Blegh, not trying to flame here, just the cold hard truth. But idea's are worthless without execution. What do you provide except the idea? Why would I risk all my time for free just for 50% of the equity when I could do it myself?
I think I can speak on behalf of 95% of the developers: we get these deals weekly and we don't need someone with just an idea.
Thats not always true. It might be true incase of Startups and all, where a lot of work is required. But for a gambling idea , the idea is very important. For example the game plinko, is addictive, and has a very big house edge, and despite that people enjoy playing it. The developer can simply set it up and be done with it, and address minor problems that may exist in the future. Maybe a 35-65(developer getting 65) might be a better option perhaps.
Also, like I said above, it might be better if the op simply paid a developer to set it up and help with future issues.
I prefer idea's that have been executed before. If there is a lot of competition you know people like this idea. If you think you came up with your own unique idea (which I doubt) you will have no validation users actually like it, you will have to test the market yourself first. Examples of existing ideas but better executed: Facebook (better social network), Google (better search engine), Instagram (better picture sharing), YouTube (better video sharing). And these are just examples of multi billion dollar companies.
And to compare your Plinko example. Luckyb.it was the first in the Bitcoin gambling space, but Dice.ninja (ignoring the fact they scammed the users) executed a better version of Plinko and attracted a lot of players right away. The Plinko idea succeeded because it had been validated before (First by "The Price Is Right" in 1983)
