IMHO, players who lose their balances when a casino closes is one of the worst things that can happen. For players because they lost their money but also for the whole industry. In terms of reputation, it's bad for all other crypto-casinos. In people's minds playing on such casinos becomes unsafe.
I'm not saying that I'm doing charity here but as I explained before, it's also a way for me to promote Bitsler and to get potential new players. I want to show them and the others that you can gamble safely with cryptos and that this industry is not just full of sharks and scammers. It's my way to support the players, this community and this industry. I don't see how it could hurt anybody except myself as I 'm the only one who is spending money in this regard.
I understand that some of you have personal/financial issues with Dean but I don't think that this is the appropriate thread to be discussing that.
Sometimes I try to put myself in a newbies shoes that's new to crypto and whatever thread he'll try to read - he will see people screaming about scam stories which could most likely push him back to FIAT. It was almost impossible to make a crypto-casino without this forum and the communities support when I launched Bitsler almost 5 years ago. It was probably the most important voice in the industry and a very important one for all the crypto investors. I miss that time when we had a strong guardian and a good ambassador but unfortunately, I feel like it's not the case anymore. For now, there is no new entity that has enough impact and reputation to shed a clear enough light on what is clean and safe/unsafe for the players who want to gamble cryptos.
I know that Primedice was trying to build something like that with its foundation (they contacted us to join it) but at this point, even if I believe that's a good thing to do, it doesn't fill all the requirements and the guarantees of fairness that I'm waiting for (I know it takes time to build something like that and to make everybody agree on the same project).
About investors, they are not concerned with this refunding plan and IMHO, it's a completely different debate that has nothing to do with us.
On a side note, I noticed that bitsler added "blast" which is using the bustabit code (
for posterity) but was unable to find a link to the modified source code (like the AGPLv3 would require) and didn't see it using a paid license (like would be specified in
https://bustabit.com/license.txt ). What's the backstory there?
It seems you forgot that I paid for it 3 years ago. I forwarded you in private our emails and proof of paiement.
