It comes from multiple sources as any good business should do. We try to rank well on Google searches, we have our BitcoinTalk thread. We used to run a sig campaign and ads here, which we may start doing again in the future. We also have our social media and other standard platforms. There's no one-hit-wonder for traffic.
Our traffic has still been steadily increasing to this day and hopefully will be in a good spot once we can launch our new products.
I bet it is definitely much more than bitcointalk because let's be honest it has been a bit quite silent here for the past few days, obviously not everyone who goes to mintdice from bitcointalk comes back to write about it, but if it was 100% bitcointalk only people, we would have seen a lot more, whereas now you get in a lot more places.
I asked because I was considering to start a casino of my own, nothing big just a place with some third party slot providers so that I would basically be the affiliate with own website and not fully a casino in theory but would look like a casino of my own, who else to ask but you guys? You guys are awesome at what you did. From that day to today I have already given up
.
You guys are working on a very very difficult business, kudos to even not bankrupting, really even "not bankrupted" is an achievement in casino business from what I learned
.
The problem with third party slot providers, aside from the fact that they aren't provably fair and you can read about real verifiable "rigged" stories where providers don't pay out due to "machine malfunction" and the like, is that you aren't really providing any new value to the casino / Bitcoin market. To get people to come to your website you need to offer something new and compelling. So that would be my best piece of advice if you were ever to reconsider is how you would offer something to make players really want to come to you.
If your website is solely going to offer the same products that already exist on 100s of websites, I'd ask you to try to look from the outside-in and then ask why you'd ever want to play on that website. Once you can answer that question honestly, you are on a much better footing.
All that said, the Bitcoin casino business is definitely tough, but Bitcoiners are very smart people and as our trust profile grows and our offerings grow, we think we'll start to win over some decent market share. We're really looking forward to our new product line we're launching but development is always a bit on the slow side. Nonetheless, things are always getting closer.
I guess they don't need more promotion anymore.
Yeah, this place has insane potential with all the information we have and it is not even funny, it is seriously incredible. Think about it, they said that they have seen some increase in numbers in recent months and that is with the current version, they haven't done signature campaign in a while and they still have a new version coming up.
With the new version, with the increased numbers, with the new signature campaign if they do, with the new games they put in, we are talking about maybe 5x of the number of users that they had only 6 months ago, maybe they are there already but I just wanted to be conservative with my prediction.
This place was somewhere I always liked because the owner is basically feels like a "friend" type of person and that matters in casinos but its also getting insanely recognized in crypto gambling world as well.
Everyone always needs promotion, to say otherwise would be incorrect. But the value that we were receiving from the signature campaign was relatively limited. By comparison, for example, offering the MintRain promotion on our website has probably driven more traffic for the smallest cost to us as a website to date, far more than the signature campaign. That's not to say a signature campaign or other marketing tools aren't helpful, many can be and many others are still used to this day. It just depends on what we feel is best given various situations.
The ultimate marketing tool is to be like Elon Musk and offer a product so compelling that people market it for you to their friends and you don't even need to pay for things. While that's difficult to do in the casino world, we hope that by offering a high enough quality product that eventually, word of mouth can do some of the leg work for us.
