Q4 2022: Signup-less feature: We plan to make macaw a complete streamlined lightning experience, meaning all our games will be playable and fundable without the need to sign up to a user account.
This is actually what many Bitcoin casinos/gambling sites should pursue as an eventual objective as a Bitcoin service. Think of a quasi-censorship-resistant gambling service that doesn't need a gambling license because it's powered by a censorship-resistant cryptocurrency.
Macaw.casino, let me suggest something, have a TOR mirror site.
I like your thinking
Having our games act as lightning based services is how we view it long term as well. Watch this space.
Provable fairness should be one vital feature of any casino, so I do agree that they should focus on this part. It is already coming from the team that the games are not currently provably fair, this will put some players not to deposit good amount of money. But I like the fact that they are patronizing the LN, which hopefully more people are getting acquainted on the use of this network because it is really cheap than the native network.
We are going to have a meeting about this this week. The community here has made it very clear that this should be the top priority, so we may have to rework our roadmap, and shelve some of the other features we had planned until a later date so we can focus on this.
Personally, I consider this a con not a pro especially for privacy-oriented casino such as Macaw.casino which do not request kyc and planning to allow users to play without registration. No question that CloudFlare is good when it comes to DDos protection and such but it's definitely
not good for users' privacy.
Thanks for bringing this up. We of course take privacy extremely seriously and we will look into whether it is worth moving away from cloudflare. Just a note, isn't this forum using cloudflare?

⚡ ⚡ ⚡ Just a quick update, we will be making a new commitment to the 'provably fair' standard for our games in the coming weeks, and will be making this our highest priority for the rest of 2022. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡
