Thanks for all the good ideas and kind words, everyone. The best idea I'm hearing is tournaments. I will plan to code in support for tournaments, and then run a few with cash prizes. Winning something above and beyond the poker winnings themselves, should incentivize people to play and get me a player base.

month after this post and thread yet you remained Silent ? no update ad all? are you serious in what you are telling us here?

at least short update of what is the plan makes sense at all.

I also like the idea of adding other games. Do you think seven card stud and five card draw would be the best ones to add? Those are the ones I like anyway.

And i like it also maybe both 5 cards and 7 cards would make it better.

waiting for that to come now.

The idea is not bad, but I think there will be quite a few people who are hesitant about this domain of paddloboat.ms
Nowadays it is.com if perhaps to a lesser extent .io .ms exudes little confidence. However, if you can gain trust in the forum here and advertise, you can win a lot of players with it. Maybe play some freerolls for free so players can try the site without having to deposit money right away.

Domain names does indeed could really be seen and people does prefer on seeing .com or something in near popular but it isnt bad to have those odd domains but people couldnt just ignore about websites budget.

If they couldnt afford .com or better domain names then they would already have hindrance or questions in mind that the site budget or finances isnt really that great which is something not surprising kind of reaction.

Somehow same as suggested and advised above, as long you do stick on giving out good service and interesting promotions then this domain issue would be ignored.

I like the idea of adding other cryptocurrencies, but it puts a heavy load on the server. Running a Bitcoin daemon is the most resource-intensive thing the server does, and I don't have the resources to add another one. If my site ever starts making money, I will get a more powerful server and add other cryptocurrencies, but until then I don't think it's wise.

I totally understand the trust concerns. I probably wouldn't trust this site with my Bitcoin either. I think to address this, I will keep adding free functionality, so people don't have to trust the site in order to use it. Hopefully people will see that too much effort has been put into the site for it to be a scam.

You can use your site as independent site for tournaments. Someone else(even bitcointalk tournaments probably) can organize a tournament just using your site without deposit money. At the end just calculate how much everybody won and this man send money to winners. And you will get a commission for using your site. In this way you ought improve speed and accessibility of the site.

It is excellent that you take into account all the suggestions of the forum members, however if you do a general improvement of the whole site and create an infrastructure for pvp poker and at the same time you can leave the poker against the same system, it is something that you would be innovating in a casino, I don't know how good the performance is, but at least it is something new, and the new always attracts the attention of all the players, and already with an infrastructure that is only for pvp it would be leaving an option to tournaments are held with surveillance of a third party plus the help of blockchain, it is something like Betnomi is doing, you can start as they do, then you can make the necessary improvements, of course this is my suggestion and if it is in the possibility that it you can do.

I think the term frequent player must sound familiar to you and that is good here in the forum, its equivalent would be a frequent poster and as it happens in poker, good or bad, that is determined by time in the individuality of each person...building community is not Easy, which in your case is measured by player traffic.

It is good that you take into account all the suggestions, but the best thing is that you return to answer in the thread and in that line of thought you join the community not only as an owner or entrepreneur but as a user who can contribute to the community.

Always nice to see a new Poker website being developed. I will check your website out this weekend and give it a try. Having an active player base is the most important thing for any poker website. Nothing is more frustrating than sitting alone on a table and nobody is joining. Playing against bots can be nice for learning purposes, but to really play for money we need to have other humans to play against. Maybe during your initial launch phase you could add more heads-up tables so you only need 1 person to play against. To attract a larger scale of players you should also consider running some promotions and giving deposit bonuses for larger stakes. It's quite hard to convince regulars to switch to your website. Good luck with website.

You definitely should improve your user interface because it seems like you are lost in time. Nowadays, there are so many poker sites that has been on the internet and they are reputable ones. If you want to be par in the competition, then you must consider enhancing and improving your website first to garner and encourage more clients to look it up and be their go-to. Check the things that a player will be looking for for a poker site and then incorporate it to your website. That way, you'll have potential clients. Consider to add variety of games to play too. Like a twist and such to make the players curious and engage with your site. Please take this as a criticism for your site to be successful in the future. I wish you luck OP.

Hmm, interesting, site UI looks pretty old style, nonetheless rather clean though and uniform all throughout (from what I can see). Still, if you were trying to advertise the site as a business then I doubt it could get much traction, but if it was solely for people who want to play and stuff like that (kind of like god field if you know about it) then yea, it could work as one, especially with the timeout feature which looks rather interesting imo.

It took you one year in order to develop this website?
Sorry for the question,but are you a newbie programmer?

