You have to be aware that if a whale hits a big run, its a huge loss on your part.

And not seeing any returns anytime soon, it goes both ways, but you have to be prepared which requires a huge investment money.

This wouldn't be a dice site where I would have to have a stash of BTC for me to have in case of a person wins a big prize... this will be a PvP gambling site that I want to create.

then you need to learn how to use google more effectively. do a search and make sure the websites you're going to are credible. example: do a search on the status of bitcoin as a currency in terms of swiss law, and cross reference that from multiple credible sources you can find off of google. next, research online gambling laws in switzerland, etc. there isnt going to be a conveniently defined clause for you that says "bitcoin gambling hosted from x country run by a person in y country is legal/illegal."

Ok, I'll try it out and see what I can conjure up. But how would I really know if a site that I come across is credible or not in your opinion?

of course it is still profitable to start a new gambling site if you have some unique ideas as people will surely play on it

Ok, so I know this is an old thread.. but asks the questions that's been on my mind for a good while. What if we think we have a really good idea for a new gambling game, but are stuck behind the legalities of not being able to create one because I live in the US? Is there any way to legally go about making this website?

I'm not quite sure what the legalities are with creating/hosting a gambling website in the US, but I'm pretty certain that it's not good. I would maybe try to find someone to host it for you? But then again, I'm not quite so sure about this stuff, and personally wouldn't want government busting down my door for creating some game I put up on the internet lol.

i believe its a legal gray area at this point, and no legal action is being taken against it. what primedice did some time ago barring US players from playing was a precaution more than anything. as for legalities, you could simply host the site in a server based in another country if you want to be absolutely careful.

But if I were to buy a VPS to host it on, would there be any chance of it coming to bite me/us in the ass? Like once it's on a server in, let's say Switzerland, the U.S. Government wouldn't be able to kick down our door, right?

I believe not, as long as the content on the server is not illegal in Switzerland, but I might be wrong, I'm not a lawyer. I would advise you look around extensively on Google, but Swiss laws are generally lax on currencies.

But see, I don't even know what I pull up on Google is exactly right though.. and don't really want to hire a lawyer from where I'm from, because I know that person is just going to say "give up"; because people here in this part of the US have probably never heard or care about cryptocurrencies. I don't even think the lawyer would have any idea their selves since crytpocurrency gambling is still so new.

then you need to learn how to use google more effectively. do a search and make sure the websites you're going to are credible. example: do a search on the status of bitcoin as a currency in terms of swiss law, and cross reference that from multiple credible sources you can find off of google. next, research online gambling laws in switzerland, etc. there isnt going to be a conveniently defined clause for you that says "bitcoin gambling hosted from x country run by a person in y country is legal/illegal."

There are many gambling sites available and all of them are active but out of these sites only few gambling sites are very popular. Mostly gambling sites are popular mainly because of the popular games on that sites. Sports betting sites are also very popular as many people follow sports and they think that they can predict the result of the match so they focus on sports betting. I think sports betting site will be more profitable.

If you really consider to make some gambling sites.
Then you need to make secure sites which with good appearances and probably fair game.
I suggest to make poker site with bundle of html program. People will start to play in your game if "your marketing team" good.

It is hard to start a poker site because poker site need so long time to grow that means it needs much money. There were many failed poker sites this year because of that reason. Most of them had a great grand opening promotion and many players join on the promotion, then the players leave after the promotion is over.

What do you think is the most profitable gambling site to create?

it is profitable ONLY if you know what you are doing.
and also only if you are not planning on doing a quick copy & paste of the infamous moneypot script which we see everyday a new site is using it.

you have to invest your time and money into the project in order to make it successful, but one thing is for sure; and that is the market is still not full and has space for more new ideas.

Something that is unique in the gambling market, and with a nice customer support as well, you will succeed as a site owner.

Dont forget about marketing strategy. Unique game and nice customer support without great marketing strategy (promotions, advertising, giveaway,etc) will lead in fail IMO.

It is always profitable to start a new gambling site, why? Short answer is:Because it is profitable business.
But you need to answer some questions first:

1. Do you have money for this startup? Or you just want to copy old dice scripts?
2. Do you want to create something unique or copy good ideas of others?
3. Do you want to hit some gambling niche never explored before?
4. Do you think you can bring something new to the table?

Well I do have some funds to maybe do a couple free giveaway buy ins for users, and maybe start a new sig campaign, but that's why I want to go in on a partnership with someone already in the gambling business or knows how to code and host a website legally. I feel if someone can be a full time dev and I'll work in terms of marketing full time then it would be beneficial for both of us. I just don't know where to start, because I've tried starting something in project development and I feel that I might need to try services, but in that area it seems those guys are just looking for freelance work, rather than a partnership...

But idk how to go about trusting that a person won't just run away with my idea when I tell them because it is so simple and probably a more profitable site than running a sports casino that uses spreads to create some kind of house edge. My idea doesn't need an edge and guarantees to make profit off every game... Not much, but still it's gaurenteed. Plus the payouts for winners would be extremely high and worth the gamble if they can part away with some extra btc.

ofcourse gambling sites is always profitable to its owner.
especially when you attract more gamblers.
in btc the most popular gambling is dice game i think.
but i should make it unique one so gambers will be
attracted to it.
goodluck..

Friend of mine and I thought starting a site was a good idea. Don't let this forum fool you there are less than 10k actual players and hundreds of sites. The forums make you think there's tons of ppl playing when in fact it's 85% or more just here to earn money with signature campaigns. If current trend keeps up there will be more sites than players so keep this in mind and don't let appearances fool you. Maybe 5 years if fiat players switch to bitcoin then sure right now...hell no.

I think there is always room for new gambling site and the market will never be full. so anybody with a new idea can start in this market and still be successful.

but keep in mind that doing what a lot of other are doing is not a good idea. just look at this section, every day there is a new dice site is created and vanishes after a while. the reason is that they don't have any plan or new idea, they just copy a 1000 times used script and change a couple of things in it.

but if you have a new idea, and you can make it interesting. there is always room for it in this market.

Not that im against and social and forum help,
but why dont you hire a consultant to escort you thru the process ?

I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to find a consultant for this kind of endeavor... most people still haven't really heard or paid attention to cryptos, so I feel that they wouldn't want to help me out because they feel it would be pointless.

Go to services tab. You can hire someone with a good skills there, there are so many people want to find this jobs. If you never try how can you even know that your site will be played or not? Thats why you need big amount of fund to open a new site and make some promotions and giveaways

I think it's all about marketing. Of course you can try to offer something different, but that will be very hard, and to be honest I don't think people care that much about what they are playing. I mean look a dice, I play it, but there is nothing really funny about that, except for the risk of winning or losing something. Also you can't really lower the edge to much or you won't be able to profit.

So I think it's all about marketing capabilities. Either you bring traffic to your site or you don't.

Nope I dont agree on that. May be part of it is about the marketing thing but for me personally I play at dice it depends on their chat, if there are active players and admin to chat it will be fun, any gambling site is all the same, sometimes people are gambling alone yeah it is no fun but if you can share strategy and chatting I guess that would be fun to play dice

id imagine you would need a giant capital to start with or some investors however thats unlikely since rarely anyone invests in new sites.

In this case I really wouldn't because it would be a PvP site that combines things in a pool for a big reward to the winner. That's all I'll really say, but the site wouldn't need a backup "bank" of investments if there are big winners, because players set the price points, in the game I have in mind.
