local regulation.  As you can guess, we are are avoiding legal troubles from local authorities.  I'm fairly confident that most legit companies would attempt to abide by existing laws. 

- Yes, you are paid after every win.  Your winnings will land in your bitcoin lightning wallet when the match is completed and a winner is found.  No minimums for withdrawals, and none of that other nonsense.  

- No deposits.  Every wager is a payment from your bitcoin lightning wallet.  We do not require any minimum deposit or any of that nonsense.  

- No KYC.  Pretty straightforward.  Most Lightning Address enabled wallets are compatible with the platform.  That is all that is required.

- No bots.  As mentioned earlier, we hash all moves by all players and verify that what they submitted to the server are legitimate moves and scores.  

- Yes, Clinch is skill-based.  In a head-to-head match-up, both players received the same 'seed'.  That means the cards are laid out in the exact same order for both players.  Some decks are unsolvable and some are easily solvable.  Either way, the best players will be most efficient with their moves in order to score the most points.


Lastly, try Clinch.  There is a chat board inside the app where you can ask questions to real players if you have your doubts.  No need to even place your first wager if you dont want to.  

If you really want to test it, then make a wager at the lowest tier and see how it works.  We welcome you!

Now, that's a good sign I believe and when more countries and territories are added then players from those places can also enjoy the platform and have some fun with it. If there are APP Store policies that pose those restrictions then why not to allow more people on website directly and limit them on App Store version only if possible.

Despite my interest on playing PvP games I’m always hesitant to try this type of game online because there’s no way to verify if you are playing against player, bot or player using tools to play against you.

But I like the idea of PVP solitaire because this is one way to apply gambling on this card game. I just don’t know how can you guarantee fairness on each game that every player is playing against 100% real player on the other hand with fair games.

Btw nice website you’ve got. Aside from my trust issue your casino might be a hit in the future.

There are regional restrictions largely due to distributing via the App Store. But regulation around skill-based wagering is constantly changing, so we are updating the game regularly to include new countries and territories where it's allowed.

Just checked your site out and I am mighty impressed with several areas such as the stylish UI, comprehensive FAQ answering many important queries and the lightning network inclusion.

Your team does need to work on the ANN though since it's very, very barebones and first impressions are usually read through it within this forum. All the best team.

Sorry but how did you conclude this while it’s a newbie account with just one post?
You must be confusing user desisdead with the OP (adamTHNDR) The former is most likely a team member too but we should wait for a confirmation from the OP.
It would be better if they use a single account to respond here to avoid confusion like what happened here.

It seems that he is quite active and part of the team that knows and reports feedback to the whole team

Are you also a part of the team running this project, because from your statement, it seems so and for sure we may directly channel some few questions to you since you are active here in the thread, nice to know also from previous comment that you guys are in for a long term deal and at that we can only expect the best if and when the team keep working together to get something new and classic to their customers.

Also as suggested there is a need for you guys to also pay close attention to the issue of promotions because it is through promotion that you can easily reach your expected audience.

No, unfotunately, you won’t be able to make/receive payments with Electrum.
After signing up, you'll be prompted to choose one of these lightning wallets: Blink, Pouch, Speed Wallet, Strike, Wallet of Satoshi, ZBD.

This makes sense since the above wallets create lightning addresses (unlike electrum) which is needed to automate payments. By using lightning addresses you won’t need to manually provide a new invoice each time you win a game and want to withdraw.

Will it work with electrum which is not a typical lightning wallet but has the feature available?

Welcome to the forum, that's a really awesome feature which a platform offers but I saw that the platform you're promoting here isn't available in many regions and if that's the case then what if users go with a VPN to avoid regional restrictions. It's good to know that you guys somehow allow VPN connections but is there any safeguard that the ones who use VPN may not have any problems in future?

I would also suggest you to first purchase Cooper membership and update the announcement thread with some images. And, once the announcement thread is fully updated then it's far better to do some marketing here to get more exposure. I suggest you to talk with Icopress, he's an awesome manager who can help you a lot in marketing. Best of Luck.

At the moment, only bitcoin lightning.  But you can use a variety of bitcoin lightning wallets that have Lightning Address functionality.
