Now, from my business understanding, in order to go after the dominant players in any industry and create a successful business, you need to do either something that they don't (ex: a unique exciting slot game that no one else has), or acquire customers through a channel that is overlooked by others (ex: Stake flooded Twitch when the other didn't look at it) or go after a dissatisfied customer base ...

Or just, idk, offer better service than them. It doesn't need to be new in the first place, just, well, better. A lot of companies underperform, but sometimes due to monopoly people have no choice but to use said service. If a competitor who actually does things right pop up? Take a few years and people would naturally migrate imo.
Good day everyone,
I'm interested to launch a crypto casino and I'd like to get your opinion.
My assumption is the following. The time where anyone could create a crypto casino and had a chance to compete is over. There are now very large companies like stake who have a dominant enough position to attract players with their affiliate deals, celebrity endorsements, welcome / retention bonuses and so on .. Most of the crypto casinos have the same platform design / game offering as stake which means trying to compete with them with bonuses isn't realistic.

I've come across multiple posts where the original bitcoin gamblers regretted the fact that none of the crypto casinos are anonymous like they all used to be, almost all of them requiring KYC at some point of the customer journey.
I think this is an opportunity to build something :
A real decentralised crypto casino platform - 100% anonymous.
Same principle as a decentralised exchange like Uniswap, all you need to get started is a non-custodial wallet with funds. No KYC.
Being fully decentralised and using exclusively crypto means we're operating within a grey area in the eyes of the law and therefore "no need" for a license.
I believe that in order to gain trust, using only provably fair games would be a great idea in order to show that it isn’t rigged.
It's just an idea so far but I think getting feedback from real players is the first step to validate my assumption !
Isn't this basically any other new casino out there promising anonymity? It usually doesn't last long, and as you've said it operates in a "grey area" so it's highly unlikely for it to be trusted early on, it'd probably take years before it builds up a proper reputation.
Honestly, KYC isn't bad (imo, don't burn me), the process that casinos ask for KYC is bad, dumb, and slow, and suddenly halts the user, freezing their funds without no rhyme or reason. Ofc if a casino can grow and build itself without KYC then sure, I'd go for it, but if it can't, the least it can do is provide quality service when it actually uses it.
