We just launched our new Bitcoin/Lightning LIVE Roulette Site -
www.NakamotoRoulette.comWould appreciate feedback and comments or anything else the community has to say
-- Nakamoto Roulette
Name looks so simple yet so good. A tribute to Satoshi, some may see it offensive though. Not every Bitcoin enthusiast is familiar with gambling and it may cause bad image for them.
My observations:
Fonts look too big. As if it was made large to be accessible for the disabled. Is it your choice? It doesn't look professional.
"ALL Players get an Affiliate Link Code to share which nets them a whopping 50% of GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) monthly for the
lifetime of all player accounts they introduce." Is this lifetime referral earning sustainable?
We can't watch live videos without logging in. Is it done on purpose?
And last, do you have a license or not? I couldn't see it on the website.
I don't think I have nakamotoroulette.com there is a license, which can be understood from the lack of KYC, and yes, of course you are right about the UI, which requires significant refinement to look more attractive. For example, after logging in to the site and launching the game, roulette is launched in a pop-up window, it seems to me that it would be more convenient to see it continuing on the main screen, since it makes no sense to expand the window with the game due to low video quality.
Yes, we do not intend to get a license as it will limit our player base and regions we can operate as well as introduce strong over the top (in our opinion) KYC requirements.
The issue with the game popping out in a separate window and/or being embedded in the page is mobile phones - it is extremely difficult to find a way that it works for both desktop AND mobile without essentially creating two wholly different sites and UI's - we are still trying to 'get this right' and it will evolve as we use different devices and try different ways to present it -- and yes we definitely need to choose between it being 100% best on one particular device/platform and it being accessible on ALL platforms/devices. Cross device/platform support is extremely finicky and what works in one environment doesn't work at all in another. Due to very limited screen space AND tiny betting positions we must have the game pop out into as near-full-screen-as-possible on mobile devices. That said, there is a good argument to detect the device type and switch methods accordingly however this is terrible for testing and reporting as it is yet another variable anyone should report when describing issues - so we chose purposefully to keep it simple and 'the same' on all devices, at least for now. This may evolve in the future.
Of course, we do not consider it 'low video quality' - as it is not a pre-recorded broadcast therefor can not take advantage of some of the compression other streams can (netflix ?) and each viewer essentially costs us money to deliver that live stream in low latency (as it must never be cached), it is as good or better than the industry standard in live casino broadcasts. There has always been a balance between video-quality/bandwidth-utilisation/realtime-latency/cost when doing this, even with the first versions designed to work down a 56k modem connection in the 1990's (of which I was also one of the founding developers at that time too).

The design will evolve - for the time being we want a clear and concise uncluttered presentation which gets the message across and is ultimately as easy to use as possible.
Yes, 50% GGR is sustainable as it is NOT 50% of deposits or 50% of income, it is 50% of 'profit' generated over those introduced players. GGR is Gross Gaming Revenue, and it is calculated as
BETS minus WINS. This means that it reduces our house edge on roulette by half, but it still a positive number. Most gaming sites offer an affiliate deal such as 25% or 30% or 40% (a few at 50% too) -- however they require you to jump through some hoops and register as an affiliate usually on a side-platform and usually come with long lists of rules and stipulations and in our opinion, is overly complicated. We figure let's just jump over all that and remove the hurdles and make EVERYONE an affiliate automatically AND remove all the complexity and just 'keep it simple'. Need more marketing codes ? just open more accounts so you can account your individual campaigns independently if you wish. etc.
Technically this does allow players to open an account and be
an affiliate of themselves - and thats OKAY! -- yes it reduces our house advantage but overall it still works for us. We are thinking to make this message clear in the verbage on the page - that you may of course include your own betting activity therefor gaining a "
50% cashback of any losses month to month". Why not.
We will make all the games playable for fun without logging in, yes.
Absolutely loving this feedback!
