I am also putting the final touches on a system that allows a more "insured" way of exchanging paypal, and credit cards between buyer and sellers of cyptocurrency that avoids terms of service violations and strict KYC requirements.
How do you guys plan to implement paypal considering chargebacks would still likely be a problem when buying crypto ?

Hi everyone.

I have a simple question.

What would the Bitcoin (or maybe altcoin in general) community like to see and support in a new Poker Site?

I'd like to create something viable, trust-worthy, if not different, at least wanted and enjoyable, and eventually successful by all definitions.


Hello again friends.

In light of some success in my current Project and Business, and after further research, I have determined that a Cryptocurrency Poker Site would not be the best possible contribution I can make to the community, and not the most profitable and best use of my time, money, and efforts.

That being said, I will continue putting my efforts into developing cryptcoin trading robots,  to be introduced to the market after we finish testing (beta testers will be needed).

I am also putting the final touches on a system that allows a more "insured" way of exchanging paypal, and credit cards between buyer and sellers of cyptocurrency that avoids terms of service violations and strict KYC requirements.

If you'd like more information on the beta testing, trading robots, and trade "insurance-like", inbox me a PM and I will send you more info when it is available.

Thanks for everything guys!

freerolls are needed cos many players here are freerollers, including me,  Grin btw, fast connection, good promos, easy to use software are important as well.

I hope you will have big and good freerolls, hourly freerolls are good too, you may introduce them to your site, good luck, I hope you will run a great site.

Yeah freerolls are great for attract players to come, but not a good deal for the site. Too many freerolls will only make the players play only on freeroll without join the ring tables as the main purpose of a poker site. And freerolls are easy to be abused by creating multiple-accounts.
It is good for a promotion, but its not good for long run. So, I'd like to see more promotion on ring games.

Its hard to say how would you make a poker site a success and if it will have enough traffic. You would need a software much better than the existing ones in the market as most of them seem to be failing in getting traffic to their site, despite them having freerolls or an online client.

103 days, 21 hours and 10 minutes.
Another poker site, what you should do first is troll back pages of the gambling section and see the 5-10 poker sites that have come out this year and are pretty much forgot about already. It is great you want to give the community something they want but the truth is not a lot want poker. The biggest set back you are going to have is not having "tons" of money to pump into the site for promotions and advertisements, poker imo is the hardest start up gaming site. Good luck if you follow threw.

I'd like to see a btc poker site that offers insurance to the leading hand. I would play this exclusively if it came out.

All the things mentioned above ie trust, fairness, online without download.

Another things I would like to see is maybe a few of the different varieties of Poker. For example Texas Hold'em as one of the most popular. Also 7-Card stud, 5-Draw etc etc.

I think a true provably fair system for each game played would be nice to have on a poker site, hope you can improve that.

By the way, good luck with your poker site and let us know when it is up to try it.
A provably fair system will not truly be a provably fair system under no circumstances, under the condition that you are playing with a few players you know. The main reason a poker room may not be having a fair system is to have cards in play which will generate more rake for the casino, by essentially keeping the shift in chips so no players wins big or loses big, so most of them would stay on the table and continue generating rake.
However, even if that process is made fair, there is nothing stopping from Site bots, which would win more to steal from the players.

Poker site without any download require to play would be great i mostly like to play at html5 poker site because these are safe to play sometime i feel uncomfortable which site require .exe files, most important thing freerolls tournament with nice prize can be helpful to attract players.

guess who's back
the best thing that may attract the players in the first place is the site design and the script
in my opinion creating a new site using Poker Mavens won't attract new players
try to program a great software and this may crash the market
and I like to see a community part like the one in Betcoin , this involves chat and forums for the players
this would be really interesting

What about an item shop where you could exchange loyalty points for things? Like the fiat poker sites that are pretty popular. Maybe offer some gift cards or t-shirts or coffee cups etc.

If you don't have at minimum $50k to launch a bitcoin poker don't do it, it will fail just like many others out there, you have to offer at least 25 bitcoins in free rolls in the first 2 months, give away 20 bitcoins in free chips to the first 150 players to get your poker site a start, no one wants to play if there's no players to play against, then you need a software that costs minimum $20k. Unless you're thinking of poker mavens? There is many poker mavens sites out there, sure they may profit, but you can't keep long term players there.

If site is made attractive with some original script and at launched all games are provably fairs with simple registration process surely everyone would like to play on that site.Players usually try to win on new sites more than old ones.You need to test well before launch and there is no reason to not be successful.Lower house edge and instant deposit/withdraw for little amounts and reasonable time for larger withdrawals will be best thing.

the main things are trust, design, and big freerolls, these things would surely attract a lot of players and make your site one of the most popular ones

Trust is something you get with time, he knows that, design for me is not that important, honestly i prefer normal and clean designs rather than flashy and super colorful ones, obviously freerolls and giveaways, everyone likes those but thats not going to make your site successful. Have a good support team or try to be online most of the time to answer questions and problems for your customers, i hate it when something goes wrong and i have to wait days for the support team to respond. Other than that have a good hosting and your site will eventually become big.
