Topic: New Poker Brand for BTC (Read 3529 times)

Hello forum members.

I am currently under development of a new software for a poker room. We are looking to launch our brand probably within the first 2 weeks of this upcoming September. Needless to say, the poker room will be completely bitcoin based, and our mission is to grow and give out white-labels to potential partners. We are working extremely hard, to get a unique angle to this poker room.
However, before launching, I was wondering what players on bitcointalk think about BTC poker sites.
If any of you can give me your take on it. What are YOU looking for in a BTC poker room.

Deposit and Withdrawal Time?
Minimum Dep and Withdrawal?
Rakeback?
Licenses for your region?
Customer support? Language? Live-Chat
What currency to host the games in?
Freerolls?
Free money to sign up?
Rake percentage?

**Please also list some features you'd like to see on the poker table
Some features we are working on (will share pictures soon) - RakeBack box - showing you how much rakeback you accumulate per session.
Optional country flag
Optional Avatar
Chat bubble (similar to the old merge network) with icons and emoji's
let me know whats important to you

These are some serious concerns I would like to address, as I am sure that some or perhaps ALL of these questions have either stopped you from registering or have left you with little faith to deposit.

The more information I get from you guys the better I can build this thing!
PS - Please give reasonable answers. Obviously no one would expect to receive 1BTC no deposit and withdraw auto. So keep it REAL and perhaps our new brand will be the next PokerStars of Bitcoin!

Thank you in Advance.

So as we leap closer to launch date I wanted to update you guys with one of the features we are working right now to implement in our system.
Its called UBPlay (why its called that I'll leave for a different time)

Basically, we are going to introduce a game based on PLAY MONEY MODE.

And it goes like this:
When a new user signs up, he will be given 500 play chips that can be topped up once every 6 hours.
You can play any game you want , including cash games, tourneys, sitNgos.
Once you accumulate enough chips  you can purchase tickets for our events
8 events will run monthly, between mbtc100 - 1000 EVERY month.
Only way to enter the events is buy purchasing tickets through PLAY MONEY.
On May of every year we will host the Main Events of UBPlay, with prizes up to  BTC20

Players wishing to start with more than 500 play chips, or want to play bigger play tournaments can do so by purchasing play chips (kind of like on pokerstars, zyngapoker or wsop on facebook)

Value of chips: Every chip is worth 1 satoshi (however play chips can not be converted to real money)
Play chips can be purchased at 1mbtc for 100,000 (as there are 100,000 satoshis in 1mbtc)

We believe this can be a really nice feature that can push newbies to become real money players and help new btc players get acquainted with how bitcoin works

LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS FEATURE

REAL MONEY FEATURES WILL BE LISTED HERE SOON

Yeaaa considering bitcoin gambling sites include poker room run illegally , a license will be a good one.
Also don't run a completely free "freeroll" , just take a look to nitrogen poker freeroll requirement it is good.
A badbeat jackpot should be there and a new unique software that completely different with most poker room will make people not get bored & comfortable .

Will you be getting a gambling license for this poker room?

@shtako being unlicensed will bring alot of issues. I have been in the industry for 10+ years.

Poker is a high target for attacks & local gov.

Heads up games are my favorite

with low rake (5% 50 cent usd equivalent cap)
