The important question is : Does the idea have a big fan base around the gambling community? AFAIK, gamblers don't really like to complicate things, Deposit - Roll- Withdraw. They don't really care about the future of the platform or the core that is Proof of Wager. You can successfully deploy a platform like this but will gamblers actually start playing on your site?
This is a good question, but I think more and more gamblers will be exposed to the lightning network. Bitcoin deposits/withdrawals are slow, but the lightning network is more anonymous&fast, which is an objective fact. Second, there is no need to deposit to a wallet that needs to be trusted (the wallet of the casino) belongs to the future.
Other casinos won't stand in one place too, they will eventually adopt LN too. So, the question is, can your casino with complicated features compete against traditional simple casinos? And what terms will you offer to players - what will be the house edge, will there be any competitions, promotional bonuses and all the other things that will make betting on your platform more appealing than competitors?
Yes, but you also have to take 'first mover advantage' into account.
This could actually be the perfect way to start a new casino from scratch and get a lot of interest, purely due to the fact that it works with LN.
Sure, the casino and games need to be good, but I wouldn't underestimate the power that "being one of the first LN casinos" has.
The power of "first mover advantage" is astonishing.
Fow now we have already support Lightning Network in BC.Game
But I have to say that this is not a pure lightning network casino. (Still need an account and deposit to us)
To be a commercial and pure lightning casino,we are faced with several problems.
First of all we need a lighting wallet with a decentralized identity system(This is the key to commercialization, users and we all need that).
And a protocol (like RGB) that can issue tokens in Lightning Network.
In addition, settlement is also a hassle. After the capacity of our channel has reached its maximum, we need to restart the channel after closing the channel.
The solution I think is that we should have multiple nodes and take turns to settle the channels.
BTW,welcome to test Lightning Network in
BC.Game (ill tip you i promise
)