Could be, or that it didn't necessarily took a year but rather just spread out the work in that year.

friends view has an old look that was probably in 90's but I was in school ,this day there are so many poker games in other places that offer competition bonuses and other things ,OP should offer another bonuses policy which can attract more interest ! for free practice with bot will only waste gambler's time ,sorry I see it from the side of gamblers who want lots of opportunities

The design looks good for me it was like I'm playing solitaire on my old PC which brings back the memories. I tried it with bots It looks good and I don't see any problem, I think you just need to attract more players a simple promotion or competition is enough to attract players, I personally don't want to play with bots even if the game is fair it's much better for me to play with a real players.

But for the sake of self testing then it isnt really that bad either but its true that bot will only waste gamblers time which i do see that it would be surely be ignored.
In regarding about sites design then it is really that a very simple basic and lots of space been not utilized even though its simple and direct to the point
but i do hate solid green color. hehe

Same impression I have upon visiting his site. It has an old school vibe which I like because I love old stuffs, from songs, to games, movies, anything. This can make his poker site stand out from the crowd. His site doesn't have bonuses yet because like he said he only made this for his own interest. I mean no big business partners but if we support it and his site grows big, he might consider this soon.

Free play's are not a waste of time if your goal is to enjoy and past the time. Also it allows you to practice and master your poker skills. Another thing i like about his site is the ability to email you when your game is ready . not sure if other poker sites have this feature?

What a classic game design that looks like 90's solitaire game. It's so good play in there with bots because the gameplay is very smooth and it feels nostalgic all the design aspect of the game. The main question here is how we can trust you that you will not run with our money? There's no info about your company or anything that will give players assurance that you will not run. This is 2022 and most of the people here don't trust anymore unlicensed Casino. I will be happy to use your website as casual game with bot but not with real money. Make it decentralized if you really want to run it anonymously.

After a year in development I've launched my Bitcoin poker site, Paddleboat Mississippi. If you like no-limit Texas hold'em, please consider checking it out at https://paddleboat.ms/.

I am not a big company, just someone who likes Bitcoin and poker. I wrote the kind of site that I would like to play poker on myself. The game looks and works much better than other poker sites in my opinion. The design is clean and functional, putting gameplay first. It uses modern web technologies, but doesn't look like a typical modern site.

Objectively speaking, the website reminds me of those 90s computer where your dad stays at the office playing solitaire all night.

Kidding aside, though I do understand that your funds may be limited, I hope you invest on its aesthetics and overall user interface. It is essential that the moment a potential customer opens a website, it would attract him for the first 10s to navigate throughout the page. In this way, they would be more inclined to stay making them your potential target customers in the long run.

It's a simple website and there's the feeling that design is quite intriguing and interesting for me. Only one paid game/table is there.

But the good part is that there are many players that are trying with the free game. These folks probably are just checking out your poker site and it's a good start that there are those that have visited your site.

I haven't signed up yet and just looked at the few tabs.

My place here seems to be for your site and if you want to get acquainted with the players as a part, then the first thing you need to do is to make your design a little better because the mind of your lips is a bit normal I mean, you have to improve the design a little bit, and you have to take a good look at the ones that are gambling and present them to everyone.

It's not that bad for me but yeah, if there's a room to improve in the website then I think that you should take time to consider improving or changing the overall vibes of the website. If you don't want to go to all the trouble, then you can probably hire people to do the designing and coding for you. Paddleboat reminds me of those boat casinos so it's pretty cool.

When i visited your site i thought that i`m back in the 90s. I suggest you to improve design and use your script. With such design you can get some "old school" gamblers but it will be low quantity of players. If you want to promote you site you need at least high quality design, several cryptocurrencies with low commissions for deposit/withdraw and several more games at least. Or your site will be just from several friends. May be it is not bad.

Well, I had the same feeling, like we are back in the 90s! But even that retro look can be good, as you say it can attract some people who like that design! What bothers me can we trust this site? Who wrote the code for card shuffling, or is it borrowed?!

Starting a poker site is not easy! Attracting players is the hardest part... and I guess for attracting players only money helps! Marketing, tournaments with guaranteed prizes, freerolls... all that should last so people will have a chance to see your site! And all that costs money, as always, more money more chances for success, less money less quality, lower chances for success!

We can`t say anything about code. Just test and analyze games one by one. The same problem with deposit/withdraw - only test and believe the OP. As for me - i don`t want to play with such design, so this questions are far from mem i don`t plan to do any research.
About promotion - first of all - change design. With such design only specific player will play and the expenses will be much more than profit i think. Or it`s possible to play some old school home tournaments, at least for the first time, to get some money for promo. But the OP have to find players even for such tournaments.

I see that you aren't making this website for the sake of making money and growing a gambling business.
Perhaps I will try the free version,but I'm busy right now.
I don't really think that somebody is going to bet actual Bitcoins on a website that doesn't look legit enough and doesn't have enough gamblers.Maybe the poker players can use it to train their skills for free,but there are way bigger platforms for playing poker for free.
