Does the introduction of Stake, take anything away from Primedice or does it add to the overall value of the whole operation? Why did you not just add the good games in Stake to the Primedice platform?
I know "Primedice" is supposed to be the de facto dice site, but the new games in Stake would have been just at home there, than having to develop a whole new site?
Is it not more expensive to run two separate sites?
I'm not on their marketing team , but my opinion is that Primedice is an old , established brand
and it is firmly associated with dicing , and it has DICE it in its domain name prime
dice.com
I think they wanted Stake to become a new brand , more of a multipurpose cryptocasino platform
it has a short and catchy name , and with time it can become a brand of its own (if it hasn't already )
as for Stake taking anything away from Primedice - it certainly does
there used to be 2% house edge on the Stake's dice games , both of them , so the new site doesn't cannibalize their other project
after some time , I think , they realized that there is a core of players on PD , loyal and coming back for the community as much as for gambling
and the Stake's dice HE went down to your usual standard 1% HE
part of the customers did transfer to Stake , simply because it offers more games in addition to everything Primedice has- multiple cryptocurrencies , live support , instant withdrawals , high limits etc.
it is more expensive to run two projects at the same time, there is no doubt about it , but in the end they decided it was worth the costs
