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.

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.

Market is never too saturated for creativity and some skills ! Even though most of the promoters around are into gambling or betting sites you can always out run them in the long run by creating something which is not there ! Start a gambling site maybe with free option to play or better games to play ,overall a good user experience.If once players get hooked up to it, you will have your bacon! The idea is to make something which has not become a cliche !

What if I truly believe I've got the creativity and have a brilliant idea for a new gambling game/site, but don't have the skills to code nor the legal standing to host one since I'm in the US? I really believe the game I have in mind will be a big hit. If any one knows any body who would like to start a partnership to create the "next big thing" for online gambling, please respond to me, or shoot me a PM. I would love for someone to jump aboard and help create it, if they are in a jurisdiction that allows them to make online gambling site; and in return I will do all campaigning and marketing of the game.

I've also got some spare funds to fund the creation of the site, but with this game you don't need a bank roll to start out (No it's not a ponzi).

Have you already made all the business stuff that the business people tell you to do before you open a business?

Like: what will be your public target, how much setup and maintain the site will cost, etc

Public target will be sports fans that are getting tired of placing bets against the "line"... I'll give more details to a person that runs a gambling website already, or wants to create one that's in the right jurisdiction to be able to host it.

I was looking at VPS's and they look like there's one in switzerland that looks pretty good and basically costs ~ $6 a month... with the estimated profits the site will create, and buzz it will cause in the bitcoin and altcoin community, it will definitely be worth it.

You're at the right place then! There are lot of experience programmers and web developers available here to code! In fact, there are other investors who can invest with you if they sense strategy in your business model.As far as US government issues are concerned on a gambling site, I suggest you to take advice from the other gambling site owners here .

Who would you suggest I contact? Do you know any of the gambling site owners, or developers here? I don't really want to pay someone just to code it for me, because I still run into the problem of being faced legal issues with trying to find hosting; and personally, I don't want my door kicked in because I'm running some game online... I'd like to run a partnership.

If anyone on here is browsing this and knows a gambling site owner, or is one... please respond on here or shoot me a PM. It's sports related, and I'm confident no one has done this ever... it's not daily fantasy, or anything of the sort... completely new idea and concept.

Is it still profitable to start a gambling site? Or is the market already saturated?
What do you think is the most profitable gambling site to create?

I kind of wish I knew about bitcoin in the early days, around 2010 etc. I think a casino or sports betting site would have been the best kind of thing to invest in bitcoin wise.

There are too many established & reputable ones around now though so I wouldn't start one now.

its still profitable uptill now, just make unique gambling site with unique prize will make your gambling site popular and at the end giving you profit

Yeah my game has definitely never been created or tried, but I believe it would become super popular once all the code is written and we figure out a way to host the site to a domain without running into legal troubles with government.

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?

For new people trying to start a gambling site, I would recommend using the moneypot API to build a gambling site. That way, you don't have to fund a bankroll, and you aren't suspicious, as you can't run with the money when you are using the moneypot API.

Yeah, me and the guy I've hired to develop the site were planning on doing that.. But unfortunately we hit a snag in trying to figure out a way to make the game public because we are both from the U.S., and don't know what to do about laws regarding creating online gambling websites... I think we might have hit a dead end, but would you know any way we could make this work/ be legal?

in BTC we trust

There are more than 600 bitcoin gambling operators in the market ( research made in July 2015 ), among them:

60% bitcoin casinos or mainly casinos with additional games
20% bitcoin dice
10% bitcoin lotteries
8% bitcoin poker

Among these you can find well established operations, with marketing budget, with experienced employees and with long term plans. But, also you can find one man show websites, self development which are also making revenue from their site and able to integrate 3rd party games.

The question is not if one can have a bitcoin gambling website, each can have with very small investment
The real question is if one can make the revenue and the operation out of it, and this only the owner can answer.

Anyway, good luck
