So are you guys working hard with new and improved features and could you give any sort of information regarding how the userbase is looking?

Considering this is a project where userbase is key it would be nice if you could have some tickers on the website with users logged in, registered or something of the sorts.

This looks super exciting. If any of my plans get of the ground i would love to feature this in an ad at some point. Cheers!

You definitely need to work over stake.gg user interface. I'm betting a lot and even I can't understand how easily to check odds and so on.

For me you are https://www.betmoose.com/ clone by idea, but for esports betting and with worst interface from them.

I agree the user interface can be improved, but in my opinion the odds are quite intuitive. The odds can be found directly above the betting UI.



I'm having a hard time with this site. whenever I place an order, it just remains open.. nothing seems to happen. maybe I'm doing something wrong..

Our site is an exchange, meaning your order must be fulfilled by another user.


Those are not odds, betting odds. The graph is of winning probability.
Betting odds are 2.22 (decimal), 3/1 (UK), +122 (US)
If your graph is showing 4.33%/95.77% why the f should I waste my time to get the correct betting odds? I will just bet on normal exchange.

Noone buy my orders @@

This problem will be alleviated when our user base grows.


Yes and may I suggest some type of Reddit advertisements or some type of signature campaign.

On bitcointalk there are many gambling sites such as these however they never grow due to illiquidity trading conditions because people try and bet but there are no maker/takers.

The League of Legends world championships have started. We're hosting a giveaway in this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stakegg-the-worlds-first-esports-exchange-free-credits-2187588 if you would like some free GG's.

1. On your site, I see credit cards symbols, which indicates that you are accepting them, right? Yet your only options for withdrawing money is Bitcoin and Skins?
2. Others said it already, there is no promo, no bonus, no incentive to try your platform. Think of some kind of additional motivation for new players. It would be cool.
3. You said that you support many games, so far I see only CS:GO and LoL - I am waiting for Dota2, StarCraft2 and maybe there is a chance you addr Smite and Paladins?

1. Implementing them as we speak, this was addressed in earlier posts. There is a lot of paper work that has to be done in order to process credit cards, paypal, etc in a site like ours.
2. There is a promotion - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stakegg-the-worlds-first-esports-exchange-free-credits-2187588 it was simply removed from this thread as you cannot host promotions/giveaways in this forum. That being said, I truly believe our low fees (1%/5%) should be a huge incentive for users to try our site as other sites charge upwards of 15-20%.
3. Our API supports 12 eSports titles, but they're currently disabled as we don't want to stretch our already small user base thin. They will be enabled in the future.

This got me excited as I'm an Esports follower and a casual online player myself. Honestly, I really don't know how's the mechanics here or how it differs in Esports betting (I do bet in Esports on a regular basis). Just visited your website and at first, I can't load it right away. Maybe my connection has some problems in it or you can check it if you are having issues with your site. I also noticed that your site only state Mastercard/Visa as payment options. Is this true? You'll not accept BTC in the future?

Another thing that I noticed is that your site asks for first name and last name. I will use a different one in this case but what's the point of asking it if people will just use fake ones? It would be great if you could also remove the country as it will be just the same fake information that users will provide.

The site is loading fine for me at the moment, so I'm unsure about why it may not be loading for you. Secondly, we currently accept Bitcoin/CSGO Skins, with the intention of accepting Paypal, Credit Cards, etc in the future. Registering with fake information is fine as long as Bitcoin/CSGO skins remain your payment method.

As I received some free tokens to try out your site I did just that for a couple of days and figured I'd let everyone know about my experience:

1) It was a bit difficult getting starting and figuring out what everything meant, you have the same thing displayed in different ways and that adds some confusion.
2) I placed a bet on a couple of games only to realize someone else had to accept the bet which in return meant that when I thought I'd won, I hadn't since nobody had accepted my bet. A bit frustrating.
3) I can deposit using Creditcard I assume? I can only withdraw for skins or BTC though. Hopefully that'll change in the future?

So, ups and downs throughout my experience. I'll give this another guy and keep posting my bets as they might get taken by others as your userbase grows. I agree with others that some kind of promotion would be sufficient as you rely on a big userbase that are willing to bet against eachother.

Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback, greatly appreciate it. I'll try my best to respond to each of your concerns below.

1) Agreed, our platform can be more intuitive. We plan on improving this aspect of the site greatly in future iterations.
2) Our site is built as an exchange, so this problem is rather hard to "fix". However, with a large user base this problem should be lessened.
3) Yes, in the future we plan on implementing a multitude of different deposit/withdrawal methods.

Great response! Appreciate the honesty and that you can be humble about it. I think that all you need is a few promotions and you'll gain traction. As stated previously I'll keep trying out your site and I do look forward to what the future may bring for Stake.gg Smiley

Why do u claim it to be The World's First eSports Exchange? AFAIK, there are many others like SportsBet.io, NitrogenSports.eu etc. Or, am I missing something?

Stake is vastly different than those sites. We're an "exchange" in the truest sense.

what this site really  needs is pundits,since its a betting platform that operates like Betfair,Betdaq and similar
you can end up betting on a team and get none to take your bet on,this is frustrating
since its a new site,I suggest you offer some incentitive for people to register and try it out
or run a good promo to draw pundits to your site,maybe a freebie smallish bet or something like that
