one simple question why u want to sell this and after selling you providing your services why you not running by your self
Because I don't want to run for-profit gambling site with house edge, however the buyer could get the profit by integrating Peerbet into own casino.

For people not highly trusted, I would definitely have them sign a wallet with the funds they bid or something similar to prevent fake bids from just raising it, last thing you need is someone unwilling to pay winning it. Just a suggestion.
Most of anonymous bids come from trustworthy Bitcoin business owners, so I don't think they will cheat.

I still don't understand. How are you keeping the users' account balances? are the current users just going to be screwed? or do you mean that you are taking the current loses, thus we would need to have capital to pay out with in the mean time?
You should read the first post. I explicitly stated that the buyer takes liabilities against Peerbet's users, so balances are 100% safe and you have absolutely no reason to make panic withdrawals.

Anonymous bids are all good and such however account holders of peerbet probably would not be happy about a new owner who remains anonymous. This would definitely create anxiety for me if my funds are safe or similar things. Just food for thought.
Anonymous bids came from trustworthy Bitcointalk users who already operate own Bitcoin businesses, just they asked me to keep names anonymous. I will not sell Peerbet to the scammers.

Wow, considering the amount of time and work you put into this project... this is not much Undecided Sad to hear this.
When I created Peerbet I didn't expected much profit from ads. The main idea to make profit was to grow big user base and then sell Peerbet. Many startups follow this business model, even operating some time in the loss.
I expect the buyer who is owner of the Bitcoin gambling site, so he could significantly boost revenue by integrating Peerbet into his casino.

So it would still be interesting to get some information about the overall site's profits before placing a bid...
As I said in some post above, I don't track earnings from the ads. They are not much, may be 1-2 BTC/month. I assume that the buyer could get profit from integrating Peerbet into own gambling service.

Does this mean all the time running peerbet resulted in a loss of 20 BTC for the site? Despite ad revenue etc?
20 BTC is users remaining balances (i.e. total amount which users have ever deposited deducting withdrawals). These funds are on Peerbet's wallet, so I don't lost anything.
I decided not including the wallet into the lot because it is impossible to predict what part of these funds will be withdrawn (it may be as little as 5 BTC or as much as 20 BTC, nobody knows).

So it would still be interesting to get some information about the overall site's profits before placing a bid...

Basically OP is selling Peerbet not including it's wallet, while currently all user account balances sum up to 20BTC.

Yes and no. Most of that balance should be people who deposited. However, I know some free BTC codes were given out for a very small amounts. The owner has 20 BTC or so since the accounts have that much in there.

Just to make this clear to everyone, if you bid 50 BTC, that means you'll be paying 50 BTC for the site and an extra 20 BTC for users balance, bringing the total to 70 BTC.
As my experience shows, only smallest fraction of users balances being ever claimed, therefore 20 BTC on users balances ≠ 20 BTC in blockchain Bitcoins.
From my personal opinion, these liabilities worth 5-10 BTC in real Bitcoins.

What does that mean? liabilities? Can you answer out-right; Are the user balances transfered with the site or not?
Are you saying that you are keeping the balances? You are speaking very cryptically.

Can you clarify that 20 BTC liability to users? Is the sale including the customer's funds or not? That is, if I were to make a bid, would I owe the customers their funds in addition?
Of course these funds are not included. I explicitly stated in the first post that you have to take these obligations, however it is very unlikely that all balances will be ever claimed back.

Is the only revenue stream from ads and donations? Are there any statistics available on how much the site is making currently from those?
Currently yes, Peerbet's revenue consists only from ads and donations which are not so much (I even don't keep stats). But if you own gambling site with house edge, integrating Peerbet and its user base could significantly boost your profits.

I am offering for sale Peerbet - an unique Bitcoin gambling platform without the house edge. It has more than 2,000 active users and 6,500 accounts with non-zero balance which can become your casino players, as well as you can get some revenue from advertising. Google Analytics screenshot is available here.

Complete set is being offered:
  • peerbet.org and peerbet.ru domains,
  • website's source code and administration scripts,
  • database,
  • Android app,
  • Peerbet's accounts on third-party services (Twitter, Blockchain.info, Bitcoinmonitor.net, Inputs.io, Pingdom),
  • my help to deploy Peerbet on your server and teach its administration,
  • possibility to hire me to develop new features (for reasonable fees).

Please note that Peerbet has liabilities against its users (i.e. account balances) total value of about 20 BTC (at this moment), which potentially could be claimed.

Starting bid is 50 BTC for which I already got an offer to buy Peerbet. I will consider this auction as finished when no more bids will come for a few days or will get some big offer which let me decide to sell right now.
